Questions for double eyelid surgery consultation?
3 checkpoints Dr. Park Si-hyun highlights!

Hello.
This is Obje Plastic Surgery.
Many people make an appointment for a consultation
because they are planning to have double eyelid surgery,
but when the consultation actually gets close,
they often feel lost and wonder,
"What should I ask?"
If you search online,
there are so many question lists,
but it is hard to memorize them all,
and it is also not easy to know
which ones are really important.
On top of that, once you sit outside the consultation room,
you tend to get nervous and forget more than half
of what you prepared.
Then, after the consultation is over,
there are many cases where people regret,
"Ah, I should have asked that too..."
In fact, when preparing questions for a double eyelid surgery consultation,
it is not important to prepare a lot of them blindly.
What matters much more is
"what kind of questions" you ask.
So today, before your consultation,
I will only pick out the key points
that you really need to check.
If you read until the end,
you will be able to ask only
what is truly necessary in the consultation room.
Check these 3 things about your eyes first
Before preparing questions for a double eyelid surgery consultation,
there is something you should do first.
You need to check the condition of your eyes
yourself.

You may be thinking,
"Doesn't the doctor check that for me anyway?"
But if you go in with even a little knowledge about your own eyes,
the quality of the consultation changes completely.
First, check where you use strength
when opening your eyes.
Look in the mirror and slowly open your eyes,
and see whether you are putting tension in your forehead.
Next is the thickness of your eyelids.
When you gently touch them with your hand,
just get a sense of whether they are
thicker or thinner.
Lastly,
check how protruded your eyes are.
From the side,
see whether your eyes seem to stick out more,
or whether they are relatively set back.
If you understand these features of your eyes in advance,
you will be able to understand the doctor’s explanations
much better during the consultation.

And then you will be able to ask specific questions,
like, "I tend to use my forehead when opening my eyes;
would another procedure be better for me?"
Why "Please make it pretty" is not enough
The second thing to prepare is
to organize the image of the eyes you want
as specifically as possible.
Many people, when consulting about double eyelid surgery,
say only,
"Please make it natural."
But in fact, the standard for what looks natural
differs from person to person.
So when you are asked,
"What style do you want?"
you need to be able to clearly answer
what "natural" means to you.
It is also a good idea to bring a few photos
of celebrities or surgery before-and-after photos.
However, what matters is not just showing them and saying,
"This eye looks pretty,"
but being able to explain
what exactly you like about that eye.

For example, "Like this person,
I like an in-out shape at the front,
and a line that does not droop at the back
but instead feels straight and extended."
This is the kind of specific expression
you should prepare in advance.
Then the doctor can understand exactly what you want,
and explain whether it can be achieved
with your eye structure.
Another thing to be careful about is
not deciding on the surgical method in advance.
Some people search online
for surgical methods and then come in
having already decided, "I’ll do the buried method."
But in an actual double eyelid surgery consultation,
there are many cases where another method
is more suitable based on the condition of the eyes.

It is good to know a bit about the types of surgery,
but it is much safer to come with an open mind,
discuss it during the consultation,
and then make your final decision.
Make a “OO list” in advance
The last thing to prepare is
to write down your double eyelid surgery consultation question list in advance.
In the actual consultation,
you often get nervous and cannot think of anything,
and only remember things later
after you leave.
Then it becomes awkward to call back and ask,
and in the end,
you end up going through the surgery
still having unanswered questions.
What many people especially want to know is
recovery time and when they can return to daily life.
"When can I go back to work?"
"When can I wear makeup?"
"What about glasses or contact lenses?"
These can vary depending on the surgical method,
so make sure to confirm them during the consultation.

People also worry a lot about side effects and revision surgery,
and it is better to ask about these points honestly.
"Could the line loosen at some point?"
"In what cases is revision surgery needed?"
A place that gives clear answers to these kinds of questions
is actually more trustworthy.
Rather than a place that only emphasizes the good points,
it is better to choose one that honestly explains
situations that may occur.
Today, I covered the three things you should
make sure to check when preparing questions
for a double eyelid surgery consultation.
Understanding your eye condition,
clarifying the image you want,
and organizing your questions.
If you prepare just these three things properly,
the quality of the consultation will definitely change.
Choosing the clinic is also important.
In the end, each doctor continues to create eyes
that they consider beautiful according to their own aesthetic standards.
So if you keep choosing before-and-after photos
that look beautiful to you,
you will naturally narrow it down to a few clinics
or doctors.
Choose where to have your consultation from there,
and check how well they analyze your eyes
and how detailed their explanations are.

Dr. Park Si-hyun of Obje Plastic Surgery
provides patient-centered, attentive care,
and performs detailed analysis of each person’s eyes,
and follows the principle of not recommending surgery that is not needed,
while precisely pointing out only what is necessary.
If you want your first surgery to be your last surgery,
everything depends on how well you prepare for the consultation.
Please keep this in mind and prepare well,
so you can undergo double eyelid surgery without regrets.
