  1. I did cuz I came across one YouTuber who has experienced a horrible dramatic change to her nose and it was not a good one. That promoted me to ask dr Lee who immediately laughed off my remark, not only dismissing me and the idea that the shape of the nose can change, but out right said "no" there weren't going to be any changes to my nose.
     
  2. What I mean is, this was the first time ever I got any kind of surgery done. If you are considering any major surgery, do your research thoroughly. Doctors and yes including dr Lee, as well as clinics in Seoul in general will try to rush you into getting a procedure. Looking back now, I should've lessened to my gut. I swear the whole experience felt like shopping from a candy shop. I'd ask the doctor something and he will just node in agreement and says " if thats what you want we can accommodate that" I arrived Saturday leaning towards double jaw. I went to two other clinics other thn TFD. One suggested I should get ASO instead. I message dr Lee and I asked him " I'm being told ASO is less invasive procedure, am I a good candidate? " he replied and said " sure". I went to other clinic and the doctor there told me since I missing one premolar on one side, ASO is not an option. Reason being, ASO is pretty much cutting out portion of the jaw where the premolars are located. I messaged dr lee again and told him look at the x ray and asked him again about ASO or double jaw. He thn agreed with the latest opinion and said double jaw is better option for me.
    He suggested lifting my upper jaw 5 cm and 5 back. At the time, I thought this was calculated based on my face but it turned these measurement are generic giving to all patients. Mind you, pulling back the jaw 5 cm might work for Asians or someone with round face, but may not work or look good one someone with longer, sim face. Anybody can pull off barbie nose, but imagine if you pair someone from Indian or African ethnicity with broader facial characteristic and make their mouth and chin extra small. Considerations and customization those measurement so that they compliment each face shape should be the number one focus. My face looks like its collapsed from the middle cuz they pushed back my over bite too much. You need to ask them in details in that regard. Don't get me started on the chin.

    Doctor lee came off very polity and soft spoken and obviously with reasonable prices especially for foreign patients and that attracted me to his clinic but in the end they are all there to make money. This is your face, your passport. I cant get my original face back, I could try to make it less weird looking and unfortuanly and I will have to pay for that.

    My total cost was close to 20 grand USD. 2 surgery and dental work. Do I regret the surgery? yes %1000. I wish I knew what I know now.

    About pictures, Im sorry I dont want to post it on a public platform but I I could share redacted copies privately.
     

  3. This one was the first I get a surgery. I got double jaw surgery and genioplasy 50 days ago at the TFD. I had the most symmetrical face ever. Now I look so weird. Nose, lips, and chin look really weird. My face looks like I got million plastic surgery. I have to go under the knife AGAIN to fix this What unfortunate experience.
     
  4. True and I was impressed in the beginning by the quick and professional response, but all that changed after I went back to my country. I left Seoul quickly after the surgery and I kept running into a lot problems and questions cuz to be honest my surgery didn't turn out the way I wanted and I HATE my result. My face is asymmetrical, especially my nose, its collapsed on one side. Genioplasy turned out awful. My chin looks like a witch chin. I kept contacting the Dr Lee to discuss solutions and ask for invoices to submit for my insurance and he keeps ignoring my attempts. Complete 360 change from after I already paid and become a patine. Horrriable 2 faced clinic and dr !!!!!!
     
  5. what Jessicala said is Correct! At the Face Dental, the atmosphere of the clinic is just another level. The place is spotless! A lot of white and white marble situation going on. Smells is like a million buck - even in the toilet. That reed diffuser must've costed a fortune! Dental chairs and equipment were advanced and brand new. Staff attitude, especially the one the one that gave me the run down of the treatment/price. Definitely, not like other clinics that are run factory style, quote you an outrageous price and push you to make a decision STAT.

    I got here two days ago, and so far, I checked out The Face Dental and Faceline to see if double Jaw surgery or ASO is good option for me to treat protruded mouth and botched dental situation I got going. Eventually, I'll be writing a lengthy post about my experience, but in short let me tell you this, if you interested in getting Oral and/r maxillofacial surgery make sure TFD is on your list!!!!

    What you read about Dr. Lee is mostly accurate. You can directly consulate with him via messenger and he will answer all your questions and injuries. During consultation, you will come to notice how good of a listener he is! He has this calm and patient demeanor, and good command of the english language to explain things thoroughly. His prices are 30% less than other known clinics. The only things I found annoying in the clinic was one of the receptionist. Wasn't quit sure if she was having hard time that day or that was just her personality. She looked the youngest, but she was acting kinda like those annoying unties the mummer and whine every-time they are asked get up or do something. I could hear her sigh and speak to herself through her lips throughout the whole time. Other than that, I was nervous and scared before going but all that went away after I visited the office and met with the doctor.

    As for faceline, STAY AWAY unless you want to pay more just because of the name... I mean, the one positive thing I can give this place is the fact, I was able to get an appointment in a short notice. The night before going, I came across a website called ....... in which I was able to make an appointment for the next day. There was no specific time in the option given, so I chose the morning and decided to show up at 9:45 to see my luck. I came in the and entrance is grand. I walk to the receptionist and because she couldn't speak english, she called someone by the name Emily over the phone to talk to me. I talked to Emily and explained that i made an appointment online and I'd like consultation. She said, we can speak over the phone as she had another appointment at 10. I thought to myself that I should be grateful if they are willing to do this in short notice as I honestly thought she was busy. As soon as I explained I need a consultation for double Jaw and ASO, she jumped and said " I will come down now". I was like what? I guess I'm a big fish now! Can you make it any more obvious? already RED flag. I paid 30 ($30) for x-ray and 200,000 WON ($168) for consultation with the orthodontist. Unlike TDF' treatment plan, Faceline suggested I do the surgery first and fast and then my dental issues. They insisted I commit and pay for the wafer now and schedule the surgery STAT and quoting price was like + 10,000,000 WON more than what I got from the TFD.

    Beside pricing, examination room of the dental office on the other flour was like nothing like the entrance. I swear even in Kenya, I've not come across this poor hygienic situation in a dental examination room. I had two people over my head so I couldn't take more photos than the one which I will share, but just know this, the counters, the equipment, where the equipment are hanged, to the ceiling had red/brownish stains on them that could possibly be even blood. I felt so disgusting and just faked my way out of the office.

    Stay Tuned! and if anyone is here lets connect. I will be her another 2+ weeks :smile:
