Hi doctor,

I'm planning to visit Korea in July for the following surgical procedures and have some questions to consult you. I'm 26 years old this year, Asian, female.

1. Upper blehroplasty (upper eyelid fat excision)
I've natural double eyelids, but my upper eyelids are puffy and have excess fats. I would like to remove the excess fats.
a) How much do you charge for this procedure?
b) Do I have to undergo double eyelid surgery? Or is it recommended to combine this procedure with double eyelid surgery to achieve better results? I'm satisfied with my natural creases.
c) How long is the recovery time?
d) Are there any risks to this procedure? E.g. asymmetric/hollow eyes?
e) Will there be any scars? If yes, how long will it take to disappear?

2. Chin augmentation
I've minor mouth protrusion and I've read that chin augmentation can correct this problem.
a) How much do you charge for this procedure?
b) Do you have any before/after pictures or stories of patients who underwent chin implants to correct mouth protrusion?
c) What is the material that you use for the implant? What is the recommended material?
d) How long is the recovery time? How long do I have to wear the head band? How long should I wait before I can eat solid food?
e) Will there be any scars? If yes, how long will it take to disappear?

3. Corner lip lift
I've hereditary droopy lips that appear sad when my mouth is relaxed. Because of this, I also do not have a nice smile.
a) Does corner lip lift help to correct this problem? IF not, what is the procedure that you recommend to correct droopy lips?
b) How much do you charge for the procedure?
c) How do you carry out the procedure?
d) How long is the recovery time?
e) Will there be any scars? If yes, how long will it take to disappear?

Thanks!

    a) Upper eyelid surgery: 2,000,000-2,500,000 KRW. (1US$=1,100 KRW)
    b) A simultaneous double eyelid surgery is inevitable but you can do it near your current crease
    c) The stitches can be removed within a week after the surgery and
    most of the swelling and bruising will be reduced within 2 weeks.
    d) All plastic surgeries have risks for that and it is the same with any other surgery.
    e) You're crease will be the scar.
