Hump Nose ㅋㅋ
I was super stressed about my hooked nose. My profile looked like a witch's nose ㅜㅜ
But I was so scared of nose surgery that I really worried a lot.
And I didn't want an obvious nose job, so I went to a lot of consultations focusing on clinics that do natural surgeries.
After getting a consultation at Gangnam Seoyeon, I really trusted the director. The manager was also very kind and explained things well.
I was so, so satisfied when they said they could do it using only my cartilage without using silicone.
Surgery day, thump-thump... I was so nervous, but
I woke up after a short nap and the surgery was over.
I was so scared that it would hurt, but it was just stuffy to breathe and didn't hurt much, I think.
It was just a little uncomfortable to go around with something like plastic on my nose ㅋ
Some people went out and about just fine after surgery... but I just stayed home.
By the seventh day, it was a little swollen, but it was okay to walk around outside.
More than anything, it was so refreshing after taking off the plastic and band-aids on my nose.
It's almost been a month since the surgery.
My profile is amazing ㅋ I can't really tell from the front since my nose was already high,
but I'm very, very satisfied with my profile pictures.
My friends say it's not obvious and super natural. They're jealous ㅋㅋ
Thank you, Director~ ㅋㅋ

Buried Double Eyelid + Canthoplasty Review
I've been contemplating double eyelid surgery for 10 years and finally made up my mind to get consultations. I have monolids, but sometimes when I'm sleepy, I get these intense double eyelids. Plus, I use my forehead to open my eyes, so I get wrinkles easily ㅜㅠ. My eyelashes droop and frequently poke my eyeballs.

After four consultations, I decided to get surgery with Dr. Choi Dong-il at Gangnam Seoyeon, who first looked at the line I wanted and explained the surgery in a very pleasant way, giving me a sense of ease and confidence.

I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be, so I went onto the operating table as if I was going to sleep, and I was surprised at how quickly the surgery ended. Even while recovering in the recovery room, I looked in the mirror and was happy that there wasn't much swelling and it wasn't too gruesome.

It didn't hurt at all, and the only pain was a slight ache in the bruised area! For a week, I consistently went for walks three times a day and slept sitting in a chair, hoping the swelling would go down quickly. After removing the canthoplasty stitches, it already felt natural?? I felt like it was going the way I wanted it to go! ^^

I felt a bit anxious in the middle, so I contacted the clinic manager right away, and she kindly explained and informed me, which relieved my anxiety. Even after removing the stitches, I practiced opening my eyes frequently.

Lastly, here's a picture about a month out, with a slightly upturned look. I think the swelling will go down a bit more and it might become like this or even thinner ㅎㅎ. I'm really satisfied with the surgery results.

I don't look sleepy anymore, and my eyelashes are lifted so they don't poke my eyeballs anymore, which is so great!! ㅋㅋ T_T

Incisional Ptosis Correction, 4 Months Update
Ugh...
I went around Sinsa, Apgujeong, and Gangnam for consultations just to get double eyelid surgery. Thinking about it now... I really don't want to do that again.
I heard there were a lot of brokers, so I really picked and chose, and I think I went to about seven places.
But the last place I went to was Gangnam Seoyeon.
Every hospital said something different, and I was about to throw up.
At Gangnam Seoyeon, both the manager and the director explained everything I was curious about in detail.
The manager was so comfortable... (Actually, other hospitals just said pretty things... but it didn't really feel genuine... This manager is seriously the best)
The director is also subtly funny and cool, lol.
Some hospitals' directors are too authoritarian... and a bit scary to ask questions to, but
this director was friendly.
I'm so grateful that they made me feel so comfortable during the surgery.
It's been a little less than 4 months since the surgery... there's still a bit of swelling left... but the makeup looks amazing, hahaha.
I was so anxious the day before the surgery...
But I felt comfortable during the surgery too.
First of all, I'm so grateful that the surgery went well.
Well, have a good one~

Male Rhinoplasty Review
My nose was too big and blunt for my face, and it kept bothering me. Then, an acquaintance introduced me to Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery.
I searched through their website, blogs, and cafes a lot and had a consultation.
The clinic was clean and luxurious, and I trusted the consultation manager's friendliness and expertise even more.
I decided to get the rhinoplasty I'd always wanted.
I like the shape of my nose, and it looks natural, so I think I made a good decision to get the surgeryㅋㅋㅋ
My home is in the countryside, so it was hard to travel back and forth for surgery and treatment, but
the results are so satisfying that all the hardships I've been through feel like nothing.

