May I ask the reason why you chose View over Hanabi? I'm choosing between the two for primary.

For all those raving reviews about UVOM & those who had gone there for surgery, I just like to share my 2 cents worth on my personal experience.
UVom's consultation was by far the longest, and most detailed. However its by the Consultant ( Eunice & Choi) which took almost 2.5 hours ( obviously! cos Korean consultant needed English consultant to translate! takes 2x the time) while doctor came in for 15 mins and left. The consultants will go through 1-by 1 details about what you want on your face and give u a breakdown of what you can do, such as the limitations and also offer suggestions. Overall I think you could learn something from the consultation. But my advise is please put UVom as your 1st consultation in Seoul if you really wanna go there...

Nonetheless, I think everyone should be warned that they are very shady in their dealings. Their strategy is to go thru' the entire consultation, jack-up the prices to sky-high then tell u they give u 30% discount with you in return giving them reviews. Please don't be fooled as after discount its ordinary pricing or infact higher still then the rest! They make u commit on the spot because u get today's best price.. & don't want you to leave etc. Thats a sales tactic which I do not wish to risk my face for such ' money- savers"...

Whatever reviews you saw on-line and in Kakotalk chats was due to the promise for speaking up good things for them. IN my opinion thats not exactly a true review.. cos its forced upon.

There are some people who had good results but its mostly primary & simple cases, I don't think they are great for revisions. When I saw their BA results, I questioned them and their answer was.. what you like may not be what the patient liked. So ta-dah! Win for Uvom.. whatever we saw was what the patient wanted.. thats like pushing away an excuse for every case..

And lastly why I did not sign up with them was because they ask me to do several unnecessary procedures ( and they quoted me 2x the prices quoted by 2 other clinics) and did not highlight the risk to me yet made it sound so simple. When I went to my next few consultations they all told me I do not need the procedures & I was merely wasting my money with little effects. As I said earlier in the post to make them the 1st consultation so that you get a good gauge of the price and what procedures you need and not need at the end of the day..
In view that the doctor spent such a short amount of time with me and everything was via the consultant, I got bit worried.. I rem the consultant said something like the doctor said he will make you beautiful...
Thats such a blanket statement to make your heart flutter... nice to the ears but you won't want to end up the Fool in such cases..

Hello everyone! I havent been posting much on the bag forums as i used to. I have outgrown expensive bags and have decided to laylow on shopping the last few years.

But as i turned forty a few years ago. My eyes were starting to bother me a lot. Some pictures especially those when I lack sleep or am tired from a trip I end up with really uneven eyes. I noticed the my right eye has triple lids and my left eye is double eyelid.

So after visiting Korea last year I decided that I wanted DES. I wasnt really there to look at doctors but I decided to make an appointment with ID hospital, Because they were on top of most google searches etc and I was in such a hurry to meet with surgeon etc etc. needless to say I wasnt very happy with the consultation and I left without setting anything in stone.

Hence, my review to everyone out there as my way of giving back for all the help this forum has been to me and my research on the best clinic I can go to. Ok so it is through PF that I decided NOT to go to ID hospital. (thank you so much for that! I read horrible stories here and that made me be more vigilant in doing research.

So i went to Korea on Mar 6 to 16 with kakao appointments with:

Girin, MVP, Opera and Shinseung.

After doing much research I already deposited on Shinseung before I went to Korea because of all the wonderful things I heard on this forum. Dr. Shin was good with revision double eyelid surgery so in my mind DES would be a simpler procedure. But the day before I went to Shinseung I went to Girin, MVP and Opera.

Here is my experience on each clinic
Girin- mostly Korean clients. It was packed when we arrived. Very nice interpreter Yuna. A consultant will meet you before you met the Dr. Song. He only operated on eyes. He was the only doctor who said i can do non-invasive DES and ptosis for my right eye. my experience for this clinic was nice. Price is fair

MVP- saw Korean and Chinese clients. They offer a lot of freebies which is a treat. The english consultant was nice. The Dr recommended DES invasive Ptosis correction and fat transfer in my right eye. I didn't feel a connection with the DR but the English consultant was so nice. Price was fair. i also liked this clinic

Opera- Saw Chinese and Korean clients. The English consultant didn't help much. She was very vague on almost everything, Procedure, sedation, etc. But she got back to me that night but didn't feel comfortable that she didn't know much about the procedures. I liked the doctor but he wasn't available to operate the next day so I took as God's deciding for me

Next day , was my appointment at Shinseung. Consultation at 1030am and surgery at 1130am. I had MVP and Girin on hold and they said they will wait for my reply by 11 am that day. This was my first time to meet Dr. Shin and I had to decide that day as well if I will push through with surgery.

