That's correct that it's 100,000 krw but 80$ would be the exchange rate currently that most banks (KEB, Woori, etc) would offer a little lower. My friend who is doing the same exchanged at a lower rate so it's about 90$ for her per night. At the end, it's best to err on the side of caution and be prepared to have 1,400$ to be safe. Not every bank will exchange at the best rate (or foreign rate as shown).

 

Hey! So it’s roughly 100$ per night so if you’re quarantining for 2 weeks, expect 1,400$ in costs. Those who are required to do so will have to sign a release form from the Rep of Korea agreeing to these conditions prior to boarding the plane. If the passenger refuses to sign the form, they will be denied boarding. It is costly but if you really want to go through with it, then please stay safe

 

Hey! Those concerns are completely adequate but there's greater concerns if you're coming from the states or any other country, South Korea just issued a mandatory quarantine yesterday for 2 weeks and if you don't have local residence, you will have to quarantine in a government-run facility at your own expense. This means you will have to pay to get quarantined which will be costly. I suggest that it would be in your best interest to come when this situation clears.

 

I couldn't help but want to reply to this because I feel like we all have some aspect or thought of this. For me, I don't think I come into the surgery knowing what the scope of success my doctor will have. In the end, surgery results are relative to the person, and it's true: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In a society where we're constantly surrounded by a plethora of different people, I often compare myself to those who I feel look better than me. In that regard, I will always have some feelings of inferiority, and thus the need to look better through surgery.

It can be a really scary path to go down towards because you either have a false impression of yourself, or too high of an expectation for what can occur (and for some part, I feel like advertisements by these clinics fuel this image that there are super dramatic changes, which there can be, but that's not reflective of everyone getting surgery). I know for myself, I was only content with getting my nose done, but I started pondering about slimming my face through facial contouring. I try not to think about it, but it's a rather inconvenient truth that I might be throwing money and time to make myself potentially look like one of the dramatic cases I see on advertisements when I walked through Gangnam. Ultimately loving yourself and feeling confident is a lot harder than it looks, and I would sadly say that I kind of did love myself before surgery. Comparing my current face to my old one, I was horrified to think I even looked attractive, but a lot of my friends loved me and I guess that's where my self-love came through. When you're validated by others, you feel okay. But learning to love without that validation is going to take time, and it's a journey I think for all of us.

 

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are taking care of yourselves and staying diligent during these times, there's a lot of uncertainty going around but please do remember to pay attention to your physical and mental health! Being stressed about surgery is one thing but getting sick is just too much haha.

As the title would suggest I am posting a 6 month update on my results from Uvom so far that I got in the summer of 2019, and just some of my thoughts on the process.
(If you guys want to take a look at my original uvom posts feel free to take a look at:
https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1013618-uvom-plastic-surgery-danbams-korean-adventure-and-tips-advice/

That has a lot of my general impressions and tips that were really helpful for me when I went to Korea so yeah!

My impressions:
During this time, the hard feeling in my nose has decreased a lot. It feels kind of numb still down to the tip, but I've gotten used to it. I still like the height projection and it seems dramatic in pictures but to be honest, when I went to go see my friends and family, the only person who was able to tell a difference was my Mom LOL. I actually get a lot of compliments on my nose when I go places, a notable time being when I was getting my teeth cleaned at the dentist, and the operating dentist was talking to her assistant and saying my nose bridge was high for my ethnicity (yikes)! For the most part, I like my new nose, I'm still getting adjusted but I'm really hoping that the goretex is going to stay healthy for a long time. I do have to note that my nostrils are uneven, but from what I've heard from Uvom, surgery can't completely fix asymmetry. I don't really mind that much since it's not that visible, but if you're more worried about it, please do let Unice or Dr.Lee know if you're consulting with Uvom.

Hopefully all is well, both for my nose and this current pandemic, please let me know if any of you have any questions and I'll be happy to give you any tips on surgery, my experience, or even just questions about Korea in general! I can recommend some pretty good spots to eat or things to do so let me know!

