Honestly I can't believe how expensive 365 is. So far I'm thinking of going with The Line - they have reduced the price a bit more for me and I am hoping that face to face they will be able to go lower again. I'll share my results once I have the consultation. It's on July 2nd so I'm both excited and terrified.

 

Hey Jess - do you mean for Dream? 12 000 000 krw is for 3 parts of the body, abdomen, flank and back.

 

Dream sent me their quote:

-Liposuction (abd.flank.back) :12,000,000KRW

7% Tax refund is possible after surgery.

And above price includes consultation, body test for anesthesia(CAT scan,X-rays, Blood test, urine test), surgery, anesthesia fee, medication, post operation treatments, sending service to hotel.

 

Dream sent me their quote:

-Liposuction (abd.flank.back) :12,000,000KRW

THE LINE sent me an additional email about additional costs:

Compression garment fee KRW 420000 (USD 379) each

This seems RIDICULOUSLY high!!! Have people paid this? did you order online instead?

Over weight charge is applicable for KRW 165000 (USD 149) per kg overweight

Doesn't 150 usd per kilo overweight seem outrageously high? Has anyone else come across this before?

 

JK Plastics sent me their quote:

Back Liposuction: 7,500,000 KRW
Abdomen : 6,000,000KRW
Flank Liposuction: 4,500,000 KRW
*Compressed garment: 200,000 KRW / piece

(I posted this in the quote thread as well - but doesn't 200,000 seem really high for a compression garment? don't you also need 2 - one for when you first get out of the hospital and a smaller size for when the swelling goes down?)

The Line also sent me an additional message about additional costs:

Compression garment fee KRW 420000 (USD 379) each

(This compression garment is even MORE expensive :O )

Over weight charge is applicable for KRW 165000 (USD 149) per kg overweight

Has anyone else ever come across this overweight charge for lipo? This seems really high!!! 150 PER kilo? That's ALOT of money

 

Got my quote from JK Plastics

Back Liposuction: 7,500,000 KRW
Abdomen : 6,000,000KRW
Flank Liposuction: 4,500,000 KRW
*Compressed garment: 200,000 KRW / piece

200 000 for a compression garment seems really high - has anyone had to pay this amount for a garment? Don't you also need 2 garments? One size for when you first get out and one size smaller as you start deswelling?

 

They didn't even tell me if it's vaser or something else - just that price is like triple the price The Line quoted me. Seems wayyyy too high!!!

 

Yes please. Can you send me the information for Pretty Body Clinic in PM? Thank you so much!

 

YES! I think I read one of your posts about Pretty Body Clinic - but when I tried to look for them online - I couldn't find ANY information at all.

Did they speak English or have an English translator? Would you suggest that I go to the bigger clinics so that I can communicate with them?

 

Hey I'm looking to do 3d lipo for abdomen, flank, back, bra-line. Here are the two quotes I've received so far.

Abdomen :KRW 4,150,000 (USD 3,744)

Back+Love-handle (Corset) :KRW 2,500,000 (USD 2,256)

Bra-line :KRW 2,500,000 (USD 2,256)

This is the insanely high price breakdown for 365mc:

Whole abdomen + Love handle :KRW 10,120,000 (USD 9130)

Whole(Backward convex S in case of full back) :KRW 5,940,000 (USD 5359)

Bra line (stand alone)(Based on abdomen) :KRW 5,060,000 (USD 4565)

 

Hey Everyone,

Since I'll be in Seoul on July 1st and will start to do face to face consultations - I figured now would be a good time to do online consultations - sending out inquiries and photos to the 5 clinics I have narrowed down my choices to. So Far I'm looking at The Line, 365mc, JK, TL & Dream.

If anyone has any experience having body lipo from any of these places - please let me know your experiences. Also if you think any of the quotes look good or outrageous - please let me know! I am happy to hear any feedback possible!

This is the price breakdown for The Line:

Abdomen :KRW 4,150,000 (USD 3,744)

Back+Love-handle (Corset) :KRW 2,500,000 (USD 2,256)

Bra-line :KRW 2,500,000 (USD 2,256)

This is the insanely high price breakdown for 365mc:

Whole abdomen + Love handle :KRW 10,120,000 (USD 9130)

Whole(Backward convex S in case of full back) :KRW 5,940,000 (USD 5359)

Bra line (stand alone)(Based on abdomen) :KRW 5,060,000 (USD 4565)

I'll post the other quotes once the other clinics send me the emails.

 

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has ever had lipo done at JK plastic surgery? They have some good before/afters of 360 lipo done on westerners who were pretty overweight - so I just want to know if it's a reputable company and if I should bother including them in my f2f consultations?

Also has anyone had experience with TL, pretty body clinic and Dream? So far I only really read about 365 and the line - but both of those options seem really $$$

Thank you!!!

 

Hey!!!

Yes I'm super down to meet up. Unfortunately I do not have Kakao . Do you use Whatsapp? or Fb messenger?

 

I'm not sure if it's busy season I hope that it's not a big problem.

I am not positive where I'm going yet. So far I want to check out 365mc, The Line, JK, pretty body clinic, Dream and TL. I'll be contacting them online in a week or so before I get to Seoul so if they outright say no - then I can pare down my list. I really want to go to 365mc since they specialize in lipo and body fat stuff - but I hear that they are also the most $$$ so we'll see.

