Hi Chris, I've been through the same as you. It's normal for you to want a larger one than a small clinic. It was the same for me too. I had a hard time deciding which clinic I should choose since there was a lot of negative reviews in the places I really thought their b&a looked nice, but for me the negative reviews really threw me off.

I did mine at Nana, but I had only rhinoplasty as I had no bridge and my tip was too upturned (like a 'pig') and liposuction to remove a bit of my fats. You can read more about it in the review I posted about my surgery detail if you're interested. I don't think I've ever read anything bad about about Nana. Anyway, just letting you know my experience since I do want your surgery experience to go well. You should definitely do your own research, and choose the right clinic with the right doctors.

 

Hi guys, I Pm'ed you!

 

Hi Cloey, I've done my rhinoplasty and lipo at Nana. You can Pm me if you're interested to hear more

 

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that I PM'ed you, but if ever I didn't then just PM me.

 

I did! You can PM me

 

There was no bad post or botched story from Nana and I liked how honest and really caring the consultations seemed when I visited there. I consulted quite a few clinics and I liked their consultations, post-op care, pricing and also all of the doctors' before and after pictures.

 

haha already done mine at NANA and happy with it! Maybe you misread my thread?

 

Hey I consulted Nana, Gng, Opera, Namu and View and got my nose done at Nana.
You can check my posted thread about my experience there and also you can pm me for pics if you want.
My friend is going to get her nose done at Nana as well in December.

Personally, 7 days were enough for me. But if you stay longer you can get more post-op care.
I didn't swell that much but I think for people who swell and bruise a lot could stay for 10 days.

 

You already look great and I hope you get successful results after Decemeber! I just wanted to let you know that the top doctor from JK moved to Nana (Dr Kim Hyungjun) and he is really good with fc and nose, and he deals with a lot of thai / transgender patients. You should check on doctors more than clinic's ads and before and afters. All the best for yours in Dec! I am also thinking of getting my breasts done in Dec.

 

Smaller clinic does not always mean they are safer. Braun does pop up sometimes on some blacklists...For facial contouring i suggest tfd rather than Braun. I did have one friend of mine who got rhino at Braun and she was very happy with hers. She looked great to me too as well.

 

I got my nose done at Nana Hospital - they were really honest and trustworthy and they explain everything so well for you. I love my result from here and their post-op care so I recommend this place for sure. I haven't gotten a lip filler there but they have many nice reviews on them too so yeah def go for a consultation!

 

PM me!

 

Nana didn't show b&a's on computer screens but the translator sent me b&a's over whatsapp. Yeah they recommend doctors for you, explaining why. Unless you want one specifically for a reason

 

I got it done by Dr Jang (seo yoon) because I liked her nose jobs more than Dr Kim (hyung joon)!

 

sure! PM me for pics!

 

I think all PS experiences are different because everyone has different body type and body condition. So like for someone, cheekbone reduction could have been great and for some it could have been a nightmare. My friend got cheekbones, jawline and chin surgery last year and she is super happy. She started to experience some sagging after about 8 months so she got threadlifting. She's fine now after that. I think you could expect some sagging if you shave or break too much of your bones...cuz she shaved a LOT of hers. I think one should always go subtle with risky PS.

 

Heya. I got my nose done at Nana and I saw that they are having a promotion for full face fat grafting at 3.5 million won. They offered free face lifting procedure together if you get fat grafting there. You could choose from a few but I don't really remember. You can check their instagram I guess. About Regen I had a consultation there but I had to wait for about an hour and I didn't like the consultation there. Honestly, fat graft is probably the same when it comes to results wherever you get...I think prices and the doctors' experiences are the most important things for fat grafting.

 

Long review alert - not good at writing but good at jst talking endlessly.

Hi guys. I am writing this review to share my journey for PS in South Korea from the beginning until the end.
I got so much help from the chat rooms from Kakaotalk, which is a Korean messenger like whatsapp and it has this 'Open chat rooms' where anyone can join and talk freely about a topic. There were many plastic surgery chat rooms where I got to meet many people who were interested or who already got their PS in Korea. The people there mentioned this forum often so I am writing here wishing I can give back a little.