I'm grateful to Dr. Choi Dong-il, who performed the surgery so well, and to the staff who were so kind to me during the pre- and post-operative treatment process~
Everyone thinks it's originally my nose unless I tell them I had surgery ㅋㅋ
I'm also grateful for the friendly and kind treatment I received every time I went for treatment.
My sister has booked her surgery during her vacation, and I'll go with her then~
Thank you for your hard work ㅋㅋ

This is before the surgery.

Honest Review of Incisional Ptosis Correction + Epicanthoplasty & Lateral & Lower Canthoplasty!!
Hi everyone! I'm a college student who got incisional ptosis correction + epicanthoplasty & lateral & lower canthoplasty at Gangnam Seoyeon at the end of August, hehe.
I looked into ptosis correction surgery at like 5 hospitals because of my uneven eyes! Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery was the one I chose out of those, and I think it was a really excellent choice... First of all, I personally found the director's consultation trustworthy.
After the surgery, not only did my uneven eyes improve,
everyone keeps saying my eyes are so pretty and why didn't I get it done sooner, lololol.
My eyes also got bigger, and I love the double eyelid line!!!
I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to write one, hehehehehehe.
Anyway, I really, really love it, hehe.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Men's Incisional Ptosis Correction Review
Hi, I'm leaving a review about my ptosis correction 11 days post-op. I hope it's helpful for those who are planning or considering the surgery!

Before surgery: On my mom's recommendation, I got incisional ptosis correction at Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery, where my younger sister had surgery. Before the surgery, I talked with a friend who had ptosis correction and a canthoplasty, and I used that as a starting point. On the day of my surgery, I told them I wanted ptosis correction and maybe an epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty without a specific plan. Then, the director explained how he would perform the surgery to suit my face and said I didn't really need an epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty. Originally, I strongly thought that I should get as much done as possible to improve, but I remembered my sister's advice (she had surgery at Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery before me) to just listen to the director and not talk too much. Also, I can always get additional surgery later, so I proceeded as the director suggested. I think listening to the director who performed the surgery is why it turned out so natural. The director, the consultant, the people in the operating room, the people who do the disinfection, etc., everyone at this hospital is so kind. Thank you again, and I want to say thank you for your hard work.

Surgery: Honestly, I'm a total scaredy-cat who hates pain. So, I was super nervous before the surgery, but the people in the operating room, of course, told me it wouldn't hurt. But I was still really scared... T_T I think there will definitely be people reading this who are worried about the pain during surgery. But in conclusion, it didn't hurt at all. Except for the little prick when they put the IV in my arm, I didn't feel any pain. I heard they also anesthetized around my eyes, and surgical tools definitely touched my eyes, but I really didn't feel any pain, so you don't have to worry.

After surgery: Of course, it hurts when the anesthesia wears off after surgery ^^. I guess that's unavoidable. For the first hour after surgery, it was okay, but suddenly the pain came like a tidal wave. I was trying to take my medicine, but I hadn't eaten anything, so I was starving and sweating a lot while eating ㅠㅠ because my eyes hurt ㅠㅠㅠ. But the pain gradually subsided at night, and I didn't really feel any pain right before going to bed. And my sister was in pain for two days, but I didn't really feel any pain from the next day. I was just uncomfortable because I couldn't wash like I did before the surgery, so I felt gross. And I followed the hospital's instructions and took the medicine and applied the ointment on the right days.

And here are the photos after the surgery. I originally took these photos roughly just for myself to see how I changed, so the quality isn't very good ㅠㅠ

This is a photo taken on the day of surgery.

This is a photo from 6 days after surgery. The yellow around my eyes isn't because I didn't wash, but because of the ointment...ㅠ

This is 8 days after surgery.

Currently: I think evaluations of oneself are more reliable when done by others, not oneself. That's the case for me too, and my family and friends who know I had surgery say it turned out well. They also say my impression has softened, I look better, and it doesn't look like I had surgery..>< Of course, even if the surgery went wrong, no one would say that to my face...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But I'm also satisfied because I think I look better than before when I look in the mirror. I think the photos look especially weird, but I look better in person. It's not just about the eyes themselves, but they're harmoniously balanced with my face. I need to wait for the swelling to go down more to see the results more clearly, so I'm going to keep waiting for the swelling to go down.

