You have to remember,

"The Revision rate for Rhinoplasty is about 10% if you take all Rhinoplasty surgeons in all cases both primary and revision Rhinoplasty...IMHO"

You can search google for that line of text as I don't think I can post links.
10% sounds about right.

If there has been 300 people here that got nose jobs then maybe 270 of these people will be happy and stop posting but 30 will return and be loud about how bad the place they went to is.

You gotta be realistic with expectations and probably shinsa is the best place to do any of this stuff. Unskilled doctors will not keep their jobs very long around here.

 

Hi shinyglittery cheers, the 3M price I got was from an online form, some kind of place that supposedly gets you the best surgeons and price etc.. I think they must have got a 2M price then tacked a million on it and hoped for the best. I think a proper price for this including fat transfer from abdomen to the area around the orbital rim and just a little below it is around 2M.

Im not justifying them doing shoddy work, its just they are so huge so you will hear about more of their failed cases. Im amazed to see their office tower of surgery each day wow.
A surgery in Korea that consistently does shoddy work will not stay in business very long.
Its hard for foreigners getting surgery here. There are three problems, almost impossible to sue the surgery, no risk to the surgeries bottom line or reputation from botching it and also Korean peoples prejudice against to some extent western people but to a large extent other Asians. They even kind of even think nothing of Koreans who were born in Korea but raised in America. If there is a less experienced or skillful surgeon on their team then that is the one you will be getting. Its not just about their prejudice, its the ease that Korean customers can sue them and more importantly to them its that these young Korean customers go to Universities with 30 or 40 thousand students and will damage the surgeries name if something goes wrong.

 

One thing also you have to remember about BK is they are a surgery mega factory, they see as many patients in a week as most other places would see in a month so they are going to be the most sued and have more cases that go wrong as with this type of stuff there is always going to be a percentage of bad outcomes.

 

I live in Seoul and speak enough Korean to get by, I initially emailed a few places about a lower bleth my prices were about $3000 including fat grafting. My office is in Sinsa and on the way there I went into a place asking about the same thing, got quoted 3 million won for the same thing plus mild upper bleth, I spose refreshing my western upper eyelids would be no more complicated than doing Asian eyelid surgery.
These translators are ripping you off, talk the seller down and talk the buyer up. $150 per day is enough to live on in Seoul, 2 million won per month is so much more than you would earn working in a cafe or retail shop and is about all a medium skilled office worker could ever hope to make. A translator getting $150 per day and a million or more won per week of commissions is gettin rich and living large! A regular doctor here earns about 5 million per month.
