Hi Everyone!
I wanted to write down my experience with Thank you clinic since they were so helpful throughout the whole process!
I scheduled a consultation very last minute as it was suggested to me by a friend. I felt like I was being overcharged by another clinic so decided to go to Thank You clinic to see how their prices are since Dr. Kim is a reputable surgeon and popular with locals. They were very transparent with me and I found their prices reasonable.
Before I met with Dr. Kim, I met with Soo Young the consultant and she broke down the prices of what surgeries I am looking into and might need based on what I asked for with the help of Chloe. After talking with Soo Young and Chloe, I was able to meet with Dr. Kim and he confirmed what I need based on my wishes. He also let me know what is and isn’t possible as well as what the different types of lines will look on me. Originally I wanted non-incisional ptosis correction but since my eyes are hollow, it wouldn’t be the best choice since there’s a change the sutures will rip. He was very informative and spoke english very well.
After some pricing negotiations, I decided to book with Thank You clinic even though i already put a deposit with another clinic. I felt more reassured and confident that Dr. Kim will be able to successfully fix my eyelid issues (multiple creases and ptosis correction).
Soo Young and Chloe are both so sweet that they offered a free facial treatment for both my mom and sister since the money I put my deposit down with another clinic is gone, it was too late to get my money back
Now that I set up my surgery date, I was given clear instructions on what to do before surgery.
I had my surgery on September 1st and had to get to the clinic at 12 pm so I can fill out some final consent forms that let you know the risks of anesthesia and outcomes might not be 100%. This is normal before every surgery and there was even a part where the clinic stated that they offer a free revision for up to a year. Chloe explained to me that free revisions are for clients where the surgeon messed up, but this has never happened. After signing the forms I was seen by Dr. Hwang to mark the areas that shurink will be used and where my steroid shot and fat dissolving shot will be. Dr. Kim came in right after him and was drawing up where the fat transfer will be places and was drawing up my double eyelid line. I made some few adjustments with the final line I wanted and let him know.
After final marks have been placed I got ready for surgery and was met with the surgery team. One important thing people should know that this was all done under local anesthesia and sedation. This is because Dr. Kim needs to make sure the eyelids are able to close and for him to see how the final line is. This sounds scary at first but I didn’t feel any pain at all! The only issue was I was really cold, but for me that’s normal with any anesthesia. After surgery was over I was taken to the recovery room and stayed there until I was feeling good. After feeling better I was able to leave and with the help of Chloe I got my post-op care instructions and medication. Soo Young is so sweet that she came by to take a look at my results and to say goodbye.
I’m currently 1 month post op and I still
feel like I have a bit of swelling left on my eyes but overall it looks good so far! I was told the ptosis correction is a roller coaster in terms of healing, so just gotta be patient. My only issue is my left eyelid looks like it has 2 inner creases, but was told it should disappear when my swelling goes down.
As for my fat transfer I do feel like it helped but not much since the fat didn’t stick even with me eating soooo much. I was told I would need multiple transfer to stick so I should’ve just said no to the procedure. I’ve noticed the fat transfer to my eyelids has stayed more than my face so I’m grateful for that since that was my main concern because of my hollow eyelids.
Overall, I’m so grateful that I decided to get a last minute consultation with Thank You clinic. Chloe and Soo Young are both so amazing and sweet. They helped me so much and Dr. Kim was so informative and patient with me. I can’t wait for my eyes to be fully healed!! I will update everyone once I am 3 months post op.
Here are some before and after pics!
