Just wanted to reply to the original post. Based on what I see on the number of reviews I see on gangnam sister, a few popular places for fg seem to be:
1. Uber Plastic Surgery http://en.uberprs.com/
2. T.O.P Plastic Surgery http://www.topsurgery.co.kr/
3. Naturalism Plastic surgery: http://naturalface.co.kr/

2 and 3 don't seem to have an english website so if you want to visit them you may have to hire a translator if they don't have an english consultant available.

 

How did your consultation go? I saw they have good reviews on Gangnamsister and decided to message them. However, the quotes they gave me are very pricey.... not sure I want to add them on my list of clinics to consult.

 

Namu does is, one girl on kakao did it there and is happy with the results.
I also saw this clinic called Gyalumham (a clinic that was featured in a korean youtuber's fc video) does it. Don't know if that one is good though.

 

Hey,
Do you know who was your dr? I am planning to consult with them later this month.... would you also mind sharing how much it cost you.

Thanks!

 

Hey K Couture,

Do you have access to babitalk? Can you see which clinics are most popular for fg?
So far I'm planning to consult with namu, mvp, and hyundai aesthetics. I've done some research but can't find enough recent reviews...

Any of your insights would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

Hey Cythr,

I'm considering Hyundai for fat grafting and chin lipo. Wondering who was your surgeon and if you were able to negotiate the price as well

thanks

 

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would know if the lip lift using the v to y lip advancement technique is well-known in korea. I am only looking to make my upper lip's cupid bow more pronounced/make it more projected.

So far I've seen more of the bullhorn technique (philtrum reduction), however I have heard it can leave bad scaring and that american surgeons are usually better at it...

Looking for insights or if anyone who had experience with this.
Thanks!

 

when are you going? Can I add you on kakao?

 

What about the procedure that makes your philtrum dimple more pronounced? Would that also leave a mild scar?

 

Hi there,

I am considering doing lip/philtrum surgery to fix my flat and undefined cupid bow, as well fat grafting.

I was wondering if anybody who got these surgeries could share their experience or provide some recommendation.

So far I have only heard about Hyundai aesthetics being good for lip surgery but still I cant find too many reviews about it.

Also if you dont mind sharing the cost please do.

All help is much appreciated

 

Hi Henna, im considering this place for philtrum surgery but also would like to get fat grafting. However, i havnt seen many people going there specifically for fg, would you mind sharing your b/a in PM?

Thank you

 

Thanm you! My kakao ID is the same as my username here

 

Hey, yes I am still swollen on the lower part of my face. It's also kind of stubborn for me...

Right now I will just keep doing daily exercise, drinking lots of water, and eat protein to help with muscle repair because that's all we can really do

 

Hey Viamala,

I did get some kind of discount by getting the full fc package at 8.8 mil (vs 4.4mil for genio+ 4.4 for zygoma + another 4.4 for jaw reduction). However, I am not sure how much it would be with buccal fat removal on top of that so I would ask!

 

Hi everyone,

I am now about 3 weeks post-op and went to do mini vline and zygoma reduction at The Face Dental in December 2018. So far I am happy with the progress of my results and wanted to share my experience/PS journey. I’ll try to keep everything short and sweet

English is not my first language so please forgive my grammar LOL

How did I find out about the clinic?

I started doing research to find reputable clinics that offer vline procedures in South Korea and saw a lot of positive feedback from people who went to TFD. Since I only had a short time available to travel and get my surgery done, I wanted to find a clinic and book my surgery date beforehand. It is not always the best thing to do but I chose to do it since I was confident with my decision and was going during busy season.

My concerns:

*Wide cheekbones (with 1 side sticking out way more) - I disliked the shape of the curve

*A long and wide chin that was out of balance with the rest of my face

My criteria when I was looking for a clinic:

· A clinic that has consistent and reliable good reviews (got positive feedback from real patients I was able to contact personally)

· A small clinic because there is less chance to be treated as “just another customer”

· A Maxillofacial surgeon who is known to specialize in a few procedures and has many years of experience

· A surgeon who understands Western beauty standards and who tends to be conservative (to me this means the surgeon doesn’t take risks)

· A clinic that offers affordable prices to foreigners

Online consultation:

I contacted TFD via Kakao and was surprised that Dr Lee personally answered all my messages. Dr Lee is fluent in English and can without any issue speak it and understand it. Since I had a lot of questions, I also asked him to schedule a skype consultation and he quickly arranged a time to chat. During that Skype consultation he seemed very nice and honest about what can be done based on my expectations, the risks entailed by the procedures, and took time to answer all my questions in detail.

After this initial skype consultation and hearing about previous patients' experiences, I had a very good feeling about the clinic and Dr Lee and decided to put a deposit in order to book my surgery date.

In-person consultation:

I arrived very early in the morning in Seoul and then headed to the clinic to meet with Dr Lee and plan my surgery.

Before meeting with Dr Lee, I got my x-rays and blood work done. Then during the consultation, I discussed again my concerns and expectations about the surgery. What I was worried about was the sagging that can be caused by zygoma reduction. Dr Lee was able to reassure me and told me that considering my young age, skin elasticity, and amount that would be reduced I should not worry about the sagging and risk was very minimal. I also wanted to know how much he planned to shave off my jaw to make sure I can achieve what I wanted. He showed me on the xrays that my nerves were pretty low and that he couldn’t shave a lot. However, he could still meet my expectations (reducing length and width) and achieve natural results. At the end of the consultation I also asked Dr Lee to photoshop one of my pictures, so I could have an idea of my results.

Overall, in-person consultation was great, and Dr Lee was very patient to answer all of my questions, discuss my expectations, and was clear about all the risks entailed by the procedures.

Surgery day:

My surgery was scheduled in the morning. I felt quite nervous as I just couldn’t believe that this day had finally come and never had done PS before. Nevertheless, I knew that I was in good hands with Dr Lee and could trust him with my face.

I met once more with him before the surgery to confirm all the details and then I was taken to the warden to change my clothes and prepare for the surgery. After that, I was taken to the operating room.

After the surgery I woke up from the GA and felt dizzy. I was taken to a clinic room where the nurses kept checking on me every 30min to monitor my vitals and make sure that I wasn’t falling asleep. My throat hurt a lot but I wasn’t allowed to drink water for 4 hours (such a horrible feeling after fasting for over 8 hours lol). I started feeling better little by little until I was finally able to drink water! I stayed about 6 hours in the clinic room until I was discharged.

Post care:

I went to the clinic every 2/3 days for check-ups and the deswelling treatment. Dr Lee personally looked at the progress of my deswelling and made sure again to address any concerns that I had.

On my last check-up he told me he will keep checking on me via kakao when I hit the 2-3months mark and when I visit SK again in the summer.

Overall experience at the clinic:

The nurses were very nice and took good care of me when I was recovering on the day of my surgery. Although they don’t speak much English, they really do their best to make everything go as smoothly as possible and are very sweet!

Dr Lee seem like a very happy and chill doctor, but obviously takes his job seriously. I liked that he was patient, it made me feel at ease. Most importantly, I would say he is very professional, honest, and transparent about expectations vs what can be done and that’s what made me trust him.

So overall, I am very satisfied with the experience I had at the clinic Don't think you could ever go wrong with picking it, Dr Lee is a great surgeon!

Healing:

Day 1 – Day 3: This was the hardest as my swelling was at peak and kept increasing. I also got a lot of bruises and my entire bottom face was purple (I looked like I got beaten up). It was also hard to breath at night during the second and third day as swelling got worse, so I wasn’t able to sleep that well.

Day 4 – day 15: From then my swelling started to get better each day and I could really see an improvement. I was also taking Bromelain to help with the bruising. By day 14, all my bruises were gone!

Day 15- day 21: I haven’t noticed much difference in the swelling. My cheeks are chubby and I also have a slight double chin. However, I have started to get my normal feeling back under my bottom lip and chin.

Note that for my cheekbones I only wanted a slight reduction and improve the symmetry between the two. It is not perfect but at least it's better than before so I am satisfied with it

Hope this helps everyone, and I’ll keep updating on my progress

See below for pictures

 

The clinics mentionned above (all dental):
-The Face dental (I went there for mini vline and also know other people who got double jaw who were very happy with their results)
-Eudental (mixed reviews)
-EverM
-Zeahdental
-Jum

Contact them via kakao, also join the group chats it can be helpful to learn about people's experiences ^^

 

That's one of the worse clinics you could ever choose lol. They are a "factory" clinic, they spend a lot of money on marketing and promotion to attract people but experiences from people who went there is usually terrible (you are just a number to them). Beware of clinics that are big and advertise a lot to foreigners, do your research, there is a lot available on this forum.

 

You should look at dental clinics such as The Face Dental, EU Dental, etc. I don't know them all but my advice is to pick a clinic that specializes in this type of surgery/has a dental/maxillofacial surgeon.

 

December PS group 2018

 

What clinic are you going to?

 

If you want you can add me on kakao, my ID is the same. I can keep you updated with my journey

 

Im going to do vline at TFD and consult at MVP for fg. I will also consult some clinics for skin treatments but idk which ones yet

 

I am leaving on jan 3rd

 

How much did they reduce them for you to experience sagging?
Im currently debating whether or not I want to do this. In my case it would only be a slight reduction... dont know if it's worth taking the risk for a slight change

 

Hi everyone,

I've been interested in doing zygoma reduction for a while (mine are wide around the eyes), however I've conflicted with the idea as there seem to be a lot of side effects that come later (months or even a year after) such as sagging.

As I am interested in knowing about the long-term results, could anyone share how your results evolved months or years after the procedure (or if they didn't).

Thank you
