Thread Starter is a foreigner living in Korea as she said that gives recommendations through DMs and gets commission from the clinics that she is able to get people to go to, which is illegal btw. She makes new accounts to communicate through DM and refuses to give her Kakaotalk id so it's seems pretty sketchy. Also I would advise to get surgery first before agreeing to meet her, otherwise she will get commission from the hospital if you send her your information. @rosalind66 @brewsuzie

Why did your friend have surgery at YKPS?
Is the doctor famous? There is only one doctor who do all the surgeries.

Hi guys, does anyone know if clinics will ask for our ID (e.g. passport, driver's license) when we have face-to-face consultation with them?

if possible, I don't want to reveal my full name to them before I decide to book a surgery there. If after f2f consultation with the doctor, I don't feel like choosing that clinic, I don't want them to know my personal data.

Could someone here enlighten me on this matter please?

It depends on clinics.

Purseforum seems to be one of the largest gatherings of Korean plastic surgery enthusiasts on the web (at least the largest I've ever seen.) There is such a massive amount of information being stored here and I don't quite think it's being regulated/organized as properly as it should be.

Plastic surgery clinics (not just Korean clinics) get away with A LOT due to lax laws and the amount of horror stories I've seen crop up here alone is unacceptable. There has to be a better way to protect patients.

And while reading reviews on Purseforum and Realself might seem like a good idea, there are several reasons why that alone usually isn't enough for somebody to make an informed decision about which doctors/clinics to trust.

In all honesty, I wish the Asian Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Procedures forum had a PINNED post detailing the basics and red flags you should look out for while beginning your Korean PS journey. Some of our most informative threads are hidden under piles of fake reviews from clinic staff. That being said, I'll probably contact an admin about implementing this.

Some things I wish we could cover in the pinned post:

Clinic Before & After: Most before and after shots that clinics post on social media are heavily photo-shopped. A lot of people don't realize this (and it may seem obvious) but we should constantly address it. My "after" shots at Regen were taken when I was 2 weeks in and heavily swollen. I have no idea how they intend to use those (I looked ridiculous lmao) but if it ends up on their websites, please note that it's been warped and airbrushed to hell and back. I'm assuming this is the case with many other patients.

"Real" Reviews: There are a fair share of reviews on this forum written by promoters or clinic staff. It's undeniable. Perhaps there could be an easy verification process for making sure the review is being written by the patient rather than staff? (When I agreed to review my own procedures with REGEN they told me they could "write my review" if I felt lazy and that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. )

DocfinderKorea: This service is promoted everywhere and I don't think Korean PS babies (my gentle word for "newbs" lol) understand that they can easily navigate Korea without it. Korea is very accommodating to foreigners. The street signs, trains, and menus tend to all be in English/Chinese. There are English map apps (Kakaomap) if you need help getting around by GPS! And a lot of Korean residents are multi-lingual. And if most clinics offer translation, transportation, laser treatments, etc. by default without paying extra. It's also pretty well-known that DocfinderKorea directs folks to major factory clinics (clinics you should probably avoid) like ID and Cinderella without paying attention to a customer's individual needs. I don't know if that's because they have a partnership with them or what but it's fishy. Either way, it's just not worth it to pay extra for something you're already going to get for free.

BlackListed Clinics: To be honest, there are only about a handful of clinics that can be blacklisted with substantial proof of malpractice. ID, Cinderella, Wonjin, and GNG, and YKPS. The patients stories are here on our own forums. But if -anybody- has any proof of malpractice or downright garbage work by a surgeon, there should be a PINNED list of links directing forum users to those stories (with poster consent, of course)

Facial Sagging: A lot of people come here for V-line or Zygoma work. That's a Korean PS specialty. When I had my consultations in Korea, facial sagging (drooping skin from loss of bone mass) was not covered. Sometimes doctors will bring it up, but it seems to be brushed over. THIS IS NOT A LIGHT ISSUE. Facial sagging will happen more likely than not, and you have to have cash set aside for face-lift procedure if in fact it happens to you. Otherwise you'll look aged. I don't think this is made obvious enough and there needs to be a PINNED POST.

If anybody can think of any other important topics that need to be brought up, you can post em' here. I'm just really sad that all this crucial information is being completely buried.

Hi all, I'll be in Korea mid July and was thinking of doing my non surgical rhinoplasty at GNG. Can't seem to find much information about non surgical procedures online, could someone please add me to the Kakao talk as well? Thanks!

Non surgical rhinoplasty? Do you mean filler?

MasakowaLove said: ↑

I definitely not a fake LOL
Everybody welcome to ask me any question in Katok (pm me for ID

And yeah, it was my concern as well before doing rhinoplasty (my first surgery at GNG), there were many positive reviews and no single negative one... I though it is suspicious coz their website and hospital operate for many years and how come nobody was disappointed I though. But finally I undergo rhinoplasty and 2 weeks after surgery my doubts vanished - I was already happy with what I though. When I did go for Jaw (V-Line) surgery and fat grafting I already knew that GNG do a good job (on my own experience) and I trusted them.

This is a gift cake which I brought to Dr.Choi and Dr.Kim when I visited Seoul in April ^_^

I think I saw your photo on GNG's instagram.
Is she a promotion model?

Too many good review and bad reviews without evidence. Suspicious

It's a sponsored surgery, I saw her picture on GNG's Instagram. You can find out if a lot of surgeries are sponsored just by checking their social media and blog pages or by reverse searching the picture through Google.

Oh....

April 26, 2018

is GNG hospital also the same?

Ririna said: ↑

That's depressing. I'm not even looking to get rhinoplasty in Korea but GNG lying like that puts me off. Did Mia say whether or not she has to get another revision rhino? And yes the overabundance of GNG sponsored surgeries this past year is suspect. I'm trying to avoid clinics who put a large effort in promoting (though it's kinda hard, because almost every clinic has done sponsored surgeries. )

MissOrange said: ↑

I can't believe the gng translator wrote that. Mia was so depressed. Gng doesn't even mention mia had to be restitched. Gng has so many shills on pf working overtime. Please everyone who has seen mia's nose knows it is not just swelling. Why risk your nose for 13 million won? I have seen many noses once the cast is removed and hers was the worst!

Is this also fake review or sponsor?

April 19, 2018

That's true.

theplastics said: ↑

The only reason im comparing is because I have not seen one before and after pic of GNG surgery besides whats on their blog snd website, and all reviews outside of that are just written, which makes me nervous that they may be faked. Also the fact that they seem slow in correspondence. Why would you say GNG is better??
