Hahaha... I didn't do the negotiating... like u... I was bad at it so my bf negotiated on my behalf instead. But I can give u a rough gauge of how much is the reasonable pricing for each op u wanna do.

For eg full face fat graft should be 1.5m won max. Chin implant 2m won...

PM me and let me know what u r planning to do. Will try my best to help.

Full face fat graft is 1.5m? Gosh, Dr Park from Oz Clinic is quoting me 2.2m to 3.3m for forehead and cheek graft only, not even a full face! Do u think I can nego for 1.5m at the very basic? What about blepharoplasty?

I know some of you, specifically the ones who want to save as much as they can, are still finding ways into lessening your costs and all that (for translators, etc.) Member, bkzabii recent experience with a translator and about getting charged higher made me research more into it.

I was lucky enough for a forumner to contact me and explain the process to me. She is really informative and super sweet. She also has tested this translator/local/foreigner pricing thing. She asked her korean friend to call a couple of clinics.

It is true a translator will usually get a commission whether they are "plastic surgery translator" or a translator you hired from an independent company. Apparently when your translator is making the initial consultation appointment for you, they will ask something like "Is it for you or for someone else?", they will then ask what the nature of your relationship is, if it is anything but family or friend they will proceed to ask how much commission they want. The usual rate is 10~20%. Obviously this will be passed onto the final price they give you for your surgeries. Please don't think this is shady or anything, apparently it is part of Korean culture.

I know some of you have been kind of concerned about this local/foreigner pricing and translator situation and like what other people have said before, it is better to get a friend or maybe even ask your translator to act as a friend, but I guess if you use some of the popular ones mentioned in this forum they will know if they aren't.

bkzabii's story about her host mum from airbnb helping her translate and her getting quoted significantly lower than the clinics she did use a translator gave me the initial idea to contact some of the airbnb places I was interested in and ask the hosts if they were willing to help me out and 3/3 of them were totally sweet and said they were more than happy to help me (they were all girls btw). I think it's great for the people who are interested in using airbnb because you can contact the host/hostess before you go and ask if they are wanting/willing to help you.

I know this might not be for all of you as some of you still want to the comforts of a hotel but for people who want to save money as much as they can, doing something like that ^ might help

This is one of the replies I got back:

Hopefully this is helpful for you guys! Happy holidays~

Hi mwol, I got a host mum who is also willing to help me out for free. Thanks for the tips! I will ask her to help me our as a "friend" to prevent the jacking up of the price. Do you know if they can help negotiate to the "local" price for foreigners like us?

Hi All,
I just got my incisional double eyelid surgery done 3months ago at Wonjin Beauty Group.
I'm really really happy with the result. It look so natural, even my best friend not recognize it.

For foreigner, I think should do the incisional surgery instead non-incisional because you have to review every 2 years. That's sound so annoying to me.

If u interesting do the surgery at Wonjin, I recommend you should see Kim Sky. She is a nice girl, she helped me a lot while I'm by myself in Korea

Hi Chloe, can you share more about your experience with Wonjin? I can't find much reviews of Wonjin. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi, may i know if anyone has tried whitening injections in Korea? I have been doing my injections in my home country, but from what I am seeing from the website (MJ Plastic Surgery clinic) as stated below, the price of each jab is almost half of what I am paying now in my home country.

I am thinking of doing at least 3 jabs during my 12 day stay in Korea. My doctor in my home country said that it is even perfectly safe to have the jab everyday, so 4 days apart sounds okay to me.

Anyone knows if it is okay to do a double eyelid surgery together with these jabs?

may i know how long does it take to recover from forehead fat graft procedure?

January 18, 2014

i saw bongqiuqiu's post too and that sparked me to try out plastic surgery too! before this I didn't know that the dent in the forehead can be easily filled with fats via fat graft. Has anyone else tried ITEM? Can you please let me know how your surgeries went?
