Can any of you give me tips on your research for clinics? Also how do you obtain consultations before going there?

Research is done usually by looking at previous posts, checking RealSelf, talking to others who have already had their procedures. Kakao group chats are great for this. I just created a chat for those going in this summer.

hi! I can't seem to find a kakao group for those going this summer. I know it's good to have support and to talk to like minded people. I'm going second week of June and staying 3 weeks for primary rhino and DES. If there is an existing summer group please let me know. If not I'd like to start one just leave reply with your ID. We can all swap notes, compare quotes, share tips, and overall provide support to one another.

I have the same issue with Banobagi. I had my nose and eyes done at Banobagi in late November 2016. I noticed straightaway there was a problem with my nose as I felt a lot of pressure and told Dr and he said it will go away. Before surgery, I had 2 consultations with Dr and told him I wanted my nose soft after surgery, and he reassured me it will. I notified them after 1 year of waiting for it to get soft that my nose is till very hard and there is a lot of pressure near the nose tip, ever since post op. I waited for another year for it to get soft and finally decided I can’t stand it anymore and will return for revision for a softer nose, only for them to reply that warranty is only 1 year which I was not notified. It’s also my fault not reading the contract before signing it on the day of surgery. Yet, the contract does say if any issues arise within 1 year, they can do revision once free of charge at a suitable time. My issue clearly arose within the first year and now is a suitable time for me to do revision. Had they told me that warranty was only 1 year I would have went last year when I told them about my issue. Now they’re just not taking responsibility and told me if I wanted a soft nose like natural people I shouldn’t have had my nose done. Like I went with it because Dr reassured me it will be soft and promised for a free revision. Had he not done so I wouldn’t have had my nose done. Now if I want them to fix the hardness and the uncomfortableness, I have to pay them which doesn’t make sense at all. I’m already paying for my flight tickets just to go to Korea for them to fix the issue which shouldn’t have existed. Very disappointed. Not to mention one side of my eyelids feel very heavy.

Can I please ask who did your nose at Banobagi?

Hi guys. I am quite new to this forum so I need some help. I had two rhinoplasty before, still unhappy with result so now I am looking for a really good clinic in Korea that can help me fix my issue. I have consulted so far with GNG, View, Dream, ID, JK, VIP, Banobagi and MVP. Also send an enquiry to Namu and Hanabi but none of them replied so far.
I managed to narrow down my list to 3. Dream, View and Namu (even tho they didn’t reply me yet I read good reviews and I like their anesthesia procedures)

My experince with the online consultation went like this:

GNG - Took a very long time to reply and consultant was quite rude. Told me to contact them after 2-3 months since my last surgery was not long ago so they cannot tell me anything now. Price was reasonable but I read mixed reviews so I cut it down from my list.

View - Consultant is nice and said my nose is not that bad, but I am very particular and I want a perfect nose and he said he is quite scared to touch it but they will be able to help. I like this clinic and I saw good results from it. I also like the fact that they have a guesthouse INSIDE the clinic itself so you can book and stay there. I don’t know about price because consultant didn’t tell me. I guess he has to see me first.

MVP - They seemed nice and excited to answer all my questions. I didn’t know much about he clinic and I saw only 2 users that promote this clinic here. Price is very good tho, but I cut it down from my list after I heard the death rumors. Asked my consultant and she said yes it is true that someone died there while having rhinoplasty there but she claimed patient had a undiagnosed heart disease and that the police reports didn’t blame the clinic. But still I wouldn’t risk it.

VIP - Said I need rib revision (why do I need rib IDK because I have a bridge and a high nose) and quoted me 13mil won. Byebye.

ID - They were ok but then I asked about the price and never replied. Also read bad reviews and some users said ID also has death record so bye.

JK - This clinic I also liked however they were pushing me into getting a lot of unnecesarry surgery. I asked them for a forehead reduxtion surgery but instead they pushed me for a hair transplant because it’s more expensive. I just have thin hair I am not bald. Lol

Banobagi - Was really into this clinic and initially even send them a deposit however I asked for a refund after a girl in my workplace did a nose job with them and came back totally botched.

