Dr. Dongil ChoiStitch removal is in 4-12 days, and return to daily life is after 3-7 days. Major swelling subsides in 2-4 weeks, and natural results settle in at 3-6 months.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, due to the possibility of asymmetry after surgery, early correction is sometimes used for rapid adjustment. The exact timing is determined through a 1:1 consultation.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe best time is 1-2 weeks post-op, and up to 3 weeks if actively pursued. However, if it has been over 1 month, we recommend waiting 6 months.

Dr. Dongil ChoiRecovery is fast and results are natural as it is performed before scars and adhesions settle. The surgical burden is also lighter as the tissue is soft.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is determined differently for each patient by diagnosing swelling and tissue stability. It is decided based on your recovery speed during a 1:1 consultation.

Dr. Dongil ChoiRather, resolving it before it stabilizes reduces the burden of scarring. This is because the tissue can be handled precisely while it is soft.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, double eyelid and ptosis correction results from other clinics are also eligible for early correction. However, we first diagnose the method used in the previous surgery and the condition of the tissue before determining the scope of correction, and the timing varies depending on how recovery has progressed since the first surgery.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe cost of early revision varies from person to person depending on the condition following the previous surgery, the scope of correction, and the anesthesia method. The exact amount is given at a 1:1 consultation where the condition of your eyes is examined.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is performed under sedation or local anesthesia, and pain during surgery is not significant. Swelling or a heavy sensation may occur during recovery, but these usually ease with time. The degree of pain varies from person to person.

Dr. Dongil ChoiSutures are removed after 4-12 days, and washing your face and light daily activities are usually possible after 3-7 days. Initial swelling subsides over 1-2 weeks, after which a natural shape gradually settles. Recovery speed varies from person to person.

Dr. Dongil ChoiEarly correction resolves the issue while the tissue is still soft, before scars and adhesions harden, whereas revision surgery after 6 months is performed once the scarring has stabilized. If more than 1 month has passed since surgery and the tissue has begun to firm up, we recommend correction after 6 months.

Dr. Dongil ChoiMosaic 3D applies US patented 3D CCT technology to three-dimensionally disperse energies of various depths and intensities in a single shot. Compared to the flat irradiation of general fractional lasers, stimulation is delivered more evenly to areas with uneven depths, such as scar tissue.

Dr. Dongil ChoiBoth procedures are HIFU-based, but Shurink is a subsequent technology that reduces pain and maximizes effects. The key difference is that Ultherapy® uses DeepSEE™ visualization ultrasound to perform the procedure while directly viewing the SMAS layer. For a detailed comparison, Ultherapy pageplease refer to.

Dr. Dongil ChoiXERF combines two frequencies, 6.78MHz and 2MHz, to target the dermis and subcutaneous fat layers simultaneously. While conventional RF targets only the shallow dermis, XERF reaches a depth of 5~10mm.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYou can directly verify the genuine product through MERZ headquarters. We issue certificates corresponding to the number of genuine tip lines, and the number of shots on the certificate exactly matches the number of procedure shots.
