Wow, I had no idea it happened there.... Do you remember what procedure that patient did?
And thanks for sharing about your experience. I really hope to do the surgery one day.

 

Awww... I was hoping I would be able to go back to work on Day 6 since I can't take any more time off. I currently live in Korea. I know I will be a bit swollen still, but I guess it's better to wait when I have more time?

 

Hello, I'm now interested in MVP. Can you give me their kakao ID?

 

I'm also interested in v-line surgery. I've heard back from Wonjin, 5mil to 7 mil was the quote. Can I ask how much you paid and were you okay at Day 6? I only have 5 days off from work and was wondering if that is enough time to recover.

 

Here are the prices and surgery recommendations I received.

Wonjin Beauty Medical Group
Double eyelid incisional + Ptosis correction: 2,400,000 - 2,900,000 won
Square Jaw surgery: 5,500,000 - 7,000,0000 won


Grand Plastic Surgery
Double eyelid incisional 1,800,000 - 2,070,000 Won
Ptosis 700,000 - 9,000,000
Magic Epicabthoplasty 1,100,000 - 1,270,000
Lateral Epicanthoplasty 1,100,000 - 1,270,000
Zygoma reduction 5,000,000 - 5,500,000


Are these in line with the usual prices for these procedures?

 

Hello everyone, sorry for jumping in on this thread; please let me know if I should post in a different thread or start a whole new thread altogether.

Does anyone have experience with mole removal in Korea? I would like to get recommendations for a reputable clinic. I keep reading about mole removals costing 10,000 won per mole and can go up to 30,000 for bigger moles. I want to get this done before I leave Korea in two weeks.

I contacted the Korean Medical Tourism Center and they gave me contact information for three clinics. I looked through their websites and selected one. I contacted them through KakaoTalk and made an appointment. Well, I had my appointment today and they quoted me 149,000 for two moles! These are small and standard moles, nothing special about them. The doctor just looked at them for a few seconds and that was it. I declined because it was too expensive. Maybe the price is high because it's a big medical "hospital" in Gangnam. I don't mind paying more for good quality, but 149,000 seems inflated. So now I would like to get a second opinion.

I've searched on Google and read many blogs about other people's experiences but none of them had information on which clinic they visited, and/or the blogs are really old and out of date. I keep seeing the usual clinics get recommended (Teng Teng, Wooskin, Hsu, The Leaders...) for general dermatology, but not specifically for removing moles. I think I prefer to go to a much smaller but reputable clinic. The place I visited today is similar to those ones I just listed. The clinic was more like a hospital and the people in the waiting room were having tattoos removed or other more serious skin issues. So I felt kind of silly being there for 2 small moles.

If you've had experience with mole removal in Korea, please let me know about your experience. Or even if you haven't done the procedure, I'd love to hear your insights. Thank you!!
