I need to know more about bad reviews on rhinoplasty by GNG... I really want to be discouraged from going there... I am considering Dr. Hong... Does he have bad reviews too?

Click to expand...

I feel the same. Many of my friends in Cali recommended me GNG but so many bad reviews in PF.
So I will just go and check it out. Haven't seen Dr.Hong's bad reviews yet. So I will get a consultation probably with him. When are you going?
Honest Review of GNG and Docfinder Korea

Mn31515 said: ↑

Hi everyone, I thought about whether or not to share my experience with Docfinder Korea and GNG for Rhinoplasty and Ptosis Correction (by double eyelid incision), and have decided I will, in return for all the help this forum has given me!

This review will be broken up in 2 parts. Part 1: Docfinder
Part 2: GNG and my surgery results

Part 1 Docfinder:
I dealt with 3 people while in Korea. I forgot the name of the first girl, so I went back to look on Kakao, and I think she's no longer with Docfinder as her profile is gone. The second person I met was Clovis and the third was Shin.

My initial online consultation was through Monica, and she was very helpful and relatively fast with her communication. I did reach out privately to two of the five clinics she recommended and the prices I was quoted were all the same so Docfinder doesn't inflate the prices to get a higher commission. (However, I'm sure the clinics already inflate their prices automatically for foreigners). Monica also gave me a list of hotels to choose from. I chose to place a deposit with GNG as to reserve my surgery date. However, next time, I will choose to meet with 2-3 clinics while in Korea before making a decision and submitting a deposit. Why? To get a better price. GNG already had my deposit and knew I was getting surgery there so the incentive to be willing to negotiate with me for a better price was lacking. I ended up paying about 7mil krw for rhinoplasty with osteomy for narrowing my wide nose bridge, silicone implant, tiplasty, and alar reduction. For ptosis correction, I paid about 4 mil krw.

I was traveling alone to Korea for the first time and was thankful to have an agency arrange for a taxi to pick me up (I arrived at 1am) and drive me to my hotel. My layover flight was delayed in Beijing for an hour and I had no way of contacting Docfinder to let them know (no internet at the airport for people with foreign phone numbers). Try to avoid Beijing airport if you can, btw. I had such a hard time navigating the confusing layout as none of the workers seemed to speak English. Anyhow, I was nervous that the driver would have left and thankfully he didn't! He was very nice, though visibly tired lol.

I hadn't received a message from Docfinder yet telling me who was picking me up in the morning and what time so I messaged Docfinder myself. I did receive a reply, but wish they would have arranged this earlier as they had said they would in an email. Anyhow, the first girl picked me up at my hotel and we took a taxi to GNG. She was very nice though she was on her phone throughout most of my time with her, dealing with a few personal matters at the time which I could understand at the time. When it came down to speaking about my procedures with the Korean speaking consultant, there was an in house English translator (Henny?) who was of better help to me than my Docfinder road manager. The most disappointing part about Docfinder here was that my road manager that day did not help me to negotiate a better price at all. I had to do it by myself and managed to get a 10% discount. She just sat there, tbh.

When I woke up from surgery, she helped me to my room and stayed there with me for a few hours to make sure I stayed awake and didn't drink water which was helpful as I was incredibly thirsty after rhinoplasty and tired. No pain though. After she got me some water, she left for the evening.

The next morning, Clovis picked me up from GNG around 11am. I asked her if we can drop by a store so I can buy an electrical adapter (I completely forgot about this necessity travelling from the U.S.!) porridge, water bottles, yogurt, and juice. She told me that I can probably borrow one from my hotel front desk and that there would be water dispensers in the hotel. After we arrived at my hotel, she did walk me to a nearby convenience store to buy porridge, yogurt, and juice. I was able to find water and and an adapter at my hotel as she said.

Mt first road manager messaged me to ask how I was doing, so that was thoughtful.

Two days later, Shin picks me up to take me to GNG to get my nose packings out (Yes, I can finally breathe through my nose!!! No more dry mouth! ). He was very kind and helpful, though seemed like he was juggling a lot at the time.

