Hi Amy, After meticulous hours of research, I, too, found an interest in Cocoline. Everyone who got their rhinoplasty done at Cocoline mentioned Dr. Kim. I got into contact with Cocoline via Kakaotalk, and asked for an online consultation with Dr. Kim. Unfortunately, they told me that he has since left Cocoline to open his own clinic. You can reach out to Dr. Kim directly on LINE. His LINE app ID is iatros99. His clinic site is www.1stbutton.com He got back to me within minutes to discuss my photos and what I wanted. He’s super nice, but he didn’t seem too confident in being able to give me the results I wanted, even when I asked for a slightly taller tip. I think he goes for a really natural look, using autologous cartilage only. My concern was that I wasn’t looking to lift my bridge at all, just tip-plasty, and I sent him two photos lowering my tip from the original desired result using a photo editor. The results he wanted to give me were barely noticeable. So, keep that in mind. If you want a super natural look, I think Dr. Kim would be the perfect doctor. I personally want a more noticeable change because I’m willing to travel across the globe and spend money and time. I want people to say I look very different (in a good way). Pricing through Dr. Kim is pretty reasonable. Here is his direct quote to me: “A Rhinoplasty costs about 3000-3500USD, a fat graft costs about 1500USD.” I also asked Cocoline after they told me that Dr. Kim left if the Before & After photos on their website was done by a doctor that’s still currently there. They read my message and never got back to me. That seemed a little sketchy. That’s all the advice I can give you from what I’ve gotten back from both Cocoline and Dr. Kim. I hope this helps!!

Hi everyone, I’ve been a long time lurker, and finally decided to post because I’m flat out frustrated. I’m 27 years old and female. My first cosmetic surgery was back when I was 18. I went on a trip to Korea to get DES from Ruby and got a little botched. It doesn’t look HORRIBLE, but I do need the help of makeup to hide the asymmetry. For years now, I’ve been wanting rhinoplasty and because I’m Asian, I don’t trust western plastic surgeons. Ideally, I want to put my trust into a Korean doctor, but it seems that no clinic is trustworthy in Korea. They’re all run like scam businesses. I’ll see a good review for a clinic, then see another person saying they were totally botched. Doctors constantly leaving clinics and changing to new ones (which is sketchy to me). Weird marketing tactics and discounts in exchange for (positive) reviews which skews transparency in reviewers. I can never know what’s real or not. These serve as just the tip of the iceberg. I’m starting to feel disheartened and discouraged by all this because I’ve wanted this procedure for 8+ years now, but can’t tell what’s a good clinic and what’s not. No one wants to get botched, and I feel going to incessantly rotational PS clinics like the ones in Korea increase the likelihood of that, with the possibility of shadow/ghost doctors, surgeon burnout, overall carelessness, etc.
