Hello~
Did anyone have double jaw surgery? Please share your experience.
I have (not so severe) protruded lips and I think thats because of my bone structure. And I am wearing braces but not sure it can help much.

I think your surgery was successful! They did the nose and forehead well.
You are looking good and will definitely look better. Congrats~

Hi Stephanie! I'm glad that you are healing well. I want to have forehead reduction too, how do you like yours?

Hello Hello,

Purseforum has played a fundamental role in choosing my rhinoplasty clinic and doctor in Seoul, so I hope sharing my experience will help a lot of you choosing your clinic.

Before coming to Seoul, I was overwhelmed by the number of different rhino clinics that I should consult. I did a lot of research in a lot of clinics, and the surgeons that worked there.

I decided that I wanted to go to a small/medium side clinic with a doctor who had a lot of experience and is very safe.

I booked three consultations with Uvom, The View, and GNG.

The View were super sweet organizing the consultation. We communicated back and forth in Kakao. I really liked the consultant who worked there. She was very attentive and caring.

Talking to GNG in Kakao, the consultant was not as personal as The View. I felt like they were not that interested in making the experience personable and enjoyable. It seemed to be more of a numbers game for them. I was attracted to them, because I liked the work of the doctor.

Third, I consulted on Kakao with Susan from Uvom for about a month before my consultation. She was very sweet and took the time to answer any questions I had. I was also very impressed by the doctor's credibility. Uvom was not heavily marketed to foreginers like GNG and The View, which was not a problem for me.

My first consultation when I arrived in Seoul, was with Uvom. Uvom is a small / medium size hospital that focuses on improving functionality first. Then aesthetics second. This was very important to me, as I wanted to be able to breathe clear. Uvom give a natural approach to noses, and that is what I wanted. The doctor I chose was Dr Lee Jung Soo, the owner of the practice.

I discussed with Susan, and another consultant, what I hoped to achieve from this surgery. They took their time to talk to me, to address all my concerns. Then, the doctor came in to speak with me for about 10 minutes. I understand he is very busy, but as soon as I met him, I had a gut feeling that he was the doctor for me. He was very humble, and knowledgeable in his work. He examined my nose and explained to me what could be done to fix it.

I was with Uvom for about 3 hours. I always follow my gut, and I knew there and then, to cancel my other two consultations with The View and GNG, and book in surgery with Uvom. We booked the surgery for two days away.

On the day of the surgery, I spoke with Susan and she calmed me and reassured me. Susan explained that they were going to use Sleep sedation and local anesthesia on me, as this has a lot lower risk than general anesthesia. We went to the surgery room. I fell straight asleep once injected, and when I woke up, it was all over.

I rested in their bed for an hour. They gave me gauzes and earbuds to keep my nose clean. Medication was not included with Uvom. However, Susan kindly went to the pharmacy and collected the medication i needed with my money. (It was not that expensive)

Then I traveled back to my air bnb. Travel costs were also not included as part of the surgery.

The next day (Day 2), I went back to Uvom for a Vitamin Injection Drip, and for LED deswelling treatment. The nurses cleaned my nose.

Today is Day 3. I went back to Uvom today for another LED deswelling treatment. The doctor removed some stints from my nostril and the nurse cleaned my nose with like a suction device, so now I can breathe better again.

I am going back to see the doctor on Monday (Day 6). The doctor will hopefully remove all the stints then.

Overall, I am very pleased that I chose Uvom so far. There were no foreigners in the waiting room any of the days, just local people. It is hard to see the shape of my nose now with the bandages. I will keep you updated when I get my bandage off. Hope this helps

hi @Raussi!

I also have the same protruded eyes caused by high myopia, and have been looking into orbital decompression by EFIL as well, which has a nice-looking website and Before&After photos. I am also skeptical, and i haven't found any reviews about them online in English-speaking sites (e.g.Purseforum, RealSelf). Unless there's some reviews about EFIL written in Korean or Chinese?

I enquired about prices for orbital decompression at EFIL and another US surgeon called Dr Ray Taban, but the prices are high, and I would need more time to save up the money and hope for any more reviews from real patients to appear, because I've been told by a doctor friend that orbital decompression is a very risky surgery.

I suggest that you make your own enquiries at EFIL, because the price quotations can vary wildly, and then you can private message me for more discussion.

Thank you a lot!!!!!!!!!!
And also, sorry for late reply. So did you send them pictures of your eyes? And about the price, is it higher than facial contouring? I know it'll take me long to save up money but I am very curious and just wanna set a clear goal. And according to some articles I read online, this type of surgery is not risky. I don't know whether to believe or not but exophthalmos surgergy does sound complicated right?

Ok i have to admit that this type of surgery is not popular at all. But I know that a lot of people have protruded eyes, why none takes this into consideration??

I can private message you but not until my full swelling goes down because I had so much surgeries on my face I feel like it isn’t the full results yet. Especially my nose.

Be very clear to the doctors the look your going for. Do you just want an improvement of your face? Or do you want a dramatic change? Are you trying to look more mature? Or are you trying to look younger. Do you want sharp features or rounder features. This is all very important things to get across to the doctors so he can understand your aesthetics.

Hello, I wonder how long you have to stay in the hospital? Also I really hope to see post surgery picture, of course, if you dont bother~

I have big, protruded eyes because of nearsightedness but I rarely see any topic about budging-eye surgery experience. I'm planning to have a surgery in Korea (since exophthalmos surgery has not been available in my country) and the only clinic that I found out is EFIL. I think their results look quite good but I'm still skeptical since there is too little information.
Please share with me if you know anything about this type of surgery!! Thanks a lottt~