Best of luck on your surgery adventures!

P.S Pleaseeee don't look too hard at my pre-pictures, I legit look like a potato and my sister did me so dirty with the picture taking. Just look at the post op LOL.



Socially distant,

I have really quick to get some of my moles removed! They have their prices laid out and the clinic is pretty big, consultation was super quick and I got it done in less than an hour. They’re pretty efficient but I can’t attest to quality of other surgeries, mostly just the non invasive ones.

 

I mostly walked around a lot post op (gradually though) over a week and a half, and I looked presentable after I got my nose cast removed. Hot weather does play a part, but I went in the summer and walking plus good nutrition did wonders!

 

Hey Sinclair! Whew I’m so sorry for the late response, some threads just slip past me haha. As for alarplasty, I’m not too sure. I believe he said he was going to use an incision and cut, but in terms of making it narrow down I have no idea. I’m really sorry, I actually didn’t know that could occur! I could try asking them though what the procedure was, but it might take some time as I heard they have been getting a lot of messages lately aha.

 

Hey there! So sorry for the late reply, been trying to get through the jet lag LOL. My implant was 6 mm so it seems a little high, but I don’t know if that’s a lot for an implant. let me know if you have any questions!

 

Hey y’all! Danbam here, it’s been one month since my procedures at Uvom! I like the way my nose is turning out so far, it’s been a little red which makes me kind of nervous, but Uvom has been staying in contact with me on what they suggest so that’s been a plus.

I’ll let you guys know of any updates! And again if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me either through Kakao or here

Read my first impression here! In case y’all wanted to know: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1013618-uvom-plastic-surgery-danbams-korean-adventure-and-tips-advice/

Oh! And for those asking, my nose implant size was 6 mm! It seems like a lot? I’m not too sure though so if anyone knows please do!

 

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words

 

I added you back! I liked Uvom a lot, perhaps still consult Gng and see what styles you liked and the cost! Great to have alternatives

 

Awe thanks! Dr.Lee did a great job with the bridge, I really like the height. Your post was my attitude before actually, I was really opposed to alloplastic implant due to risks, but it’s low. It doesn’t have no risk however, so if you have enough cartilage, I would recommend you use that! Otherwise, Goretex is another option

 

Honestly I made a list of the clinics to contact, sent my pictures in and asked them what did they think I needed. In my case, we were able to reach a general consensus on my nose. It was flat and wide, and I told them that I wanted it to be raised, and slimmed down. After you talk to a couple, look at the general recommendations ( f.e almost all clinics I consulted agreed on Osteotomy to remove the wide bone) and I added it to my list. I asked questions like how much does it cost, any accommodation, is there a potential for the cost to go lower, a doctor I wanted, etc. For me, I looked at the b&a’s of the clinic and inquired which surgeon operated. Hope that answers your question haha

 

Yes! Mostly Kakao, some did whatsapp and others did line too. You talk to them through online consult, they give you a range and then if you want, you schedule an f2f consultation

 

Awe thanks so much! Let me number my answers out so it’s easier lol
1.) So I didn’t use intermediary sites like Docfinderkorea, usually those medical agencies will help you with translation and transportation, etc but honestly, if you have navermap and have some common sense on using taxi and subway, you can get to the clinic just fine. I contacted the clinics directly through Kakao!

2.) So yeah! If you read around Purseforum ( and also Beautyhacker too!) you’ll find threads in which people start Kakao group chats filled with people who you can talk to for more info! I’m currently in 2: PS 2019 Eyes and Nose and the 2019 Rhinoplasty only group chats.
https://open.kakao.com/o/gVDcB8w

I linked them here )

3.) In terms of accommodation, they did have a small room I could stay in for only a couple hours to rest, but I ultimately had to go to my Airbnb (which was only a 20 minute walk away, great for deswelling lol) Stephanie did however help us with calling a taxi and moving my suitcases (me and my friend had 5 huge ones) to our Airbnb so that was great!

