coldwater02 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I wouldn't go there, at least not for rhino. Edward Avilla went there and his nose looks extremely fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray_ram Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 I looked at his videos on Youtube and its not too bad, it doesnt look VERY different from his original nose to tbh... I thought it was the opposite and didnt look different enough.. I am looking for a drastic change in nose Who would you recommend @treppenwitz for a male nose rhinoplasty in South Korea ?

coldwater02 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 i don't have any specific recommendations because it depends on the doctor's style and what you want, but if you're doing only nose i don't see why you wouldn't go to a nose-only clinic like cocoline (natural) or hanabi (dramatic).

ray_ram Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 I had a look at these, but Hanabi operations didnt seem to have much different and I cannot find any before and after photos (or videos) from cocoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelsylee Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hello, actually i am searching for best PS clinic for me to and I am trying to search online and I found some helpful sites like seoultouchup, jivaka care, kakao talk group chats, charmfidence (APP), realself, and this purse forum. Among this site I found charmfidence really helpful cause I found real time clinic reviews there and also I got consultation with quotation (need to find the cheapest but good clinic LOL xD ). Please update us if you found good clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray_ram Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 "cheapest but good clinic" haha - I think if you want a good reliable safe clinic that will give results, you need to be willing to spend a little more than lower end clinics or clinics with negative reviews.

