anyone planning on going to Thailand July 2015 or around that time? I'm planning on getting zygoma reduction and alarplasty+tipplasty
I wanted to go to korea but I feel they have too many surgeries going on in a day and I want my Dr. to be 100% dedicated to my surgery since I've already had "quick zygoma" (just shaving? I think) and I don't want my Dr. messing up my cheekbones

Looking for a buddy to hang out with and go to consultations with and of course for moral emotional support. Please email me at [email protected]

Hi guys, really glad to see a recent thread on OZ clinic. I'm intending to go to Korea for alarplasty (alar base reduction) and got attracted to this clinic because of the few clinics I've emailed, it seems like Dr Park is the only one who says he frequently does combined sill and wedge excisions. Most other Korean doctors insist on just the sill excision due to the fact that the scar is practically invisible. So I needed to know my doctor would have sufficient experience with wedge excision too since the scar needs to be expertly placed at the crease.

Has anyone done alarplasty at OZ clinic? Could you please kindly tell me how it went?

Thanks a lot!

I'm so bored resting at my hotel today so I decided to post my experiences with clinics! So I have consulted with three clinics: BK, JW, The Line, and EverM. Initially I was planning to consult with View and Cindy aswell, but I decided after my fourth consultation as only the prices were different from all of my meetings. And, ofcourse, I prefer to have more recovery time

BK:

I wasn't planning to consult with this clinic because of all the bad reviews I've read but since my translator was late and that BK had in-house translators, I decided to just give it a shot. First, there are two buildings that look exactly the same as each other, minus the different entrance layouts, and BK was the one on the left. The building was quite small, but pretty tall, luxurious, and modern.- BK owned the entire building btw!. So I walked in and was greeted by two receptionist that directed me to floor 5, or 6 for consultations. The first two in-house translators, male and female, were quite natural looking but the consultant was really unnatural - i suspect that probably she had everything done. OK, so the consultant recommended me to have a nose-job as well as sliding genioplasty for a final result of having that straight line from the nose-tip to the chin without touching the mouth. I'm suspecting that this is their definition of beauty, maybe? Although I kinda agree with what she said about the line, I'm more worried about the actual size of my face - I have huge mandibles and cheekbones. She was unsure so she called in a face-contouring doctor, a old man that again keep emphasizing the need of that line from nose-tip to chin. He said that v-line and zygoma reduction were unnecessary and that a for sure, most dramatic improvement to my face was to get the line so nose-job and sliding -chin. Anyways, as this was the first clinic that I've consulted with, I decided to leave- ofcourse, ending it as if i was very interested but just need a bit more time thinking about it .

EverM:

This clinic was actually a dental clinic that specialized in, surgery wise, two jaw surgery, v-line, and zygoma reduction. It was located in the exact replica building right next to BK, but only occupies four floors. Also, propose clinic and teng teng skin clinic were all in this building as well - heard those clinics mentioned before in this forum before. This clinic does require you to have a translator as the staff and doctors only speak English minimally. When I first started the consultation, I was told to have a CT and X-Ray scan, unlike any other clinics where they refuse to do it until you pay a deposit or actually paying for it. The meeting was with the actual surgeon - Yoon Kyu Sik, yes the guy in the picture posted around 10 pages ahead. One thing to note was that in the consulting room, there was a wall full of pictures of celebrities with this surgeon - my translator said that ALL of them were famous to some degree and she's korean. I'm not sure whether they came here for dental treatments or for surgery. Oh, and the consultant showed us a picture of a before picture of a supposedly famous singer before her ps, forgot her korean name w/e. Back to the doctor's comments. The doctor, with evidence from the ct scans, and x-rays, showed me the bones that are causing my face to look big. He said that on the side profile, my mandibles are over-grown but reducing it won't make a significant impact on the profile view, so he suggests to have the mandibles shaved. Moreover, the chin should be brought forward through the sliding-gen procedure, and the zygoma to be cut smaller as well. All in all, I felt that this clinic did a good job in explaining to me the problems, with evidence from the scans. An advice: these scans tell you exactly what's keeping you back, with exact measurements of bone thickness, so having it done before talking to the doctor will give you a much more productive and meaningful consultation.

