My consultation experience with Dr. Cho at Bio (previously Bando Eye) was a waste of time. He was arrogant, inconsiderate, and I didn't care if he had a good reputation or not, I would not go through with a revison surgery by someone who doesn't seem to care about a patient's concerns - or at least he wasn't with me.

I highly recommend Dr. Kang at IOU Clinic. It is his own practice so he takes pride in his own work and a patient is not just a number to him. My eyes are starting to look better and better each week since my revision surgery in December

Hi girls - I got my eyelid surgery done in korea about a month and a week ago. But already I can tell that the line is too high. I thought that 90% of the swelling goes down after about a month? Everyone keeps telling me to wait but I can already tell that this is not going to go down any more than this. I would want the fold to be at least HALF the size that it is - it just looks awful.

Who would you recommend for revision in Korea? And revision will be able to fix the problem right? Obviously you wouldnt know without a picture but I would really like to know that there is a possiblility for me to have surgery that will make this all better...feeling terrible and self conscious right now.

In my opinion, there are plenty of great doctors in Korea who will do awesome jobs if this is your first time eyelid surgery but not many doctors can be great at revision eyelid surgery. So, please be very careful of choosing a revision surgeon. I had my revision eyelid surgery with Dr. Kang from IOU a little over year ago and I am very grateful for him giving me a normal life back. I totally trust his skill as a great surgeon. Good luck to you all !

I just met up with Dr. Kang from IOU as he was going to be my #1 surgeon that I planned on seeing. My heart feels like he is the best for revisional surgery and told me that there is a 95% chance that it will be successful. He was spot on telling me my crease is 6.5 mm and would look best at 5mm. I consulted with allooooottttttt of surgeons and Dr. Kang seems the most honest. You can just tell he cares for you and will do his best. Every surgeon I had a consult with told me my case is VERY VERY difficult for eyelid revision, but Dr. Kang assured me my surgery will be what im looking for and he will fix my overly swollen sausage lids. If anyone is looking for a revision Dr.... Dr. Kang is the guy. Ive been researching for a whole year and have only heard positive things about him. Other Dr.'s know who he is too, hes very famous. When I came to Korea I was expecting the price to be aloooott higher then what I was quoted at. Yea its on the high side, but not compared to what people are paying on purseforum. I had my cousin (local Korean) with me who did all the talking. They really do charge you more if you're a "foreigner" because they want to make money off of you. I really did get mine for cheap with Dr. Kang. I also stopped at Pintagui which is across the street, my heart didn't feel that Dr. would perform a good revision surgery and tried pushing lateral canthoplasty, lower bleph, and other things I didn't need. I wouldn't recommend going there.

I am facing the same issue. High and uneven crease despite after eyelid revision. I heard Secret and Eve is good for double eyelid revision. I went to secret in 2015 for consultation and The line in 2014. Both told me that I need to extract some fats out near the armpit area and to cover on the crease. But DAPRS and the other clinics said doesnt required. So i went ahead with DAPRS in 2014 but still i find the crease too high and uneven despite the revision.

But debwij, they will ask you to wait for 6 months before the next revision.http://forum.purseblog.com/members/debwij.589412/

Is it not recommended to do laterals if the eyes are already close together? I reckon my eyes will look even closer after rhino revision. My lids are not parallel although i dont mind having it, but the most important thing is to firstly elevate the lids. Ive never done DES and i already have lids but want the eyes to look brighter. i get conflicting answers from different dr, so just want to check if theres anyone here with similar situation

It looks like there are many people going to Seoul in April, in that all of the translators are booked. There aren't many people on the list we've been updating, so I'm wondering if April is a busy time in general?

I've waited several years in getting my eyes corrected, and don't want to wait any more. I'm wondering if I'll be able to pull this off alone and still go to Seoul in a couple of weeks. I can speak some Korean, but I'm not totally confident that I'll catch all of the technical terms.

Any advice or suggestions in reaching the clinics or doctors directly would be greatly appreciated. I've read more than 260 pages of the PS thread, which was helpful but confusing too!

Awesome, thanks for the links to the pics for Teium. It wasn't on my list until I kept seeing their name on the other PS thread. The pics are pretty good. I'm assuming he's using the fat grafting method similar to Dr. Kang at IOU.

Since I'm getting a revisionary procedure, I really only want to see an eye specialist, an occuloplastic surgeon. Eye specialists are usually very cautious and hold the health of your eyes as the main priority. General plastic surgeons, while some are also good with eyes, can tend be a bit more carefree than I would like.

