best plastic surgery clinics in Korea

[apples]

Hi,

I'm planning to get my nose and eyes done in Korea in late JAN-early FEB, hopefully I can meet up with anyone planning to go then, as I'm going alone

Planning to get my nose and eyes done, but haven't done any consultation yet, just wondering if you guys recommend emailing the clinics the picture first, or just go there directly for consultation?

Thank youu

I had my tiplasty surgery today at JW Clinic.
For the most part, I feel normal, just a bit uncomfortable with a nose stuffed full of gauze...

When I arrived at the clinic for my surgery, Yumi took me upstairs and had me change into the surgery clothes. The 5th floor has both operation rooms and recovery rooms, it's all very clean and the decor is lovely and tasteful. Classical music was playing in the background as I was guided to the operation table. They shaved my nose hairs and stuck a needle into my right arm for the anesthesia. Yumi was with me the whole time, talking to me about random things so that I'd remain calm. I was starting to get panicky and nervous when the anesthesiologist was unable to find my veins (I've been told that my veins are very small from other doctors as well...), but thankfully she only stuck the needle in my arm once and i was good to go.

There isn't much to say about what went down during the surgery... but i did wake up. But I was too groggy to actually feel anything. I managed to mutter, "please make it pretty" in Korean before I was knocked out again. I was later told that they had to wake me up because I wasn't breathing. There was too much phlegm blocking my airway. This is my fault. I was/am a little sick, but I didn't want to have to reschedule the surgery, so I didn't tell anyone.

When I woke up, Yumi half carried me to a recovery room. Even though she had sprained her ankle, she helped me go to the bathroom and back to my room. I can see why most clinics shoo you out of the recovery room within an hour after surgery. By that time, I felt good enough to walk out and take the subway home... But I was allowed to use the room all day because I had come alone, and the doctors/nurses felt bad that such a young child came to do surgery all by herself. I eventually left around 7, and by then i was getting cabin fever with nothing but my ipod to occasionally communicate with people.

Presently, I'm feeling quite hearty. Despite the bloody/stuffed nose.. I'm doing quite well.. Hopefully I'll heal quickly~ My stitches come out next Saturday. I have swelling and a little bruising around my eyes. I'm going to guess this is because I neglected to use the ice pack on my face so that I could watch TV.... Now I'm paying for it...

Tomorrow, I will be going to get my cotton gauze changed and hair washed

That is all~! 'til next time!

Those of you wondering, for JUST tiplasty, I paid 2.65 million krw.

Hi fallenangel...don't be scared too much.. just prepare for it.. it will be over before you know it
There's no need for numbing cream. I don't know if they have it.. they didn't offer it to me... and I didn't ask either coz I just wanted the stitches to be taken asap hehe...
You'll feel very much easier to open/close your eyes after the stitches are gone
Don't worry eventhough Dr Kwon is not around. The nurse will clean up your eyes and put ointment on them. There might be a little bleeding from the stitches wound but it's normal. After a few minutes it would stop by itself. Usually the blood coagulation rate is 1 minute. So this is not to worry about. But I just let you know so you would know what to expect.

Yea I heard about the de-swelling tools.. but I don't think you need it coz you didn't do major facial contouring.

Pineapple works well with me.. at that time I couldn't find it at the minimarts so I bought a slice of pineapple on a skewer everytime I saw some on the street.. KRW1000/ea .. quite expensive I'd say.. but well for the sake of de-swelling hahaha.. also I bought the biggest size pineapple juice (mixed with other fruit) at Jamba Juice Myeong Dong hahaha... in the mean time, I gobbled up a lot of aloe vera juice.

Btw, dont drink pineapple juice on empty stomach.

You should throw away your bread & sandwich and enjoy the myriad delicious food around you hehehe... eat bulgogi, bbq pork, gamjatang, vietnamese pho, steak, etc etc...
It's perfectly okay but you should refrain from consuming alcohol, salty food and seafood..
Some people say it's okay to eat chicken , egg & peanuts.. but I didn't eat those as I believe it can make the wound itch & fester.
Eat lots of veggies... spinach is good for wound recovery.

Well, I think you can now go out and shopping hehehe... don't forget your sunglasses & hat

Tooney, you are such great help. I will start prepping for the stitch removal mentally. Im seeing dr kwon tmrw and will def ask him abt the numbing cream. My eyes are not even at the moment, the left eye can open wider than the right eye. My right eye has always been the problematic one, droopy-er and smaller. Still the same now, I hope it's because both eyes are recovering at different rate. I pray and pray that I do not need revision. Ohhh god, I promise I will be good if you give me symmetrical eyes

Went out with another forumer all day, hitting the stores with a vengeance. Will try to inlclude more veggies into my diet. After the stitches are out, does that mean no more restriction? Or should I continue to observe the same diet for another two weeks?

I know we don't have a right to complain coz this is all self imposed pain and suffering but oh please dear god, let us see light at the end of the tunnel!

You have been really helpful with your tips and advice! I will keep you in my prayers too! Many thanks!

Hi babes,

What do u think of Id pricing? They actually quoted me 2.5mil -3.5mil just for eyelid surgery w/o epi or lateral canthoplasty which i find really ridiculous and so muchhh higher than banobagi or grand or teuim. Not sure if the consultant made a mistake?!

Click to expand...

that sounds right, I'm not sure about eyelid surgery because I'm getting v-lin, 3d zygoma, and fat graft on my forehead. I'm going to korea nov 3 to meet with id, regen, grand and cinderella, i probably will go with grand but i want to which doctor i vibe with the most. Have the sent you simulation pictures yet?

 

[babii-namky]

Cocochanel2012,

ID quoted me double eyelid surgery - 2 mil won, epi- 1 mil, lateral- 1 mil, and i think this is just about right everywhere. Unless you are getting multiple surgeries, then you get more discount ^^
