hi,so how long do you think it will last and how much it will stay? a girl actually told me that she had fat grafting 2.5 years ago and the fats are still there. 50% stayed.

actually, if the fats stayed for 2 yrs and above, wouldnt it be there for good? what i think is, if it can last for 2-3 years, isnt it possible that the remaining fats will be there for good? cause it just makes no sense that during, lets say , the 5th year they just disappears right? i mean if they survived, how can the fats just die after that.

First of all, I am not a doctor, I can't assume things without any Medicial knowledge nor it's practical to do so to get your hopes high
In my opinion, 50% is not good enough at all for me but it also depends on how many times did she do it, most people do fat grafting for the 2nd time in 3-5 months time to make it long lasting , did she do this or just once?
And yes they will SLOWLY die out, don't disappear overnight

If your logged in the site it should say why somewhere is bar above. But you need to wait for 5 days after you made a account and you need to make at least 10 posts I thought. Then you will be automatically upgraded to a full account.

Wow thank you so much for sharing her story i really felt sad gor her too because I am going through the same phrase as her but hers Simms a little more serious! I am completely freaked out by the doctor's attitude because I'll have to go back to him!

I have already started a new post asking about ex ID patients but no one answered

Hey, no problem. Best of luck. I think that you may have a better chance asking some of ID's former patients on Purse Forum, as I remember at least two being unhappy with their results. And sorry this is a stupid question, but may I ask what you mean by 'story'? I think that most of her posts were responses to other people, but she does share a bit of her experience in the fourth paragraph. This is what I gathered from her posts:

ID is the worst clinic there is don't go back there!...I had my revision there twice for my jaw and now i look super ugly and deform! They don't even email me back at all. If he even replies to me it would be "wait til the swelling goes down". If you've read from the beginning til now i think 99% of people on this forum who had surgery at ID are unsatisfied.

I hate this place with a passion! they take your money your face do whatever they want and if they screw up then it's oh well too bad for you...doesn't even bother emailing back after they've got your money...Anyways about the before and after pics most of the clinic i've been to uses the same ones i think it's because those are the image that the people actualy approve of it.

Yes I went to Id for a revision because I made a mistake for not reading the whole thread! I had double jaw surgery and I really don't want to get into detail since I've told my stories once before already and it's a really long one.. I just want to warn the new comers about ID hospital and it was also listed on the blacklist somewhere on this forum. That's the email everyone's been complaining about how he doesn't reply back. I think I've email him at least 10 times and he has only reply twice! If you look okay right now then just live with it I mean why couldn't he fix it or make it right from the beginning?!?! So I was just like u I ask him to fix the mistake that he has made and he has turn me from ugly to handicap looking!

it has been 10 months post op and the swelling is all gone by my third months and I only gotten uglier not better. My face is so asymetrical because he shave too much bone on one side... my lip doesn't close at rest,the creases around my lip(smile line) is super deep like a 60 year old person...my nose is also affected by this it became wider and one nostril slope downward. Now you can only imagine how hideous looking I am...I will have to disagree with you that more people went with id then there should be more complaints but I've look at this Forum and some others most of us foreigner went with oz and 99 percent seem satisfied with oz. In id they advertise that two sister where those sister had the surgery for free in exchange to be on tv and advertise for them. They do look better then before but pretty not even close! Their jaw line is too fake like sorry to say they kind of remind me of aliens a total v shape chin with big eyes and a small pointy nose...I don't look any better then those girls but if that was their best surgery ever then it's not worth it. I've never seen a doctor that doesn't reply back to their patients once work is done that's just unprofessional and shows his character. Him not answering back should raise a red flag... I actually had to flew back there without him answering back my emails just to get an answer! Waste more money flying back and he said he can't fix it. But I'm not giving up yet I'm now trying to find other surgeons to help me.

I only went back to him on the recommendation that he's the only one that knew exactly what he did to me and may be able to reverse it but he insist that it's not going to help doing another surgery. He also blame me for choosing him for secondary revision! He said that he didn't want to do work on me since I did it with someone else and he said it after the operation! but he never gave that impression when I first came in for consultation he just made it seem like he can fix anything..anyways all of my swelling is gone now and for most people you're suppose to look better but it's the opposite for me it just shows more of a blotch up job. I had two jaw surgery with him and bit of jaw shaving too. And of course going into this I knew if things go wrong I can live with it if I turn out uglier but never did I imagine looking,feeling and being more handicap! Ugly I can live with since no body is perfect but looking like I have some kind of syndrome is horrible I can only say so much just take my words and don't even step foot in there. Just because a clinic looks high end, clean and charges more doesn't mean you'll get a good result.

um, you sounds kinda sure about this. can i know why? =)
she injected only once. hm, cause most doctors say that it takes 3-6 months for the grafted fats to get blood supply, and those that doesnt get supplies, they'll die and be absorbed into the body. are you saying that you think even after 1-2 years or so, the fats will continue to die? i know its just based on your opinions, i'd like to know what you think about it =)

Hihi!

