Fat grafting is also used to balance the cheeks. It is a bit less invasive and not as expensive from what I have read. They remove some fat from another area on your body and use it in your face. It is your own tissue so it is considered a safe option for most people. It requires zero cutting into the bone too so it isn't as "permanent" of an option. Once you shave the bone down, there is no going back. Here is one before and after that shows how it balances the face :

I was going to mention View as I have seen that one recommended a lot but another I would consider is Pride Plastic Surgery. Main reasons I would consider them : English-language website and international-patient information. Multilingual assistance is advertised. English and Korean are listed by an international clinic directory. More evidence of international accessibility than of a long-established medical-tourism reputation.

The trend chasing never made sense to me. I guess it works for locals who want what is considered the latest beauty standard but that changes every so many years.

I believe most clinics in Korea will include aftercare visits in the final cost. So you pay for it up front, this way they can do procedures and not worry about delays. I could be wrong but this is based on everything I have looked into and read. I haven't found a clinic that doesn't include aftercare costs. I think they try to do a single bill that covers everything in one go.

Nose jobs are HUGE in Korea. I also know a number of people from online groups that have gone to Korean clinics just for it.

Oh okay, thanks! And thanks everyone else this was helpful. I figured I would ask here as I assumed someone would know. I just get confused when people are talking online and reading information coming from various sources.

You are having a hard time because that is a large area where I would say 70% of the clinics are. If not more. You will end up spoiled for choice if you don't narrow it down even more. What sort of surgery are you looking to get? I know you want a natural look but you don't mention which surgeries you are looking at.

I wouldn't say they are "new" but they have become trendy. I have seen more and more people talk about them online in the last 2 years, mostly coming out of Korea.

I think that is common these days. Something like botox for example, which is a non-surgical option, will be offered even at high-end PS clinics.

I have been looking into dental and jaw options in Korea for corrective work. The EverM Dental Clinic comes up a lot so I thought I would ask about it here. I am not entirely sure if I am getting accurate information for it or not. Some things I read say it is a plastic surgery clinic while others say it is an OMFS (Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) clinic. I am looking for, what I am assuming for the work I want, and OMFS.

I agree with this. I am always suspicious of these sorts of clinics. The only ones I ever have gone to even locally that have one doctor are dentists. As long as you do your research and check for credentials it should be fine though. I don't like to scare people away from getting work done in Korea.

I am the same way!! It seems like the driest part of the year is the months people are mentioning. I don't know if they do long form or long-range weather forecasts for Korea but they might and you can get a better idea of how the weather will be in a few months.

I follow the r/KoreaSeoulBeauty subreddit for research purposes and remember seeing Note PS do a Q&A of sorts on there last year I think it was. @bellazen it can't hurt to check out stuff like that when researching. I don't participate in this community, just use it for reading. I prefer forum formats.

So you are looking for a rejuvenation clinic more so than a surgical one? I understand not wanting to get any work done that requires surgery. My first time I was mess! As long as you know these sorts of treatments aren't as good or as long lasting, you can get decent results. Just don't think you will get surgical results from a non-surgical approach is all I am saying. Anyways, I don't really research much into these types of clinics but I have seen good things from the Dr. Gowoonline Clinic. You can add that one to your list of clinics to look into more.

I was trying to help someone find resources and ended up finding this thread through a search! LOL! I am just going to tell her to join the forum and get help here. This is a great thread to start her off with though
