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.

My initial upload was cut off so I’m re-uploading next time I’m on my laptop.
Also, I talked to the doctor about epicanthoplasty revision/reversal, because I researched it being done in South Korea, and he said it was not possible and would lead to more pink show. I’m not sure if this is true or not as I know of multiple clinics like Eve and Machimpyo that does it.
Anyway, my epi looks more acceptable after this double eyelid surgery so I don’t think I will look further into it.

Double Eyelid Surgery Revision at 26
I had primary DES at 17 years old in South Korea. Eventually the folds became loose and small. I finally decided to get revision. I found out about Dr. Choi through a forum (PF) and heard good reviews and about his affordability. It was a quick process to schedule a video consultation. He told me I had a lot of fat on my upper eyelid. Our call was no longer than 15 minutes.
We rescheduled my surgery a few times because I needed my psychiatrist's consent because of my mental health medications (which did not interfere with surgery.)
On the day of surgery, the doctor was 20 minutes late. The receptionist went over aftercare during this time and I waited for doctor to arrive. When he arrived we discussed the size and style, and I showed him pictures of the eyes I liked. I wanted big, cat eye outfolds with the outer side being as high as possible for a fox/cateye look. We spent less than 15 minutes discussing his plans and him showing me on one eye (until I asked him to also show me on the other) what it would look like. I definitely felt like we could've spent a little more time here.
Then I went to change for surgery and was laid down and IV'd. Doctor began drawing on my eyes and I eventually fell asleep and woke up after the surgery was done. They put and ice pack on my eyes for a bit then I changed and waited in a wheelchair for quite a while for the doctor to check me out. I saw that my eyes were uneven and he said it was because of the swelling.
I was then wheeled out to my driver's car with my post-op bag.
I'm currently 3 days post-op and putting the prescription ointment on twice a day, drinking arnica tea 3x a day, and taking bromelain twice a day along with my usual daily supplements.
I hope my eyes even out as the swelling goes down, I'm trying not to be anxious about it since it's so soon.
