The clinic Yellow Plastic Surgery, in Gangnam, works on the eyes almost to the exclusion of everything else: creating an upper-eyelid crease, opening the corners of the eye, correcting a lid that does not open fully, and reworking eyelid surgery done earlier. Revision cases are a substantial part of what Yellow Plastic Surgery does.
Creates or defines a crease in the upper eyelid so the eye looks larger and more open. The surgeon works either with buried sutures through small openings, which suits an upper lid with less skin and fat and heals faster, or with a full incision, which suits an upper lid carrying more skin or fat. Both are surgery; the choice is about which one the eyelid suits rather than about avoiding an operation.
Reworks a crease from an earlier operation — one that has faded, sits too high or too low, or ended up uneven between the two eyes. The surgeon works around scar tissue and whatever the previous surgery left behind, which makes it harder than a first operation, and the options narrow the more skin has already been removed.
Opens a corner of the eye to lengthen the eye opening — most often the inner corner, sometimes the outer or the lower edge — so the eye reads longer rather than only wider. The surgeon usually does it alongside crease surgery, because the crease and the corner together set the shape of the eye.
Tightens or shortens the muscle that lifts the upper eyelid, for an eye that does not open fully and reads sleepy or asymmetric. It is a different problem from the crease: a crease changes where the lid folds, ptosis correction changes how far the lid opens. Surgeons often address both in one operation.
Also offered at Yellow Plastic Surgery
Rhinoplasty: Reshapes the nose — the height of the bridge, the definition of the tip, the width of the nostrils, or a combination. Yellow Plastic Surgery offers it, but eyelid surgery is what nearly all of its patients come for.

• Reason for choosing this clinic:
I had eye surgery a few years ago, but the line was too low and drooped, so I considered a revision surgery.
• About the clinic:
The counseling manager was truly kind and honest about everything, which helped me decide to go through with the surgery.
• About the procedure:
As a man, I felt a high V-line would be a burden, but Yellow Plastic Surgery skillfully created a line suited to what men prefer, and I'm very satisfied now! I thought I should have come here from the start. At other hospitals the surgical marks weren't noticeable at all even after the procedure, and I felt I had wasted my money, but here there were no side effects, the line was clean, and the surgery was in no way unpleasant.
• Overall impression:
If an acquaintance were considering eye surgery, I would recommend this place.

• Concern before treatment:
I had eye surgery a few years ago, but the line was set too low at the time and it drooped, so I looked into a revision.
• Consultation experience:
The consultation manager was really kind and told me everything honestly, which is what made me decide to go through with the surgery.
• Procedure result:
Since I'm a guy, a high line feels like too much, but here at Yellow Plastic Surgery they made the line to fit the style men prefer, so I'm very satisfied right now!
If I'd known it would turn out like this, I should have just gotten it done here from the start. I felt like I wasted money getting it done at another hospital before, since it didn't even look like I'd had surgery, but here there were no side effects, the line looks nice, and there was nothing uncomfortable about the surgery at all.
• Additional thoughts:
If an acquaintance of mine were ever considering eye surgery, I think I'd recommend this place.

• Reason for choosing this clinic:
I have single eyelids with no hidden double eyelid, and in my 30s I started to feel my eyelids gradually drooping. The strength to open my eyelids weakened, so I ended up opening my eyes using the strength of my forehead, and this caused fatigue and forehead wrinkles, which were my concerns!
• About the clinic:
At Yellow Plastic Surgery, I was told that surgery recommended by other hospitals wasn't necessary, there was no pushing for additional surgery, and I liked the honest consultation the most.
• About the procedure:
It was a bit disappointing that the design wasn't decided before the surgery, but was decided on the operating table! Even so, the results seem to have turned out well just as discussed in the consultation, so I'm satisfied (lol). There was no pain at all, and although there was a little bit of bruising, despite the incision there was no swelling, and I was able to return to daily life right away!
• Overall impressions:
I had the surgery at Yellow, and although the difference in size between my left and right eyes was stressful, it has been corrected quite a bit. In particular, the fatigue when opening my eyes has decreased and it's very comfortable now!! The impression that used to look unclear has become clearer too, and I'm satisfied~! It's only been 2 months, so the incision line scar is still noticeable, but I think it will look more natural as time passes.