Other people search and visit many plastic surgery clinics before deciding, but I just went to this hospital because of my sister's results. My younger sister's eyes were so natural even before the surgery, so I didn't worry at all about it being too artificial. I didn't search, so I don't know much about other plastic surgery clinics, but if a natural eye surgery result is a priority, I think I made a really good choice and I'm lucky. I hope this post is helpful for those who are planning or considering surgery, and I hope you have prettier eyes by referring to this post and many other reviews. Then, I'll end this post~

Non-incisional Ptosis Correction, Epicanthoplasty 2 Weeks...
Before surgery

After surgery

It's been 2 weeks since I got non-incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty.
My eyes were droopy and small, so I'd been looking into non-incisional ptosis correction since I was in college.
But back then, I was a student with no money, and my military enlistment wasn't far off, so I just kept an eye on it.
I finally decided to get the surgery after being discharged... It's a good thing I waited because back then, non-incisional ptosis correction was a relatively new procedure.
There weren't many reviews because not many people had gotten it, and it turns out it's a procedure with a lot of potential side effects...ㅠ
Some people got their eyelids cut off in a skin excision style when it should have been done with hidden double eyelids,
and they ended up with lagophthalmos and other side effects...
At first, I wanted eyes with no double eyelid at all, but
after consulting with the doctor, I decided that it would be safer and look prettier that way.
I think he has a good sense because the shape came out really pretty, just the way I wanted it. ^^
It's only been 2 weeks, but I'm so satisfied because you can't see the double eyelid, but my eyes look bigger.
It's exactly what I wanted. ㅋㅋ
When I get older and my eyes droop and I need surgery again, I want to get it done here again.
I hope Gangnam Seoyeon Clinic continues to thrive until then!

One Month Post Eye Shape Correction ^^
It's been a month since I got eye shape correction and medial epicanthoplasty, so I went for a progress check-up today!!
Before the surgery, I was super nervous and worried about what if things went wrong. I was shaking ㅋㅋ
I think I said "Please do a good job~~~" like a million times before lying down ☞☜.....ㅎㅎ
Like the manager said, the doctor really did it quickly and painlessly!
So I feel like there's less swelling and it went down faster???
It's only been a month but it already looks natural~
I hope it doesn't get any less swollen though ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
My eyes look clearer and prettier, so I'm happy with the lines *^^*
I'll probably compare photos again when I go for my next check-up, right????
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋBy then, I think I'll be even more embarrassed to see my eyes before the surgery;;;
Thank you for doing such a good job~
I'm gonna refer a lot of my friends ㅎㅎㅎㅎ

Incision Double Eyelid Surgery + Epicanthoplasty 5-Month Review
I got double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty here this summer ^^.
I originally had very inner double eyelids that weren't visible,
so I usually covered them with double eyelid glue and makeup,
but I made up my mind and decided to get double eyelid surgery.

This is a photo right after removing the stitches on the 7th day~
Even before removing the stitches, there wasn't much swelling,
but after removing them, the swelling went down quickly,
and my eyes were so pretty above the mask that
I ended up taking selfies all day long. ㅋㅋ

It's been 5 months since the surgery now,
and people around me were amazed that the swelling
went down so quickly.
The left and right symmetry is perfect,
and I can feel that the surgery was a success as time goes by.
I'll see the director in 6 months. T_T
Thank you!!

I'm so happy with it ^^
You can barely see it in the pictures, but I actually had very thin double eyelids. Because my eyes looked sleepy and my features weren't defined, I decided to get surgery. I paid the deposit and scheduled the surgery date on the same day I went for the consultation, haha.

I trusted the director so much because he explained everything so clearly and confidently during the consultation, haha. I was like, "This is the place!" and decided to get the surgery right away. I was also very satisfied because the line I wanted and the line the director suggested matched perfectly! You could say we were on the same wavelength ^^ The director seems to prefer a natural look!

He showed me several before and after photos of other people, focusing on those with similar eyes to mine. They all looked so pretty and natural ^^ I went in thinking I would only get the buried suture method,
but I was prepared to get incision + epicanthoplasty if necessary. However, he said I only needed the buried suture method! He was firm that I didn't need incision or epicanthoplasty, lol. I saw in other reviews that they don't do unnecessary procedures, and it was true, lol.

