So you are looking for a rejuvenation clinic more so than a surgical one? I understand not wanting to get any work done that requires surgery. My first time I was mess! As long as you know these sorts of treatments aren't as good or as long lasting, you can get decent results. Just don't think you will get surgical results from a non-surgical approach is all I am saying. Anyways, I don't really research much into these types of clinics but I have seen good things from the Dr. Gowoonline Clinic. You can add that one to your list of clinics to look into more.

Hey everyone. I am looking for clinics that focus on natural-style work when it comes to facial reconstruction and anti-aging. I tried looking into optional clinics myself but it is hard to find one that isn't like some sort of massive hospital. I want to find a smaller, more specialized clinic that doesn't feel like a chain hospital franchise, if that makes sense. I want to get a few different things done for my face - mainly anti-aging and a nose job but I want both to look natural as possible. I don't want it to appear as though I have had much if any work done. What clinics should I look into for something like this? Are there any phrases or keywords I should use when searching online?

A friend of mine who I have been talking to about my planned surgery is considering taking a trip with me. She is part Korean but would love to play into her features more and get work done to make her face appear more Korean. She was looking at nose jobs and eye surgeries for the Korean-style aesthetics in the beauty world. Are there any clinics that focus on trends like this? I would imagine there is but for her, it is more of a niche case as she is wanting to look more Korean.

Board Certification. I made that bold because I feel it is the most important thing. Never overlook this. Soon as you find a clinic you like, before even contacting them make sure they are board certified. Everything else comes second to this.

I would think most surgeons sway this way considering the bulk of their clients are going to be local. However, if she wants a place that specifically offers Korean-style surgeries for foreigners, Vava PS seems like a clinic she might be interested in. It is more of a specialty clinic than a bone hospital. It is a good idea to research the clinic before deciding though. I have not looked into this one very much but I do know I have seen others recommend it for this style of surgery.

I have heard of spa clinics that offer anti-aging but never looked into non-surgical work. Laser is meant to be promising for a lot of corrective issues. Even when it comes to deep wrinkles. I think Moo is tight though that you have to be aware of the results not being something that lasts. Similar to botox.

I follow the r/KoreaSeoulBeauty subreddit for research purposes and remember seeing Note PS do a Q&A of sorts on there last year I think it was. @bellazen it can't hurt to check out stuff like that when researching. I don't participate in this community, just use it for reading. I prefer forum formats.

Is this something you want, like a clinic that only has one doctor? I tend to only find ones that have multiple doctors, at least the ones that are well known. I would be a bit cautious if there is just one doctor. Make sure the doc is board certified and has a lengthy experience list!

I like to share it for the very reason you said. It is important that while South Korea is viewed as mostly safe, things like this can and do happen. You can't just trust everyone and anyone. Most Koreans are friendly and honest but they have scammers just like everywhere else.

October is considered the best month to travel there. I looked into all the weather aspects as I wouldn't want to be stuck dealing with rain either. I can handle the heat and humidity but the rain would be annoying.

That is a good point. I will make sure I have digital copies of everything so I can just e-mail them to the clinic. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for pointing that out!

You can join the Discord through the forum for some recommendations as far as clinics go or just search around. Most of them have great ratings. I would make sure no matter which clinic you are considering though that you make sure they are certified by law in Korea. They have a medical board that publicly shows this online. Expect to pay anywhere from 30% to 60% less compared to American prices. The cost depends on how much work you will need.

I wanted to point something out that back lipo IS cheaper. I know this because of a friend who had a lot of it done. I am not sure why people think it is more. All your organs and stuff is in the front and there is way more loose skin to work with.

This is correct. You can even mention to the clinic that you have children. Some of them have places where kids can sit and wait with TV they can watch or games they can play. I have heard of clinics even bringing in special items for kids like gaming consoles when they know a parent is going to be in surgery for awhile.

I was going to mention this too. There are so many options now for this kind of correction you have to narrow things down a bit. Not every clinic offers the same procedures either.
