Hi all,

I am going to Korea in September (or possibly the last week of September/first week of October) -- I haven't booked my ticket yet. If anyone is interested in meeting up, PM me!

Just FYI -- I am a 29 year old female.

 

I guess I'll start, since I started the thread as well.

I was quoted $3500-4000 for silicone rhinoplasty at Wonjin.

$4445 for silicone rhinoplasty at Item.

$3500-4500 for silicone rhinoplasty at Oz

 

Hi,

We have all contacted various clinics for price quotes. I was thinking it might be helpful if each of us post our quotes (or final surgery price) here and list the name of the clinic and the applicable procedure.

Thanks!

 

How much are you all paying for revision surgery and ptosis correction?

I need a revision really really bad. My former surgeon didn't realize that I had ptosis, and now my eyelids are extremely asymmetrical after my initial surgery because of the weakness in muscle on my right eye.

I might also get double eyelid surgery because of how thick and hooded my eyes are.

I don't think I want epicanthoplasty though.

 

Really! I thought ID had a horrible reputation! I'm surprised because the makeovers on the show are amazing.

 

Does anyone know which clinic those "makeovers" come from?

 

Ugh really? That is too bad. What other clinics would you recommend for major change?

Can someone link the Chinese forum with the wonjin info?

 

Thanks for the response -- I am going September 25th. How long will your group be in Korea?

 

I was going to go to Korea earlier this summer but had to reschedule at last minute. I will go next month instead. I still have not made up my mind with Wonjin or Item (I like their outcomes). I plan to get my nose, eyes, and maybe chin implant or sliding genioplasty.

Which clinic would you recommend for most dramatic change? If you know of another good, cheap clinic, please let me know too. Thanks.

 

I am going to get my nose done in Seoul, I will arrive Tuesday afternoon 6/18 and leave Monday morning 6/24. If anyone wants to meet up, PM me. Thanks.

 

Some people asked about my price quote. Yes, I didn't look up the currency calculator, but the total treatment would be nearly 10K!! All the other clinics quoted 3.5-5K, with JW being the second highest at 6K.

I will copy and paste exactly what they wrote:

[FONT=gulim, sans-serif]Nasal bone reduction[/FONT]
[FONT=gulim, sans-serif]If you are interested in nasal bone reduction, wide nasal bone will be narrowed by bone fracture. Each side of nasal bone will be fractured and gathered together in the center so that the nose bridge will look slimmer. The downtime for this procedure is 7-10 days as bone fracture is occured. The approximate price is from 2,500,000 KRW (2,400 USD) to 3,100,000 KRW (3000 USD). This surgery will be under general anesthesia as bone fracture is involved.[/FONT]

[FONT=gulim, sans-serif]Nose Bridge Augmentation + Nose tiplasty[/FONT]
[FONT=gulim, sans-serif]

We use a silicone implant to place on top of the nasal bridge. The incision will be made inside of one of the nostrils so that there is no visible scar on the face. The open incision is made right under columella so there will be a scar on the face. Therefore, we prefer the close incision for aesthetic purpose. Usually, nose tiplasty is performed along with the nasal bridge augmentation. Due to the close incision, we will harvest some of ear cartilage and place it on top of nose bridge for defining purposes. For a more natural and perfect nose shape, nasal bridge augmentation and nose tiplasty should be performed together. The downtime for these two procedures is 7 days and the approximate price is from 2,500,000 KRW (2,300 USD) to 3,000,000 KRW (2,800 USD).
​

Bulbous nose tip correction
There are three options for nose tiplasty. The below procedures are usually performed under sedative anesthesia and the approximate price is from 1,200,000 KRW (1,100 USD) to 1,800,000 KRW (1,700 USD).
(1) Trimming on the nasal tip cartilage: It is suitable for a big nasal tip cartilage. The surgery is performed by making cuts in the upper area.
(2) Gathering of nasal tip cartilage (pinching): It is suitable for a big nasal tip which has a big gap between the cartilages.
(3) Removal of the nasal tip subcutaneous fat: It is suitable for a thick skin nasal tip. Skin and fat will be removed.

Alar base reduction
Alar base reduction is for big nostrils and a wide nasal bone. The surgeon makes wedge-cuts in the sides of the alar. Then, the surgeon sutures them and makes the nostrils and the nasal bone narrow. The sutures (stitches) will be removed on the 7th day after the surgery. The approximate price is from 1,200,000 KRW (1,100 USD) to 1,800,000 KRW (1,700 USD).

Would you be willing to post B/A pics and share your experience?

I am probably going next month and am very nervous, especially after reading all these stories from Grand, ID, etc. I have not heard of Wonjin, good or bad. Please share any information!

 

Yes that is right i mean wonjin oz and grand were the cheapest i contacted but jw and the others weren't that much more expensive. pitangui charged each part separately and made it wayyyyy more expensive than the others.

i don't know where i'm going yet. i am thinking oz may be too subtle. i like grand's results but i've heard allegations of photoshopping? don't hear much about wonjin good or bad. does anyone have before after pictures?

 

I asked for nose job. They tried to quote me separately for nasal bone reduction, alarplasty, implant, and tip work. The total was 2.5-3x as much as every other clinic I asked! I thought I was reading it wrong, except then at the bottom they wrote:

[FONT=gulim, sans-serif] This is a discount since you are getting multiple surgeries done.[/FONT]

Crazy! The other places quoted USD $3500-5000.

 

I am surprised they are so affordable to the rest of you. I emailed them and they quoted more than all the other clinics in Korea!

 

Your husband is crazy, your nose looks much better!

 

I agree, do not go to anything but a very good dermatologist or plastic surgeon. My friend had a scar removed and she had a large brown mark afterwards.

 

I am looking to make a BIG change to my nose. I do not want anything close to my "natural" nose and I don't even care if my new nose looks fake because my natural nose is wide and flat. I hate having ugly nose. I have communicated with Wonjin and Oz so far. Which would you recommend for the most difference? I do not want to waste my money only to have minor results.