Also, I appreciate you confirming the number for IOU. I'm not sure why it's not working for me when calling from the US.

I am curious about Eyemagic. His before and after pictures show an improvement with the shape of the eyes, and not just the eyelid.

I just received a private message suggesting Jueun PS, but most of his pics show only a complete removal of the double eyelid. Does anyone have experience with this clinic? What are the doctor's strengths? I do appreciate the additional name, as I feel the more choices we have, the better.

i would prefer to have an eye specialist for my eyes too.

Finally had revision done on my eyes and back home resting!! Here to share my experience and hope I can help anyone going to Korea for revisional eyelid surgery. My trip in Korea was a pleasant one.. I'm already missing Korea! The weather was very cold and windy and can really dry up your eyes. I walked outside the street for few minutes and everything looks blurry and misty.. haha. Wherever I was in Korea, I will wear my shades and hat. These two are essential especially when is sunny outside. Plus people don't really stare at you so I don't feel quite awkward.

Because I only had 10 days in Korea, I was hopping to get surgery the same day of consultation. My first consultation was with Dr.Kang from IOU. I arrived 10am on a Saturday and his clinic is already crowded with locals. Later I was led to a room by Ms.Lee, the dermatologist (apparently only one that can speak adequate English besides Dr.Kang). She asked some Q&A and brought me to see Dr.Kang. Dr.Kang greeted me and my family warmly and examined my eyes. He said that my case is severe and he can improve my scarrings 70-80%. But he set his goal 80-90%. He asked me to lower my expectation, I had 2 revisional before and I can understand what he meant. He showed some photos and point out what procedure I need - ptosis correction, fat grafting, lowering fold and scarring. After that, it's time to discuss the price with Ms.Lee. I knew the price at IOU is not going to be cheap.. I was quoted 6plusM KRW. After more bargaining and agree to pay cash - she lowered to 6M KRW. If you use card you have to pay additional 5% tax.

The next consultation was with Dr.Kwon - Teiumps. I took a taxi from IOU clinic, is relatively near, I think the fare was 2800KWON only. You can see the logo outisde the building. The clinic is located upstairs and look very stylish. When I went in, the clinic was empty. The lady asked me to fill some particulars and waited for Dr.Kwon. I think I waited 30 minutes then I saw Dr.Kwon and another man came out from a room wearing surgical mask. I think he just operated on someone. Went into room and Dr.Kwon and the man was there. He examined my eyes quite thoroughly - he has quite a strong cigarette stance xD. He then pointed out what procedures I need, which is magic epicanthoplasty and revisional eyelid surgery (incisional) and ptosis. But he didn't mentioned the scarring, so I asked him and he said he can improve 70-80%. And I asked him if he can make my eyes even - he said he will try. After checking with me if I have anymore question, he and the man left the room. The lady earlier came in to discuss the price - quoted 7M KRW. She later reduce to 6.8KRW by herself. I have 1 more consultation in Regen but ended up not going as I need to go back to IOU by 2.30pm to pay the deposit.

I was not allowed to eat or drink 5 hours before surgery and they let me wait in their room with bed and TV. And they have Wifi in their clinic :smile: It was time for my operation and was led to the operation room. They injected me and Dr.Kang came in to draw my eyes. I can't remember what happened next until Dr.Kang woke me up to asked me to open my eyes. After that, I'm 100% aware what was going on but there was no pain at all (very thankful for that!!). After operation, I was the last one and was turning dark already. Went back to the hotel straight.

I have been going to the clinic everyday for dressing and check up by Dr.Kang.Second day after the operation, Dr.Kang pointed out that my left eye muscle is weaker than expected and I might need to do revisional. I was shocked and scare because I didn't want to go through surgery again. He said if I need to do revisional it will be on Thursday. Thursday came and he checked me again and asked me to prepare for surgery. He said he will do ptosis correction and add more fat on my left eye. I went through surgery again.. and thankfully no pain at all! I was quite shocked after surgery because my left eye was significantly larger than my right eye. But Dr.Kang said very good and said it will be even.

I got my left eye stitches removed on the last day in Korea. I'm going to miss Dr.Kang and Ms.Lee. They are very warm and nice :smile: ! Oh, and dont forget to try the little stall outisde the clinic - they have yummy egg+bacon sandwiches!

My eyes now are much MORE improved than my previous eyes. I can tell that they are much more even and natural. I can't wait will my eyes settle!
