Be it from aging or just old wounds, pimples, etc. what options are there to correct this and what clinics are known for it in South Korea? I would imagine most people have scars or marks they don't like, especially as they get older. A lot of people end up with age spots. I have seen people in their 40s with them but I have also seen and met people well into their 60s and even 70s with minimal if any at all. I guess it depends on genetics and how much time you spend in the sun. I know too much sun damages and ages the skin, but we have known about this for decades. I do my best to not be in direct sunlight any longer than 30 minutes at a time. Anyways! As I said, I am looking for options to fix issues like this. I know they exist but I don't know what there is out there. Surgical or non-surgical. I would appreciate anyone with experience to let me know, especially if you had work for this done yourself. Even if it wasn't in South Korea. I would imagine most treatment options are the same everywhere for stuff like this since it is fairly common and something a lot of people complain about and want to fix.

In my experience 3 is acceptable with no perks or frills. Both 1 and 2 are very budget forward so you really do get the bare minimum with those.

Yeah some people lean to far in both directions. Having some extra weight doesn't mean you are unhealthy but having too much is not good. It really depends on your lifestyle but I do think this kind of body negativity fuels the plastic surgery industry in South Korea. It is likely why they have so many clinics in such a small area compared to other places. California has a lot of clinics too.

I would call it partial buccal fat removal at best. This, pretty much. The sucken in faces are haunting and look so bad. No one in Korea wants to look malnourished or sickly like a lot of American women. lol

I am blown away by how many plastic surgery clinics are in Korea. I haven't even heard of these ones, well outside of one of them. Thanks for sharing all this.

I did a quick search and these are recommended by AI. I have not confirmed anything so please research them a bit better!

In Korea, being fat is shameful. People in public will point it out. If you are younger, you are expected to be in shape. I think the only time it doesn't matter is if you are like 50+ in age. An online friend of mine goes to Korea every year to visit family. She said that the one year she had gained weight, EVERYONE noticed.

Factory clinics see a TON of people every day. They are about budgeting, speed, and getting people to buy as much as possible.

Rhinoplasty is probably the most popular plastic surgery there is, outside of liposuction. So yes, most clinics do offer it. I have yet to find a clinic that only works on noses but I have come across doctors that do!

Yes, it is normal. Just seems weird/out of place for people that aren't familiar with the app and world market. Not a red flag, no worries.

I think the surgery options themselves are amazing when you find the right doctor. The trouble is though, that these can eventually form again and look worse over time as you have less skin every time you get work done under your eyes. You have to be mindful of that and work with a doctor that truly understands. I am not up to speed with the clinic you mentioned but I have heard of it, not the doctor though. In passing it seems like a decent clinic. You don't have to settle with just one. Keep that in mind. Contact all of the ones you feel comfortable with. In most cases, they will respond fairly quickly and you can get better insight about the doctors, clinics, prices, procedures, etc. first hand instead of relying on what someone says online. You can find some more direct experiences in the forum's Discord or browse experiences on places like Reddit... but again, first hand knowledge is best. Just contact them.

That is a good enough reason to me. Just go with what you feel is right for you. Not everyone wants to spend a lot of time in Korea, some can't afford to. If you can and it is not an issue, just take an extra week. There is a lot to see and do there anyways!

Happy to hear! I did see you on there but I wasn't 100% sure if it was you cause your name was different but now I know. Glad it is helping you out.

I was going to say the same. I have looked for accounts like this and haven't found them but if you follow clinics, you are more likely to be recommended them if they are out there. So you can try that and see what happens!

Okay good, let me know what you find. I found some stuff I thought but it was only local to my location, it seems like you have to do a bit of digging to find something like this. Maybe it would help using a VPN set to Korea.
