Be careful what you asked for.  The cheapest person is usually not the best and you can also bet that the cheapest person will not standby there surgery.I have colleagues in Korea who are very busy as eyelid surgeons and they charge the same amount of money for the surgeries that I do.  Your better off finding a specialist closer to you because there are no guarantees and surgery and follow-ups and even possibly touchup surgeries are much easier taking care of when your doctor is close.  I will also say about Korea, it has become such a hot market for facial plastic surgery that many clinics of opened and advertise outside of Korea on Google, etc.  Often times these clinics are understaffed and lack skill and experience.  In years past the revisions that I performed from overseas were usually from China or Vietnam.  Now, I am seeing as many if not more surgeries requiring revisions from Korea.  She was your doctor carefully and on a separate note medial epicanthoplasty is not a surgery for everyone and usually results in some sort of visible scarring depending on how does performed.Chase Lay, MDAsian eyelid surgery specialistDouble board-certified facial plastic surgeon

Cost is certainly an important factor in choosing the right surgeon for you but there are many other factors you need to know to increase the chance of having a satisfactory outcome. These factors include but not limited to the doctor's qualifications, experience, aesthetic sense, understanding your desires and ability to explain to you what he can and can"t not do.

going to the cheapest guy in town is not always your best option. Epicanthoplasty is a procedure that requires finesse. You would benefit from an in person evaluation with a board certified surgeon with expertise in Asian blepharoplasty,
