Making the consultation specific to you
At Gangnam Seoyon, a consultation with Dr. Choi can be framed around the exact eye or nasal concern and any history of previous surgery. For revisional eyelid care, ask how scar tissue, remaining skin and eyelid function affect the plan. Request an explanation of which changes are realistic and whether waiting or staging treatment would be preferable.
