From what I have read, the majority of clinics in SK offer Rhinoplasty. It is ranked at the top for the most wanted surgery as well. Obviously lipo is not very popular in Korea as being overweight is shamed so people don't tend to let themselves "get fat" until they are older and just don't care anymore lol Seoul's Gangnam District has the most plastic surgery clinics in the world and there are tons of doctors that specialize in various nose surgeries there.

Curious if there is a way I could contract her? Someone I know wants dental but is not sure on a clinic and EverM Dental Clinic was one that was mentioned.

I would start with what work you want done. Figure that out and then find a clinic. If you are no sure, schedule something locally to get an idea of what you want. You don't need to book a surgery after a consultation.

It is an OMFS. The way you can tell this is based on what they offer. A big portion of their work is jaw correction. This includes things like fixing overbites via surgery. Standard plastic surgery is 100% cosmetic where these types of surgeries are both cosmetic and mechanical corrections.

I have wanted to get my chest done for awhile but my biggest fear was that my breast would look fake and awful. I have seen women that have gotten them (one of my friends) and they just look really fake and really bad. I have a smaller chest and I am not looking to get anything massive. I just want to go up 2 cup sizes but I want them to be shaped naturally. I don't want breasts that look like inflated balloons! What are some clinics in Korea that are known for realistic breast enhancement? And how much does this cost in Korea typically?

I am going to give a second mention for Dr. Gowoonline. Seems like the clinic focuses heavy on non-surgical anti-aging which sounds like what you want. I would look into it, see what sorts of devices they use there and compare costs, results, etc.

Seoul is a massive district. You will find clinics outside of this area but this is considered the hub so most doctors look to practice here.

I would say 95% of the time, no. But some surgeries do require follow-up work. This is something that would be discussed with the surgeon ahead of time. Like if they say they need to do an operation, allow time to heal, and then do a second one. This is rare though.

I don't see very many people asking this but I think it is a question most people have. I want to compile a bit of a resource page for people to look over since I am fairly active in the beauty space online, and I know there is a growing number of people going to Korea for work. What credentials should be looked into for foreign patients when determining the best clinic?

I would think most surgeons sway this way considering the bulk of their clients are going to be local. However, if she wants a place that specifically offers Korean-style surgeries for foreigners, Vava PS seems like a clinic she might be interested in. It is more of a specialty clinic than a bone hospital. It is a good idea to research the clinic before deciding though. I have not looked into this one very much but I do know I have seen others recommend it for this style of surgery.

There are other clinics as well. This is just one example. I figured I would share at least one so everyone reading the thread can get an idea of what to look for when it comes to non-surgical options in Korea. There are a fair bit of them but some of these services are within actual surgery clinics themselves too.

You shouldn't feel self-conscious in an area like this. Plastic surgery is so "of the norm" that people won't think anything of it if you are walking around with swelling. I would focus more on how you feel than how you look. Assuming the after care is good, you should be able to feel well enough to enjoy your trip and not feel the need to stay in your hotel the whole time. Yup! I have seen videos on YouTube of people going there for work. It is normal and no one cares.

Based on what I have looked into in terms of clinics that focus on more natural looking surgeries, Note Plastic Surgery might be a good fit for you. They aren't a big clinic and it is more "spa like". They appear to mainly focus on breast surgeries, nose and eye surgeries, and face contouring. The clinic's location is in the Gangnam district of Seoul.

I know, I just want to make sure people know all their options as laser costs and other options like this can add up fast. It is not always ideal to travel that far to get treatment either.

No experience for me. I don't like traveling with my kids. I did it once and it was within the country but it was a short plane ride away to visit family. I will never do it again! LOL Some kids do fine but it seems like most kids don't but mine were very young. You likely won't have issues with older kids.