Hope that helped, and best of luck in finding your clinic!

 

Awe thank you! I think so too, hopefully it deswells more. Looking at it now, yeah it was pretty crazy, I watched some kdramas to pass the time but we did a whole lot that day!

 

Hey there! Yes I did, I posted a pretty hefty review (sorry if it’s too long!)

https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1013618-uvom-plastic-surgery-danbams-korean-adventure-and-tips-advice/

Hello beautiful people! It’s Danbam here, you might’ve noticed me lurking around some forums and group chats on Kakao! Having finished this wild and crazy surgery adventure at UVOM, I wanted to share w/ y’all the entire process and some things I wish I known before + any advice for y’all coming to Korea for surgery because I know that I read up a lot on what to expect and utilized a lot of reviews to help me make my plastic surgery decisions!


Just a lil info about myself, I may be one of the youngest ppl on this forum to get plastic surgery, I just turned 18 in the United States and I decided I was going to bite the bullet and get my surgeries this summer. The only surgeries I have undergone was tonsil and wisdom tooth surgeries (hardly anything cosmetic) but I did have a sense of general anesthesia so that was a plus. I am Asian, and unfortunately I wasn’t born with a high nose bridge like my sisters in the family (sigh). It’s alright though! All can be improved When coming to Korea, I consulted primarily online with clinics over getting Osteotomy, wide alar reduction, bulbous nose correction, and epicanthoplasty. (There were some more procedures added later however!)


I listed the clinics I consulted with online on my other thread: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1010581-going-off-to-s-korea-soon-1-month-till-take-off/#post-33101040. so be sure to check that out! But I had a general sense of clinics to go to, which were primarily View and Uvom given the sheer amount of chatting and planning that was taking place.


Landing in Korea— So I left the United States on June 15th and headed towards S Korea! Me and my friend left near 11 pm so we would actually be landing in the country 2 days later, on Monday June 17th. Going through the airport was a breeze, but it took me a lot more money than I originally thought. For anyone getting a SIM card, I would actually recommend buying one online beforehand that includes talk and text! I would recommend Trazy where you can pick up your SIM card at the airport, I didn’t do that and instead went to the SKT counter where I got my SIM card but it was more expensive (71,000 krw for a month) and it only had data.


We arrived in the country super early in the morning, at 3:30 AM, and commuting to Gangnam was about an hour so we ended up arriving at UVOM at 5 in the morning. No one was open at that time though, so we just stayed at this small restaurant called Juju for 4 hours (not recommended!) We probably should’ve stayed at the airport longer and looked around. Once UVOM opened, I went in and the clinic was really cozy looking. I actually barged in 30 minutes before they actually opened, and Eunice (the consultant) told me that I arrived really early.


I waited for an hour or so, and I filled out some medical questions and took some angler shots of my face. After waiting, I went into the consulting room with Eunice and my translator Stephanie (the absolute sweetest girl) and we discussed what kind of procedures to get. Referring to my angled pics, Eunice actually pointed out a lot of things that I didn’t realize I even had that could be changed (like that I had a hump nose and a slight unevenness in my nostrils, go figure.) At the end, Eunice answered my questions diligently and we decided on adding Rhinoplasy-bridge insertion where they would add ePTFE for my bridge to add some height. I really did want to use Autologous material like my cartilage, but Eunice told me that the change would only be 1 mm or so. She told me to try ePTFE, which she says she had herself and I was surprised because her nose didn’t seem at all unnatural.

Note: I didn’t know exactly what ePTFE was at the time, but looking it up (and correct me if I’m wrong Purseforumers) is that it’s just a fancy variation for Goretex. So if you guys wanted to compare/weigh the pros and cons of such for rhinoplasty, now you know

She told me to try ePTFE, which she says she had herself and I was surprised because her nose didn’t seem at all unnatural.


