myforumyork Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hey there, I've been looking to get rhinoplasty and facial contouring surgery in Korea for the past 2 years. I've researched clinics on Purseforum, Korean websites such as Naver (I'm not Korean, I can just read the language and understand a little bit - what I don't understand, I translate with an online translator). During the two years, I have made a list of clinics that I would personally avoid, either because of botched results or no safety regulations. This is my own personal opinion. I advise each individual to conduct their own research and see what clinics they prefer. I am in no way a professional. Just looking to help people out. The list shows like this:Clinic Name Date of source (MM/DD/YYYY) (SOURCE) Link to source Teuim 12.08.2017 Girl says her fat-graft did not go well and that her eyelid surgery is just okay source: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/976415-1-year-after-des-epi-teuim-fat-graft-fresh-advice/Regen 11.08.2018 Girls says that Regen messed up her v-line and her nerve is too exposed now.

In addition, the plastic surgeons and clinics who have been caught issued a public order on the homepage to clarify that they received corrective orders. The FTC advised that even if you are not a plastic surgeon under the Medical Law, it is necessary to confirm whether or not a plastic surgeon is treating a cosmetic surgery in order to reduce damages such as cosmetic side effects, considering that a doctor's license qualifies for cosmetic surgery.” Corrective measures for 13 PS clinics source:http://www.seoulcity.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=64950 Korean PS (Closed) Izien Plastic Surgery Korean (Closed) Orange Clinic Romian PS Lapians Clinic Opera PS HERSHE Ping Clinic Star Fleur DMIPS Korea Plastic Surgery Grand Plastic Surgery Wonjin 09.05.2019 A woman who underwent eye surgery at a famous plastic surgery in Seoul cannot open her right eye properly for six months after surgery.

CT examination showed that the cheekbones were wide and narrow, the nose prosthesis was crooked, the bones of the nasolabial pad were asymmetric, and the angle of the jaw was asymmetric.

On September 16, 2013, Wu Yuanyuan underwent a nose and hairline down surgery at FaceLine Plastic Surgery Hospital. A severe infection occurred immediately after the operation. After 2 months of anti-inflammatory treatment, a large scar of more than 20 cm in length was left on the forehead. The upper part of the scalp became unconscious and the hair fell off a lot. He underwent repair surgery on December 4, 2013 and June 19, 2014, respectively, and the repair failed. Wu Yuanyuan negotiated with the hospital on several occasions to defend his rights. The hospital blatantly slandered that he suffered from serious mental disorders and syphilis, and even used violence against him.

gqwiththesteez Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 IMO every clinic is going to have a dissatisfied customer simply on numbers. I've seen a few of those sources and would have to agree. But the thread you shared on Regen I posted on and I even asked Dr. Oh about that particular patient. There is a reason she does not share pictures on PS and Real self. She actually did post on Real self but everyone was complimenting her pics which went against her 'negative review'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myforumyork Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 ** UPDATE ** (Again, every clinic has good and bad reviews. Whoever is reading should make their own decisions based on which clinic/doctor they choose. The only reason I post these clinics is not because of the result- which can differ from patient to patient- but things like clinics not doing proper aftercare if the surgery goes wrong, or forging documents.)Namu 01.25.2019@ifterms has permanent brow loss and scarring (Dr. Kirk botched a brow lift), and the clinic also apparently forged documents. source: https://beautyhacker.com/members/ifterms.661292/Braun 07.21.2017@Height received rhinoplasty, which 2 years later, resulted in uneven incision scar and a big depression on one side of the nose. Now, they brush her off when she tries to contact them. source: https://beautyhacker.com/members/height.504002/02.12.2018 @hohohalmoni stated that "Last year I also went to Braun for a butterfly implant consultation (a procedure that is done by inserting butterfly-shaped silicon implants into the sunken area next to the alars to improve smile lines and flat cheeks) that only they proceed, but they were rude and pushy about me putting a deposit, so I immediately crossed them off the list." source: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/885801-theline-plastic-surgery-just-fishished/page-13#post-3204370703.06.2017 @mirabelle7 stated "Wow that's shocking to know. I actually considered Braun for FC but no way am I letting them rip me off A friend of mine had her primary rhino done at Braun. Not sure how much she paid but the result was too masculine for her liking and she ended up having a revision done." source: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/948429-need-to-know-braun-prices/page-3#post-31131204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepelau Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks for sharing this, but just in my opinion, there is no clinic with 100% satisfied clients, nowhere in the world. According to your list, all english - speaking clinics must be avoided because one or two people said that they don't like the result or because of 2-7 years old news, some of which don't even state clinics names (?). And I totally agree with your advise on doing personal research, I would also recommend rely on face-to-face consultations and your feeling after it.

silverneedle Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks for compiling this list. This thread should be pinned imo. please also add clinics with death: Ollim , mvp, jaejun, wonjin, before and after. grand and wonted had deaths too bu you already mentioned them source: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/979623-the-clinics-that-has-0-medical-accidents-for-bone-contouring/#post-32026542https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1025738-for-awareness-another-surgery-clinic-death/ Death at MVP mentioned in miss orange's thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverneedle Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I also know from experience that one popular clinic mentioned here is very not recommended. I wish I hadn't completely believed all the glowing reviews. to anyone reading this, if you see a glowing review on purse forum, please don't believe it that easily. look up the clinic's name using the search bar and read every post that comes up. pay more attention to the negative reviews than the positive ones. also, check the post history of the reviewer. in fact many popular clinics have staff that are constantly monitoring purse forum and kakao ps groups. I respectfully disagree with other posters here that say all clinics will have unsatisfied clients anyway. most of the time botched results are caused by clinics that try to do as many surgeries as possible in a day. the exception is when someone is unsatisfied because the result is too natural or too dolly. this is not botched, only a matter of the doctor's style not matching your preferred aesthetic.

ebichu7 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I totally agree with you. I noticed some people call it this way. Botched is something done WRONG, aesthetics can't be wrong. That's why it's so important to do research well, check before and after, so we end up looking as close as we can to our ideal version of ourselves.
