Dr. Dongil ChoiIt may be necessary. If the result is judged as overcorrection immediately after surgery, adjusting it quickly is beneficial for the outcome. The exact timing is determined through a 1:1 consultation.

Dr. Dongil ChoiNo. Rather, the one-line incision, which forcibly excises skin, can be the last resort. Two-line incision can be performed multiple times.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe incisional method does not necessarily mean severe scarring. We effectively manage scars through precise suturing and techniques that minimize tissue damage.

Dr. Dongil ChoiGangnam Seoyeon completes a three-dimensional under-eye while preserving the aegyo-sal. We accurately identify the boundary between the aegyo-sal and fat through precise diagnosis.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the eye-opening strength is weak, you may look sleepy or develop forehead wrinkles. Ptosis correction is often necessary.

Dr. Dongil ChoiIt can be done alone. However, natural proportion improvement is better achieved when performed with double eyelid surgery or other canthoplasties.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThose with thin, elastic skin and minimal sagging or fat are the best candidates. If accompanied by sagging or thick skin, we recommend the incisional method instead.

Dr. Dongil ChoiStitch removal takes 4-12 days, major swelling subsides within 1-2 weeks, and returning to daily life is possible after 5-7 days. Natural results settle in at 3-6 months.

Dr. Dongil ChoiEpidermal damage is minimized, allowing for a quick return to daily life. Temporary erythema and micro-crusting may occur, and it stabilizes relatively quickly with proper moisturizing care.

Dr. Dongil ChoiDerma (1.5) / Eye (2.0) / Cell-up (3.0) / Line-up (4.5) cartridges are combined according to individual skin thickness and condition. Gangnam Seoyeon actively utilizes 3.0 and 4.5 cartridges for deep penetration.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe ICD Cooling system controls skin temperature in real time to reduce pain. Anesthesia is not mandatory but is available upon request.

Dr. Dongil ChoiThe key difference is that Ultherapy® is performed while directly viewing the SMAS layer with DeepSEE™. Shurink is a HIFU-based non-surgical lifting, and XERF is based on monopolar RF high-frequency.

Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, you can return to daily life immediately after the procedure. However, there may be temporary redness or fine nodules at the treatment site, which will subside within 1~2 days.
