I want SMILE surgery and cosmetic procedures too!! What should I do?

I want SMILE surgery and cosmetic procedures too.

Surprisingly, many people have this concern.

Many wonder if they can have vision correction surgery, like LASIK or SMILE, along with double eyelid surgery or other eye-related cosmetic procedures.

They also ask when it's safe to get eyelash perms or extensions,

and when they can resume skin care treatments.

There are indeed many such questions.

Cosmetic procedures after SMILE surgery! When is it possible?

For those curious, I've gathered only the most frequently asked questions!

I'll simply tell you what's ‘OK’ and what's ‘absolutely NO’ after surgery.

✨ Should I cancel cosmetic procedures before LASIK, LASEK, or SMILE surgery?

Many of you have wondered if you can receive cosmetic procedures before SMILE surgery, right?

What's important to check at this time?

First, check whether the procedure is around the eyes or not!!

Not all procedures are prohibited, but

it's generally better and safer to have procedures around the eyes

after the recovery period.

Therefore, it's important to time them correctly.

Especially since many people wonder which surgery or procedure to have first,

it's a good idea to discuss your plans for both the cosmetic procedure you want

and your vision correction surgery with your medical team

to adjust the timing.

It's also good to remember that if you're undergoing an intensive procedure around the eyes,

it's better to proceed after your eyes have fully recovered.

✨ So, what if the surgery or procedure you want is not around the eyes?!

Simple procedures are often ‘OK’.

However, if there is irritation or pain,

please wait a bit for recovery before proceeding.

It's also a good idea to inform the place where you're receiving the procedure that you've had ‘SMILE surgery’

in advance to receive more careful management.

Even if a procedure usually doesn't cause much irritation or pain,

you might feel more uncomfortable than usual if you try to do it right after surgery.

Therefore, telling the place where you're receiving the procedure when and what kind of

surgery or procedure you've recently had is

one way to receive safe and satisfying care.

✨ What about eye-area procedures and plastic surgery? If you're considering both vision correction and plastic surgery during vacation, a long holiday, before military enlistment, or during job preparation?!

It varies depending on the case, but if it's an eye-area procedure or plastic surgery,

it's generally recommended to proceed after the recovery period

to achieve high satisfaction with the results for both.

If a procedure or plastic surgery is absolutely necessary,

it's best to have a thorough consultation with your medical team first

to adjust the timing of your treatment.

In fact, at Gangnam Smile Eye Clinic, many people undergo vision correction surgery

and then eye plastic surgery, such as upper blepharoplasty,

before military enlistment or other important events.

In such cases, we sufficiently consider the interval required for the next surgery

and check the recovery process of the surgery you've received,

allowing for safe care. This is also a good point to keep in mind.

Many people also wonder, ‘I don't know how far I can go with petit procedures or cosmetic procedures ㅠㅠ!’

Botox, lip fillers, etc.

Many people seem to be curious about these.

This can vary depending on the location where each procedure is performed,

so if you have plans for such a procedure,

it's always good to check with the hospital.

These days, many people get eyelash perms and extensions,

so some might be wondering if it's okay to get eyelash extensions after vision correction,

or if they should do it before.

👍 Eyelash extensions, a question many people ask!!

Quite a few people actually undergo surgery

while they have eyelash extensions.

Eyelash extensions also need time to settle beautifully,

and the glue used to attach the lashes

is not beneficial for the cornea.

Therefore, it's better to avoid it on the day of surgery or immediately after surgery

if possible~!

Various procedures are chosen with the desire to be beautiful.

For even more beautiful and healthy results,

it's best to consult sufficiently before and after vision correction surgery.