Docfinder offers you a shopping tour, but be sure you request it a few days in advance. And i wouldn't really call it a tour. Instead, they'll pick you up and act as a chaffeur to take you to where you want to go. Not sure if I came at a busy time for them, but Shin pushed my shopping date a day behind, he seemed really busy. Not sure why he just didn't have another manager take care of it unless the entire agency was just busy (I traveled during the spring). Anyway, no big deal. The day of, he took me to get my hair washed as I requested and it was the best feeling ever! I did request to go shopping at one place, but realized it was 1.5 hour away. Shin was willing to drive me there, but I declined since it was so far out of the way and it would take us forever in traffic at that time.

A few days later, I was to get my stitches removed! Clovis let me know she was the road manager to take me. As I was getting my stitches removed the day before I was leaving Korea and flying home, it was crucial that I make it to my appointment. I did let her know that when I first met her. However, she messaged me and said that she needed to reschedule for the next morning because of conflicts with another client booking she had. I told her rather firmly that that was impossible as I was leaving at 9 am in the morning to catch my flight. I was freaked out and annoyed, and she quickly messaged me back saying she will try to figure it out. I thought this was very unprofessional, but like she said, she managed to work it out. When we got to GNG, Henny was there and helped translate for me as I met with the doctors for evaluation.

The next morning, Docfinder arranged for a taxi to pick me up and drop me off to the airport.

OK, so would I recommend Docfinder Korea?

Yes, if 1) you're a non Korean speaking foreigner 2) if it's your first time to Korea

Pros: 1) convenient taxi pick up and drop off 2)having someone at the clinic while you're in surgery to make sure shadow doctors aren't being used 3) having someone there after you wake up from surgery to make sure you stay awake and don't drink water while in the recovery room 4) shopping trip if they have time in their schedule

Cons: 1) lack of initial communication 2) no help bargaining for a better price with clinics as they state on their website 3) cancelations due to conflicts with their schedule

The bottom line:
If there is an in house English translator at the clinic, there isn't really a point to have Docfinder there besides having someone there to make sure shadow/junior doctors aren't being used. If you can hail a taxi and if your clinic has an in house English translator and has an honorable reputation and skilled doctors, you really don't need Docfinder. You might even be able to negotiate bigger discounts with the clinic since they won't have to pay a 3rd party commission.

Part 2 will be posted soon. Feel free to ask me any questions!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I just read all your thread and learned about Docfinder. Hmm. They seem to be helpful but I am not sure I want their service or not. Most of clinics I contacted offered pick up service and translation service etc.
If I would get less discount because of their "commission?" I would just go by myself and meet some friends from PF.

Botox and Fillers in Seoul, Korea

in Korean Plastic Surgery Reference Archive (READ ONLY)
Posted August 27, 2018

dal21 said: ↑

Hello everyone! ☺️

I'll be going to Seoul for the next several months and I'm looking at getting botox and fillers done at a few places, mainly: jawline botox, and undereye, nose and forehead fillers. I've been looking through 강남언니 gangnamsister.com and there's a plethora of procedures at really cheap prices it's almost shocking! Does anyone know of any clinics that are popular with the locals for such procedures?

What do you think of gowoonsesang, and Clair Medical Group (different from Claire Clinic) for botox and fillers?

Also, anyone has experience with safe and gentle doctors? I'm looking at natural-looking fillers without excessive bruising or swelling and I don't want to lose my ability to smile after botox.

Any opinions are welcome!

Click to expand...

I don't know where to recommend for botox and filler in Korea cuz I got it in LA.
But wanted to tell you that I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BOTOX AND FILLER.
Ever since I got it, my face feature became defined.
I could see more definition and less fat and muscel.
Had botox injection on my forehead, eyebrows, under eyes, nostrils(my favorite-but damn painful),jaw line, shoulders, arms and calves-became slimmer so it looks longer.
And had filler injection on the chin and aegyosal area which made my chin pointier and V-shape.
Honestly, I don't recommend under eye botox and aegyosal filler.
Under eye botox make my expression so funny especially, when I smile. Many people asked me I look so swellon. And Aegyosal filler looks too unnatural so I regreted it.
Both procedure is,fortunately, not permananent so if anything goes wrong, it is not a big deal.It just takes time.
All the best to find good place for the procedures and share with us if you can! :3
***RECOMMENDATION FOR FC AND RHINOPLASTY***

mellowmood said: ↑

Staff at GNG is the most unqualified and rude in the world! So many people here have already written enough about them. From my perspective, they are just too commercialized! Idk about Cinderella, have never even considered it. If you are planning a “big” update like fc with rhino, it’s better to choose among top places. From what I know, a good plastic surgery hospital should have at least a separate building to make the stay of their patients maximum comfortable like Regen or JK. I personally got my v-line at Regen under Dr.Oh’s knife and have never regretted about the decision I made. It worth every penny I spent.