kelsylee Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 yeah! you're right that's why I'm still currently in searching stage and waiting for more quotation in Charmfidence App. What if there will be a clinic that will give me a lower quotation with less negative reviews right? haha lol xD. Of course every clinic that gives me quotation,I double check their Clinic info and review. That's called smart buyer LOL . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppur Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi guys, I have been to answer plastic surgery clinic for rhinoplasty. so before I begin, please let me know ANY questions regarding this clinic and I'll gladly let you in on my knowledge hehe! Where do i begin??? I found the clinic on you tube with Edward Avila and his nose job. Lets get this straight, Edward and I have extremely extremely different noses! Im a native New Zealander and we have very large bony noses with big humps and droopy nasal tips. I went to answer plastic surgery since Dr Choi only performs a maximum of two surgeries each day. some clinics do more than five per doctor, horrible i know! I wanted my doctor to be refreshed and not tired. Anyway let me talk you through my process. I first gotta hold of them on Facebook messenger which was super handy and they were able to offer me a 'estimated price' for my rhinoplasty. They offered FREE airport pickup which was a bonus, and led light therapy to reduce swelling! After looking at other clinics, due to several factors I decided to go to Answer. Keep in mind, Dr Choi is the only DR at this clinic, so he knows he is fully responsible for every single patient. Some hospitals have so many Dr's i cant even keep track lol. I think it was the night before my surgery I got a message from my English speaking consultant reminding me not to eat 8 hours prior, which at that time I was so nervous I didn't even think about eating haha! The day of surgery, wow let me tell you this, give yourself enough time to find the clinic, I got lost and was almost late to my surgery hahahaha, Gangnam alone is so much bigger than where I come from and I was travelling alone. When i entered the clinic the first thing I noticed was that it was extremely clean, and the receptionists who in my opinion... were very much... 'worked on' let me just say that, if im totally honest with you, I didn't really like the receptionists they seemed quite moody, but I didnt actually talk to them, when you go to Answer plastic surgery clinic, you dont have to do anything, the consultant will meet you and take you through every step of the way. Theres not one moment where you have to speak Korean or do anything by thought which I found super helpful Now onto the consultants. There were two or three consultants which I met, their job was to stand by myside through the whole process, they helped translate with the Dr, they held my hand when I was getting put under which was kinda scary, if anyone wants to know just let me know below otherwise you dont need to hear haha. After surgery the consultant will take you down to the first level of the building where the chemist is and help you get the right medicine (bring money for this since its not included in the price- if i remember it was like $30 bucks or something- really cheap) And since you cant drive you have to get picked up. I was so scared to look for a bus or train after getting lost on my way to the clinic so I asked if the consultant would help call a taxi, and with NO HESITATION she said OF COURSE! Not only did she take me to the side of the road, she walked me under the station and to the total opposite side of the road so that the taxi would be faster and cheaper since that was the direction it would go. This was totally not necessary, but I really appreciated her assistance, she was so caring! Okay rewind prior to meeting the consultant, before surgery, she took me to a private room to get dressed. The same one Edward got dressed in. Guys, the pant and shirt were purple.... floral.... and pretty. Im 6.3 so it was a little... odd hahahaha! I didnt mind though. So after i got changed, they asked if i could go to the bathroom just to make sure I was absolutely empty haha. After that they took me to a room to discuss things like expectations, and what I wanted to happen. I had to sign things etc... Then one of the plastic receptionists (oops) came and took my blood pressure which was too high so they gave me this pill thing to drop it apparently. Damn I really wished that lady had tried to speak English, a simple Hello wouldve made me feel much better, well at least I ahd my friendly consultant to tell me my blood pressure was too high hahahaha. After I got the pass, I went to the Drs office for my consultation. He felt my nose, inside and out, took photos and did that computer editing thing where I can get an idea of what my nose might look like after surgery. It was cool, but guys, I personally dont trust those things. Rhinoplasty is a tricky surgery and I dont think a computer editing can actually give an accurate idea of what your nose will look like. Anyway, the Dr answered any questions I had, he was very patient and didnt rush me or anything, and didnt try tell me I should have other work done! I was kinda confused when I first met the Dr since he seemed to be really kinda moody. He didn't have a big smile on his face, he didn't ask how I was or anything like that- maybe its just because I'm from New Zealand and to do that is kinda rude. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT. in saying that, he was extremely professional. he did take his time and was extremely patient when i had questions etc. He DID NOT rush me at all, and made it very clear what he'd do in the surgery. I'd rather a somewhat reserved doctor who does his job really well than a smiley doctor who leaves you botched. ANYDAY! Finally after the consultation, I had to pay, I paid in cash since if you pay cash you won't need to pay tax. Here's the funny thing, the cost at the clinic was a little higher than the estimation since a little more had to be done to my nose than expected. The thing is, I didnt bring enough cash and I was so scared I went pale. The consultant saw that I was freaking out so she said dont worry, we'll find a way. I ended up paying what I had at the clinic and then paying the remaining $400 the next day during my first check up. I was so grateful to the Dr who let me do this, but also to the consultant for being able to tell I was freaking out lmao. After paying (kind of), i was taken to the surgery room. I scheduled the consultation the same day as my surgery since its easier that way for me. I was scheduled for my surgery at 2.30 if i can remember clearly but there was a slight delay due to the prior patient (remember there are only two patients each day and I was the second). Wow, the room was very clean! I wont go into detail about the process from here, but I woke up in another room and the consultant brought me some pumpkin porridge and pumpkin juice. I really enjoyed the stuff so my consultant sneaked some extra pouches in my bag for me haha! YUM Okay was the first day good enough? Anyway second day... not much to say other than the checkup where the Dr made sure everything was healing well, the nurses gave me some kind of shot probably antibiotics or something and I had a light therapy to reduce swelling which was cool! I had one more of these 'checkups' two days ahead of that. Finally my last checkup on the seventh day was when he removed everything for good. As for results.... Immediately, I wanted to cry. Initially i really really hated my nose. It was due to swelling, but im very impatient and want to see results immediately. I kept telling myself, just hold up man and let your body do its thanggg. It can take up to a year and a half for my type of nose (thick skin and oily) to heal and I'm upset at seven days???? Get. with. it! Anyway, pass a week, and my nose looks 'better', pass two weeks and my nose looks 'fine enough to go outside', pass three weeks and I'm kinda shocked at how nice its starting to look. Its been a while since my surgery and I like my nose... A LOT. Is it perfectly straight and perfectly pointy? Not exactly. Is it wayyyyy straighter and wayyyy pointier than before? HECK YES The thing is not to go into surgery with unrealistic expectations. Im happy with my nose now because it looks natural, it fits my face nicely and and I can breathe so much better! To the comment earlier mentioning how Edward Avila's nose looks fake, i do think a lot of that is due to his preference and maybe even the way he contours his bones. Me and my nose is evidence that Dr Choi is extremely talented and will give you natural results if thats what youre after. Keep in mind, rhinoplasty is Dr Chois specialty and safety is his priority! Now onto ratings.... Price- 9/10 Clinic- 10/10 (great location and very clean facilities) Staff- 8.5/10 Consultants 20/10 (lol) Dr's bedside manner 8/10 (coming from a New Zealander) Results- really hard to say. 9/10?? (on one hand it is such a huge improvement I cant even tell you how grateful I am to Dr Choi, on the other hand me and my unrealistic expectations want a perfect nose... aint gonna happen ahah) So please feel free to ask ANY questions regarding Answer plastic surgery. I'll gladly answer them. I feel so cool that Im one of the only patients who has reviewed the clinic in such detail. call me king! hahaha My overall experience was fantastic, and any negative thoughts I have of it is due to cultural differences between South Korea and here in New Zealand. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakeeye Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 this is the first time I head about this ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppur Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 yeah im aware that there arent alot of reviews. Even when I was looking for clinics I found this frustrating, but you are seeing more people review this clinic on the facebook page and on google reviews. In my honest opinion this is for two reasons. The first is that the clinic doesn't pay people to write false reviews which alot of hospitals will do. This clinic from experience was really honest and gave me results without having to bribe me. The second reason is that its considered a 'local' clinic rather than a large one like id hospital, banobagi etc. I prefer the smaller local clinics as they promise quality over quantity. My doctor was the best in his fields and had a clinic to himself. He was fully responsible for every single patient of his. The prices might be a tad more expensive, but you dont risk being botched haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psanalyst Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Your review is comprehensive but sounds very advertising honestly... I think that people would want to know more about how you found this doctor, what made you decide to choose him over others? I like to know more about it too, thanks.
