Indeed he does, but he carry a very heavy korean accent, and you probably need to wear a hearing when he talking to you cause he speak so quietly and soft. but it can be very comforting sometime

Lol. Cool, thanks guys! I've made an appointment to see Anna first and then Dr Shin, so thanks for offering to help Shane! I'll make sure to clean my ears prior to seeing Dr Shin so I can catch every word he says!

Hey hey,
I am doing better everyday, the team in BK was excellent , very caring , they are doing all they could to heal me although I have to stomach four antibiotic jap for the last few days. I meet one of the forumer while at BK waiting for treatment she actually think my nose look really nice now and I do agree too! So like Dr Hong said he put a lot of attention on creating the tip so even now that the silicon is remove the nose will still look good ( bear in mind that my bridge was ok height to work with) now ppl can't tell l have swelling because the scare tissue swell up inside the nose and no longer at the bridge.

Have a nice weekend !

Hello everyone.. I left Korea yesterday. I did double eyelid, epi, ptosis correction @Teuimps.
The result is great. I like the overall looking of my eyes now, eventhough the swelling hasn't been subsided completely. Well I did the surgery on 21st Aug.. so it's still early to say but the progress has been good. I believe my eyes will look even better in a couple of months time.
Dr. Kwon @ Teuimps is really down to earth and very nice in person. He doesn't speak fluent English but he understands and will try hard to answer you in English. But if you don't have a translator with you, his partner - Dr. Kim can translate it for you as he speaks English fluently. No doubt Dr. Kwon is a skillful eye surgeon.. it's his specialty .. he doesn't do other ps.. only eyes, but also his personality is comforting (at least that's how I felt).. so that's why I chose and trusted him to do my eyes.
I met him 2x for consultations on different days, 1x before surgery, 1x right after surgery (on my request), 1x on the day after the surgery, 1x when the stitches were taken (7 days after the surgery), and 1x on the day before my departure date.

During my stay in Seoul, I met a few forumers like Shane, Sam, Emisa, Eightbelow all of which companies I enjoyed so much.. thanks all to have shared your time with me

and to Emisa & Eightbelow... praying for your recuperation

I stayed @Highland Hotel. To be honest, it's a love hotel. They don't provide a wardrobe.. only 2 coat hangers ... But it's pretty clean & decent with a computerized locking door system so there will be a record in their computer for every time you're in & out (or whoever opens your room door). They change your towel everyday, fill your fridge with 2 bottles of mineral water, 1 can of gatorate, 1 can of ion drink and give you a pack of toiletries consists of toothbrush, facial foam, soap, cotton swab, shower sponge, and 2 packs of condoms hahaha

But I quite like this hotel.. 10 min walks to Apgujeong Subway Sta & Sinsa Sta.. bus stop right at the door, 5 min walk to yummy back ally eateries and the staff was friendly & quite helpful.. Especially the lady receptionist on morning shift

If you wanna do your laundry, don't do it @Highland. They will charge you almost 3x of outside laundry. Bring to a laundry place just a 5 min walks down the road towards BKDY building.

And if you wanna get your hair washed after a full week of not being able to wash it, you can go to a hair salon called Cute Hairlook at the back of the hotel... KRW10,000. But I suggest you walk 5min down the road towards BK and across the street to find a salon called Juno Hair. for the same amount of money you will get a different treatment (even if it's only a shampooing hehe). Juno Hair is like an upper class hairsalon. They'll put you on a kimono. Then when they shampoo your hair, they'll put a rolled up hot towel underneath the back of your head.. very soothing

Mini markets are everywhere. Generally they sell orange juice and aloe vera juice but I didn't find any who sold pineapple juice. Pineapple really works for my swelling

Hi Dan4me,

Could you share with me your b4 & after pics? I'm very keen on zygoma and mandible. What's the diff between vline and mandible reduction?
Is the process painful? How long did it take for you to be able to speak properly?
Thanks in advance!

Definitely! I look forward to meeting him and Anna!

Can I also ask, how easy is it to catch cabs in that area? I may be rushing to get to my next appointment so I might hail for a cab if I'm short of time.

Thank you!!

if you refering to sinsa, then its relatively easy. but some taxi driver will be very reluctant to take to some places if there don't know or understand where you want to go. this is where lack of knowledge of the local language can be a real burden. too many cab driver in seoul rely too much on the use of GPS. so before you hail a cab, make sure you have the full address in korean handy. you could probably show them address in english, but to ensure the cab driver will take you to your destination, its best to have the address in korean. don't be too upset if the first cab you hail refuse to take you to where you want to go, reason being either its rush hour at the time or its just not along the way where they are heading. don't get too discourage. keep trying. eventually you will hail a cab that is willing to take you where you want to go

I thought the same thing in that they might not understand my English or the address written on paper so I've got the clinics addresses in Korean too so they will understand. In just glad that the taxis run frequently so it's not a problem hailing one!

Thank you for helping. Not just myself but everyone else. I'm sure everyone appreciates your frequent updates and always thorough advise. Wishing you a well and continued speedy recovery and I'll keep you updated