I am a silent reader of this trend and the previous tread that have been archived. So glad that there is this forum to share precious information on PS. Now that i have some knowledge on PS, i would like to contribute back!

Anyway, there are very little posts on fat grafting, maybe only until more recent posts. But it is still not comprehensive enough. Also, there are quite limited info and B&F on fat grafting online, especially for fat grafting done in Korea. Therefore, i am very hesitan to get fat grafting in Korea. But i decided to look a leap of faith and get facial fat grafting and other cosmetic procedures (wish me luck!! i really need them!)

I am in Seoul since late July and will be here till mid jan for work related assignment. So if anyone is interested to meet up with me let me know! We can spend New Year Eve together and i can bring you to nice cafes and shopping areas if i am free (i have flexible working hours!)

Anyway, later i will post the details of my consultations with 4 different clinics/hospitals and my take on them. I am very tired now from the drinking sessions from past two days, Koreans are really heavy drinkers. Yes i know i should stop drinking before surgery. ><lll (opps, sry to side track.)

I will also share my knowledge on all the procedures i am getting. Will try to keep u all posted on my post surgery results too! ^^ Hope everyone gets into the spirit of (accurate) information sharing!

For those that worry about bring large amount of cash. I will suggest to check out banks in korea with global ATM, where u can redraw money without any extra charge and from my experience the exchange rate is slightly better than those money exchanger found back in my own country. from what i see around Seoul, Citibank is one of the most commonly found global banks in South Korea. But please do check the amount of money you could redraw a day or a month. Hope it helps! (:

Most machines only let you redraw 300-400 a day. So you have to go to multiple machines.

Hmm, maybe you have to check with your bank. Just a suggestion. (:

From my experience, those global ATM machines at Citibank Seoul branches (not those small ATM found at subway stations) allow u to redraw up to 1million won per transactions and will not charge any transaction fee. Once i redrew 3million won in a day on 3 separate transactions at the same time and at the from the machine. FYI, there is a citibank branch with global ATM along gangnam main street and another being a distant away from Apgujeong station exit 2. (: I feel unsafe bring a large amount of cash around, so this really helped me.

I am not promoting Citibank, it is just my personal experience in Korea

I think it was Emisa who used her Citibank card to withdraw money whilst in South Korea. I was thinking of doing it this way as well, as it would just be too convenient. I just have to find £25,000 and open a Citibank Gold account . The only problem with this is that the UK only has 4 Citibank branches and they're all in London, so i don't know if i wanna pop down to London just to open a bank account.

Before i came to korea, i asked Z the same thing that i needed these things, and she just replied me that shes not a caretaker and that i should hire nurse or somewhere else if i needed those kind of service. I was upset and seriously at loss that time, quite the opposite of the raves i have heard. luckily i found my way out!

Snow: I went around sinsa, theres this alley stores alot of shops,food, and nails stuff, its just around the corner near missha, they did pretty good nails , people there so friendly too I went to few skin clinic and settled on chanel plastic surgery for their skin care (apparently this clinic pretty well known among local, im probably the only non-local there). The people there so friendly and nice, love the clinic too! I also went pass Wonjin,Line, JW, Kangnam samsung, ID , BK and theres few special skin clinic place. And considering I did nose job previously, Im quite cautious of my nose when it comes down to blackhead removal, luckily people in korea are used to this and treat it with care :B hehe

Hi everyone! I'd like to share briefly my experience with eyelid surgery. So far its been a few years since I got my eyelids done at Image Clinic in Kangnam, Seoul, Korea. I was extremely nervous, I had never had surgery and had a lot of fears (what if I became blind??) But I was always insecure with my eyes growing up and seeing all my friends' beautiful eyes made me take the plunge!

I am SO glad I did it, years later! I feel much more confident and pretty. It definitely looks more natural now, no one can tell I had mine done. Before I had no fold/eyelids and always looked sleepy. Anyways, I don't speak any Korean (half Korean, half Chinese) so it helped that my doctor spoke some English so he was able to communicate with me during surgery. I highly recommend Dr Hong Gi Lee, he is the main doctor with his picture on the website.

Before going I did a lot of research so I was set on BK or Oz clinic because that's the only ones I read about on the Internet. But I think they get so many customers mostly from marketing because all us Internet gals talk about those 2 all the time. But my mom encouraged me to at least go to a consultation with Image Clinic because our family friend did her eyes there and was very happy with the results. When I went to the consultation the doctor was genuine and knowledgable, listened to what I wanted and also offered recommendation for my eye shape.

I am happy to share before and after pictures or questions if you PM!
