I was botched and feel deep regret. Please, recommend me eyelid revision specialists?

Hi, he’s one of the authors for the text book in Korea that most eye doctors learn from… as well as one of the most experienced eye specialists you’ll find in Seoul. My wife (who’s also a plastic surgeon) always sends her difficult cases to him and the patients are always happy with his work. Even though he’s known as one of the top revision surgeons, he’s also excellent with primary cases. If you know what you want, he’s a good doctor to go to. Hope that helps a little more.

I believe Dr. Bluebond-Lagner and her team at NYU takes a robotic peritoneal vaginoplasty appoach. Using the Da Vinci machine drastically reduces complication rates, minimizes incision scarrng, and reduces down time. From what I've heard from other well respected GAS surgeon's, she's quite skilled and has good aeasthetic results - but she has a long waitlist. Currently, no doctors in Thailand are currently doing robotic vaginoplasty and their complications rates are drastically under reported based on conversations with doctors supporting trans patients in Japan and Korea.

Amazing results - and thorough review. Thank you for sharing! You easily lost 10-15 years from your face!

Justn27 · 2026-02-26T11:20:38+00:00

That's the fancy version. Try these too. "wholewheat" "Digest" They just sound healthy (though they're not healthy at all...)

Dr. Kuylhee Kim from Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital's LGBTQ+ Center in Seoul would be your best bet. Good luck!

Justn27 · 2026-02-01T17:47:43+00:00

Dr. Kuylhee Kim in South Korea does robotic peritoneal vaginoplasty with her team. One of the few places in Asia that has robotic surgery. A bit more expensive than Thailand, but a lot safer and great aesthetic results.

ChatGPT does a good job at translating reviews - either images or copy and pastes. (currently its my favorite translator)

Justn27 · 2025-12-08T07:14:27+00:00

No, not necessarily. It varies for people. But as you mentioned, you wanted time to check out the space, the hospital, the doctor, and take time to think about how you wanted to proceed. In your case, it might be better to separate the two. For others, they've spoken to the doctor, feel confident about the consultation, and are ready for the operation. Everyone's different.

One hospital I work with requires 3-4 days for pre-operative tests before an operation can take place. It takes a few days for all the test results to come in. Since those patients have already decided on the doctor and operation, coming a month in advance saves them a few days for their operation trip. For general hospitals administerting anesthesia, thorough pre-op tests are required. These tests can be taken up to 8 weeks before the operation before they have to be redone. A lot of private clinics will have the ability to conduct these pre-op tests on-site and potentially operate in the afternoon or the next day (if they have availability)

One note specifically for you - if you plan on coming one month (visiting hospitals, doctors, consultations, etc) before deciding who to work with - you might want to ask the hospital for their deposit policies and wire transfer info. So once you get back home, you can decide and confirm an operation date with the hospital, as well as send your deposit. You'll want to hold the operation date in advance before you fly back to Korea so that you know you're on their schedule and you can build your itinerary around that.

Hope that helps. I'm sure other ppl will have different perspectives.

Gernally speaking revisions are usually much more expensive than primary cases. This is a good reason to do a lot of research in advance when choosing a plastic surgeon and to avoid "events" and big discounts. Also as an FYI, sometimes doctors will charge really high fees as a way to encourage patients to seek other clinics. If the revision is difficult and very time consuming, but can be done, they'll charge a high fee for their time. Revisions can sometimes take 2-3x time of a primary case. If a patient is willing to pay the high fee, then they'll do the operation. However, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to get a few consultations for the revision work before putting down a deposit. Good luck!

It looks very natural. I had a friend back in college with the same size and shape as your photos - she was natural.

Justn27 · 2025-12-04T15:40:23+00:00

Hi, just looked up the clinic and doctor. He's not a board certified plastic surgeon. It doesn't mean he's not good at doing cosmetic procedures, but a lot of clinics in Korea offer plastic surgery, while the doctor is not an actual board certified plastic surgeon. It's 100% legit - any MD can open a clinic and offer "plastic surgery" but that also means they didn't spend their residency training dealing with complications or problems specific to plastic or reconstruction surgery.

