Eyelid Retraction Surgery
Does removing the ptosis correction threads resolve retraction?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is possible immediately after surgery, but after several months, it cannot be resolved by simple thread removal. It is a highly difficult technique requiring both levator recession and Müller's muscle separation.

Double Eyelid Lowering
One-line vs. Two-line, which is better?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThe answer depends on the patient's condition. If there is excess skin, one-line is suitable; if it is insufficient or you want to lower it significantly, two-line is appropriate. We recommend it after a precise diagnosis.

Incisional Double Eyelid Revision
When is revision surgery possible?
Dr. Dongil ChoiUsually, 6 months to 1 year must pass after the primary surgery. However, if the results are poor, early correction within 2-3 weeks may be possible, so the exact timing is determined through a 1:1 diagnosis.

Under Eye Surgery
Isn't it better to remove the fat?
Dr. Dongil ChoiSimple removal has a high possibility of hollowing out again or losing elasticity over time. Gangnam Seoyon believes that repositioning an appropriate amount of fat to create a three-dimensional under-eye is more natural and long-lasting.

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery
What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and double eyelid surgery?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt differs from general double eyelid surgery in that it removes sagging skin and fat while simultaneously creating a natural line. You can expect both secured vision and a youthful effect.

Men's Eye Surgery
Is it possible to do the surgery without it being noticeable?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf proceeding with a monolid or inner double fold design, the line itself is barely visible while creating a clear impression.

Canthoplasty
Which canthoplasty is right for me?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt depends on your eye shape, facial proportions, and the degree of epicanthal folds. We recommend the appropriate type and amount after a precise diagnosis. At our clinic, lateral and lower canthoplasty are deemed suitable in only about 30% of cases.

Non-Incisional Method
I heard the non-incisional method always comes undone?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIncorrect indications and insufficient knot design are the biggest causes of unravelling. Our clinic precisely diagnoses whether the eyes are suitable for the non-incisional method from the beginning and proceeds with a secure knot design to maintain the line stably.

Dynamic Fixation Incisional Double Eyelid (Ptosis Correction)
Who should get the incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is suitable for those with thick skin, excess fat/fascia, sagging, or those unsuitable for the non-incisional method. It is recommended when you want to create a precise line at once and maintain it for a long time.

How severe is the pain?
Dr. Dongil ChoiPain is reduced compared to existing lifting procedures, and the two-way procedure mode shortens the procedure time, lessening the burden. Numbing cream is applied before the procedure.

Skin Booster
How many sessions are needed to see effects?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt varies depending on the booster type, but generally, satisfaction is high after 3~4 sessions at 2~4 week intervals. As sessions accumulate, skin texture and elasticity gradually improve.

Rejuran Healer
How is it different from fillers or Botox?
Dr. Dongil ChoiWhile fillers add volume and Botox relaxes muscles, Rejuran is a procedure that regenerates the skin itself. Receiving them together can create a synergistic effect.
