Hey there, I’m Eun Kyung, a graphic designer from Portland. For years, I’ve felt a quiet insecurity about my body, specifically my breasts. I have micromastia, meaning they never fully developed. It wasn’t a huge medical crisis, but it certainly impacted my self-confidence and how I felt in my own skin. Clothes never quite fit right, and I always felt a little… incomplete. I'd looked into breast augmentation here in the US, but the costs were astronomical, easily double what I could afford. Plus, the thought of long wait times and a somewhat impersonal experience really put me off. I wanted something more personal, more caring. That's when I started exploring medical tourism. South Korea kept popping up in my research – their reputation for natural results and excellent patient care was truly impressive. But the sheer amount of information was overwhelming. Then I found PlacidWay. They were a game-changer. I filled out their form, and soon after, Sarah, a wonderful representative, called me. "Sarah listened to my concerns with such empathy. She truly understood what I was looking for, not just medically, but emotionally too." She walked me through everything, from potential clinics to estimated costs. She suggested VG Plastic Surgery in Seoul, and the price she quoted – around $7,500 – made it feel truly achievable. My trip to Seoul was made so much easier by PlacidWay. They arranged everything, including my pick-up from the airport. The moment I walked into VG Plastic Surgery, I felt at ease. The clinic was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly professional. My PlacidWay-arranged interpreter was invaluable, making sure every conversation with Dr. Im Young Min was clear. Dr. Im Young Min was fantastic. He took his time explaining the procedure, showing me 3D simulations of the results. It was amazing to see my dreams come to life on screen. "Dr. Im Young Min wasn't just a surgeon; he was an artist. He made me feel confident that he could achieve the natural, balanced look I craved." The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was comfortable, thanks to the attentive nurses at VG Plastic Surgery. I spent about two weeks healing in Seoul, slowly exploring the vibrant city as I recovered. It was a peaceful and transformative time. Coming home, I felt like a new person. My body finally felt balanced and complete. The results were incredibly natural, exactly what I hoped for. I now have a newfound confidence that I carry with me every day. "PlacidWay truly made this journey possible. They were my guide and my support system, connecting me with top-tier care at an affordable price. I can't thank them enough." If you're considering medical tourism, especially for something as personal as breast implants, I highly recommend PlacidWay. They made a complex process feel simple, safe, and entirely supported. It was a life-changing experience.

Hi, I’m Marcus. For years, the bags under my eyes made me look constantly tired, impacting my confidence. US options for lower eyelid blepharoplasty were too expensive and had long waits, so I explored medical tourism. I found PlacidWay, and they were a game-changer. My representative, Sarah, patiently guided me, recommending VG Plastic Surgery in Seoul. Their focus on natural results and the estimated cost of $3,500-$4,500 sealed the deal. PlacidWay handled all my travel logistics to Seoul. The clinic was professional, and the surgeon explained the lower blepharoplasty procedure thoroughly. The surgery was quick, and recovery was smooth, allowing me to explore Seoul while healing.

Hi, I'm Faye. As a graphic designer, I create visual stories, but my own felt incomplete due to nasal asymmetry and breathing issues. When diagnosed with a deviated septum, rhinoplasty seemed like the answer, but the cost and wait times in the US were too high. I looked into medical tourism, particularly plastic surgery in South Korea, known for its natural results. The process of finding a reputable clinic abroad felt overwhelming until I found PlacidWay. Sarah, a representative, called me quickly, eased my fears, and answered all my questions. "Sarah at PlacidWay was a godsend. She made the entire process feel so manageable, breaking it down step by step. I went from feeling completely overwhelmed to genuinely excited about the possibilities." She helped me choose Hugo Plastic Surgery in Seoul, which focused on natural results. The cost, around $7,000, was much less than in the US. PlacidWay arranged my travel and accommodation, and a representative met me in Seoul, calming my nerves. At Hugo Plastic Surgery, the staff was professional, and the surgeon was meticulous. PlacidWay provided an interpreter, making me feel comfortable. My recovery was smooth, and the care was exceptional. "The post-op care in Seoul was exceptional. The nurses at Hugo Plastic Surgery were so attentive, and having PlacidWay there to help with language and logistics truly made my recovery smooth and stress-free." Once the splint was off, I could see the amazing improvement. My breathing was better, and my nose looked natural, perfectly suiting my face. After exploring Seoul, I returned home a new person, healthier and more confident. PlacidWay transformed my journey. They made medical treatment abroad seamless and stress-free.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to travel to Korea soon for a facelift or anti-aging facial surgery, and I’m currently choosing between Grand Plastic Surgery, Synergy Plastic Surgery, and Gangnam Group Plastic Surgery. I’ve read mixed reviews online, and I want to make sure I choose a safe and reputable clinic. If anyone has personal experience (good or bad) with these clinics especially with facelift, jawline, or mid-face lift — I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.