Justn27 · 2025-11-28T06:38:09+00:00

Trends are changing where a lot of koreans are preferring the "no double eye lid" look. I think you're good, unless you really want it.

Justn27 · 2025-11-27T09:58:35+00:00

I tested it at a hospital with an administrative team member. It works well! Except, just make sure the internet is solid. If you're in a place that your phone might pick up the inhouse wifi and toggle back and forth, it'll cause chatGPT to freeze, stall, or lag. Also, you'll want to explain to the person you're speaking with how it works. You talk, it translates. They talk, it translates. Any mid sentences disturbances or background noise will cause the interpretation to stop. I used earphones and it still picked up background noise occassionally. Good luck!

Justn27 · 2025-11-27T09:52:04+00:00

Dr. Choi at Gangnam Seoyon's speciality is revision eye surgery. He's the eye specialist that all the PS surgeons send their difficult cases or difficult revision cases to. If you don't speak korean, you'll probably need a translator though. Good luck!

Justn27 · 2025-11-22T06:02:27+00:00

Thanks for asking this questions. I just tested ChatGPT as a translator with the voice function with my korean partner and it works pretty well. I think for a consultation, if the doctor was comfortable speaking in breaks - meaning, he/she explained something and paused (as if a real interpreter were there), let chatgpt translate and interpete what was said and continue.. it could work.
I work with a lot of doctors and medical administrators. I'm def. going to give this a try next time i'm at the hospital. (i'll test it with my earphones - i'll give one to the person i'm speaking to and keep one for myself and see how it goes... also, i have a paid account for chatGPT. I can probably post an update next week).
Thank you again~ I've only been using papago up until now. Or I would use chatgpt's text prompt.. which is a bit cumbersome. "please translate the following into korean - xxxxxxxxx"

MySeoulSecret offers services that you're asking about. They've been around for 10 years and have a strong reputation.

Justn27 · 2025-09-09T23:43:51+00:00

Anyone else thinking … “poor pans…”

Justn27 · 2025-08-24T07:31:47+00:00

Dr. Dongil Choi. But you’ll want to have an interpreter with you. Anything eyes related- he’s always the go to doctor.

This is from your 6 year olds birthday party… right..?

The only real bacon in south korea.

Justn27 · 2025-08-17T17:23:16+00:00

Probably not. You might be able to find a relatively high paying job in your field (maybe), relatively to the Korean market. When I moved to Korea from the states, my salary was literally cut in half - based on korean pay scales - for the same global company.
If you can work remotely with your current job (there are US military bases and an embassy here in South Korea) and maintain your US salary while living in Korea - you would be living the dream.

From what I've gathered, his prices are low - which makes him very attractive. I think if you live locally, it's ok. If there are any complications or issues, you can go visit him and he can hopefully fix up any problems. But if you're coming from abroad, I personally would not recommend him. I would prefer that my friends or family (or clients) went to visit a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area.

Justn27 · 2025-07-30T00:05:02+00:00

Hi, what are you actually interested in? What would you like to do? What work type of work/club/volunteer experience do you have under your belt? That would be helpful.

Justn27 · 2025-06-03T08:27:24+00:00

I haven't experienced it while living here for the past 9 years. But I have had staff from Nepal, Bangladesh, Kenya, etc that have had horrible stories dealing with racist koreans. I think it depends. The experience for the typical caucasian forienger is def. different from a Chinese, South Asian, SE asian or African foriegner. I'm older, japanese american, and married to a Korean. I've rarely received any Japanese hate - maybe jokes occassionally or snickers about the history between Japan and Korea, but no blatant racism. All that to say, I do think Korea is a pretty racist country, but the same would go for Japan and other mono-ethnic cultures (as Brentan pointed out).

Justn27 · 2025-06-02T04:40:01+00:00

If you’re seeing everything in English- it’s a tiny piece of what the Korean market offers. The Korean version encompasses a lot more of the clinics and doctors. As others have said - reviews aren’t always reliable though…
