Hey Rose,

Just came back from my rhino and double eyelid surgery journey in Seoul. I've only had a f2f with one of the clinics you listed, View. Before I left for Korea, my heart was set on View because I liked the aesthetic and their version of the "dolly" nose. When it finally came to the f2f with them, I felt pretty rushed while I was there and sensed "factory" vibes. They also quoted an exorbitant amount for the procedures (6mil KRW online and almost 9mil f2f) so that left a bad impression.

Banobagi was also on my original list but felt like they relied too much on "real stories" from YouTubers. One review I saw from someone who had a f2f with them said that there were a bunch of patients in the waiting room complaining about their procedures. Red flag.

Make of this what you will, but this post has info on some of the blacklisted clinics (including Banobagi):

I'd love to hear more about your progress. And the fact that you can speak Korean will definitely help you in f2f negotiations!

How could they raise the price from online to ftf consultation like that?

Hey~
I recently decided that I want to get some plastic surgery in Korea, and so far I have narrowed it down to the clinics listed below.

Clinics

Banobagi Plastic Surgery (https://www.engbanobagi.com)

View Plastic Surgery (https://www.viewplasticsurgery.com)

Idea Clinic (http://en.idea-clinic.com)

Dream (https://en.e-dream.co.kr)

Although I managed to narrow my original list of clinics down a bit, I have run into a problem...I heard from some sources that some of these clinics are blacklisted, but I haven’t been able to find evidence of that. I have found multiple excellent reviews on these clinics as well. I was wondering if any of you have insight on whether or not these clinics are any good? Please include pros and cons like pricing, results, service, etc. I would really appreciate it

My Info
Caucasian, female, round face, high nose bridge with small bump, uneven eyes, nose, and jaw. Desired look is slightly doll-like, but still natural. Even facial proportions and small face.

Procedures I Am Looking to Get Done

Facial Contouring (V-Line, Zygoma Reduction, Forehead Augmentation)

Rhinoplasty (pretty much everything you can get lol I basically want a whole new nose)

Eyes (I’m not entirely sure what sort of procedure(s) I would need, but my concerns are that I have uneven eyes with low double eyelids. I look tired a lot of the time. My desired look is happy, cute, and doll-like. Not creepily big though lol!! If you have any recommendations as to what procedures I might look into, feel free to tell me!)

If you need any more information, I would be happy to give it to you! I have not yet decided on a date (I do not live in South Korea currently) at which i will fly over, but by the time I save up enough (looking at some price quotes have given me an idea of how much time it will be until I go lol) I will most likely be in college there. I also will (most likely) speak almost-fluent Korean.
Thank you for your time!! I sincerely wish you the best in your own PS journey, and if you have any advice, I’m a newbie desperate for tips and tricks!! I will upload photos later, as I am writing this at an inconvenient time to take photos. Once again, thank you in advance!!

Hi Rose,I’m looking for a good clinic to get eyes,Vline surgery now.
About your eyes,from my knowledge I think you should get ptosis correction,it will make your iris more big and no more tired.You can go to any clinic website to read about ptosis procedure.
About Vline ,in my opinion I think you shouldn’t get zygoma reduction because I read some reviews on here,there’re 3,4 people are regretting of sagging face after zygoma reduction
Here are the link:

I’m not sure about Dream or View but Banobagi is very expensive,and they have some negative reviews on here also,but one girl in my country got the surgery from them,she is very beautiful now.But it was from a TV show,so I think they tried to use professional doctors for her surgery.
Just do more research by yourself and try to get at least 3 clinics for face to face consultation before you decide

I had very similar feelings about View! They were my top choice originally but after consulting with other clinics, they went further down the list. They also quoted me the highest during my F2F (rhino and DES).

How much did they quote you for rhino and DES?

Do you know if banobagi is good for double jaw?
I mostly have seen only people getting zygoma and vline there. I am trying to decide on a good double jaw surgeon/company.

I know one girl from my country had very successful with double jaw,her precious jaw was overbite too much,that made her look older than her age.She was chosen for a TV show named Change life-is sponsored by Banobagi.They did alot of surgery for her including double jaw surgery,eyelids surgery,skin treatment,rhinoplasty,reduce fat from thighs,...
It was 4 years ago and now she looks very beautiful.I think her case is the most successful case so Banobagi keeps her as their model now.

I’ve been considering getting double eyelid surgery for a long time and finally decided to visit Korea this year for the procedure. I consulted with a number of clinics in Seoul for DES, under eye bag (transconjunctival blepharoplasty), and getting a bump on my skin removed. The information others provided here were instrumental in me deciding which clinics to visit so thought I’d give back by sharing my experience with the clinics as well.