Has anyone heard of facial optimization and are there any clinics that you have experience with that take this approach? There was a plastic surgeon (non-Korean)speaking on analyzing the whole face with an artistic eye and then considering based on the persons anatomy what procedures could maximize facial attractiveness. There are a few procedures im looking to do based on areas I wish were improved (eye bags, slimmer jaw and chin) but unsure if done together would have the optimal result. For example, a person wanted a rhinoplasty to improve their profile appearance, but the doctor showed that facial attractiveness would be best improved by bringing the chin forward due to a recessed chin making the nose look too prominent. When the chin was brought forward the result was so good.

I had a lower blephroplasty done at LaPrin back in 2016. They did not have an eye speciality but at the time I had it done there wasn't as much information available as there is now. The experience itself with the clinic was good, they were professional and my translator was so kind. I was there alone and she supported me the whole time even rode the taxi back to my hotel after the procedure. 1 week post-op the doctor could already tell I would need a touch up and said I could come back after it fully healed. The touch up would be fully covered other than anesthesia fee. However, I just didn't have the time to travel back for this. I'm looking to do a revision this year and my shortlist is Luho so far, but I am here doing more research and looking for suggestions.

Hello, I have been to Korea twice. I'm a female in my late 30s and have been to Korea twice and plan on going again. I had a lower transconjunctival blephoroplasty in Seoul in 2016. Looking to go again this year for revision fat grafting of lower eye along with fat grafting in the upper eye. Also considering chin reduction and jaw slimming procedures.

Hello This is probably an unusual request for this forum. I have been forced to leave Russia for 3 years now, but I still have not managed to learn English well, and I am ashamed of it I doubt I will be able to understand medical terms. I have not found a person who is not connected with clinics. I had to refuse surgery last year because of this, but now I still need it. So I am asking here, maybe there are options.

Hello. Please add me to the chat about rhinoplasty in Korea. My id: crypto.genesis

What have you short listed or looked into so far?

Wondering if you had any success in your research. I’m also looking in lower bleph in Seoul this year.

Hi there, I’m a female in my 40s heading to Seoul in September for lower eyelid transconjunctival surgery. Actually, some online consultations have suggested full lower bleph, but I'm only interested in the transconjunctival approach. I have two top choices and only want one more, but it's too much information and overwhelming. So far, online chats with: Wink(Dr. Seunghyup Choi) Link (Dr.Jung) Luho(Dr. Park) Roi (Dr. Young) Etonne (Dr. Cho) Note: Didn’t talk to the doctors. Just texts with consultants, but these are the doctors I'm paired with if interested in F2F consultations. Prices range from 2,6 to 5,5 mil KRW (don't want to get specific because different quotes for different recommendations). Wondering if anyone has experience with any of these clinics or doctors, even if not for this specific surgery. Much appreciated.

Hi there, I’ve just dived headfirst into this world of Korean plastic surgery. I’m a female in my 40s heading to Seoul in September and straight to Gangnam for consultations for lower eyelid transconjunctival surgery.

Please add me as well—ID: m00sh. I'm planning on visiting Korea this year for revision rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Thank you!

Hi, I am planning on visiting Korea at the end of the year for a revision rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Would love to connect with more folks, please add me on Kakao (ID: m00sh). Thanks!

thanks for sharing all this, seriously super helpful esp for those of us considering a combo like lip lift + tip plasty. i’ve heard a few ppl mention that doing the lip lift alone can mess w/ the nose tip aesthetics so it makes sense your doc recommended both. sounds like your surgeon was being really cautious about proportions which is honestly a green flag i remember reading it took them like 2-3 months before they could smile naturally again after their lip lift, and even then it was gradual. the tightness sounds super normal tho especially only one month post-op, you’re still really early curious to hear how your nose settles too! “cindy lou" pretty soon you'll be like "cindy who?" it usually drops by 1-3 months right, and gradually settles around 6. i wouldn’t stress too much yet appreciate the update, keep us posted if you feel like it!

