Checklist for Visiting a Plastic Surgery Consultation : Eyes, Nose, Thread Lifting, and Liposuction
Hello, this is Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery.
A plastic surgery consultation is the stage where we draw the “blueprint of your face.” In particular, for major procedures such as eyes, nose, thread lifting, and liposuction, there are many factors to check, including the doctor’s skill, design sense, equipment, and aftercare.
Before your consultation, please prepare the following five basic items.
📸 Current facial photos (front, side, and 45-degree angles)
🧾 Previous procedure/surgery history (when, at which clinic/hospital, and what surgery you had)
💊 Current medications and medical conditions (skin diseases, thyroid issues, blood pressure, etc.)
📅 Desired procedure timing and available recovery schedule
💰 Budget range and a list of 2–3 clinics/hospitals to compare
Preparing just these five items can make your consultation much more productive.
Now, let’s take a detailed look at the must-check lists for consultations on eyes, nose, thread lifting, and liposuction.
Eye Surgery Consultation Checklist
For eye surgery (double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, canthoplasty, revision surgery), the outcome can vary greatly depending on the depth of the consultation. The key points to confirm during an eye consultation are as follows.
| Eyelid line design | Check that you are offered a line suited to your own eye structure and face shape |
| Muscle condition assessment | Evaluation of ptosis and eye-opening strength (to decide whether a simple incision is enough or corrective surgery is needed) |
| Fat or skin thickness assessment | For thick eyelids, check whether fat removal should be done at the same time |
| Anesthesia and recovery period | Local or sedation anesthesia, how long swelling lasts and when you can return to daily life |
| Aftercare system | Whether cold compresses, stitch removal and aftercare are included |
Nose Surgery Consultation Checklist
The nose is the central axis of the face. Even subtle differences in height, angle, and materials can completely change your impression. The points you must confirm during a rhinoplasty consultation are as follows.
| Septum condition | Check for nasal congestion or a deviated septum (and whether a CT scan is available) |
| Type of material | Compare the safety and longevity of silicone, Gore-Tex, autologous cartilage, donated rib cartilage and other materials |
| Nasal tip angle and length | Whether the design is natural for your philtrum length and chin proportions |
| Balanced front and side design | Check that the nasal tip line looks natural in photos |
| Managing inflammation and foreign-body sensation | Ask about the chance of revision surgery, foreign-body reactions and the aftercare system |
Thread Lifting Consultation Checklist
Thread lifting may look simple, but the insertion layer and lifting direction determine the result. Be sure to check the following items during your consultation.
| Depth of the insertion layer | Dermis vs. SMAS layer (the lifting effect differs) |
| Lifting direction and number of threads | Whether the design follows the direction and degree of your own sagging |
| Pain, bruising and swelling period | Recovery period after the procedure and the time it takes to return to daily life |
| Aftercare program | Recommended intervals for maintaining the lift or repeating the procedure, and whether lasers can be combined |
*For thread lifting, long-term maintenance after 6 months is more important than immediate tightening. Choose a clinic that considers tissue adhesion and recovery, rather than one that emphasizes only instant results.
Liposuction Consultation Checklist
Liposuction is not simply “surgery to remove fat.” Body balance, skin elasticity, and recovery care are the key points.
| Liposuction areas and extent | Whether the fat layer thickness is measured for each area, such as the thighs, abdomen, arms and cheeks |
| Balanced design | Whether correction of left-right asymmetry and volume imbalance is included |
| Anesthesia and minimizing bleeding | Check the anesthesia method and whether methods to minimize bleeding are used |
| Aftercare | Swelling care and whether a lifting laser program is available |
*During a liposuction consultation, it is far more important to discuss “how to shape the silhouette and lines after the fat is removed” than simply saying “please remove this many cc.”
