hi Shane, many thanks for your suggestions. I am quite trouble by my poor complexion but I also understand that skin treatment has several sessions like the horrible PS I went last year. I will pop by at Hu'Shu for consultation and see what they say.

the thing you should take away from skin clinic is not how many session, is the option available for you. like i said, skin treatment require many sessions with a weekly interval scedule. you can't have all your session within one or 2 weeks. unless you planning to stay in seoul long term, its best not to take up skin care in korea. but go and visit them anyway. see what skin clinic in seoul has to offer or what they recommend for your case and see if you can seek similiar treatment back in your own country. certain skin treatment option such as PRP, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing, etc is widely available in every country at a more cost effective price. what you may not get else where is the professional advice which korean skin clinic are known for. so go in there and see what they suggest for your skin condition. and if its a common treatment available in your country, then you need not to do it in seoul.

With Dr. Hong, it was around 20 min I think. He explained in very details.
I stayed in Korea for 2 weeks, so technically no. I didn't stay till the swelling goes away. but major swelling went away for me after 2 weeks. You will see when you see my 13 day post op picture.

It is not a translator that they have to engage form outside because they have a lot of staffs that speak English or mandarin working there assisting patients. As for the pick up it really doesn't cost much too, as a matter of fact most big hospital have that service and their cars are really lux, if you going to do surgery that cost thousands or ten thousand what is a pick up to them it's just a service. Let said if they really factor in the cost , how much will it cost? Another $50 buck? Compare what u r paying for the procedure that's peanut! Well if really concern that they really going to add ten twenty percent to your cost by taking their pick up service so you may want find your way there, it's easy to get to them on the subway.

All the best to you surgery.

I think this is where you would end up paying them commission. Like Benlee said, it is better to contact the ps clinic on your own...

yeah ! that's what I was thinking too!! yeah it probably would be better to
directly contact the ps clinic !

Congratulation on finally making a decision to do PS either BK or ID is an excellent choice. So I have no doubt that you would be very please with the result that you get from either one of these 2 clinics I suggest that for the first night in korea while you still decide between BK or ID to find a cheap motel to bunk until you made your decision. I stay in highland the first 2 night before checking into BK recovery room, unless of course you pretty setttlemon BK for your surgery then you can immediately bunk into their guest house. But I would still suggest that you bunk else where until you decided between BK or ID. You never want to lose that leverage By choosing one clinic when you have other option.

September will be near the end of summer and the beginning of fall in seoul. So it will be breezy but not cold. But I suggest you bring an umbrella with you since rain may be a daily occurrence. When I left, the weather in Seoul is beginning to cool down, especially in the evening. I remember when I was there the first few night, the weather there were freaking hot, even late in the evening. But the last few night when I was there, it was cooler. So bring plenty long slack with you. You need not to bring a sweater as the weather doesn't required you to do so just yet. Some short Tee would suffice.

You can get in touch with Joanne of ID and Anna of BK for your appointment. But if you want, I can assist you to make the arrangement with both ID and BK since I am close friend with both Anna and Joanne. I could kakao talk them personally to set up your appointment. All I need is your name, the date and time you wish to consult, and the kind of procedures you interested to do. You could easily schedule your appointment via their website, but I'll be able to set it for you faster through KAKAO TALK.

In term of food, if you choose to do the surgery at BK, you would have to pay for your own meal. The only option there is porridges which cost between 6,000 to 12,000 KRW. The consultant will ask you to purchase at least 2 set a day, lunch and dinner, but base on personally experience, one set should hold you well for both lunch and dinner. Remember, we talking about a day or two after the surgery. So you might not have such a hardy appetite, but that's just me. Btw, if you do choose to go with BK, the first 2 to 3 night, you will stay in their recovery room at the clinic. After that you will be moved to the guest house.

Now if you were to choose ID, you will be thoroughly fed the entire time you're recovering at their hospital. But you will only be fed fiber drink which really loose it's flavor after a while. But at least you won't be paying for your own meal which add to your saving. Usually after you check out of their clinic, there would suggest that you purchase a box of their fiber drink which can be good or bad depending on how well you get used to the taste. There are two type of fiber drink you can purchase, one is sweet and another one is really sweet. Even though I bought the fiber drink after my two jaw, I never drank a lick of it. I only drank the pumpkin juice that there provided a box for me free of charge. There is porridge shop right across ID clinic which you can try. It's a little pricey but it taste real good. You can ask Joanne the actual location of the place.

As for expenses, I would say about 100,000 to 120,000 KRW per day including accommodation, that is assuming you're staying at highland which cost around 66,000 a night. If you're staying at BK guest house, you can knock that number down to around 40,000 to 60,000 KRW a day. This doesn't include transportation or shopping expenses that you may incur. I say if you wish to live comfortably for 2 weeks, bring around USD$ 1800. if you just wish to get by while you there, then you're looking at around USD$ 1200 to 1500. My entire expenses while I was here for 3 and a half weeks was about USD$ 1200 dollar which include accommodation, food and transportation. It used to be more for less time here, but after my fourth trip to Seoul, you learn a few tricks that help you save on cost

And to answer your final question, yes, I have had an alar reduction done along with an alar lift.

Hope this answer your questions.

Thanks for ur tips Shane. Well I were to go for ID it means I need to pay for accommodation. Haha! So it's the same I guess. Is ID and BK far away from each other? I hope I can stay at somewhere that provides rice cooker or small kitchen so that I can cook my own porridge.. Hopefully... Trying to save...

