Rhinoplasty Journey in South Korea-From 8 clinics, Down to 1

hello Pulpy,

I was excited reading your post, very detailed but I'm sorry it ended on a negative note.
How are you now?
Has anybody tried Pitangui?

I feel like for those procedures there are much better clinics (especially for rhino). The clinic I went to is in the same building at Pitangui and I had really good results for rhino so even if you really like Pitangui I think you should still at least consult with some other clinics as it won't take much time.

Korean rhinoplasty clinic good with SE Asian / bulbous noses?

Hi all,

I’m going to SK in about 2 weeks and just wanted some second opinions. I’ve searched these forums and based on results I’ve seen and liked here (as well as other research outside PurseForum), I’ve set up appointments with:

UVOM

Wannabe

Answer

Very Good

Opera

Just wanted to quickly ask if there are any other PS clinics I should consider, in addition to the above, that are really good at improving bulbous / thick nose shapes.

I’ve researched Thai and Filipino clinics and some have good results with clients with similar noses to mine but I’m just weary of the quality. I had a nice alar result done in Seoul last January, but I realized my tip is still broad and thick (they suggested an implant/tip binding that time but I was too scared to do it lol.)

I’m Southeast Asian and want a bulbous nose rhinoplasty that also takes into consideration my features. I think the noses performed Korean patients are lovely but maybe a bit too thin or pointy or “dolly” for my aesthetic.

As an FYI, before I settled on doing the rhino in Korea, I actually found a clinic in Manila that has my desired result (I love her result!) but I contacted them directly and they said they only do in-person consultations, nothing online. The customer service just didn't seem "on point" as Korean clinics, and they seem to really cater to Filipino clients instead of international clients out of the Philippines.

I also searched up that clinic here and there was only like 1-2 posts about them but they weren’t positive (they were both about their implants being shifted or something). She’s definitely the look I’m going for (and has a similar before nose to me)

hello there, are you from Indonesia/Malaysia because of your username Batik haha
No matter, I too have a bulbous nose and would like to reduce it significantly and since you've done the alar reduction and loving the result, may i know the clinic that you went to?

And also may i know why would you not continue with the clinic you've been to in the first place?

Thank you.

I'm about 2 years out from my facial liposuction at pitangui and I regret it so so much. I highly regret choosing this clinic for this procedure. There is a strange separation between the skin and the underlying tissues, and it causes my face to droop/sag.

I'm currently exploring between ultherapy, threadlifting, and a jawline/lower facelift to fix this. I still have days where I want to kill myself over how this turned out. F.ck this clinic.

Hello there! I am so sorry to hear that. was the result good initially? or it was botched from the beginning?
Would you mind sharing me your photo? i too am a guy planning to do Rhino and facial lipo at Pitangui but this certainly made me pause

Side note, since I have seen a lot of people in the chats talking about revisions, and I have met people who were dissatisfied with their results, I just wanted to share my thoughts on plastic surgery. Please understand that as much as plastic surgery can change your face, they are ultimately micro-changes. You can look a lot more different by having multiple micro-changes, but there is only a certain extent your face can change due to your skull structures. You will not wake up looking like someone else, you will wake up looking like a better version of yourself. There is no end to beauty, so prepare yourself before opening up this expensive pandora box. Please know that no matter how few infection cases there are in the world, plastic surgery is a relatively new industry and even the doctors don’t know everything about it. Just because it doesn’t hurt anyone now doesn’t mean it won’t cause issues 10 years, 30 years, or 50 years down the line. I’m not saying this to be cynical. I’m saying this to be realistic. We are changing our natural bodies and putting in implants. It may be a big health issue, god forbid, 50 years later, when something like Instagram isn’t even around anymore. Please be aware of the risk before making your final decision, so that you don’t end up regretting it later. And make sure you emphasize your aesthetics and exactly what you want to your surgeon. Sometimes things can get lost in translation between you, the translator, the consultant, and then the doctor. Have reference photos and if you can even draw diagrams to show them. This is your surgery not theirs. Remember having the proper mindset and communication will prevent 90% of “botched jobs.”

Thank you so much for the in Depth review! Appreciate it! I am a male Asian with a bulbous nose and planning to do surgery next year. So for the time being, I would really love to gather as much info as i can. and you've helped me narrowed it down.

You mentioned before that some smaller clinics are better than the famous ones but how to even look for these smaller clinics? I'm going with a Korean friend so I don't need a translator.