Note: During my consultation, because I was still only 18, I actually needed to contact my family for them to give consent for my surgery. Only having a data plan, it was incredibly difficult to reach my mother, but I was able to work with Eunice and Stephanie to reach my mother (who at the time hurriedly agreed since she was incredibly busy) and consented to my surgery. If you’re 18, please be sure to get some note or be prepared to call your Guardians, I didn’t think Uvom would need to, but alas they did.


After the consultation, Stephanie went with me to exchange my money at the bank (they had way better rates compared to the ones at the airport!) and get some medicine at the pharmacy. The process was kind of long, but I had a really nice chat with Stephanie where we talked about life and stuff, so that was a big plus. During the time this was happening, View contacted me about my f2f consult, but I went with my gut and just stuck with Uvom.


Surgery: Surgery was happening the same day for me, only two hours later so I had to take a lot of tests and pictures beforehand. I met with Dr.Lee and Dr.Kang who would be doing my nose and eyes respectively. Dr.Lee was a lot more conversational, asking me how I was feeling, and chuckling when I said I was nervous. He actually pointed out that my nose was asymmetrical, saying that my left side was flatter than my right which really surprised me. He did some careful line drawings on my nose, and then Dr.Kang came in to ask me how far I’d like my epicanthic cuts to be. Dr.Kang didn’t speak as much, but he was prompt in telling me what incision was possible.


I put on my gown, and did a couple last tests, and I finally laid in their bed awaiting for surgery. A couple minutes later, Stephanie took me out of the room, and Eunice came by and told me she would stay with me until I fell asleep. During the entire process, Stephanie explained what was happening, and Eunice held my hand and rubbed my feet which made me feel a lot better, and then I fell asleep. I woke up later in the clinics bed, and I was bombarded with Stephanie and my friend tapping me so I wouldn’t fall back asleep. My throat was the absolute worst, incredibly dry and I begged Stephanie for some water. She brought in a cup and told me to drink then spit all the water back out, but I kind of drank some of the water since my throat felt like the Sahara desert. I slept for about 2 hours in the bed, and I woke up again at 12 am. Stephanie was the only staff member there, and she helped us get our luggage and stuff back to our Airbnb.



Post op:

Day 1.) I actually wasn’t in pain too much on my first day. There were occasional nose bleeds, but it was relatively minor and I went about drinking Ensure (Pro tip, probs the most smartest decision I made this trip, but Ensure really pulled through with providing me essential vitamins and nutrients needed! I didn’t really have to take anything else since drinking 3 a day already reached my daily needed vitamins!) I put on some medication and took a couple naps. At night, I strolled around my street for a short 10 minutes before I went to the CU convenience store to buy some fruit juice and arrive home to sleep.


Day 2.) I woke up super early in the morning at 5 am haha, as I was anticipating my trip back to Uvom for my post appointment. (I wanted to go back on my first day, but Stephanie told me to come on day 2 unless there was something urgent.) At 11, I went to Uvom and I received my first deswelling treatment (light therapy, which is basically just rainbow colored lights beaming down on my face). After, I went and Dr.Lee came in to check on my nose. He asked me if it hurt, and I simply nodded and he chuckled. The doctors proceeded to take out my nose packings which surprisingly hurt a lot, I kinda cried lol and Dr.Lee put in new packing and replaced the bandages under my nose. Dr.Kang came in and observed my eyes and he made me look at him before he nodded with satisfaction and left.


Day 3 and 4 were sort of uneventful, I swelled a lot on those days after I took several naps and I requested Stephanie if I could get bromelain at the pharmacy. She agreed and I resumed taking walks, on day 4 I managed to walk a lot more and I deswelled quickly. The parks in Korea are so pretty!


Day 5, I returned to the clinic and Stephanie wasn’t there so it was difficult for me to understand the staff, so I had little to communicate. All I did was nod and say yes lol, I did some more light therapy and Dr.Lee came in to take off my cast! I thought I was home free after reading @lipstickarsenal’s review and seeing she had her cast taken off on day 5, but HE PUT THE CAST BACK ON. Sorry ahem, I guess I got a little ahead of myself haha, Dr.Lee kept the cast but the nurse was able to remove my nose stitches which was a great first step. Minimal pain and she was very efficient!


