How reliable are American forums like this one for plastic surgery?


Recommended Posts

I’ve been doing a lot of research on PS in Korea and I’m asking my mom for advice since she’s a native. She’s really active on a lot of Korean forums and she tells me that even locals have a lot of complications with PS there. This makes me wary of the legitimacy of American forums like this one which claim to have amazing results.

I’m also 20 and she thinks I should wait til I’m older but I disagree and I have the funds for my rhino and breast augmentation. I want her to come with me to Korea since I don’t speak the language and she does not like the idea at all. Could I get some of your guys’ input on this? Especially the legitimacy of using American forums like this one.

Definitely biased. Lots of promoters here, too. It's helpful but have to take the information with a grain of salt.

Noticed some negative reviews being taken down; not sure what happened to those?? If anyone knows, DM me lol...

Edit: It would be helpful if there were a thread on people who regret having had surgery.

I read on both Korean forums and here. Tbh the korean forums I've been on have not been helpful for the most part, the laws in korea are very strict and so many people don't post the name of the doctor they had a negative experience with. In my experience (I'm korean but my language skills are very basic) a lot of koreans view PS very lightly whereas westerners/americans do a lot more research and are more careful about it. Maybe someone can recommend good korean forums with honest reviews?

I look at korean platforms to see which clinics are popular. Then I look at english-speaking platforms to see what the risks are of the surgery, what to be careful about etc. But I've heard there are a lot of promoters on here too so that makes it hard to believe some reviews that are overwhelmingly possible.

I would honestly join a bunch of Kakao groups and that’s where I got to talk to real people who share real results (good and bad)! Let me know if you want to join them and I can add you!

That's really interesting.... the difference between English v. Korean forums.
I might have to join them. What are the groups like? For instance, are they for specific clinics or like general PS?

The groups have a bunch of people 150-300 people. I’m in 1 general group chat and 2 specific to the clinics but we all talk about all kind of PS doesn’t matter the title. There isn’t really a specific clinic we have to talk about making it easier for everyone to share whatever they got.