• Concern before treatment:
Since I have monolids with no hidden double eyelid, as I entered my 30s I noticed my eyelids gradually drooping. The strength to open my eyes weakened, so I ended up opening my eyes using forehead muscle strength, which left me with fatigue and forehead wrinkles as concerns.
• Consultation experience:
At Yellow Plastic Surgery, they told me that surgery other clinics had recommended wasn't necessary, and I liked most that they gave an honest consultation without pushing additional procedures.
• Procedure result:
It was a bit disappointing that the design wasn't done before surgery but was instead determined on the operating table. Still, I'm satisfied because the result seems to match what was discussed during the consultation. There was no pain at all, and although there was some bruising, there was no swelling even with the incision, so I was able to return to daily life right away.
• Additional thoughts:
After having surgery at Yellow, the asymmetry between my eyes that used to stress me out has been corrected quite a bit, and especially the fatigue when opening my eyes has decreased, which is such a relief. My previously tired-looking impression has also become clearer, which is satisfying. It's only been 2 months so the incision line scar is still noticeable, but I think it will look much more natural as time passes.

No Korean or Japanese characters remain — here's the translation.
• Concern before treatment:
I originally had completely monolid eyes, so my eyes looked stuffy/heavy even when open, and in photos my eyes always came out small and unclear — that was stressful.
I really wanted to get double eyelid surgery, but I didn't want a style that looked too obvious, so I searched a lot for a place that does natural-looking results well. After reading reviews, I ended up booking a consultation with Director Lee Dae-seong at Yellow Plastic Surgery.
• Consultation experience:
The consultation atmosphere was more comfortable than I expected, which I liked.
When I explained the look I wanted, the director examined my eye structure and explained in detail which line would suit me, and marked out the line several times.
Rather than just pushing for a flashy result, he talked about going in a direction that would look naturally more defined, which made me trust him.
The manager was also kind and didn't push too hard, so I was able to have the consultation comfortably.
• Procedure result:
The first few days were awkward because of the swelling, but as time passed I really came to like it.
When I had completely monolid eyes, they felt stuffy and looked sleepy, but now my eye shape is much more defined and refreshed-looking.
Since I also had the outer corner incision (canthoplasty) done together, my eyes themselves look bigger, which makes me even more satisfied.
It's exactly the naturally-prettier look I wanted.
• Additional comments:
The clinic was clean and close to Gangnam Station, so it was convenient to visit.
Before the surgery they kept me relaxed and not nervous, and they kept checking in on aftercare too, so overall I was satisfied.

• Reason for choosing this
I originally had completely monolid eyes, so even with my eyes open they looked heavy, and whenever I took photos my eyes always came out looking small and unclear, which was stressful.
I definitely wanted double eyelid surgery, but I disliked overly obvious styles, so I searched hard for a clinic that could do it naturally and skillfully. While reading reviews, I ended up consulting with Director Lee Dae-seong at Yellow Plastic Surgery!
• About the clinic
The consultation atmosphere was more relaxed than I expected, which was nice.
When I explained the look I wanted, the director examined the structure of my eyes and explained in detail which line would suit me, adjusting the line several times.
It didn't feel like they were pushing anything flashy — they talked in terms of a natural, clear-cut direction, so I felt I could trust them (lol).
The staff were kind too, and there was no excessive pushing for treatments, so I could consult with peace of mind!
• About the procedure
For the first few days there was some discomfort from the swelling, but as time passed I really came to like it a lot.
When my eyes were completely monolid, they had a sense of being narrow and looking sleepy, but now the eye area looks much clearer and refreshed!
Since I also had incisional surgery done at the same time, my eyes themselves look bigger, which makes me even more satisfied (lol).
It's exactly the natural, pretty result I was hoping for.
• Overall
The clinic was clean and close to Gangnam Station, so it was easy to get to.
Before the surgery they kept me relaxed so I wouldn't be nervous, and they kept checking on my aftercare throughout, so overall I was satisfied (lol).
