In my opinion, there is no difference - you can also get asymmetrical eyes and dissatisfaction even done in Korea. In my opinion, do it in your country so you can get better after care service. I did mine in Singapore years ago - incision type, happy with it, so friends too did the same but for some, the doc advised clipped type because of thin skin.

Thanks God!
I finally met someone here who did it in Singapore. Would you mind sharing your experience? And which doctor did you went to and how much does it cost? And if you don't mail can you email me a photo of your before and after? Million thanks ^_^
Sorry for asking so many question but please share with me thanks ^_^

Hope to see your reply soon. (:

Hi sorry for late reply. (:

I always wanted to go Korea to do double eyelid but the expenses and language doesn't really allow. So I decided to get it done next year in Singapore but its so confusing that which doctor should I look for. ):

Most probably I will get it done during late April but still yet to consult any doctor. ):

Please share your experience with me and what are the things I should look out for, thanks ^_^

Well, korea is really famous for plastic surgery, u should reconsider about having surgery in singapore.. And the cost of surgery will be more expensive than the one in korea..

Mount elizabeth hospital is really famous in singapore, try to do some research first.. I did my research for singaporean surgeon because i was think about to have it in singapore.. Dr.harry fok is popular and he is really nice and patient.. I have been on consultation with him last year but not for plastic surgery, for removing scar on my face.. But he is really nice and understand on what u want to achieve without pushing you.. Dr. Andrew khoo.. Go to mount elizabeth hospital website and you can find the plastic surgeon there.. Well my suggestion if decide to do it in sg, go for mount elizabeth for best result.. Some of hospitals in sg, the doctor still learning and some of the doctors are internship doctors from university..

Big decision in your life! In korea, it will be cheaper and better result.. I also did my research for some clinic in korea.. Well, cheaper and better, hopefully.. LOL

Be careful when going into these plastic surgery clinics, the consultants will sell you on procedures that the doctor or clinic is specialize in. I knew what I wanted to going in and it was to get the most natural results. If the clinic/consultant recommend other procedures, i was immediately turned off. Remember, these places make money with the more surgeries they are able to sell so they are always going to push for more.

I went to Teium, which is known for their "beautiful eye" procedure which includes ptosis and eli, for a consultation on non-inciscion method (for eyes) and the manager/consultant recommended incision, ptosis correction and epi. All i wanted was the double lids to be bigger and not to change the shape of my eyes. I'm not a fan of the ptosis correction because you end up looking surprised all the time.

The one eyed consultant at Dream suggested incision method and a procedure for my under eyes saying that my dark circles are too prominent... i don't mind my dark circles especially since I had just gotten off at 12 hour plane ride and had to adjust to a completely different time zone.

I ended up going to Grand for their natural adhesion method and they didn't try to up sell me. It's been a week and so far i think it'll look pretty natural once the swelling goes down. I had Dr. Yoon and he was nice and patient and took his time during the consultation. If you end up going to Grand, and need an english translator request for JiWon. She did an excellent job translating word for word for my friend. June is another interpreter, though she's nice, i don't quite trust that she will thoroughly relay your questions or concerns to the doctor and vice versa. This is important because you want to know that you and your doctor are on the same page and have the same vision.

Hi there,
Would you like to share your photos before and after? Are u happy with the result of grand clinic? Grand clinic is my first choice since the english customer service over there is the best so far, when i send my pic to them, they said i dont need surgery at all, my eyes looks fine and my nose tall enough, LOL, i know that they are not try to upselling.. Would you like to share more about your experience with me? The first time you have consultation with grand, did u have a consultation with the doctor straight away or with the nurse or some expert on PS?

Hey, can you tell me where you had your rhino done? Is it rib cartilage or silicone/goretex? Thanks.

dan4me, Thank you for reply! I also have had 3 times revisions chin implant by korean surgeon also, but still need another revision(s?). It's been a year already and I try to lived with it tough than keep whinning n regret cos it was my mistake~ i didnt do deep research enough before surgery, guess im just the unlucky one w korea lol.

chin's history
1. silicone (2.5 years) : shifted + bone resorption 2 mm (fixed with screw but well still can shifted after years)
2. silicone (2 months) : infection
3. My last implant medpor (1 year) : it didnt shift - even bonded with my bone VERY STRONG and feels hard like bone compared to silicone, unfortunately its size TOO Big for me , not blended smoothly with my anterior jaw line, capsular contracture n created kind of weird cleft in middle of my chin (see pic below)

I tried to pm you but I guess you're new so you don't have that privilege yet. Are you willing to post eye pics? Or would you be willing to email me pics? Very curious about grand.