On the day of the surgery, I thought the swelling would be severe because I'm the type of person who swells up easily!
But the swelling was just so-so? Not much at all, and I only had slight bruising. It swelled a little on the 2nd and 3rd day, and started to go down from the first week. The swelling and bruising were almost completely gone in less than 2 weeks. My mom said it looks so good and natural, and everyone at work said it turned out great ^^ And from the 3rd week, I just wore makeup and lenses. For reference, I was too lazy to do things that help with swelling, like ice packs, pumpkin juice, or walking...lol

It's been a month now, and I'm so~~~ satisfied. I regret not doing it sooner ㅠㅠ Thank you to Director Choi Dong-il for the beautiful surgery, and to the kind manager and staff! ㅎㅎ

Male Eye Correction 1 Month Review!
I went for a consultation on a friend's recommendation and ended up getting recommended for male eye correction, so I got it.
I was always self-conscious about my sleepy eyes, but they said eye correction would improve that a lot.
At first, I was worried it would be too much... or too obvious...
Actually, all the guys know... if the double eyelid is too thick, it looks awkward, and it's better not to have it done.
I was hesitant, but I saw the before & after photos here and thought it would be okay, so I went for it.
Thankfully, I had it done with sleep anesthesia? so it didn't hurt much.
They woke me up in the middle to open my eyes. I think I opened and closed my eyes a few times because they had to check the shape of my eyes as they went.
It felt like it was over in a flash, even though it took less than an hour lol
Afterward, it felt like someone was pulling my eyes up from above, which was a bit uncomfortable, but they explained beforehand that feeling that way is normal, so I wasn't too worried.
It wasn't very swollen on the day of the surgery, but it swelled up a little on the second day. But if I opened my eyes wide, you couldn't really see the swelling.
I guess I'm not the type to swell up easily ㅋㅋ It was okay.
The swelling completely subsided by the end of the week, and it became exactly what I asked for during the consultation: "Clear eyes without visible double eyelids."
ㅋㅋㅋ It was amazing. On the first day, I could see the double eyelids, so I kept asking anxiously, "It's not going to stay like this, right? It's going to go away, right?"
But it disappeared like that in a week...
Now it seems to have completely settled. I don't have double eyelids, but my eyes are clearer than before!
My friends are saying I really made the right decision ㅋㅋㅋ
The doctor did a great job making it look natural. Thank you!!
My friends keep asking me where I got it done, so I'm telling them.
Then I'll see you at the 6-month checkup ㅋㅋ
Thank you again, Dr. Choi Dong-il of Gangnam Seoyeon ㅎㅎ

Incisional Ptosis Correction + Epicanthoplasty + Upper Eyelid Fat Grafting 6-Month Review
I'm leaving a 6-month check-up review today.
As I got older, my eyes looked sunken, I got multiple creases, and my double eyelids seemed to be loosening, so I had surgery.
I went to several clinics for consultations, but this clinic seemed to be the best.
At first, I had a consultation for a non-incisional procedure, but the doctor recommended an incisional procedure and fat grafting.
I heard from people around me that incisional procedures can cause scarring, look unnatural, or require a lot of revision surgeries.
I was planning on getting a non-incisional procedure, but they recommended an incisional one.
I had a lot of questions, and they answered them all, and the consultant was also friendly.
When I looked at the before and after photos of people who had surgery, they looked natural.
When I went to other clinics, I said I would come back later, but I was really torn here T_T.
I really liked that there was only one doctor, so they focused on me and were meticulous.
It felt very different from other factory-style clinics.
I really liked that they didn't try to upsell me and were firm about what couldn't be done.
I usually wanted to get epicanthoplasty, canthoplasty, and lateral canthoplasty, but they said I only needed epicanthoplasty.
I gave up on the non-incisional procedure and laid down on the operating table for the incisional surgery. I thought it would hurt as much as I was nervous, but
I had a comfortable surgery.
I didn't even know when I was anesthetized, and all I did was open my eyes when they told me to...?
After the surgery, I had a little bruising? I had quite a bit of swelling, so I was a little worried.
A week later, after removing the stitches, the swelling seemed to go down faster.
I was worried because I was very swollen on the first and second days after the surgery, but
As time passed, I could see it gradually going down.
I'm so satisfied because it looks so natural now!! ^^.
My friends say my eyes look more defined.
Thank you, Doctor ^_^