On day 6, I did some more walking and I even went to McDonalds heheh. For anyone curious, McDonalds actually has Pineapple cups! So if you wanted to get some natural bromelain for deswelling a pineapple cup wouldn’t hurt!


Day 7, My appointment was supposed to be that day, I was super excited but it got canceled, cries* It’s okay though, my appointment was moved to Day 8, and I went around Gangnam and ate at my very first restaurant


Day 8, I went to the clinic and once again got deswelling light therapy, Stephanie greeted me once again and I went to the back to get my cast and stitches taken out. Dr.Lee made some conversation and Stephanie was super pleasant and supportive to talk to, so it made me feel less nervous. Dr.Lee finally took off my nose cast and my eyes lit up when I saw the mirror version of myself. My nose went from flat and wide to skinny and more defined and I was super happy with the starting result. It was a bit fat somewhat, but Dr.Lee assured me that it would deswell over time. (Note: not sure if anyone experienced it, but the tip of my nose feels really weird and it felt like numb to any touch). After, Dr.Kang checked on my eyes quickly and asked me if I liked the change to which I agreed, it made my eyes bigger and my eyes weren’t so spaced apart. The nurse took over and removed my eye stitches (it hurt but not too badly) and I was sent on my way!


Day 14- I just went today, and I finally got my stitches taken out of my nose, it was pretty painful haha. I held Stephanie’s hand and we cracked some jokes with the nurse taking out my stitches which lightened the mood. I was worried about any potential infection since my nose bridge had some redness, and Dr.Lee reassured me of the redness but wrote me a prescription for antibiotics at my request since I just wanted to be safe. (Thanks Kino for the advice!)


Honestly, this whole trip to Korea has been so incredibly surreal for me. I have always loved Korean culture and to be able to experience the food, art, shopping, society, etc that I’ve only ever seen through the screen was so heartwarming. Coming for surgery made me feel somewhat apprehensive, and at times I often questioned whether I should just learn how to self love myself was important (which it is! But don’t let that notion stop you from getting surgery, if you want to enhance yourself to raise your self confidence and you’re doing it for yourself, then do it! Uvom is by no means a large clinic, I stayed 10 minutes to places like Grand PS and ID plastic surgery which had tower like buildings devoted to them, in comparison Uvom was on the fourth floor in a more subtle area. However, the staff is incredibly kind and courteous, Dr.Lee and Dr.Kang are super precise and dedicated to what they do, and big shout out to Stephanie for helping me navigate the area by helping me exchange money, calling me cabs, and giving me recommendations on where to visit in Korea. Big shout out to the Kakao 2019 Eyes and Nose group chat and 2019 Rhinoplasty only for giving me a wealth of knowledge and support along the way. Honestly, I’m nervous about how my face will look 10 years from now, but I’m super excited to go out and tackle on what life throws haha.


I’ll let you all know about my progress and feel free to pm me on Kakao through my ID Danbam19, if y’all have any questions. Stay tuned for updated pics, I love y’all. ❤️

Oh, almost forgot lol Here are my current 2 week post ops!

 

Hey there! Your post reminded me a lot of myself when I was younger and resolute on getting surgery haha. I am actually 18 and just did surgery a couple days ago, so I can tell you about my personal experience. Most clinics I have consulted with will either be 1.) fine with 18 as the age since it’s considered adult age, or 2.) they will require some sort of guardian consent. The clinic I went to needed me to call my parents to give me consent to get the surgery since I believe 18 was still considered minor. Reach out to clinics you’re interested in and ask about their policy. View PS I talked to sent me a form to fill and other clinics like MVP simply just couldn’t operate on me so yeah! If your mom is coming with you, you should be fine though so don’t stress too much about it.

