Have you considered 365mc? I read in another post that 365mc doesn't do GA according to their email. I'm not 100% sure if that's accurate though. I was personally thinking of 365mc since they specialize in lipo.

 

I read in another post that you plan on getting lipo. Which clinics do you plan to visit? Thanks so much. I would like to get some lipo on my problem areas as well in Korea!

 

I'll be almost two years post op in April. I responded to someone else as to why I wasn't completely satisfied. Hope it helps.

 

Then maybe they do have an english translator since they have they provide an english website.
Yeah, they're expensive. He's on this family talk show in Korea with his wife, who is an actress I think, not a famous one though. Now that I look at the website, that does kind of go in hand with him supposedly having done surgeries on stars. So maybe that's why they are pretty expensive?
I responded to someone else with why I'm not completely satisfied. Hope it helps.

 

It was Kwon Jang Deok. I had epi and partial incision done.
My cousin recommended him and said that he's famous for his eye surgeries. The consultation went well, so I chose Idea out of the clinics I visited.
However I don't fully love my results. One eye is very slightly higher than the other and I don't think he stitched one of the incisions well because a tiny scab formed and the scar is much more noticeable than the other, which is practically invisible. The aftercare was pretty non existent. I had some concerns but he pretty much brushed them off and said everything will be fine and went about his way. It felt as if he was so busy to even answer a few questions. I now realize that aftercare with the surgeon is pretty minimal in Korea but I just wish he had given me some genuine reassurance. I was really swollen so I was extremely worried and stressed then.
My mother was pretty disappointed by his attitude, but she does think my eyes came out well. I am a perfectionist, so I don't know if I'm being nit picky or not. Other than those issues, I am pretty satisfied (I wouldn't get a revision or anything) but I would be a bit hesitant to highly recommend him.

Edit: One eyelid might be a bit higher due to him not measuring and marking my eyes before surgery. I didn't know then, but he just used the instrument to make double eyelids and asked, "is that how high you want your double eyelid?' and I was whisked away into surgery.

 

I'm really sorry, but I can't recall the exact price of the surgery. My mother took me and handled most of the billing. For epi and partial incision, it was certainly over $3000. I also remember their price was much more expensive than all the other clinics' I went to. We asked if they could give us a little discount, but the consultant said no, everything is a set price for everyone.
I'm not certain if they have an english translator. I'm pretty sure they have a chinese translator since they had chinese writing on the entrance and signs. My mother speaks korean, so she was pretty much my translator.
I don't think I would 100% recommend Idea though. I wasn't completely satisfied with my experience.

 

I actually got my eyes done at Idea. I was just so surprised by another person here mentioning them so I was curious as to why you visited there. I'm deciding if I want to get lipo and fillers done there. That's crazy how busy they were. I went mid April of 2014 and there were only a couple of people in waiting room, so I wasn't too sure if they had many clients. Although, the eye surgeon's schedule was packed and had to squeeze me in.

 

You look great!! Thanks for updating us.
I was also wondering why you didn't end up going to Idea and what your thoughts are on the doctors you met there. You're the first person here who has mentioned Idea. Thanks so much.

 

I had partial incision done and if I want to get it revised in the future, is it possible to get non incisional procedure done? Or is it impossible due to the small scar?

 

Your epi looks great. If you look at people without epicanthal folds, the corner of their eyes naturally go slightly downwards. Good luck with healing!

 

I went mid April and clinics were definitely not busy. There were only a couple of people in the waiting rooms. I also went pretty early if that should be taken into any consideration.

 

Non incisional is completely reversible, which is why they recommend it if you have the right type of eyes for it. They simply remove the sutures and redo it.
I regret doing partial incisional because I think it's more difficult to get a revision due to the partial scar.

 

One of my eyelid looked more swollen than the other and that eyelid ended up slightly higher than the other. However, everyone is different and you should just wait and see. It took over 6 months for my eyes to completely settle down.
Edit* I had partial incision done which may be why it took much longer for it to heal.

 

How would one know if the skin of their nose is thin? I feel like the skin of my nose bridge is too thin so an implant would be so obvious.

 

Regarding your alarplasty, do you have any obvious scars from it? Are you satisfied with it & do you think it made a big difference?
Sorry for all the questions! It's just that the a lot of alarplasty pictures I've seen online have pretty apparent scars and their nose look quite unnatural after the surgery, so it makes me so hesitant from getting one.

 

I went to Idea clinic and got double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty! I've been meaning to write my whole experience, but i keep pushing it back. I feel like I'm writing too much/no where near done writing my experience.

Gah, I'll get to it asap. I will quickly say, although I do like how my eyes came out, it's not perfect and I didn't love Dr. Kwon. I'm not a hundred percent sure I would recommend him.

 

Hi. To all the people who have had rhinoplasty, have your inner eyes been stretched due to raising the nose bridge?

Thinking of getting rhino, but I already had epi done so the thought of stretching my inner eyes even more is holding me back. Or maybe only getting tip plasty would be the better choice..

Thanks so much.

 

Hmm, there was a link of some korean list with so many plastic surgery clinics that were blacklisted/people had bad experience with. But thanks anyway!

 

Does anyone have the list of blacklisted clinics? I remember seeing the link for it a while back.

 

With non incisional double eyelid surgery, would the thread poke out of the eyelid if the thread becomes loose/unravel ? Irritating the eye?

One more question, I had epicanthoplasty around 2.5 weeks ago, the area is still slightly red and sometimes itchy. Is this normal???

Thanks!!!!

 

Okay thanks, that's somewhat reassuring. Now, I just don't know whether to wait it out or go for the cortisone shot before it gets worse, except the side effects worry me. Aghh.

 

It's been 2 weeks since I had epicanthoplasty and scars are forming. I didn't notice them at all until recently and I feel like they are getting worse (more raised)!! I'm so worried and frustrated.
Does anyone have any recommendations for scar removal creams that actually work?? Thanks!!

 

Is it possible to only have tip plasty? I heard that tip plasty alone won't really change anything?
I would just like to extend the tip of my nose, so it would be less round/fix my short columella.
Thanks!!!

 

Hi! I wish to get double eyelid surgery and liposuction (love handles). Does anyone know how many days apart I should do the surgeries? And which surgery to do first? Thanks so much!

 

Hi ladybuygz. If it's not too personal, can you share what happened with your liposuction situation? I'm interested in getting liposuction and trying to figure out which form (regular, smart, vaser, etc.) to do so.
Thanks!
