My bad i dont really check this forum anymore. No im not

 

@Miyamiki Can you not hijack my thread please and create your own? and it's rude to call me a 0-poster and invalidate my posts just because i got a positive result and you didn't. (you're kind of a 0-poster yourself.....lmao). Salty people like you who rip on people who've had positive experiences and are just posting their experiences make me sick.

Update: Tbh yeah, i realized further along the way that my nose sort of started to look more and more like my old nose which is why im thinking of a revision. I wouldn't say I am completely dissatisfied because it's still a huge improvement but I think I was expecting a more dramatic change.

 

Hi guys! I am now 3 weeks post-op for my PS at April31. Just as a recap, here was part 1 of my review:

# I did my eyes, facial contouring, and rhinoplasty.

Ok so... To start off, I am soo happy with my results so far! It's only been 3 weeks and I am positive that it will only get better from here. Day by day, my results are looking more and more natural. Still a little swollen around my chin area, but it's not an issue, really, since I still look normal. I used to almost never step out of the house without makeup (Yeah... I've got issues LOL) because I never felt confident about my appearance, but these days I've not only been confident enough to go out makeup-free (this is so incredibly liberating!!!), but no lie--I've also been getting insane compliments on my appearance in public ^_^

I still look like myself, but a subtly enhanced version--which was exactly what I was aiming for, and the doctors most definitely delivered. I always hated taking pictures and would kill anyone (not literally) who tried to take candid pictures of me. But these days I've actually been letting my boyfriend take candid pictures of me and I look so much better :'). I used to always hate how the width of my nose would widen & how my eyes would squint when I smiled so on the rare occasions that I posed for a picture, I would keep as much of a straight face as possible. Which meant that I could never take a picture with a natural smile on. Now I can finally smile naturally and my nose & eyes would still look nice!! I'm honestly so happy and I can't wait to witness my looks further improve with time

Also I would like to comment on the post-op aftercare I received from April31 I was treated very well and hooked up with some awesome deswelling treatments, IV drips, and even a facial. They even arranged car rides to and from the clinic for me for almost all of my checkup appointments! I'm super lazy and love getting free rides hahaha. Brian, Henry, and the doctors (esp Dr Park, my fc surgeon. He's so sweet and checked up on me multiple times) are all amazing!!! Brian also arranged to have the company car drive me to the airport when it was time for me to leave Korea--which I am sooo grateful for, since I actually stayed pretty far out in the suburbs of Gangnam, and also accumulated a shiet ton of stuff during my stay (had to buy an extra luggage, but I think I might have needed 2 more tbh...). I'm so happy that he still actively looked out for me weeks after my surgery, even though I'm sure he's incredibly busy with other patients!

I will be posting another follow-up approx 3-months post-op so stay tuned!

 

Thank you so much for this! Really interested in getting my brows done by her. Just asking to confirm, but eyebrow embroidery is essentially microblading, right?

 

Hey there! thank you so much and yesss indeed! Brian and Henry are both super awesome... they're both even better in person! I pm-ed you

 

Pm-ed!

 

Edited to add: I feel SO stupid right now but I got the names of the surgeons wrong

Dr. Oh did my eyes, and Dr. Park did my facial contouring. They are both so very kind. Dr. Park checked up on my a couple times after my surgery... I was so touched Also Brian always goes out of his way to care for me

 

I'll pm you the details!

 

Thanks guys!!! Still struggling to recover right now (its been quite brutal....) But will update once I feel a little better

 

Hey guys! I thought I would share my PS journey with y'all. I've been a long-time lurker of this forum and really appreciate all that I've gained from it, so I hope this would help some of you I flew to South Korea on Christmas morning this year, and had 3 different consultations the day after. My first was at View, the second at GNG, and finally April31.

These were the 3 procedures I wanted to get done: 1) Rhinoplasty 2) Facial Contouring 3) Eyelid Surgery

So here goes a breakdown of each consultation...

VIEW
I was initially very set on View, prior to having any consultations whatsoever. During my consultation, I only got to speak with one surgeon, who apparently was going to do both my facial contouring (mandible reduction) and eyes. We also talked about my nose, but it was only after my consultation that I learnt that he wasn't even going to be my rhinoplasty surgeon at all. So basically--I didn't get to meet the surgeon who was going to operate on my nose at all! I was a little put off by that, which I think was what ultimately made me not want to go with them. Also, I didn't really know what exactly this one surgeon specialized in... was it facial contouring? eyes? both? But besides that, I have to add that their prices were actually the best out of the 3. They also have a reputation for being accident-free for many years, so I think they would be a safe option.

GNG
GNG has a really good reputation overall, and I could definitely see why. Very soon after I stepped into the clinic, I had an inkling that I preferred GNG already, just because I could tell how popular they were. It helped that the building was quite fancy, too (Not the best indicator of the surgeons' skills, I know...). I got to see a different surgeon for each of my desired procedures this time around, thankfully. Honestly, it was a great & thorough consultation, and I liked how each of the surgeons actually took the time to survey my face and my CT scans, and point out the work that needed to be done. I was actually so bent on getting my surgery here after my consultation with them that I even paid a deposit for my slot, and for almost half of my surgery's costs right then and there, without even finishing all my planned consultations! They were super busy, and the only surgery date they could get for me was almost 2 weeks away. I wasn't too pleased about that because my time in Korea was limited, and I really wanted sufficient time to heal.

April31
Now, I think you guys can all tell from the title that I ultimately picked April31, which honestly surprised me. Prior to my consultations, my choices were ranked as follows: 1) View 2) GNG 3) April31 just because April31 was known to be quite pricey. However, as my day went on, the order of my preferences completely reverted! Honestly, I was going to skip my consultation with April31 entirely, but I'm sooo glad I didn't. So here's some of the reasons why I chose April31 out of the 3...

1) Dr. Kim had SUCH a good reputation, and I just knew I wanted him to do my nose. He has had a demonstrated history of success with even the most complicated revision cases, so I could tell he was very skilled. He completely understood all my concerns, and even showed me in real time how I could anticipate my results to look.

2) You can't mention April31 without mentioning Brian! ^_^ He's super charismatic, quick to respond (that's pretty hard to find with these PS clinics... GNG in particular always needed me to bug them a little before they'd respond to me), sooo genuinely helpful, and very knowledgeable. He's helped me in so many ways already, even before the surgery. I'm honestly really fond of him, lol, and I'm sure anyone who's ever met him is, too! If any of you went to April31, I can assure you you will be in good hands with Brian's guidance.

3) I had very good feelings about Dr. Sung (Facial Contouring) and Dr. Won (Eyes) too. They both seemed incredibly patient, and told me exactly what they were going to do, which I really liked. I knew I could trust their expertise.

With regards to price, I do believe that you do get what you pay for (to some degree). Yes, it isn't the cheapest clinic. But when it comes to something as dramatically life-altering as plastic surgery... Please don't let price be a factor that hinders your decision.

That's it for now! I will write a follow-up after I get my actual surgeries. Stay tuned
