blepharoplasty
I discovered Girin Plastic Surgery through Instagram and decided to go in for a consultation. I ended up getting lower and upper blepharoplasty, a forehead lift and reduction, as well as liposuction. My consultation experience with Ariya was excellent—she spent about 4–5 hours with me and was incredibly attentive and supportive throughout the process.

My goal was to enhance my overall appearance, and I felt confident moving forward with the procedures. The surgery itself went well, although it did take longer than expected, and I had to stay overnight. Fortunately, my recovery was smooth with minimal swelling and no complications.

The only downside was the follow-up. I went to the clinic on two separate occasions at scheduled times to have my stitches removed, but unfortunately, the doctor wasn’t available either time.

I found Girin Plastic Surgery Korea on Instagram and my friend also recommended it. I had upper and lower blepharoplasty and forehead lifting. The surgery went well. Did not have any pain and the place is very clean. The staff is very accommodating and helpful. Sara is very nice. The doctor explained very well. Will recommend it to everyone.

(^_^) Exceptional Experience at GIRIN, Top Korean Skin Clinic!

I had the pleasure of visiting this amazing skin clinic during my trip to Seoul, and I couldn’t be more impressed! As a first time Australian medical tourism traveller, I was initially nervous about getting injectables in a foreign country, but the entire experience exceeded my expectations.

To rejuvenate my skin, I opted for a combination of Juvelook skin boosters, for face and hands, Juvelook volume for mid cheek, lower body fat-dissolving injection's, Botox, skin Botox, exosomes and IV Glutathione. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure I felt comfortable. The clinic itself is spotless, modern, and very professional.

After a quick in-house CT scan, I consulted with a Girin surgeon about my condition for rhinoplasty and lower blepharoplasty. She was thorough, took her time to listen to my concerns, explaining each procedure in detail. What put me most at ease was her knowledgeable fast response and English fluency. I would be very happy under her care. Additionally, the female injecting doctor also helped keep me calm through the skin treatments, explaining each step. I didn’t feel rushed or unimportant.

What truly set this clinic apart is their competitive pricing. As someone who’s had aesthetic treatments in other countries, I can confidently say that the quality of service here is on par with the best, yet the prices were incredibly reasonable compared to similar treatments abroad.

blepharoplasty
I got my upper blepharoplasty and wanted to keep in natural look. I had been using forehead muscle to open my eyes so it was my biggest concern. During the f2f consultation, the doctor asked my what brought me to the clinic, so I addressed the issue and concerns. He pointed to where my fat and how many MM skin needed to be removed. I went to the surgery room and less then four hours later I can see the result!
I am happy with the result and I definitely recommend this clinic to my friends and family members.
Thank you!

blepharoplasty
I’m 53 and have had my blepharoplasty lower and upper done over 23 years ago. I’ve been meaning to get my upper eyelids revised as aging has resulting in a very squinty eye and tired look. I finally had a chance this June. After vetting three clinics, I settled on GIRIN to get my Upper Blepharoplasty done. The look I wanted to achieve would mean an incisional blepharoplasty given the excess skin causing ptosis, non-incisional would not be sufficient. I had also wanted a forehead fat graft to fill the hollows around my temples. Upon arrival at Girin, I met with Dr. Hun who not only spoke fluent English but had a very forthcoming and congenial bedside manner. We had a very frank discussion about how merely cutting the excess skin would not achieve the look I had wanted. She suggested I also get a brow lift as merely cutting skin would still not resolve my squint as more space need to be created between the brow and the eye. Dr. Hun explained the two methods in great detail the “under brow lift” and an “endotine brow lift” which was her recommended method for me.

I was given a little time to discuss the price changes and mull over the choices I was given. I was told that the fat graft would have to wait if I decided to do the endotine lift. I decided to trust her judgement and went with the upper blepharoplasty and the endotine brow lift as opposed to a sub-brow lift. My pre-operation meeting the next day went well, and Dr. Hun explained exactly what she would do in surgery as well as touched upon the side effects of tightness and forehead numbness I would experience for a good half a year. I mentioned that I had always wanted to correct an uneven lower right brow, and she took that into account and explained how she will try to address that by lifting a tiny bit more on my right side.

Though anxious, the pre-surgery procedures went smoothly. My consultant Sue was so kind to walk me all the way into surgery and held my hand till I couldn’t remember anymore. I met Dr. Hun on the 7th day post surgery, and she discussed the healing process and managed my expectations for my swelling. I bruise easily and was exceptionally bruised compared to many she’s seen, but she said it was not a cause for alarm as I was healing well.

It’s been a two weeks post surgery, and I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Hun’s work is amazing. Though my eyelids are still swollen, my brows are now even, my eyes look awake, and my forehead is smooth. I look fresh. The post-operative care was detailed, and the nurses were gentle when removing my stitches. I am not one for pain and I couldn’t even feel a thing when the eyelid and forehead stitches were removed.

I look forward to the one-month mark when the bruising is all gone and my eyelids look more natural and some tightness in the forehead will ease.
