kangest Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi Egg, I know you said that you wore glasses for a while. It didn't hurt your nose after rhino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg_tartlet Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I wore frame only glasses.. They were plastic and very light. No impact on the nose. Just be careful with it.. I was told the reason they don't want you to wear glasses for a little while after rhino is the injury will be worse if you get hit or bumped in the face with specs on...

Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow, 'culture shock'?! That is a big compliment for sure! But you need to know that most women in Korea put a LOT of effort into their appearance, especially skin and weight. The majority of women, I'd say, are 24/7 dieters and pretty much obsessed with skin care - particularly in Seoul. I personally don't think the standard of beauty in Korea which always seems to be rising is that healthy (from what I know including myself many girls habitually and continuously compare themselves with others and don't think they are pretty enough and thus the common practice of plastic surgery in Korea). As tough as it is to admit, it is very hard to live in Korea as a woman unless you're pretty. Someone also said that lots of girls look similar to each other and I couldn't agree more. The desire to be pretty has been slowly damaging the beauty of individuality, which is very sad. Then again, I do see a slight change in media and feel that people value one's attraction more every time I go home. But I agree, I myself live in England and haven't seen that many good-looking girls in street like Seoul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 What kind of surgery are you getting? Unless you receive a major surgery that requires a total anesthesia I wouldn't necessarily worry about the possibility of dying. The chances are very very slim and extremely rarely happens.

Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 For the scar recovery normally it takes up to a month and half. I got an incisional surgery as well and it took me about two weeks for the scar to heal but altogether it was about a month to completely recover. But for the lines to comfortably settle down it can take up to a year because YOU need to get used to your new look as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Interesting... I agree I think a lot of the girls in Seoul look similar. I guess it depends on where you live. I live in manhattan and I see pretty girls all the time and all diff types of beautiful. But I will say this I was super impressed with everyone skin in Seoul. All thr girls had flawless skin... I wish I had that type of skin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilove9988 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 so far so good. Left eye is very bruised and right eye is more swollen i guess? thus seems a little uneven. I have no complain about the doctor/surgery YET. Gonna remove stitches tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 That is a major surgery! Very courageous of you to have decided to undergo such a treatment, I must say! Which clinic are you going to have them done? It can be a risky surgery but it is much dependent on the doctor who will do the surgery and the after-treatment you'll receive.

Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I agree that it depends a lot on where you live. I'm not living in a city anymore and don't feel compelled to take care of my appearance as much as I do at home. Skin as well, it's as if the society pushes women to have a flawless skin. The two most wanted things that women always look after are skin and your figure. :S But I'd say the answer to Korean women's flawless skin is the air-cushioned foundation pad + BB cream. Also a lot of effort, time and investment in skincare (both at home and aesthetic salons). And I don't think it's a matter of what type of skin you have - there always seems to be a solution to any kind of skin, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hello marir, I'm so sorry for the late reply! As you probably know I'm new to the forum and didn't know where to check notifications! Anyway, to answer your questions... I think it's really a matter of personal preference when it comes to what clinics one decides to go. In many cases lots of people go to different clinics through recommendations from friends or family. Thesedays many people get info from the internet too, obviously - but there is always a danger that clinics use the internet to advertise themselves and sometimes the information may not be as trustworthy as they all seem to be. Also there are many clinics that specialise in particular surgery/treatment and that depends hugely too. I guess that is probably why it's a bit difficult to pinpoint what clinics are popular among locals. And as you may already know PS is a very fast changing industry. They are very trend sensitive and a clinic that was popular a month ago can be an old story. All I can say is that people tend to find specialised clinics depending on what you want to get. I am aware that big clinics tend to be more famous and popular abroad (thanks to their ads!) and I think they are especially convenient if you get a set of different treatments because you can get them done at once. Also big clinics are big for a reason - doctors are usually proven and professional but because of the volume of customers they receive it is true that it's difficult for them to approach to customers as personally and friendly as small clinics might be able to. On a personal level, I prefer clinics that I can trust regardless of their sizes but because of the nature of PS and the fact that it is a very personal kind of treatment I find it easier to trust small clinics. Then again I have seen lots of my friends having no problems whatsoever with big clinics like BK. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm not sure if this is medically proven or not (I guess it has :S) but that's what most clinics say and it worked for me as well. I think if your left eye is still badly bruised then keep doing hot compression on that side of eye meanwhile doing cold compression to your right eye...? Don't do cold compression until the bruises go away because it could delay the healing process, I hear. I wouldn't recommend doing sauna though because I don't think it in general help the healing process and your eyes could get infected. Humidity doesn't do good, I think.