JW:

I actually didn't have an appointment with this clinic but just found it while cruising around after my appointment with The Line. Keep in mind that ALOT of clinics mentioned on this forum were ALL located on this street: Grand, Dream, JK, and Tenium. The exterior of this clinic was quite normal but the inside was very luxurious, with the floors and walls covered in stones. As with all big clinics, there were in-house translators, in this case, they generalized them as being in the "foreign division" department. Not going to lie, but as who-ever's review just a few pages back mentioned, the "cute" male there was really .. feminine (the one that keeps playing with his cracked note 2 ). Anyways, this clinic didn't wast my time and quickly took me to see the doctor so no more consultant un-professional analysis bs. This doctor recommended v-line and zygoma reduction reduce the size of my face - as per requested. The price that they quoted me was 15 million with a "cash discount" of one million, so totaling at 14 million. Not surprised- just plain foreigner pricing. remember id's 8.5 million + 5 million pricing on their on-line consulting page?haha

The Line:

Alot of locals actually go here. My translator said that the girl in front of me with like a group of photographers was actually a girl in this korean ps show "let me in". The consultation was rushhed. This clinic, instead of the doctor coming in your room during the consultation, it is you going to him. So the doctor just touched your face and kinda feel the position of the bones, then say what he feels was wrong. Then he sends you with consultant and off you go to another room. Overall, I do not feel a connection with this clinic at all, and as other forumers said, go with the clinic/doctor that makes you the most comfortable.

Prices:

I'm going to post the prices I've received as I was once very interested in knowing the prices for these procedures as well.

BK: Nose-job (basically everything including the tip with ear-cartilage) - 6.5 million won, Sliding -Gen - 5 million won, with silicon chin implants at 4 mill won. There is a discount of 800k won if done together, but obviously, as i'm not interested, i didn't bother negotiating any further.

EverM: Zygoma - 5 million, V-line (mandible reduction + sliding gen) - 8 million, This clinic actually print and laminate their prices and it's in Korean, so i guess it's a one for all price. Anyways, they said if i got the two procedures together, then both can be done for 10.5 million won. And this is after like 10 minutes of talking.
The Line: 10 million for V-line, 5 million for zygoma, cash reduction of 500 k. I can feel that this consultant want me to negotiate.. and as i leave in disinterest, the consultant told my translator and I to stay. haha.

JW: 15 million total, pretty similar to The Line but instant cash discount of 1 million.

In the end, I chose EverM and here's why.

1. CT and X-ray scans before consultation,
2. Only one main surgeon for surgeries. There are six doctors here but only 3 are involved in surgeries. This includes the doctor that performs, stitches, and regulates anesthesia. It's really relieving to know that the doctor you consulted with is actually the doctor that performs as other bigger clinics, namely ID, BK, etc, are known to "switch" doctors after you're knocked out.
3. The appointments are FILLED for 3 weeks but they managed to switch a patient to a later day to give me his spot. They only do 2 - 3 surgeries a day so this reinforces the fact that there's only one doctor performing.
4. All the patients are local, i'm like the only foreigner there, not only during the consultation but during my stay in their clinic, and after one check up.

TRANSLATOR COMMISSION FEES:

I cannot stress this enough but translators DO 100% take commissions. My friend who is translating for me told me that when she booked my appointments, the clinics kept asking her about her "fee". And this is with every clinic she booked with so do be aware about this practice. The commissions are apparently not set by the clinic but by the translator. If you don't believe me, ask a korean friend of yours to call in any clinic to book an appointment for someone foreign and i guarantee you'll be hit by that question about fees.

I would find a translator by searching by searching Seoul craigslist for a korean-english tutor as someone that could teach the language is more of sufficient to know more or less the medical terminology- which there's like none other than the names.

Disclaimers: I'm not promoting any clinics here, just wanted to share with you guys my pure honest opinion and experience with the above clinics. Although I have done my surgeries with EverM, I have yet to see the final results so do not base your face on my reviews but rather, treat it as some more additional information on your decision for surgery. I'm a male btw.

Feel free to ask me questions but as I haven't reached my 10th post yet, I'm unable to do any pms so just comment below.