 

Wow, I’m at a loss for the words. To those who are victims of botched surgeries, I’m terribly sorry. It’s a nightmare and also such a horrifying reality for so many people who put their hope and trust into surgeons. While I really do sympathize, I just want to note (and correct me if you don’t agree) that we shouldn’t generalize the entire Korean industry for the actions of what seem like many. There’s always going to be cases no matter which country you go to in which there is a medical accident, and it’s so important to do research and try and hope for the best. I empathize that so many people research and there are instances where things go south, and it’s not any of their faults. Should there be stronger penalties and regulation? Absolutely. So please. Let’s not victim blame, and let’s not resort to nasty words that antagonize one another. This forum is for us to help each other out, and I wish the best for everyone. Much love to you all

 

Hey! I’m in the same situation, each clinic will have their own policy, but for the most part yes. I know I asked View and Namu about age, but they wanted me to fill out a form first. (Just asking for guardians to sign and what not). MVP just straight out said 18 was too young, and others said that 18 was okay. You just need to check in with them and see if you could work something out

 

I personally heard discounts for using cash around 10%, but that's because the clinic doesn't have to declare if you paid with cash. But do check and ask about the VAT refund, I'm not sure if it's still going.

People worry about declaring over 10k because customs agents might ask as to why you're bringing such a large amount over to South Korea. I wouldn't be too worried, however, if you can explain that the money is being used for medical tourism in the country (instead of more illegal activities lol) then you should be fine.

 

OKAY day number 2 and feeling rejuvenated, I'll be talking about Namu and Uvom consultations.

For Namu, I heard of this clinic as it had a surge of popularity a couple months back. I heard a lot about Claire in my group chats so I decided to send her a message. A couple hours later Claire replied and she was pretty direct in asking me what I wanted. She could be kind of blunt where it could kind of seem a little rude but all is good lol. I told her I wanted rhino and some kind of procedure for my eyes and she agreed. She actually told me that my eyes were a little wide LOL which stunned me but I ended up just laughing it off, To be honest, I kind of forgot which amount they quoted me but I believe it was 6 mil for rhino and 3 for epicantho and cantho. Totaling to around 9 mil. While she was direct in her answers though, I did have some awkward moments where I sent her messages and she would read it, but she wouldn't answer me, leading me to send an extra little emoji or something to remind her I was still there lol. Overall, Namu was an interesting choice, my friend decided to go there while I was making my decision and while they did her rhino well, I believe she was not satisfied with how they handled post-op as well as dealing with her concerns. ( I don't know too much though since she didn't say much about it, but take this as a grain of salt!)

UVOM- Wheewww the last clinic! I saw Uvom appearing here and there on purse forum and I was pleasantly surprised with their before and afters which looked amazing. I sent them a consult and my consultant was Choi. She was really prompt with answering my messages and her vibe was a mix between the rather funny and flirtatious Stacy from View and the directness from Namu. They quoted me 6.5 mil for rhinoplasty and an additional 1.5 mil for alar reduction. For epicantho they previously told me the price was 1 mil krw, but the actual was 2 mil. Thankfully though, they said it was an error but they will offer it at that rate anyway which was sweet. Overall, there is not much I could note about the consultation other than that it was pleasant and quick, Choi answered pretty quick as well and didn't get mad at me when I asked so many questions.

So that's all the clinics I communicated with! I will be going to Korea next month to get my surgery done so I am praying and hoping for the best! I hope to take pics and maybe a compilation of short snapchat stories to document my trip there! Again let me know if you guys have any advice or questions about anything and let me know where the best place to go shopping for clothes are!!!!!

 

Yeah that's interesting, at the time I asked I was worried since I wasn't legally an adult yet so I was kind of worried about which clinics would allow me to get surgery. View PS just gave me a form to have my parents fill and MVP either said they couldn't or that I had to have parent/guardian accompany me! There was also just a lot of confusion bc you're a year older in Korea so technically you'd be 21 in Korea I guess?