Namu - Still waiting for answer

So guys, what is your experince? Please reccomend me good clinics and share your experiences. I am planning to do my revision in July and tale my time and consult with as many clinic as needed. I also plan to do a fat graft and acculift if I have enough money lol. Also, anyone else coming in July?

Do you know what doctor at Banobago did your friends nose?

Hello can I please ask who your doctor was for nose at Banobagi?

January 23, 2019

Hello do you mind sharing the KakaoTalk ID to get in touch with UVOM English speaking consultant?

January 23, 2019

How are you liking your nose? What made you chose that specific clinic and dr? Thank you I’m starting my journey for primary rhino and DES.

January 23, 2019

Hello my kakaoID joyfulheart13

January 22, 2019

I have the same question. Most surgeons are only offering the silicone implant for primary rhino. But everything I read says to avoid using foreign material and to use your own tissues if possible. I'm so confused. I need to raise my bridge and reduce my bulbous tip.

I haven't heard of the last 2 clinics but have gone to Teium with a friend in 2016. And met the Chinese girl who got botched eyes at Teium and was offered a million won to go back to revise. My impression of teium was it was a small clinic and the consultant was extremely beautiful. I called her a siren and found that many men and women book teium after meeting her. I saw many b&as on kakao and for nonincision des he was fine but for des the lids were swollen like sausages for months as he insists they all get epi too. He may have been good in the past but in my opinion not so now. Poor girl then chose april31 for her rhino and that was botched too. That is why once you find a great surgeon, you stop looking.

Hello can I please ask who you would recommend for primary rhino? Also what do you think about silicone implants for elevating the bridge?

I'm interested in finding out more about TopFace too. Anyone have friends or family in Korea they can ask?

Which Doctor at Banobagi did your nose?

Vee_Wudlyktoplay said: ↑

This is coming from a person that actually got my nose done with them and had a good experience while recovering, in my opinion, I love me new nose from Banobagi, it’s my first time ever going into surgery or getting anything permanent done. So for me, I’m a fan and would and did highly recommend my own friends to go with them if they’re thinking about getting anything done. But that’s just my opinion, and no I’m not sponsored or was given a discount to say nice sh*t, I got a good deal because I’m good at researching sh*t online and keeping up to date on the clinics I was interested in getting my PS at. I didn’t let other people’s opinion get in my head because it’s not their face or money that’s in the line, it’s mine. I say go for Banobagi and research everything that u have to know or questions you want to ask so you’re prepared and don’t expect a red carpet treatment, This goes for any clinic you choose to go consult with or get your plastic surgery at, it’s not Hollywood, it’s a clinic for Christ sake. Lol doctors are very important people that have better sh*t to do. Time is money and if you’re just going in for consultation when they squeezed you in between operating time where they actually make money on, don’t expect to sit and talk with them for an hour because that’s ridiculous. Hahaa Some people just have big heads and think they should be prioritized more than others.. but that’s just my opinion.

Can I please ask who did your rhino at Banobagi?

January 2, 2019

If you are getting older in age (past 35) then fat grafting is often recommended for youthful face.
Did you go on more than one consult? Get at least 3 and compare recommendations.

Guys...anyone knows how I can contact namu? I need to do revision again after getting botched so I’m looking for a really good doctor and this post makes me wanna consult with Namu. I texted them on kakao (Claire I believe) but she didn’t reply for like 3 days now?? Any other way? I think I scared her with too many questions

Click to expand...

The NY holiday might be why she hasn't replied give it some time and also email them.

January 1, 2019

hello I'm new to all this and despite searching the threads I don't see where this basic info would be? how surgeries are paid for? Credit? Check? Cash? I'm not sure what the common practice is? Do you get more bargaining power paying with cash?

Also for lodging did you stay at hotels? Or AirBnB? Is there an existing thread that covers the basics for PS in Korea and I'm just not finding it? TIA

I plan to go mid June. Add me on Kakao: Joyfulheart13
