nellac Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hey y'all, this might sound dumb/stupid or whatever but what do you usually ask when contacting clinics online etc.? Because what I've heard is that you rarely talk to the doctor him/herself but to some translator (?) or staff at the hospital/clinic that speaks english. I might be wrong, I really don't know since I'm just saying what I've heard. In that case, what kind of questions can one ask when contacting them on kakao/whatsapp etc.? Is it sufficient to only do an online consultation? How do y'all choose to do a f2f consultation with them or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenthebeautiful Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I asked the price and if they think I need a surgery I want online. And I thought consultation should be with the doctor? Because doctor should do the surgery, not the translator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachyoghurt Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 You can ask any question regarding any plastic surgery, and some clinics are big on online consultation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice7074 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just sent my photos into a few different clinics, so I'm still waiting for my online "consultations" to come back. I imagine that a Dr. would evaluate the photos on a preliminary basis just to get the ball rolling for potential patients. I know seven years ago, I did a skype consultation with a revision rhinoplasty specialist in San Diego - unfortunately, I couldn't afford to get the surgery done because he quoted $10,000. At any rate, maybe some places offer video calls. And I'm guessing if there's enough communication between you, the translators, and the Drs., then you can move forward with face-to-face consultations.

daffycakes Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 From my experience, the consultant will evaluate what you want/need first and give you a generic ballpark quote. If you're a foreigner, they will quote high so when you go to f2f consult, you can bargain. There are only a few clinics I've come across where the actual doctor will respond to chats/email inquiries and you can request a video chat consult with smaller clinics.