So u just had ur alar reduction not the nostril?



Is this the procedure?

Which is the best budget hotel?highland hotel,sunshine or young dong?only highland hotel puts price on their website the rest don't. I m going in mid dec...i hope the winter holiday in korea hasnt started at that time..

I email regen and they said their hospital policy is not to reveal the price over the net, theu can only tell me after they do a consultation with me.

I actually like the result on grand for v line and zygoma but seems like nobody been to grand.why is it so?its one of the biggest clinic In korea.


Is 14million won enough for v line and zygoma? How much living expenses should I allocate for a month stay?

I feel like staying at a bigger place with similar price of 100k won per night but with own kitchen n bedroom..however its fifty minutes away from apugejong.is it a wise choice?

Which website did u guys book ur hotel?

my pleasure. even if you choose BK, you may still need to pay for accomodation since the number of say you allow to stay at their guest house is limited. but at least you get to save some money on days when you're staying at their guest house. ID and BK is a bit far from each each other. BK is located at sinsa dong while ID located at Apgujong. hotel highland is situated smack right down the middle between the two clinic, although it does take a little longer to reach ID by foot if you're staying at highland. but the very least the distance allow you to get your daily walking requirement needed after the surgery, which is always a plus. i remember back in june when when i met up with this forum member who stayed in a service apartment that has a kitchen, a washing machine and everything. you might be interested to stayed there. but its really far away from BK and ID. plus i heard it was kinda costly if you're not sharing it with someone else. i think just the distance alone may turn you off from staying there. but of you want, i try to get the name of the apartment for you.

yup, thats alar reduction surgery. commonly known as a wing reduction.

Hi everyone.
I am planning to go to korea in mid december for facial contouring and has been researching on zygoma reduction and v line for few months. I have been reading on china,taiwan,hk forums as well. The general consensus is thay zygoma reduction will 100% makes ur skin sags...just that the severity differs from peole.

I contacted the china translator who has many years exp in korea, helping others to translate. She told me that ID used to be a good clinic but for these past two years, clients that went there have been getting really lousy results and she dun recommend me to go there even though her own v line was done in ID.

She also mentioned that Grand looks down on China people, even though I m not from china but I am a chinese. I am interested in doing it in Grand, one of my top few choices but now I am a little hesistant. She said that some of her clients gt their faces screwed up and grand refused to do revision on them, in the end they got it done somewhere else.

I chanced upon a forumer who said he is a medical student n he posted saying that facial contouring is not lasting. The effect is not forever and after ten twenty years down the road, our face will collapse!i am nw very scare. He said pushing in of zygoma n cutting of jawbones destroyed the membrane n after few yeara down the road the fragile bones.will not be able to support our face then it will collapse...anybody knows if its true?it seems legitimate, he posted a very detailed.post with lots of xray pic to support his claims.

I msg zoe on the lists of clinics I wanted to visit, among them were banobagi,cinderella,smallface,id,regen,grand. She recommended id,regen n banobagi but lots of.ppl had been complaining abt ID and banobagi has some hits and misses when I look through the before n after pictures.of cos, pictures cannot be trusted so I probably will go down and consult the doc before making a decision


I email cinderella two weeks ago but no reply. They seems to have pretty gd reviews although not many...

I have always wanted a smaller face but nw I am scare ..still I hope to get my surgery done asap.

I have consulted item dr kim and bk dr kim when they were in sg. Consultation was rushed n dr kim from bk kept asking me to do my boobs even though I came to see him for face! He said I am tall n my boobs r too small for my height. I nvr wanted to have boobs done and I am skinny, I have no wish of having a big boobs but he asked me thrice abt whether I m sure tt I am not interested in an BA..argghhhh..

Dr Kim from item,I gt a feeling he is out for my money. I told him I was interested in making my face smaller, he touched my face and said I needed a cheekbone reduction and I have prominent jaws , he said my chin is good BUT continued saying he will make my chin sharper. I was like wth, if I have nice chin why did he want it to be sharper? And his assistant told me they have a special needle to slim the face, I asked her is it lipodissolve, she said no,its a new technology and said will only tell me by dropping me an email...zzz . When the email arrived, there was no mention of this special needle she
So BK and item r out of the list for me.

Anybody planning to go this dec? I am hopping for buddies to support each other.pls pm me.

Cheers

Hi all,

I can't PM yet as am a new user. Looking to leave SG 13 Dec and be back just before New Years.

26F from Singapore. Drop me an email at [email protected] and we could plan together

Ok, I just booked my plane ticket. I'll be in Korea on January 7th. Unfortunately, the clinics don't open late so I'll have to go visit clinics the next day. I'll be there until the 23rd. I booked Nox Bouquite hotel for 77 USD a night for a few days after the surgery. Its about a 5 minute walk from the Yeoksam station I think? After that I plan on staying at Hotel Korea for the remainder of my stay because I want to save money.

I also got really nervous and brought up the plastic surgery with my boyfriend. I only mentioned that I was going to get rhinoplasty. I didn't say anything about getting V-line :x He just looked EXTREMELY uncomfortable with I brought up the topic. I asked what he thought and he said, " Do what you want to do. Do whatever makes you happy."
So I guess that's the green light! lololol. And he's absolutely right. It's my body.

If anyone is in the area and wants to meet up feel free to let me know.
