Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Girin DAS + Pitosis Correction + Lateral, Epi Canthoplasty Review
hi everyone! i underwent das + pitosis correction + lateral canthoplasty + epicanthoplasty at girin last year - here's my experience of researching, flying to korea and undergoing the consultations alongside surgery day + post op! hope this helps someone out!
I contacted Girin through whatsapp and they were very friendly and responsive through the whole process (Unfortunately there was an issue with my deposit, the staff was very patient and supportive with me though as it got sorted!) and flew to Korea in July 2024.
i flew to korea with my friend and we got picked up by Girins pick-up service - it was very easy to meet the driver and we headed into the city without any delay! I got consulted the next day in the clinic. there were two doctors who would be responsible for my surgery, and they were both very patient as they explained what the surgeries would do. I consulted with Dr Jeon and Dr Song - Dr Jeon was responsible for my epi + DAS / pitosis correction, and Dr Song would perform his well-known lateral canthoplasty technique. the consultations were very smooth and both doctors communicated what they would do very well! i was also asked to give a photo reference for the eye shape, and spent the rest of the day looking for something id like!
the next day, it was the day of surgery! i walked to girin from my hotel with my friend, who was there to watch the cctv of the procedure :) I remember changing into rhe surgery clothes and getting my before surgery photos taken, and then it was time for surgery~ i was a bit scared initially, but the staff there was very calming and soothed my nerves a lot, then i fell asleep under anesthesia. i was woken up halfway to check on the eyelid crease and a bit for lateral canthoplasty, but the whole process was very painless and felt very fast!
the first few days of healing it was quite hard to keep my eyes open - i drank 1-2 packs of pumpkin juice a day to clear up the swelling, and used the ice pack Girin had given me. i didn't do much, and slept a lot with the pillow propped up as this was supposed to reduce swelling as well! After day 4 my eyes had healed enough for me to start doing work again (from my hotel room of course) and go on devices normally!
After 10 days, I went back to Girin to get the stitches taken out. The whole process was quick and they also cleaned my eye corners! I flew out from Korea back home the same day as the stitches were taken out. My eyes had mostly de-swelled after this point, with some minimal bruising. My coworkers that knew about the procedure all said my eyes looked more awake :D
My eyes were completely de-swollen after a few weeks, and the corners stopped being red after around two months. It's now been 6 months and I'm very happy with my results ^^ (I totally forgot to post my review it's been a year and found this when clearing out my notes)
I want to get V-line done soon, would come back to Girin again ^^ Hope this helped someone!!!
I've attached my before + after alongside recovery progress pics below as well :)