Dr Shins clinic was nice, there was 2 receptionists and they both hardly spoke English. The vibe was good. When i arrived there was no one there I guess the morning was cleared because I booked for Surgery. So i met Dr. Shin and he spoke to me directly in English. He looked at my eyes and asked me what bothered me. I told him about my uneven eyes. And He immediately told me i need DES invasive Ptosis correction and Fat transfer. Which was basically what the other 2 doctors recommendation. I was asking if I can have non-invasive because i was scared of cutting and He said No it should really be invasive plus I need ptosis correction so this was his recommendation. He was kind and helpful and asked me what kind of eyes I wanted and I showed him a picture and He said He will try to achieve it but no promises.

I was at the surgery room right after they took my blood and gave me sedation. And I remember opening and closing my eyes a lot during the surgery. I felt that Dr shin really took a lot of time to make sure that my eyes were even. He did a lot more work in my right eye because of the Ptosis correction. I think that whole process took 2 hours or a little more. The removed fat from my tummy area to use for fat grafting for my upper eyelid in my right eye. I would say that I picked the right doctor for me. Dr Shin was sure of what he was doing and that assured me everything will be well.

Today I am back where I am from and I am 9 days post Op. I feel great my eyes are still swollen but I will share pics

This is pretty amazing. She had a long angular face buy Uvom did fc on her and seems to have made her face more oval. How did they do that? Like it looks like instead of cutting away bone they have somehow added bones so she has a much softer, more oval. View attachment 4148398

Whoa, I was going to get my eyes done at BK Hospital with Dr.Kim,ByungGun, who is the director of BK and is suppose to be certified, But checking from the PRS Korea website, it says he is under "Suspension of qualification"!!!

This sounds so serious, there are quite a few doctors from the Gangnam-gu area that's under suspension. I wonder what they did...can't be from late payment of membership fees

Hey guys! This is my experience at cooki plastic surgery. I also posted at another thread, and I thought it would be a good reference for those who are looking for a lesser-known clinic that is good at face contouring, since I've got some help from this thread also!

It's been more than 2 weeks after the operation, and much as far I am soooooo satisfied with the results!

As I said, I did cheekbones and side jaw(they seem to call it "squared jaw") contouring, to make a smooth v line from the front.
The price was reasonable to me personally, but I guess it depends.

At first, I was kind of scared of the pain, side effects, and the result. For me, it was worth to endure(It didn't hurt that much as I expected, actually). Even it has been only 2 weeks after the surgery, my face just looked like it was slim like this from the beginning! I'm just happy that my face shape is much slimmer now and it gives me a cute and soft impression and also makes me look just like my age(with all that cheekbones gone!).

To tell you guys more precisely about the surgery day, I think I was a bit sensitive since I didn't have anything to eat. As same as the consultation day, a young staff was with me the whole time to do interpretation and to let me know all the important stuff and to help me throughout the visit. I can't remember all the procedures before the operation, because the staffs were really quick to get me ready for the surgery. It was actually a relief for me cause I was so starving and wanted this to end quickly

After all the procedures, I met with Dr. Jung once again and he helped me to stay calm before the surgery. The surgery took about 4~5 hours I guess, and I was more nauseous than painful after it. I guess it's because I'm not really well with anesthesia. They told me to do the ice pack to get the swelling out, and I tried to get the swelling out more fast by taking a walk every day and doing the ice pack. I took out the stitches after a week, and the ones inside out another week later. Every time I visited cooki clinic, the nurses and doctor were really kind and considerate.

I kind of got close with a girl at the front desk. Her eyes were really pretty, so I asked if she had any operations, and surprisingly she said she did it at cooki clinic. Since I was interested with eyelids incision, I briefly had a consultation with the other doctor too! I didn't make a reservation or anything, but she was really kind

It was actually an amazing experience with Cooki clinic, and from this experience I realized that small clinics are actually realllllly good, better than some big ones. Even if's not Cooki ps, I personally recommend visiting a small clinic and getting a consultation.

I want to make sure that I'm not saying you should do a plastic surgery here, and I rather recommend not doing it at all if you don't find it necessary. However, for those that are really stressed out of your own face, especially for contouring, I think Cooki ps is a nice place to do it. Please give me a message if you want to ask things such as price or something. Good luck you guys for finding a place!

Hi everyone,

I've been in several forum doing tones of research on different types of surgery. Like anyone else, going to different thread post for the surgery that I would plan to do in the next couples of months.

I'm grateful to Purseforum which feed me much information about plastic surgery in Korea. Now I would like to contribute my shares of bit of surgeries result and my plastic surgery journey to this forum.
