FAQ

Q.What are common signs that indicate I may benefit from eye rejuvenation treatment?
A. Common signs include drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, dark circles, or fine lines around the eyes that may create a tired appearance. These changes may occur due to aging, genetics, or reduced skin elasticity. A consultation with a qualified specialist such as Dr. Chung Eui Sang can help evaluate the condition of the eyelids and surrounding skin and determine whether surgical or non-surgical eye rejuvenation treatments may be appropriate.
Q.How long does recovery usually take after eye aesthetic procedures?

A. Recovery time varies depending on the type of treatment performed. Non-surgical treatments often involve minimal downtime, while surgical procedures such as eyelid surgery may require a short recovery period with temporary swelling or bruising. Most patients gradually return to normal daily activities as healing progresses.

Q.Why do some patients consider consultation at SNU Eye Clinic before eye treatments?
A. Some patients choose to visit SNU Eye Clinic for a comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation when they have existing eye conditions or concerns related to vision. A professional eye examination can help assess overall eye health before undergoing aesthetic procedures around the eyes.
