Essential Tips for Your Eye Surgery Consultation!

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Many people visit multiple clinics for consultations before undergoing plastic surgery.

However, many are unsure of what to ask or what specific points to check when they arrive at the clinic.

Today, VIBE will guide you through the essential points you should know when attending an eye surgery consultation!

Consulting with the Surgeon

What should you keep in mind here?

It is best to clearly communicate your desired eye shape, style, and preferred surgical direction.

Additionally, it is crucial to undergo a process with a board-certified plastic surgeon to find the most ideal method that suits your specific anatomical conditions.

In the case of revision surgery,

since a previous eye surgery has already failed, you must identify exactly what aspects were unsatisfactory and confirm whether they can be improved in the direction you desire.

Essential Questions Before Eye Surgery Consultation?

01. Consultation on the surgical method right for your eyes

Since there are many surgical methods for eye surgery, such as full incision, partial incision, and non-incision (buried suture), you should find out which method is most suitable for you and whether there are any design limitations based on your eye structure.

02. Bring photos of your desired eye shape

If you find and bring photos similar to the eye shape you want, the consultation can proceed much more smoothly.

However, you must understand in advance that depending on the condition and structure of your own eyes, achieving the exact look in the photo may not always be possible.

03. Inquire about the recovery period

This is one of the most important parts.

You must confirm during the consultation whether recovery is possible within your available time off and when you can return to your daily routine.

Q: I am leaving for abroad in two weeks. Is it okay to have surgery now? Q: I only have 4 days of vacation. When can I resume daily activities after surgery?

If you communicate these situations in advance, the surgeon can assess the situation and accommodate your schedule where possible, so it is best to let them know early.

04. Verify if the doctor is a board-certified plastic surgeon

A specialist will have ‘Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon’ listed in their profile, so be sure to verify this information.

05. Arrive with a bare face or very light eye makeup

If you wear heavy eye makeup, it is difficult to properly examine your eyes during the consultation. Therefore, it is recommended to come with a bare face or only very light makeup.