Hi there! The incision line on my nose is healing really nicely, it is barely visible! As for my corner lift incision, it’s noticeable if you’re focusing on it and that may be my fault for not diligently putting scar gel on my lip incision compared to my nose incision. For the scars, I have been using a silicone gel that the doctor recommended and he also recommended steroid injections once a month for three months! If I remembered correctly, the reason for the tip plasty was because if I did the lip lift alone it could alter the nose tip. And Instead of the philtrum being too short, I think the results look pretty similar to the original but a bit more enhanced! So if you’re looking for a more drastic result, I don’t think it would be worth it. It has also been about a month since I got it done! I’m still experiencing some tightness and the swelling. There’s still swelling around the nose, mouth, and lip corners, but the stiffness and swelling has definitely improved! Still difficult to smile, but it may be because I don’t try to move my mouth >.< As for my nose, it’s still a bit pointy and giving elf/cindy lou who according to my sister, so I’m hoping it drops more!

i’ve been looking into LASIK for a while now and wanted to find out where actual Koreans go, not just the usual gangnam clinics that are all over the ads for foreigners. started digging around on naver (with a lot of help from papago lol) and noticed that a lot of locals seem to go to bigger hospital-level eye centers outside of the gangnam area 서울신세계안과 (Shinsegae Eye Clinic) near miasageori station kept coming up, seems like they get a ton of local patients and have a decent rep for LASIK/LASEK and even ICL stuff. i reached out on kakao and they actually connected me to someone who spoke english, which was a nice surprise has anyone here gotten LASIK or LASEK done there recently? how was the screening process, tech they use, overall experience, pricing, and if they try to upsell or not? just trying to get a better sense of what to expect before i book a consult. https://www.ssgeye.com/

thanks for sharing!! i’ve been lowkey curious about Retmus for lip lift too so this was super helpful. sounds like you had a smooth surgery + recovery (minus the expected stiffness) how’s the scar looking now? are you doing anything specific for scar care like silicone gel or laser later on? also did dr the give any feedback about how the corner lift + lip lift would balance with the tip plasty? i’ve seen a few people on here mention they were worried about the philtrum looking too short post-op if they did both, so just wondering how he approached that with you?

Has anyone else gone down the rabbit hole of Asian beauty clinics? What tripped you up? Hi, I'm Korean and I was wondering if I could help people book their beauty trips to Korea. I know how confusing it could be to navigate in a foreign country, making sure the clinics are reputable and that they're not taking advantage of you because you're foreign. here's what I'm planning so far: Personalized clinic matching based on your goals and budget Help with travel arrangements (hotels, transport, etc.) Access to virtual consultations before you travel Language support for the entire trip, including post-op care I’m collecting feedback and early interest —also there's this if you want to keep posted or join the pilot!

Hi, I’ve recently undergone a lip lift, corner lip lift, and tip plasty at Retmus and wanted to share my experience! A lip lift is something I have always considered doing. So when I came across Retmus and read about how they specialized in lip lifts and the technique that Dr. Chung uses to minimize scarring, I immediately thought it was time and booked my consultation. My consultation was thorough and pretty straight forward. Dr. Chung recommended for me to do a tip plasty, upper lift lift, and corner lip lift. For my consultation I hired an english interpreter. Even though the doctor speaks and understands english, you’ll still need an english interpreter. So I hired an interpreter for my consultation, surgery, and stitch removal day. For my surgery, I was really nervous and anxious. But at the same time, I was excited for the change. I remembered going to sleep and waking up from surgery. When I woke up from surgery, I felt great! I had no pain and experienced no side effects from the anesthesia, so I was really happy and grateful. As for recovery, I didn’t feel any pain. Just a little bit of discomfort from the tension and pressure between the nose and mouth area. I was also advised to wear a nose retainer as much as possible for six months. 2 weeks post-op. My lips and nose is still pretty swollen and numb in some areas. The scar is slowly healing. I can’t fully close my mouth or make a lot of mouth movements yet. It’s still difficult to smile and laugh. It will take some time and I still have a long way to go. Slowly but surely. Everything is healing pretty nicely Overall, I am really happy with the results!