Click to expand...

Last week, I had online consultation with them and they seemed prompt and professional.
I am still contemplating bewteen GNG and banobabi for my surgery in Oct.
What is the reason you don't recommend GNG? because you seem like you just hate them.
I can feel you are working for Regen too. Are you?

Hi everyone! I’m planning rhino in Seoul, haven’t chosen a hospital yet and haven’t contacted any surgeons. Saw few posts here about rhino but no one mentioned about costs. Can anyone share about approximate expenses including accommodation, transportation, food, etc?

Click to expand...

I am thinking around 10,000USD including surgery cost. Will that be enough? I would probably stay for about 10days.

Hello dear friends,
I am planning to go to Korea for my revision rhinoplasty in Oct.
I really hope this can be my last time getting rhinoplasty.
I am doing my research but if you have any recommendation, please share with me!!!

(I had first rhinoplasty about 5 years ago-silicon+septal cartilage but I don't like my tip now-it's too blunt and droopy)

Hello. First of all, I want to give thanks to all you fellow pfers for all your detailed reviews and updates. I have been on purseforum for years and years, but only started to get more active these past two years or so. I always promised I would give back as much as I received from this community, so here I am. I really wanted to wait to write my review because I really wanted it to be based on the actual result rather than my recovery. I was really eager to write this beforehand, but i wanted to be 100% before putting anything on the internet.

And i am deeply saddened to say, it is not gonna be good.

Surgery plan:
Bridge augmentation
Tip + alar plasty
Osteotomy + septoplasty

Clinic:
GNG Hospital

I consulted with many places but in the end i chose GNG for two reasons, 1. nasal obstruction correction, and 2. Because they are a so called hospital. BOY was I disappointed. First of all, my doctor was non interested and short in our primary consultation. He showed no interest in my concerns nor did he speak much. His translator did most of the talking, not sure if it was to sell me or to fluff out what he didnt care to say. The actual only reason i decided to go through with surgery was because of the glowing reviews i read on this forum. LADIES (and gents) ALWAYS ALWAYS trust your instincts. If you fe uncomfortable about something, trust your gut. NOT what people on the internet says.

Anyway, So my nose is very wide and short. I distinctly told my surgeon that I did not want to have a short nose, and that my aim was to make it longer. I paid about 6.5 million KRW for the surgeries above and i cringe to think about what revision may cost me. Not only did they charge me 1.5 million KRW extra for a cadaver cartilage I SWEAR THEY DIDNT USE, but they had the audacity to say its not shorter. My nose is a complete pigs nose now and its ALL THANKS TO THEM.Even on the day of surgery, i brought all my photos and explained in absolute detail about what i wanted and didnt want. My main and only objective was to slim and lengthen my nose. How could he have done the complete opposite? My nose is noticeably more short and bridge is bumpy af and my tip is messed up!!

I will attach my before and after photo. Pictures definitely speak louder than words, so you all can be the judge for the atrocity. Please comment or message me, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. I am utterly humiliated and stuck.

I have contacted them several several times about this concern during the first few months, but their replies have been limp. I have called but they keeep telling me i must wait to see the final result. TOTAL ******** . I have waited over five months and youre telling me its gonnna get a **** lot better than it is now? No. I know they are just pushing me off. In all honesty, I would not trust them with the thought of revision. Now i must consider what to do next. I wanted to let everyone know to NOT trust these sponsored reviews and to do lots of research OUTSIDE OF TPF. I had a conversation with a female in a kakao group chat who had a similar problem after nasal irrigation with gng WT....

ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY are MORTIFIED. I cry everytime i look in the mirror and deathly stress everytime i think about whats in the middle of my face. They tell me my nose has been wrecked and my nose is completely botched and up turned!! My nostrils are completely uneven now. I cannot even begin to explain how it has been for me

I NOW HAVE A PINGHED PIG NOSE.

Click to expand...

Hello, I am so sorry to what happened to you but can you update with recent clear photos? I am planning to have rhinoplasty in Oct and GNG is one of my options because my friend recommended me but I am scared after reading all the bad reviews here.
