I'm going to do my revision rhinoplasty @ VG.
This is my first time to get direct consultation with the Surgeon ( Dr.IM Y M ). He patiently answered my questions via LINE. Then he asked details about my previous surgery as well and explain about my revision. I found out the real story on YouTube, one of the Korea boys has asymmetric alar & Dr.IM correct it nicely. Another thing is VG have in house anesthesiologist & life support ( AED).

Post-Op
On the third day, I had my nose pack removed and cleaned the insides of my nose. Removing the nose packing was the worst and painful experience I had throughout the entire rhinoplasty journey. The nurse at GNG (short hair? I forgot her name) was very gentle because she knew I was in so much pain. She went very slowly but it was still hurt so much, it felt like someone was tearing my nose apart. (I ended up crying...haha) Once it was removed, I thought I would be able to breathe, but my nose was still stuffy and runny for the next couple of days. Every one is different and will experience things differently, such as they will be able to breathe as soon as the packing is removed from inside the nose or they do not have a runny nose. On the 7th day, my external stitches and cast were scheduled to be removed, however, I had stitches inside my nose that are to be dissolved over time (1 month - 3 months?). This entire process was painless. There was the purple marker mark that was drawn by Dr. Seong still on my nose bridge was under the cast. The nurse tried to remove it with wipes but was unsuccessful. (I had to go back to the hotel and use a cleansing oil/makeup remover to erase the mark. It took me forever...because the marker was very stubborn) Dr. Seong came in to see how I was recovering and he said I was doing very well. I expressed my concerns about the way it looked because I was unhappy with the shape, but that was because it was super swollen. My nose looked like a rectangle due to the swelling. I continued to walk around and drink lots of fluids for the remainder of my trip to help with the swelling and the bruising under my eyes. The bruising was not present on the first 3 days after the surgery. It became noticeable after the fourth day until the twentieth days post surgery. I have arranged with DocFinder Korea to see Dr.Seong before my departure. I got to GNG, however, Dr. Seong was in surgery and I was unable to see him before I left. Although I did get to see the consultant and was told that everything is okay and I was healing very well. DocFinder Korea team has scheduled a pickup from my hotel to the airport (complimentary).

Three Months Post-Op
Today, I admire my nose so much as it has de-swelled significantly. The results are VERY close to what I wanted. My bridge of my nose is very narrow. The tip of my nose has a very tiny upward slop and my alars are noticeably smaller. I can't wait to see how it looks in the next couple of months. I do not miss my old nose and I thank the team in DocFinder Korea and GNG Hospital. Can't wait until I hit the 6-month mark. I heard from my other friends that you won't see the final result until after the 6month to 1-year mark.

Some Random Facts about my recovery
- I slept elevated for the first week after surgery so I would not roll on my nose and I think it was advised by the nurses. (I snored a lot because of it)
-It's hard to wash your face properly with the cast on. I used facial wipes to cleanse my face
- I could not smell or taste food for the first 1.5 weeks
- My nose was runny for over a week
- GNG will provide you with medication to be taken daily for 7 days such as painkillers, vitamin C, laxatives and etc.
- I CAN FINALLY BREATHE!
- I hated that I was not able to drink while in Korea. Alcohol is a no-no when you want to deswell~

What I recommend to bring/buy
-Cotton swabs to clean the insides of your nose and to apply disinfecting ointment for the stitches. They provide you with some but not enough!
-Cleansing Oil to remove marker lines
-Polysporin or other scar gels for after the stitches are removed
-Facial Wipes
-Anti-Dust/Surgical mask. (GNG will provide a couple)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I will try my best to answer.

Hello guys

My English isn't perfect, but I will write as long of a review as I can to talk about my experience. I have been using this forum for my reseasrch for a long time, and I always promised myself I would give back to the community cause I recived a lot of help from you guys. I spent about 4 years thinking about plastic surgery and 2 years actually looking into it and looking into which place was the best for me.

My surgeries of choice
1. Nose. I had a huge hump nose for as long as I could remember and on top of that my nose was like an arrow whenever i would smile. i had to get rid of it because it was such a problem for me when i was smiling or laughing. I felt like my nose was like a strong arrow and thats all everyone could see. Most importantly, it was all that I could see when ever I looked at my photos. I used to purposely smile iwthout showing teeth because I worried if I showed my teeth then my nose would become more arrow with a bigger smile. Hope that makes sense >< I dont know how to explain it well

2. Eyes. I never really knew what ptosis was. I always though I just needed eyelid surgery to correct my asymmetry. One of my eyelid is ok but the other is not and its like sunken. But after years of research I realized I needed ptosis eyelid surgery to correct my heavy, droopy eyes.

