Clinic information and questions to ask
On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to read every column.
| Clinic and published location | Published information | Points to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| BECOME Plastic Surgery 2F, Suite 201, IS Tower, 101 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea (Yeoksam-dong) Official location source | The revision page separates high, low, loose, multiple and unequal creases, scars and ptosis-related concerns. Read the official information | Photo comparison should match the specific revision problem rather than the general look. Ask: Which published case has the same problem category, and what important differences remain? |
| BRAUN Plastic Surgery 475 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea Official location source | The eye page describes incisional and non-incisional surgery and possible combined procedures. Read the official information | A photo should identify which method and combined steps were used. Ask: Which exact procedures were performed in the case shown? |
| ID Hospital 142, Dosan-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | The revision page lists asymmetrical, low, thick, loosened, scarred and multiple-fold cases. Read the official information | Use those categories to label images instead of treating all revision photos as equivalent. Ask: What examination finding distinguishes my crease problem from the pictured case? |
| VIEW Plastic Surgery 107, Bongeunsa-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | The revision page says the previous failure cause and current eye condition are assessed before method selection. Read the official information | Ask how the pictured case's cause and timing compare with your own history. Ask: What was the prior problem, procedure and follow-up interval for this image? |

A photo shows one selected case, not an outcome rate
Before-and-after images are chosen for publication, so they do not reveal how often a result occurs. They may also differ in lighting, head position, makeup, lens distance, expression and time after surgery. VIEW's revision page describes analyzing the previous failure and current eye condition. ID's revision page separates several crease problems. BECOME's revision page also lists distinct revision patterns. Those categories show why a visually similar image may still involve a different cause or procedure. Use the image to form a question, not to diagnose yourself.
Look for closed-eye and neutral-expression views when the concern involves crease symmetry, scarring or eyelid closure.
Reviews are reports with missing context
A review may describe communication, waiting time, pain, swelling or satisfaction, but readers rarely see the full medical record, consent discussion, editing history or later follow-up. A very positive or negative post can be genuine and still be a poor match for your decision. The NHS eyelid surgery page distinguishes upper and lower approaches and notes risks and recovery questions. The ASPS eyelid safety page lists dry eye, closure difficulty, scarring and vision changes. Review collections do not replace a discussion of those risks or your own eye symptoms.
Check whether the reviewer reports an early stage or a later result, since the timing can change what swelling and scars look like.
Check whether the photos are comparable
A small comparison grid makes differences easier to see.
Example photo record
- Procedure and whether it was primary or revision
- Starting concern described by the clinic
- Front, side and closed-eye views available
- Same lighting, expression and camera distance
- Follow-up interval stated
- Makeup, contacts or digital editing disclosed
- Consent statement visible
- Questions raised for your consultation
Mark "unknown" rather than guessing. Do not copy patient images into public posts or send them to another clinic without checking rights and privacy. A screenshot can lose the original caption and date, so save the source URL.
Ask for cases that match the clinical question
If you are considering revision, ask how the clinic separates scar tissue, crease height, looseness, asymmetry and eyelid-opening issues. BRAUN's eye surgery page describes incisional and non-incisional methods and possible combined procedures, but that does not tell you which published image matches your case. Ask the clinician to explain why a shown case is relevant and what differs. Also ask what is not visible in a photograph, such as dry-eye symptoms, closure strength, scar texture or previous operative details. Use the explanation to assess whether the example is relevant to your consultation.
If a clinic cannot disclose case details for privacy reasons, ask for a general explanation of selection criteria and photographic standards instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can before-and-after photos predict my result?
No. They show selected cases and may differ in anatomy, procedure, timing, lighting and presentation.
Are online reviews useless?
No. They can suggest questions about communication and process, but they are not clinical records or outcome rates.
What photo details should I request?
Ask for the procedure, starting concern, follow-up interval, consistent views and any editing or makeup information.
