that's true to some extent but there are a lot of people (myself included) who have shared their real experiences in there. I did not have a good experience with view and shared my experience as objectively as possible without saying nasty things about them. I honestly put them through the ringer but if you don't sound manic and people know you're telling the truth, you won't be removed because it will be too obvious that the mods have a relationship with the clinic. Yes Liv did try to rationalize and downplay some of my experiences but i was not removed from the chat, and i also private messaged with some people from that chat. Also plenty of people have shared their experiences with LDC botching their noses (seems like he got careless once he decided to move to a new clinic) and none of them have been removed.

Of course you should take what's said in there with a grain of salt but i personally have found it really helpful to talk to people who have direct experience with the clinic/doctors you plan on going to.

 

I personally haven't seen any evidence of botched surgeries by Dr. Jeong. I didn't do my surgery with him but heard from a lot of people who did and all of them that i talked to are satisfied. There's a kakao group for View that you can join, you can ask in there about people's experience with Dr Jeong if you want.

Also, Dr LDC moved to DARPS.

 

i haven't gone yet, i will be having my surgery in august

 

im not sure, i think they were botched. but like i said the people who told me that didnt provide any evidence so take it with a grain of salt

 

i asked about him in a kkt groupchat and someone said he left hyundai bc he got too many complaints from patients and had to leave before his revisions piled up. No sources were provided though, but it was still enough to make me ask view to change my scheduled doctor lol

 

sure! my id is jeongri

 

i'm going to view, how about you?

 

i'll be there aug 11-28 for vline surgery!

 

your lips look soooo pretty omg! how much did you pay?

 

yes i put down a deposit to secure a surgery date. if you book enough time to wait a few days/weeks to get an appointment after consultation, you dont have to put down a deposit but i did it cuz i dont have that much time to just spend waiting around in korea lol

 

yep i'm going alone! i originally was gonna go through docfinder, but after contacting view directly i decided to just go without an agent cuz its cheaper and docfinder doesnt really offer any services that view doesnt already have. They quoted me 12 mil for FC, 3.5 mil for full face fat graft + 1 mil for PRP but they said it's likely the price will be lower once they can see everything in my face to face consultation.

 

FFS isnt really a specific thing, i would recommend just choosing clinics whose results you like. JK and View are known to not have medical accidents, regen and view are famous for facial contouring etc. i would just start researching the specific procedures you want done and choose the clinic whos results you like the most

 

i'm also going in Aug! to View for Facial Contouring and possibly fat grafting

 

Hi everyone! I will be having FC at View Clinic this August and I will be staying in Seoul Aug 11-28. Anyone else planning to have surgery around this time?

 

thanks, that's good to know! i've joined a kkt group for view plastic surgery and am considering making a new one for people having surgery in August. I've told a few friends about my plans so i know i can confide in them but i agree it would be great to have people in the same place as me who are going through the same thing. Did you meet all the girls on this forum?

 

thanks so much for your review! i'm also planning to do vline surgery at view this august. im also so happy to hear that you generally had a pleasant experience at view! i want to ask, since i've seen a lot of people talk about feeling lonely post-op. I have lived alone for 4 years and have travelled by myself multiple times, which means taking care of myself while sick even in foreign countries, so feeling lonely isnt something i really thought about until reading other people's experiences. Is your situation similar to mine, or do you think I will have an easier time mentally?
Hope your recovery continues to go well!

 

I think you just have to be their patient and book the hotel at least a month in advance. price is 50,000krw per won i think

 

Hi everyone, i wanted to post an update since i contacted both clinics directly and have made my decision.

JK - quoted me 13.5 million won for FC, which is the exact same price as docfinder quoted me. They also told me that prescriptions would be around 160,000 won, and if i wanted airport pickup/dropoff it would be 100,000won both ways.

View - much more friendly and answered all my questions. he even said the photoshopped picture i sent looks very realistic and they will probably be able to achieve a very similar result! i asked about sagging since my skin isnt super tight to begin with, but he said that not everybody experiences sagging after FC and that i shouldnt have sagging since I'm only 21, but if im worried about it i can get thread lifting done for 3.5 million won for 50 threads. The price he quoted me for FC was 12 million won, which is 1million won less than docfinder quoted me. For some reason i thought docfinder quoted me 12million for view as well, so i told him i would contact docfinder to book an appointment with them for me. he called me right away and said its better to book directly because the price will be cheaper, and that we can negotiate a cheaper price if i decide to go to them directly rather than through docfinder. he said they usually give higher prices online because theres a lot of unknown factors and its better to tell them a higher price up front and lower the price after xrays are done. he also told me prescriptions should only be about $50.

I ultimately decided to go with View directly and not through docfinder. I'm also considering doing fat graft as well, because i originally planned on doing filler for my forehead and nasal labial fold/cheek but he said fat graft would be better. (btw, he said fat graft would be 3.5 million won which is why im still thinking about it lol. i'll probably only get it if i can negotiate a lower price.)

Hope that helps somebody, feel free to ask any questions!

 

wow really? i guess i should reconsider using docfinder then... thank you so much

 

thanks so much for your help! i agree with you about view's results being good, but also they seem to have a lot more reviews than JK, so im not quite ready to write off JK since i havent seen that many reviews of them yet.

As for docfinder, i've read on this forum that most people don't recommend it because of the cost, but since i'm going alone i think i would be a lot more comfortable having their services. i've been to korea before and had no issues getting around or anything (especially cuz i took korean for 3 years in university) but im a little worried about it while im recovering from surgery since im also not that close with anyone in korea that i can call if im having problems. i did schedule online consultations with both clinics though, so if the price they quote me is much lower than what i was quoted by docfinder then i'll consider booking my surgery on my own instead of with docfinder.

hope your surgery goes well!!

 

hello everyone!
i'm planning on having my jaw/vline surgery in korea this august. i'm currently debating between JK and ViEW clinic for my surgery and i will be going through docfinder korea. i have read and watched reviews for both, as well as seen B&A pictures for both, but i'm still having a hard time deciding. both seem to have overwhelmingly positive reviews and the price quoted to me by docfinder is only 0.5 mil KRW different (with JK being more expensive) but i dont want to make my decision based on price.

has anyone had experience with jaw/vline surgery at these two clinics? is there a particular reason why you chose to or chose not to have your surgery at either of these two clinics?

for reference, i am a 21 years old white male.

thanks!
