ebichu7 Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 If you guys search 닥터 벤데타 on youtube you can hear about tragic plastic surgery cases in Korea, some with video footages. Not all videos have eng subtitles but recent ones usually have it~ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcAr8jkpscsMfSeaNYzJwNg

dawnee Posted March 30, 2020 Posted March 30, 2020 omg. this post should be pinned right at the top! thanks for sharing everyone!
stargaze123 Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Everyone should avoid Regen too! Dr. Oh is the worst ! He performed a full v line on me without my consent and told me the next day he changed the mini v line we agreed to for a full v line. My jaw is almost all shaved off and numb I reviewed the scans with Oromaxillofacial surgeons and they said he cut my nerve line. Dr lee is horrible too. Suyen and Alice Lee the consultants are unresponsive. Read my thread
myforumyork Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 Hey guys, it's been a while since I last posted. I've been busy trying to compile news/articles/sources for many other plastic surgery clinics that I've been interested in. So far, I'm looking into The Face Dental, EverM, and EU Dental. Once I have enough information, I will post about these clinics. For now, I want to share some resources that would also help you guys in choosing your own PS hospital. ILLEGAL BROKERS: It's scary going to a new country to get plastic surgery, just to be ripped off by promoters/brokers. Here are some news sources explaining how they work to promote plastic surgery clinics and increase prices for the procedures:South Korea detains 11 illegal plastic surgery brokershttps://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2015-05/27/content_20834305.htm Police book illegal brokershttp://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2019/05/113_203056.html "South Korea's Health Ministry has made a platform to report illegal brokers on the official medical tourism website www.medicalkorea.or.kr and added a new list of estimated costs of popular procedures in a bid to prevent overcharging." This website is in Korean, but with some help from an online translator or friend, it's very easy to navigate.
myforumyork Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 TAX REFUND AND WHAT PROCEDURES QUALIFY: There are laws in Korea that stated for certain procedures you can get a tax refund from the government, if you are a foreigner. These are the procedures you can get refunded on: "Double Eye-lid, Rhinoplasty, Breast Surgery(reduction/augmentation), Liposuction, Face Lift, Facial bone contouring, Teeth Whitening, Laminate, Gingivoplasty, Orthognathic surgery Nevus pigmentosus, Freckles, Lentigo, Chloasma, Pimple, Hair removal, Hair loss, Hair transplantation, Tattoo, Tattoo removal, Piercing, Lipolysis, Skin regeneration, Skin Whitening, Anti-aging, Pore tightening" (Visit Medical Korea, 2020) "Dental treatments that require teeth realignment and braces are excluded. Reconstruction surgeries for congenital deformities or post-tumor removal are also excluded." (source: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20160401000159) These websites below will show you how to get the refund, what documents/receipts are required, which hospitals offer the refund (as of March 2020):https://english.visitmedicalkorea.com/web/board/BD_board.view.do?domainCd=2&bbsCd=1001&seq=20160401141258262https://myseoulsecret.com/korean-plastic-surgery-vat-refund/ You can also take your receipts from the clinic to a department store (Lotte, etc.) which will tell you if it is acceptable. If not, go back to the clinic and ask them for a proper one.
iamdepressed Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 This scares me is there a way to make sure there is no ghost doctor? i want v-line surgery.
steph_0really Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Great, super helpful post! Thank you! I am also worried about ghost doctors, botched surgeries etc. What hospitals can we trust in South Korea? I am in two-minds now.....do I risk surgery or do I be confident in my research and just go for it? Even at "good places" it is still a major risk.....
steph_0really Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 I have searched everywhere for reports on 365MC....is this a good lipo hospital?
amanderson Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Oh wow.. This is really interesting. These are really informative..
