If you had surgery in S korea and your results ended up really bad. For instance, after rhinoplasty you have breathing issues, facial asymmetry or worse you got skin treatment but your face gets ruined. I searched a lot and was told it is hard to sue korean doctors and I just want to let you know that is not true, they have consumer policies and the below websites should help you get compensation. The Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency is available by calling (02) 1670-3545 or visiting www.k-medi.or.kr, while the Korea Consumer Agency can be reached by dialing 1372 or visiting www.kca.go.kr.

So I saw awhile back Kino recommended that people in the chat should list their clinic considerations on BH. I felt like that was a good idea so here's mine. I'm hoping that anyone who is either looking or is more of plastic surgery veteran than I am will feel moved to respond. Thank you all. P.S~ After much consideration the following clinics were chosen based on my personal needs, which are: Ideally ENT, Ideally has worked with bulbous noses, Ideally can/has performed rhinos without the use of an implant, Ideally these clinics are easy to contact and have decent aftercare, Ideally they are lesser known or small-medium sized clinics. Listed in no particular order. 1. Dr.Jin (Premium Nose Clinic/ Koko clinic) https://dr-jins-premium-nose-clinic.business.site 2.Cocoline Clinic (I love these guys) http://www.cocoline.co.kr/eng/coco02/index1.php 3. Seoulista (Only have heard a review from one other person about this) http://seoulista-ps.com/m/ 4. JJ Plastic Surgery (This is not JK, JW or any other J named clinic lol there are a lot) http://m.jjps.co.kr/mobile/index.php 5. Nano Aesthetics Plastic Surgery (These guys are legends so awesome. Just don't try to KakaoTalk them it doesn't work idk why they changed) http://nanoesc.co.kr/new_mobile// 6. The Plus/Nplus (I get good vibes from these guys. They seem chill lol not that that actually matters it's plastic surgery for f*ck sake not speed dating but Idk good vibes.) http://theplusps.com/2017/ 7. Dream (Obviously well known but I just listed it as a safety choice.) http://www.e-dream.co.kr 8. GNG (I'm ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED at the amount of hate this places gets I just wonder if it's legit or just bullsht...if there's smoke maybe there's fire???) http://www.gnghospital.com/en/ Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Airbnb is a common alternative to hotels, but here are some Airbnb selection tips: Try to pick ones near the clinic area (Gangnam Station, Yeoksam Station, Non-hyeon Station, Sinsa Station). Picking places around here will generally put you in 8 to 15 commute from most clinics located in the Gangnam area (depends on traffic) Try to pick places that have an elevator or are only 2 or 3 floors max stair walk if there is no elevator. If you stay in a hotel or airbnb make sure you prepare it for your recovery. Move things that you might trip on, cover up sharp corners, buy plastic covers if you think you may leak from your wound site, make sure you get plenty of pillows, so you can sleep on a 45 degree angle. You could also try a homestay with a Korean family, and let them know if you are coming for surgery. Note of Caution About Hosts Be cautious when telling a host you are coming for surgery. Although we'd like to believe in the kindness of strangers, if they suddenly become invested in your surgery details and volunteering their time to assist you, then they may actually be brokering your surgery without your knowledge. You should not disclose the names of the clinic you plan to visit until you have confirmed your final prices face to face, and have decided upon which clinic will do the surgery. If they ask clinic details before that time, then give them a random clinic name that you don't actually plan to visit. You can tell them the real clinic name after everything has been confirmed and decided upon, since it may be relevant for them to know for emergency contact purposes after your surgery. Some red flags that a host may be acting as a covert broker is if they start volunteering services that are essentially done by medical tour agencies such as planing and arranging your clinic schedule, soliciting clinic recommendations, handling your personal information with clinics, escorting you to the clinic and interpreting for you. If you want all these things then you should just simply work with an actual medical tour agency from the get go, since they'll be upfront about these services and what their role and responsibilities are.

I'm not a promoter. I paid WAY too much to go to PBC lol. If I could go back I would have chosen another clinic since I feel like result would have been similar. Would be happy to share my B/A photos

there are many reviews of people who went with medical tourism agencies and deeply regretted it as they are literally arm twisted into going with clinics where these agencies get more commission. i highly suggest if you prefer company for your consults, to link up with the contacts in the august/september ps kkt group chat. alternatively, hire a translator from the gangnam medical centre (30000krw per hour). seoul is not a difficult place to navigate, especially since you are proficient in korean. if i may suggest, choose an accomm in the gangnam, sinsa area so that travelling to clinics for consults, surgery and follow ups will be a lot less stressful. foodwise, there is yogiyo app for delivery (assuming you can read hangeul) and if all else fails, there are convenience stores everywhere where you can be sure to grab something to fill you up.

update: So with Kino's advice I've narrowed down my clinics. I will def post all the deets when I consult with them! No sponsoring or biases LOL. My top fives are POP, Premier (Dr Jang YuJin), DA, ILUMI and PR. I have Topface also but that's as a backup, but may end up dropping as well. I know Pop's doc has a suspended license but I think I'll at least consult f2f and heck even ask why he didn't pay his surgeon fees. I'm so curious to this clinic's monumental advertising and rise to locals' fame Premier. Acc to GU, Dr Jang has really nice dramatic results. Of course I did hear about the hygiene questionings but I'd rather assess her in person. DA. Their results are my type so. ILUMI. They are terrible with answering back their texts! It's been like a week LOL. But as long as I have a consult with them I'll see them in person. PR. Another top riser according to GU. Their results seem legit. I dropped Marble because although they were totes my style they were overcharging me LOL Topface is a backup because honestly I've only seen/heard good results from them.

Hi! I would recommend Pretty Body Clinic. They start the price high but you can negotiate it down from a certain set of areas to add more for the same price. They quoted me 9M for lower body lipo but I was able to get them down to 7M and include my love handles as well as fat grafting. I am very happy with my results so far with PBC. I have also chatted with a few people who have had success with Evita Clinic. They are very reasonably priced. It's the same for local or foreigner. I believe they said lower body lipo was ~3.5M.

Check out Idea Plastic Surgery. I did a hashtag search and saw this post that says they have a stem cell lab and do fat grafting.