I first thought of getting my nose done cuz I had like NO bridge and my tip was too upturned (like a 'pig') and I hated that so much. Also I wasn't really fat but I couldn't get rid of flanks/lovehandle/lower ab fat so I also wanted to get lipo on my lower ab area. I went to do a consultation in Florida but then it was too expensive and also I wondered if the doctor was able to do Asian nose - I was born in the US but I am half Singaporean. Anyways so I was browsing through insta to look for plastic surgeons good at Asian faces and I discovered about Korean PS.

I always wanted to travel to SK so I thought I would give it a go in Korea - did a lot of research but the most helpful one was not the internet but this open chat for me. People share their consultations, experiences and before&after pics right after surgery. They also share the whole experiences so I was less scared or nervous about going to Korea (thank you guys).

Anyways so I heard a lot about Namu, Hyundai, View and Nana from the chats so I got online consultation from them. Nana and View were more expensive than Namu and Hyundai. I liked Nana and Namu's online consultations better than others because the consultants seem more professional (in terms of medical knowledge) and like they really cared each patient as PEOPLE. So if you contact them via Kakaotalk, they can see your pictures and suggest you what you can get and also give you price quotations. They also book for you. Consultations were all free for all 4 of them and the services they offer are slightly different but mostly the same (hotel discount or offer / pick -up / translator etc)

I decided to visit Nana, View and Regen because they are like almost next to each other. I booked consultations only and did not pay deposit. To secure your surgery schedule you need to pay a deposit and it was about 1 million won. Some clinics seemed to give you discount if you pay deposit. On the second day of my arrival I went to these three clinics. They were all very easy to find.
I hated Regen, because I waited for like an hour and they seemed to NOT care about visiting patients. The doctor was also very like...cold-ish. I liked View and Nana so I did some negotiations there for prices. I think I managed to get about +3 million won discount. I liked both doctors for my nose (view and nana) but I liked Nana's doctor more for my lipo so I decided to go with nana. I had to wait a few days for my surgery though because the doctors were fully booked.

On my operation day - I fasted for 8 hours. Super thirsty. Saw docs again before surgery to draw designs on my nose and body. (You have to be naked doing this which was super awkward) Nana's translator (Kylie - super sweet) came into the operation room with me after she helped me get checked up and changed for my operation. She helped me with everything - to falling asleep on the operation bed and to waking up! Anyways when I woke up everything was done, felt a bit dizzy and SUPER THIRSTY but it was alright. Kylie said she has never seen anyone wake up and stand up so quickly like me. I walked to my recovery bed and rested there for about 2 hours until I was ok and was discharged.

I had casts / blockages in my nose which they remove after two days. I didn't swell much - Kylie also said I was the person who swelled the least lol and that this is maybe because I used to be a very active person. You need to breathe through your mouth so it's really hard for two days but I was alright after they removed the blockages from my nose. You can take shower but avoid wetting your face and the incision areas. After 7 days you remove things in your nose and all of the threads. I felt so happy to finally get rid of them. I loved my nose even when there was much swelling on my nose. I was so thrilled. Also I was able to take shower freely after that day!

About post-op care, you get a short facial for your nose and get laser treatments for deswelling and recovery. It also eases away some discomfort/pain. They were unlimited and free at Nana. If you request, you can also get deswelling injections from them but I didn't swell as much as average patients (apparently) so I didn't request it.

So this has been 10 days so far and I am loving my results. I can send pictures if anyone wants to see - pm me!
I took a selfie everyday from one day before the surgery until I removed the threads.

To sum up : Rhinoplasty is NO BIG DEAL! Lipo on small sections - also no big deal! Not a lot of pain or hassle and you feel free (although there ARE some cautions to take for 1 to 6 months) after 7 days.
Korea is great in terms of going around (transport), food, hygiene, people's manner, safety (can walk around freely anytime at night - even 3-4AM). Loved my experience in Korea cuz this country is English friendly with signs and everything and Nana was great too. Nana's doctors are super skilled and bent on giving you the best results with less blood spilled which means you recover faster and swell less. Nana's translator helps you get cabs, buy medicines, give you tips for deswelling and even tells you some good restaurants to eat out at and so on. If you are also thinking of getting a PS in Korea, I say you go for it, don't worry too much. & It is totally worth it! You feel like a totally different person just because of your nose.
