Hi everyone,
I want to share my experience with Dr Seo at Machimpyo. Seems like he does hit and miss mediocre primaries for eyes. There are good reviews here on his primary DES and fat grafting, but I had a very bad experience as did many others. He has a lot of photos of eyes to a point where you’d think he was so experienced, but he is really bad at DES revision. He had a lot of revsion photos, more than most. So despite the reviews I read of PF, I tried to trust my own judgment and went with him… I feel so stupid.
I had surgery with him three months ago and I am so down. He made my eyes worse than before, again it seems like he’s done this to many. I consulted with 5 clinics and he seemed the most confident.
I had large sausage lids. All I wanted was lower lids. Complicated yes, but not as complicated as other cases. He was supposed to make a new lower cut and release the old crease… that’s it. My eyes were still youthful and symmetrical despite my large creases. So how do I end up with hollow uneven deep creases and aged eyes? I didn’t have deep hollow creases before. Please tell me how? One crease is double the size of the other. The smaller crease looks hooded. Every surgeon I’ve consulted with thinks he removed fat. When I asked what he did, I wasn’t given a direct answer and was told to wait. I waited and now no word back.
His office has ghosted me like SO MANY OTHERS. At this point I think he just says yes to every revision case, takes the patient’s money and does whatever he wants to their eyes and has no clue how to do revisions. It’s morally so wrong. His translator was so rude. She was big and smiley at first, then told me nothing was wrong and seemed passive aggressive in her messages, and now nothing!
Oh and his website says he works with an anesthesiologist, but everyone I’ve talked to, including his rhino patients have said that he is the only one that does anesthesia. I don’t remember a moment of my surgery! You’re supposed to be asked to open your eyes and blink so the surgeon can see how that I functions and symmetry. Another person I talked to said the same thing. He just knocked us out totally and never had us blink to check his work.
I am so fragile right now. I went across the world and used every last penny I had to fix my eyes and now I look so weird. I also think he removed skin from my eyes even though he said he didn’t. It’s that or because my crease goes so deep in my eye socket now that it looks like there is less skin. This is so painful. He has brought me so much shame. I’d rather have just kept my sausage lids. I look so old now.
I’ve talked to three of his patients on Kakao, and one person has uneven eyelids now too, another had large deep hallow uneven lids, and another has hooded eyes. Two of the people I talked to also had rhino with them and both of them have crooked septums and pinched noses. One of them I talked to before my surgery, after my surgery I tried to talk to them again and they said “I am no longer allowed to talk about Machimpyo.” Interesting.
I think the people who have good results with him just get lucky. It’s the luck of the draw. I cannot recommend Machimpyo. I’m heartbroken. I just wish he said “go somewhere else or I don’t know how to do this”. I wish I could go back in time. I wish I could have my money back, but even that won’t fix this. It won’t heal what it’s done to me mentally and physically. I hope this helps someone out there. Even if you want to do primary with him, if something goes wrong, you may never hear back. I don’t want to talk to anyone privately. I’m burnt out on this forum and Kakao. I want peace. Best wishes to everyone.
And since it seems Dr Seo is personally on PF. If you read this, you need to know how deeply you’ve affected my life. What you are doing to people is wrong. Shame on you.

wish I could do something to help. I did revision surgery with Dr Kang from IOU and I got a really natural result. Maybe consider looking at his website and how you feel? I’m also personally thinking about doing epi with Dr Kwon at Teium in a week too. Hope these clinics might be able to fix it
