I waited till 8 month, as dr recommended me and the result is good. Final results comes after 6 to 1year so if it was an incisional surgery I’ll recommend you to wait till 8 month at least

I wouldn't gauge the service of a clinic based on how fast the email response is from a clinic, as typically the emails will not be answered by doctors themselves. Rather a tip given my others here is to see how much time the doctor spends with you to answer your answers during the consult - hence the need for the F2F - as a doctor who doesn't spend time with you before how much can you really expect after your surgery.

I agree!

Hi guys,

Would like to give an update on my ps. It has been a month since I got my fg and fc done at gng.

Fg- my retention rate is pretty good still. I believe I have a bit more than 50% of fat remaining. Not sure if it is the technique or placement or both of dr Kim’s fg, lots of ppl could tell I got something done. Previously when I got it done by dr park at dream, ppl don’t notice it as much. Dr Kim did placed some in the hollow under my cheeks, which dr park never done that.

My main concern is the lump under my eye. It is still there, and after flying 13hrs home, think it has gotten worse. Really hope it will go away soon. It gives me a swollen eye look.

Also, after the complimentary hydration facial at gng, white small bumps broke out all over my forehead. It is getting better now, but there are still bumps. They think it’s because my skin was so sensitive after the procedure that the facial caused a reaction. I do wish that I didn’t get the facial done now.

Fc- I feel like after the initial 2 weeks the swelling is going down very slowly. I can’t see the final result yet. Although when I feel my jaw, it does feel smooth. But due to some part of the jaw has more swelling than the other, it looks a bit not straight.

Even though there is still some stiffness and tightness were the incisions are made. I am very happy that I could feel everything when I run my fingers along my jaw and chin.

Lastly, I would like to touch on gng’s aftercare briefly.

All the nurses are very patient and gentle. None of my stitches removal were painful.

Got my thighs stitches taken out 2 weeks post surgery. Dr choi suggested taking out the mouth stitches one week post. I waited till the 2nd week to take them out. Since most of the stitches will be dissolved by then and your mouth incisions are less sensitive at that time.

I am so glad to have henny as my translator on my last visit. She did a wonderful job. Very on top of things and efficient. She made sure that I got everything that I needed and all my questions answered before departing korea.

It seems like everyone's surgery experience is different. It's important to take each good, negative, or mixed review with a grain of salt, because what didn't work for someone can work for someone else. Why? Because each person is different, has different desires, and also has a different "condition" she is starting out with? I wanted plastic surgery done to correct some features I had and improve an already pretty good set of features. ITEM's Dr. Kim was honest and not salesy, conservative yet impactful in his observations of my face. He didn't agree with getting additional things done, like alar reduction or fat graft.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE
I am BEYOND happy with my amazing results at ITEM Clinic. I highly recommend ITEM Clinic for eye surgery and nose surgery. I got epi/lateral/ptosis correction and rhino/tip/paransal implants last February and could not be happier. While it sounds like a lot, it basically comes down to small various procedures done for my eyes and nose. My eyes looks bigger and pretty! My eyelids are still slightly swollen but even still, I am beyond happy with the results. I went with Dr. Kim, who measured my eyes, made recommendations for the amount of length he would "open" up my eyes. Dr. Kim also did my rhino/tip, simply a refinement of what I had before - just a more narrow and defined tip with a tiny bit of length added. My nose also has a fine, elegant curve to it, which I LOVE! My family loves my results, especially my hubby, which makes me laugh because he was really against p. surgery for the longest time.

This has been such a life-changing experience. I would love to share pics but would rather not share on the website. Just a note that, my surgery has transformed my self-confidence. I actually love to not wear makeup; my non-makeup look is even prettier than my full face of makeup days. While I was actually pretty - with makeup - before, I feel like the surgery has taken me to the next level and given me the "Korean superstar" look I have always dreamt of but never thought possible. Dr. Kim was conservative enough to not completely change me, but "touch up" my appearance to a few levels above what I was before. It seems like the surgeries have been somewhat of a different experience for many, but I think you can't go wrong with this small, boutique clinic. I can't really speak for the other clinics; I'm sure they deliver good results here and there.

I also consulted with Grand and was impressed by their clinic (almost went with Dr. Rhee), but couldn't help but be drawn to the before/after pics at ITEM. Grand had a very beautiful, elite, multi-story building, lush interiors, and very friendly staff. Extremely professional. But for some reason, I felt drawn to the 'craft' of ITEM.

Ultimately, ITEM is able to tailor the look you want, as long as you come with specifics, pictures, characteristics, etc. Do your research! Not for a month but for several months (I researched for six months ahead of time - various procedures, surgeons, certain looks I want vs. I want less of). I personally loved ITEMs results, felt the looks were a bit more closer to what I wanted to achieve (flawless yet natural at the same time). Dr. Kim was a little brusque and busy, but he was honest, advised against unnecessary procedures that would "hurt" my current look, which he deemed "good" as-is. His philosophy is more conservative, which I liked. The clientele that comes through ITEM is often locals (less foreigners) - and the 2-3 floors seem busy and packed, which is probably a great sign. ITEM is a smaller clinic but still a more 'niche' clientele, in the heart of Sinsa (plastic surgery burrow).

Evelyn was the consultant who talks you through pricing on Kakao, meets with you to discuss the surgeries, sets up the appointments, and is your 'buddy' in the entire process. She was extremely positive, friendly, funny, and very very calming. She said I reminded her of her cousin! For me, the surgeries were a little scary, the eye surgery was a tad painful (being honest), and the stitch removals hurt like F. But, she was there to hold my hand and calm my nerves. I also had the worst bruising and swelling out of most of the patients they've seen (literally "hit like a bus" look for the first 7 days), but my bruising and swelling went down significantly after 10 days and I literally transformed from monster to beauty by the time I was back home in the states.

Feel free to DM me if you want more details!

Nah no way man. Fresh doesn't have even have a real plastic surgeon. Their doctor is just a GP doctor. Apparently in Korea it is legalized for GP to do small things like liposuction and fat graft. The doctor that do the nose and eyes surgery there is someone they hire in every now and again like a casual worker. Super expensive prices for a GP and lots of photoshopped pictures. They tried to tell my friend she could do facial lipo and it would be as good as a zygoma reduction, it only made her cheekbones look bigger and more obvious. They even lied and said they could use the fat they took out from the face to do fat graft and all the fat died. We later found out no one uses fat from the face to do grafting because it does not last at all. Ask any real plastic surgeon this to confirm

Wow.. Thanks for sharing that
