Thank you Miss Orange! I will check that out.
I’m in Korea now and had one consult with Dr. Kang at JW who is their anti aging specialist. I liked his calm but friendly demeanor as well as Emily the translator. They recommended a face/necklift and endoscopic forehead lift for about 20,000 krw. But immediately offered discounts including the 10% tax at the clinic which apparently is better than the 6-7% at the airport, and another 10% for multiple procedures, so $16281 at the end. I’m hoping that’s a good number because I did like them. I’ll keep you posted if I see any others .

 

Wow, you both look great!

Watermelonyyyy, I’m going to Korea this week! Can you pm me who did your surgeries too? Are you happy?

 

Hi Hautelady,
Koreans often put the last name first, so I thought it was Dr. Jo (also I think I once saw it as Cho), but perhaps it is Dr. Woo . I wonder if he had a noncompete clause in his contract so that after he left, he is not allowed to practice within a certain radius of Dreams facilities for a certain time period. That’s fairly common in the US. Let’s keep each other posted and hopefully someone here knows something.
Anyone else have a great experience with their facelift in Korea? I’m leaving this Sunday. I can post again on what I find there .

 

I’m a plastic surgery newbie and looking for recommendations on who to consult for a face lift in Korea in about 2 weeks (just initial consultations, not the surgery since I’m only there a few weeks with family). I had heard of Dr. Jo Yong Woo of Dreams, but he is no longer listed on their website and I can’t find where he went. It seems many do facelifts, and the information is confusing and overwhelming, yet still feels incomplete. I’m from the US but Korean in ethnicity. I don’t speak Korean fluently, in my late 40s with younger kids, and looking for a doc with excellent education/credentials/skill (aren’t we all?) so I can get good results for my flabby jowls and neckline in a big round face, and get on with my life .
I realized a surgeon can be good, but have his own niche. I’m looking at VIP, JK, and JW, and maybe Dream. Any thoughts or other recommendations?

 

Hi, I am leaving for Seoul end of May for a few weeks to travel with family but recently thought to have some consultations with plastic surgery clinics while there.
My secret hope is I can even do a quick procedure while there for my sagging jowls (I’m pushing 50), jawline definition and chubby cheeks for a reunion a few weeks later .
I’ve heard of the above procedures But the more I try to research, the more confused I feel. Does anyone know of any places or doctors who are well regarded and skilled in these areas?
In the long run, I will probably need to do a facelift, neck lift and zygoma procedure. Maybe it’s better just To have some consults and wait for a more permanent procedure? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!
