Day 2: Pre-Surgery Consultation
  • Attend your scheduled consultation with the surgeon. You should discuss any concerns, confirm the procedure details, and ask questions.
  • The surgeon may suggest additional procedures such as ptosis correction or a mini facelift based on your needs. For example, ptosis correction is recommended for tightening weak upper eyelid muscles.

Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids
The medical team members are so friendly and helpful. Although I speak zero Korean, I can sense their passion and empathy, which dramatically reduced my anxiety to go through the surgery. They are very supportive from the right beginning to the end when I left Seoul. And big thanks to the assistance from Yena, who provides detailed before and after care instructions rather than just working as an interpreter. Now two months after surgery, I am quite happy with the shape of my new eyelids. They look much younger and alert.