I had actually planned to go through with the surgeries last year but am glad I waited until this year because it gave me more time to do research and understand the procedures better. Before heading to Korea, I had a good idea of what I was looking for in terms of DES. I wanted non-incisional if possible since it’ll look more natural, have a faster downtime, and it’d be easier to fix in case the shape doesn’t turn out as I had hoped. I also didn’t want canto or epi but was willing to consider ptosis if necessary.

And just a note for anyone looking to get their surgeries done in the spring, the clinics will have greater availabilty but the air quality can be poor from the air pollution and yellow dust so just be aware you might have some allergy symptoms!

Opera
Wonderful experience with the clinic. The consultants I interacted with were helpful and friendly. Dr. Soon Beom Kwon suggested non-incisional DES without ptosis and fat repositioning for the under eye bags. He mentioned incisionally removing the bump would leave a scar and possibly wrinkle the skin around it, making it worse than before, so he recommended laser treatment instead. I felt that Dr. Kwon was very thorough and honest about the procedures I was inquiring about. Furthermore, despite his busy schedule, he was patient and answered my questions in detail. His b/a photos also looked great!

Like many other people had previously posted in the forum, the price I was quoted was very reasonable. I appreciate they don’t feel the need to charge foreigners an arm and a leg because they don’t live here or are of a different race. I can see why they’re such a popular clinic.

Marble
Also had a positive experience at Marble. The consultant was friendly and Dr. Ilbeom Seo was patient and kind when going over the procedures and in answering my questions. You can tell he’s very experienced and knew what he was talking about. He gave me the same recommendation as Dr. Kwon from Opera. Also, when designing my DES, I liked the crease he created the best.

I don’t remember if I got to see his b/a photos though and the price the consultant quoted me was quite high. FYI, I saw Dr. Seo but there are other doctors who specialize in DES at the clinic as well and some of their b/a photos were exactly what I was looking for.

Ruby
I had requested a consultation with Dr. Hu but he was unavailable so I decided to talk to Dr. Ko instead. Dr. Ko left a great impression on me since he was very patient and thorough with his explanations. Although the English consultant initially suggested incisionally removing the bump on my skin, Dr. Ko said it’d be better to try removing it with laser first. So his opinions aligned with the previous 2 surgeons except he also recommended ptosis correction.

After the consultation with Dr. Ko, I met with the English consultant again. While she seems nice, the quotes she gave me were extremely high and even though she mentioned she was willing to negotiate the price, it probably would’ve been tough to get it to a reasonable figure. Additionally, I felt she pushed for the incisional method for the bump removal despite Dr. Ko’s suggestion because laser removal would take several sessions but I wasn’t going to be in Korea for long enough.

View
When I arrived at the clinic, one of the staff, Alex, greeted me and was so friendly and welcoming. She took me to see Dr. Yun Chang Woon for the consultation. While he was smiling and seemed friendly and basically had the same recommendation as Dr. Ko, I felt his explanation of the surgical procedures were brusque and he seemed in a hurry to leave. He also seemed rushed when showing me the resulting crease but mentioned we can go over the design prior to the surgical procedure. But if the doctor rushed through it during the consultation, he/she probably won’t give you much more time right before the procedure after you’ve already paid.

After chatting with Dr. Yun, I spoke with their English consultant, Anna. The amount she quoted me was high, but I was able to negotiate it to an acceptable tax inclusive price. Unfortunately, I felt she was dishonest and said the tax is 8% while all the other clinics said the tax is 10%. She also deducted the administrative fee from the tax refund so it ended up being only 6.8%. Furthermore, she talked quite a bit during the consultation but when I asked her to show me photos from Dr. Yun’s b/a for the procedures she escorted me out the door. Honestly, I wouldn’t even consider View if it wasn’t out of concern for my mom since it’s a larger clinic and Alex’s courteousness.

Uvom
My experience at Uvom was interesting. The consultant suggested a bunch of surgeries like epi, canto, forehead lift, etc. and the surgeon followed her recommendations completely. He also didn’t listen to me when I mentioned I didn’t want those surgeries and became irritated instead and told me those are necessary to achieve the look I want. When he was showing me what the result would look like with the forehead lift I nearly busted out laughing because it looked funny. As a result, they were out of the running immediately following the consultation.

There were a couple of other clinics I talked with but aren’t worth mentioning and other ones I wanted to consult with but our schedules didn’t mesh. But hopefully, this post contains useful information for other Purseforumers out there!

Thank you for your review,which clinic did you choose?I think View is too big and it’s like a factory for now,that’s why they were rush during the consultation