Pls advise

Hi everyone

I am new here, am looking forward to beautify my appearance. I was thinking whether to make a trip to Korea/ or Singapore to do eyelid and nose surgery. But then I do not have any friends that did plastic surgery before/ who I can seek for advice. I did email one of the korea surgery -which i found online (VIP), and they actually ask for picture and give advice of surgery based on picture. what they quote me:

1) Ptosis correction (US$4,500)
to make eyes bright and well defined
2) Epicanthoplasty (US$1,500)
Epicanthoplasty is the effective method to make eyes lengthy and bigger.
3) Rib cartilage rhinoplasty (US$12,000)
use your autologous tissues to make your nose higher.
Unlike the silicon implant (putting silicon inside your nose), we use your rib cartilage so it is very safe from the infection, it lasts very long.

However, I will like to get more information feedback on any recommended dr and cost as I am worried I may make a wrong choice. not sure if anyone mind to share some experience with me

Thanks!

Hi. VIP is rather expensive. There are a couple of clinics that does it too. One of them is O&Young. However, VIP still stands out as slightly better? It's all subjective I guess. I'm thinking about going there myself this coming June. There's another thread that you might like to follow:

holy mother of christ!!! that's expensive!!! maybe i'm reading ur post incorrectly...USD$12k for rib rhino alone?!?! that's astronomical!! I know it's not all about cost, but generally (just to give u a comparison), i've been quoted about USD$4-5 for rib rhino in Korea. Honestly, i'm not looking for the cheapest. in my home country (australia) it's about USD$4-6, so i'm not actually saving anything by going to Korea (just fyi)

there's plenty of ps clinics in korea - VIP is just really good at advertising to the foreign market, but that certainly doesn't mean there aren't any good (if not better) clinics in korea to choose from...personally i found to hard to narrow down my list of preferred clinics - the list started at about 9 clinics!!

Do you think Dr Hong familiar with medpor implant removal? I sent them email 2 weeks ago but still no reply. some korea drs I contacted with, seems only interested to put it in when talk about medpor implant, but not with removal case later years I read that removing medpor can be tricky because of the tissue alowed to growth into it so it takes longer time to remove it and not all surgeon want handle it. so I just need to find surgeon that really familiar not just put in but also remove it with medpor.

my plan is replace it with genioplasty + revise my pre-maxillary implant. wish this would be my last revision for chin as we should really concern with the elasticity n fibrous scars tissue when many revision done (+ other possible soft tissue damaged complications). definitely no with same dr. I do not feel comfrtable to share this dr nor do my 4th revision with him again. So far drs that responded my case are taiwan drs. still deep researching tough. maybe will consider contact thai drs as well since i satisifed w my other procedures done at there.
decision decision decision ...

ic v-line procedure. No wonder your face look soo slim! I wonder why did you prefer implant rather than genioplasty ? cos v-line alone required bone cutting and sliding to the chin n mandible body right? far as i know this chin pieces also can be slided move forward together with v-line procedure before fixate with screw.. so implant no needed anymore
again thank you for your time to sharing dan! really appreciate it!

i know it's been some time since u posted this message, but by looking at ur pic, ur already pretty hot i'm sure u don't want to hear this, but i don't think u need any more ps, imo

 

[alvi88lee]

Hi Lexethan, which one will you be going? mind to share if you have ask for some detail/ quote?

Hi helloj, yeah yeah , i would love to have the consultant email, pls
and yup agree that VIP quote me quite high.

Hi Bella147, ya, u re right. VIP was doing pretty well on foreign market. It might cos they are one of those who can communicate in english.

Pretty sure that korea is the best choice to do surgery, but (hahaha) I'm just starting to do my homework- research, therefore have not yet come up with any list. Anyway, realize that clinics such as OZ, Grand Medical, BK , and ID are mentioned quite frequent. I'm gonna to email them and see how they going to quote me

 

[callmemaybejac]

Hello all,
It's gonna be my first time in Seoul and I m really nervous about the surgery...
Anyone will be going late Jan or early feb 2013?? Pls let me know!! Million thanks