The clinics I went to
I contacted so many clinics that I would get confused and I couldn't remember which clinic said what or who said whatever. haha it was pretty bad. I think I contacted maybe 20 or more. Among these, the top places I was considering to go was GNG Hospital, TL, April 31, ID, and Grand. In the end, I chose GNG Hospital

Among those five, two were off my list almost completely (I will refrain from saying where). They're huge and extremely "luxurious" ... I get it. but I did not feel comfortable with all the patients going in and out. I mean doctors are human too. So how can they remember all their patients. It was a beautiful clinic, don't get me wrong... but it totally lives up to it's "Factory" rep. I did notttt feel comfortable there. I met with the doctor but both places were really similar. Really long wait but very, very short consultation. You can see that their time was very important to them, and wasting it was not an option. Overall, pretty unpleasant experience. T

he other two were ok and I was pretty torn between them but in the end I just decided to go with GNG Hospital since I felt more comfortable with them and one of my local friends had a pretty good result wiht them too. Also, for me, I care about the function of my nose too because as much as cosmetic is important too, overall health function of the nose is just as improtant and GNG Hospital is not just a clinic, and it is where many Korean locals go for surgery, not just foreigners and my frined is Korean too so I know it is one of the best palces to go. And I heard some people they have problems with breathing after a bad nose job, so I trust ENT plastic surgeons

Consultation
I didn't need a translator but they hooked me up with one anyway and she's born in the states so it was nice to have a foreign friend to get an unbiased opinion rather than just a Korean worker. The consultant was really professional and she didn't make me feel like i was being sold something. I even said I needed time to think about it and she told me to do more research and let her know when I decided. I felt really reassured by that because one of the other places I went to threatened me saying they could only give me a discount if I let them know that day haha.

I met with my nose and eyelid doctor. The eyelid doctor had a very serious face, so i felt intimidated at first, but actually out of all the pclinics i went to, i swear he spent the most time with me. he even started drawing for me how the surgery would be cause at times i got so confused. He was really honest and didn't sugar coat anything by telling me what was possible an dwhat wasnt. I felt like that was what sold me the most because I wanted honesty and a more realistic answer.

My nose doctor didnt really say much but he showed me my scans on the X ray and CT . it was pretty cool cause i got to see the inside and outside and they let me know about my internal airflow(?) and what they could do to correct my nasal congestion.

Surgery day
I was gonna be hospitalized a night, but my aunt took me home and the doctor allowed it but told her to contact the hospital immediately if there was an issue. I wish I stayed though because after I woke up from surgery, I was soooo sooo soo tired and I just wanted to rest. My aunt was very persistant that I needed to go home tho haha. I think the pain wasnt as bad as I expected, but it was so uncomfortable. I couldnt breathe and I was very nauseous and I could only breathe from my mouth. It was pretty difficult, but still not as painful as I expected. Just realluy uncomfortable.
pain 2/10
discomfort 9/10

Having to get up and go home after surgery was such a terrible experience. if you can stay overnight and be hospitalized, i highly recommend it. Thankfully GNG Hospital offers 1-2 nights hospitalization. Un-thankfully my aunt thought it would be better for me to be looked after at home haha

Overall surgery result
I wish I wrote this review sooner. I always thought about doing it and I even promised I would right away. but I guess I got caught up in life and eventually forgot about the community that once helped me >_< Anyway, I am already over half a year post-op and I think it took a month for my swelling to settle down enough. I can see I am still swollen and when I look back at my 3rd and 4th and 6th month post op picture, I can see I was more swollen than I actually thought at the time. These days many of my friends and family and people I dont even know say I got so pretty!! It really raised my confidence because no one used to say like that to me. I am so happy and thankful to my doctors and I know it will keep getting better

Anyway, I am very happy with my result and I am sorry I could not have shared it more clearly earlier. I hope everyone has a good surgery and good result. Sorry for my bad english!!

I wish everyone luck!

I wouldnt recommend JK or the docfinder
1. JK Their marketings are great and spend good enough of money to provide all those awards but the fact is they are not that great with the results
I do understand their facilities are amazing, nice, but about the results,,,,ehy..
2. Docfinder I'm not saying anything bad about them but If i were you I will not go with agencies unless they have some special language services that you need such as thai, burmese, etc.,
best way is go byurself
because most of clinics have their own language translator so there will be no language barrier with yall
