Hi Ladies who have been asking about the "brutally honest" translator. She is a mandarin to korean translator. I will recommend her only after i really met her and experience her service. I don't wanna recommend her to people here without really meeting her. It will be unfair to you all.

I just finish talking to her again. And now i am wondering should i just do eyes and forget about all the facial contouring.

On one hand, i've dreamt about having a smaller face, an oval one all my life. But after talking to her, she told me that she felt that a lot of us go to Korea without actually knowing about the risks of facial contouring.

She said that facial contouring, like vline,zygoma reduction or two jaws are unlike other simple procedures like nose implant, eyes surgery, liposuction etc. Facial contouring is a major surgery and she is always very amaze when she accept cases of people coming to Seoul to do such surgeries.

She mentioned that i shouldn't worry about whether the doctors will change during the surgery, she said it doesn't matter as long as the result is good. She also said that for facial contouring its better to do it at big clinics as they have their own in house anesthesiologist. The biggest concern about this type of surgery is not waking up or ending up with imbalance profile. As this is a bone surgery ,it's irreversible unlike eyes and nose. She told me that as long as you are going for any facial contouring rest assured the result will be obvious, the main concern is the safety of the operation...

Her own idea is that plastic surgery is evil and addictive.lol....

I was set on forgoing zygoma and just do vline until she told me that if my zygoma is prominent, reducing vline will only emphasize the wideness of my cheekbone....
She said since when we get older we are bound to suffer from face sagging and people that decided on cheekbone reduction think that since their skin is gonna sag when they age they might as well do cheekbone reduction. They accept the fact that they might age faster than others for a slimmer face...

It's all about priority.

She also mentioned that it is commonly known among the plastic surgery circle that ID is famous for switching surgeons during operation as Dr park is not available to operate on all the patients.


But i wonder is her information is correct sometimes, she told me that if i decided to do cheekbone and vline the surgery duration will be around 4 hours....
From the email exchanges between myself and the clinics, i was under the impression that vline+cheekbone will only require 1.5-2 hours.
I am shocked that the surgery itself is so long.Can anyone validate this claim for me?

She also mentioned that few months ago , a person became paralyzed after going for two jaw surgery.


I asked her about View and TLPS yesterday, she promised to find out about the clinics for me as she admitted to me that she've not heard of them. Today she replied me that View is a very small clinic and is famous of boobs augmentation. View surgeon always appear on tv when they talk about BA but they are not famous for facial contouring. The clinic itself is way too small to handle facial contouring. Not to say their result is bad but our safety will be compromise at small clinic. Their equipment and manpower is not enough to handle emergency, i kind of agree that we should not take this risk as facial contouring itself is already a big risk.


I am really having second thought and cold feet AT THIS VERY MOMENT. I'm not sure whether i wanna go ahead with the surgery but i am tempted...
two more weeks and i will be in Seoul...it's scary. I thought i was well prepared but after much communication with different translator i realized i am not well prepared. I don't know about Korea plastic surgery practice, i don't know about the reliability and honesty of clinics, etc.

That is "brutaly honest" LOL. I don't know if i'd be able to trust a translator who thinks plastic surgery is evil though. Its kind of a strange occupation to find yourself in if you're against it but i guess you gotta pay the bills somehow.

But kinda eye-opening regarding smaller clinics, i never actually thought about it that way. View was one of the clinics i was considering as well.

Kimjoo...Glad to hear that your recovery is a breeze. I have shortlisted Grand for my eyes. Are the drs n nurse/assistance all nice and kind. I'm always paranoid when i see dr n nurse with grumpy face.its gives me a signal tt they hate their job.

I only know one doctor at Grand and he's really nice. I can't comment on others. I don't know if eyes are performed in the same building that I was at (Grand occupies multiple buildings in the area) but the nurses who took care of me were super friendly and very eager to help and comfort.

I have no choice cos this is the only time when I can take leave from work to do PS. I am not sure if it is more expensive but air ticket will cost me about S$780, I think. Is 10 days ok? I was thinking of 10 days too cos I read some forumers only spend 7 days, if I can remember correctly.

Yes, I also want my eyes to be more dramatic... Regen told me that is called outfold eyes. I want that type of eyes. Currently one of my eyes is parallel(similar to outfold) and tapered. Not many people can see it is unbalanced but I can see it whenever i draw eyeliner.

Yes, i want to do nose surgery too.

Keep me updated with regards to ur experience ya? Thanks!!

yup, it's quite weird right. Plastic surgery its ok but people need to know when to stop. I always find it strange why people get addicted to surgery.
now i know cos i myself am one.

after i realize i can change the features i dun liike with just operation, i started to look at each and every part of my face , thinking what should i change... before i start doing plastic surgery , i just thought to myself that i have to accept how i look like even if i m ugly. but there lies the beauty in plastic surgery

of cos it's so common now that people tends to forget about the risks involved.

My worst nightmare.... doesn't happen too often at big clinics? right guys?.. right?... :cry:

cherryzz said: ↑

you are kinda lucky that you found a translator like her. Yes i agree that advice like this will make us more confused and lost. but we are talking about our face here, i totally agree that once it is done its either hard to reverse it or irreversible. so knowing all the side effects before hand is better than knowing it after your surgery. At least you know what to expect and so you can re-evaluate the surgery. If you think doing a facelift in the future is acceptable, then i guess you can go for it? whatever you decide, i hope it all goes well for you. =)

face lift is just one, my life in danger is my biggest concern...

But i have other translator telling me that maybe in other countries when we r doing facial contouring we are putting our life in danger but in Korea, they've already surpass the part of safety and now moving to perfection...

Hi there would you be kind enough to share your b/a pics for ur eyes? I'm planning to do inner corner and I'm really scared about scarring. Also how many days did it take for u to look normal? I'm going back to work after like 10 days post op and really nervous my co workers will notice. Appreciate ur feedback!!!!

My inner corners are actually fine. The outer corners is usually the one that people don't recommend doing Let me give it a little more time then maybe I'll post a photo but I'm definitely happy with my inner corner.

same! now you understand why people get addicted right? when everything goes well you'll want more and more and then strive for perfection. some people will only stop when sth bad happens, those are the unlucky ones. i guess i might have been addicted to ps if it wasnt cause of my bad eyelid surgery. its just human traits =p

yes, people get really tempted and forgotten all about pros and cons. sometimes you'll only know if you can accept your new face after you do it. im the example lol. i thought i can accept drastic change..and after my eyelid surgery i realize i cant. lol

I heard that lateral (outer corners) hurt the worst because the stitches rub against your eyes... At least that's what I've read online. Hope your recovery is going well, Cherrykiss! Can't wait to see your beautiful new eyes!
