You will find conflicting information online but I will tell you, one clinic I always see mentioned as one to avoid is AB Plastic Surgery. I have read horror stories about botched surgeries, rushed practices, and them doing things below board standards.

I am wondering this too. I have never heard of someone wanting to look more or less Korean. Most mixed Asian women are happy with how their look, in fact a lot of people find mixed women in general very attractive. Some of the most beautiful actors and models have been mixed.

You would have to get an idea of what you need. Maybe go to a local dentist and get an evaluation so you have something to send to clinics in Korea, it will make it a lot easier to find a good doctor.

Everything I looked into said it is option unless something goes wrong in which they insist on correcting an issue. This is rare as most people seem to be happy with their work.

Something that has always bothered me was how large my face looked. I don't have a fat face or anything but just large cheek bones. It makes it hard to style my hair without needing to blow it out and fluff it up a lot. I don't have thick hair either. So I am curious what options are in Korea for zygoma reduction, for someone looking to slim down their face and make it a but more symmetrical.

Oh there are clinics that specialize in this kind of treatment? I had no idea. That would probably make them better than most clinics!

I must have had the wrong information. Thanks for pointing that out. I did look it up again and you are right, they are cheaper on average in Korea. I guess that makes sense considering everything else is plastic surgery wise.

It is just liposuction but instead of it being on the legs, arms, or stomach it is done on the back. In some cases you might need a surgical lift as well. It depends on if it is fat only or loose skin and fat. You will be looking at a price point between $3,000 and $8,000 depending on what needs to be done. It is very similar to the costs in America actually from what I have read. For the entire back it will be on the higher end of the price point.

It sounds like you might want scar revision surgery? Z-Plasty and W-Plasty surgeries are both common options in Korea that you can look into more. It makes the scars blend better into natural skin so they are less noticeable and I do know burn victims do have these done as treatment.

I don't even think I have seen or heard of these in other countries. Although I saw something about Texas opening a clinic but I think this may have specifically been for minors. I am not entirely sure. Either way, Korea does not provide anything of the sort.

Sorry for the delay, been super busy and haven't been on the forum in a bit! But yes, it is free. You do not need to pay anything to access the information as it is for public safety purposes.

It depends on the clinic. Some doctors will specialize in certain procedures so they only focus on a set of operations like berrygirl21 mentioned. You can verify any clinic on the official Medical Korea website if you have any concerns!

You can verify a plastic surgery clinic in Korea by cross-checking the facility's registration status on the official Medical Korea website. The site lists institutions certified to serve international patients to make it easy to verify. You can use the "Registered Hospital" search feature on the site to confirm if the clinic for safety, authentication, insurance, etc. etc.

I have not but I have heard amazing things. They have been in business for 25 years and there is a lot of information out there about them and the doctor. You can see pictures from patients and those include many caucasian women.

I always check for reviews with anything, especially things like this. Check on Google. Do a background check into the clinic. Make sure the doctor(s) on staff are board certified. If they seem hesitant to answer questions, avoid them!

I have gone to VIP International Plastic Surgery Center two years ago for nose correction and I had a fantastic experience. They provided both online and in person consultation. I planned ahead and made sure to meet the doctor before anything took place. For places that offer international care, they will or at least should have virtual consultations.