 

I'm currently in Korea now until the end of August - I'll arrive in Seoul around July 1st!! Hopefully will do consultations in that first week and then go in for surgery if they give me the ok.

 

Wow! thanks for all of that information - that's probably the most information someone has specifically given me about full body lipo/lipo. I've seen information about fat cells in other areas growing once specific areas are taken out.

I'll keep all of that in mind when I go to all of the consultations and see what they say. I will also start watching my diet more thoroughly. Thank you so much for your advice and information, I really appreciate it!

 

Thank you for the clarification. It helps to hear that you also heard a similar thing. The unfortunate thing though is that I've been training for over 4 years now and though I've gained an insane amount of muscle - especially in my legs; my stomach still bulges out. That's why I really wanted to focus on that area for lipo - because it's stubborn and no matter what I do - it doesn't go anywhere.

 

Can you please expand on the experience that you found with My Seoul Secret? Did you ask for prices from the hospitals prior to reaching out to My Seoul Secret?

Any additional information would be super helpful

 

I have run three triathlons and train with a personal trainer 5 times a week. The extra weight that my body is holding is from being extremely overweight when I was younger - I'm 33 now. So the areas that I want to get lipo are areas where no matter what kind of lifestyle/diet I have can change. Which is why I am going for lipo to focus on those specific areas.

 

Hello Everyone!

I am currently in Busan travelling and will slowly make my way to Seoul over the next month. Then I will spend 2 months in Seoul - to get my surgery and recover.

I am pretty overweight at 5 foot 3 and 83 kg. I want to get liposuction on my abdomen, flank, back, bra line and upper arms (from the armpit on - the chicken wing part lol).

So far the clinics I want to check out are The line, 365mc, pretty body clinic, Wonjin, Dream and TL. Does anyone have any experience with these clinics? Would you suggest one over the other? What about the pricing structure of each place (if you have any information)

My friend who is Korean gave me some great advice (but it scared the **** out of me). She got v-line so even though she was able to give me lots of information about the hospital experience - she has no experience with lipo.

She said that a lot of Korean surgeons lie - can show you before/after photos from a different surgeon or photoshopped images. That I should not be afraid to record conversations and get things in writing.

She told me some horror stories of friends of hers not getting after care and that if something went wrong the hospital sided on the surgeon's side and said that the patient did something wrong and ignored them.

Has anyone had these experiences? How do you ensure you aren't getting duped by the surgeon? How do you ensure the information is correct?

I have a bunch of questions that I want to ask the surgeon - are there any questions that you think that I am missing that are important? Do you have any answers that surgeon's have given you in the past?

The questions are as follows:
Accredation of the clinic/doctor - make sure that the doctor is also accredited under them as well.
(how do you do this? Is there a site to check? does anybody know how to do this?

Where surgeon graduated
Where got certified
What he graduated and certified for

What is my emergency plan in korea?
Has anyone had emergent experiences in Korea? Did you just go to the emergency room? did you go back to the clinic? Did you go back to your country? I plan on travelling for an additional year after surgery - so don't have any plans on going back to North America soon.

Focus more on the doctor's depth of experience, academic background, number of cases in your surgery area, revision/dissatisfaction rate, whether it is a proven surgical method that guarantees the results you want and the look of previous clients than the look of the building, the consultants or whether the surgeon is 'nice'.
Skin contraction*** (Post care -> massage, contraction wear etc)
After care - laser for skin tightening
Even liposuction - so if I gain weight it distributes evenly!!!
General anesthesia recommended?
Complications?
Pneumonia - how often this happens?
Clots (one leg fine one leg numb)
Shortness of breath
Contour irregularities ***
Tissue healing irregularities ***
How soon to carry heavy bags?! Eg 4-6 weeks?!? (I have a giant 25 kg backpackers backpack with me and a small 7 kg backpack on the front)
How long to be able to do Mountain climbing etc** Nepal/Tibet (we plan on trekking through Everest & Lhasa)
How many surgeries do you do a day? (If too many - then they may not take the time to be considerate with you)

Also do you suggest that I hire a Korean male translator to go with me? I see a lot of posts where people suggest bringing a Korean male friend - as it will help the bargaining for price. But I don't have any male Korean friends - only my one female Korean friend.

Sorry for all of the questions & taking the time to read my post!!! I'm so so so nervous and just want to make the right decision. My boyfriend is here but he's so scared about this procedure and even though he's being supportive of me doing it - I can't rely on him to help me make sound decisions. I have had two breast reductions in the past and even though I'm happy with the shape - the incision scars are awful and healing super slowly (I'm asian so am prone to Keloid scarring - which is exactly what happened) and want to have a better result with lipo. I've been dreaming about lipo my entire life.

 

To be honest - even though I've been doing research for years - I still haven't fully decided on where to go.

The top choices I have so far are: The line, 365mc, pretty body clinic, Dream and TL

The line and 365mc are my favourites - but I think that they are also the highest costing. So I'm not sure how I feel about that and I also don't want to just be treated as a "number" and not get quailty care.

 

Yes I'd like to follow this forum as well! I am currently in Busan and will be making my way to Seoul over the next month - where I hope to get lipo done on my abdomen, flanks, bra line and lower arms. But there is so much conflicting information about docfinderkorea. So many people say - use docfinderkorea, so many people say - do it yourself.

I only have one more month left to make the decision (even though I've been researching for years)

Looking forward to hearing people's opinions!
