Hi, just wondering do you guys speak Korean? I went to the Apgujeong site but it seems all in Korean, I want to try these other places but I'm scared what I want will be lost in translation

Yes, I went to consult with tlps, jw but teium consultant told my translator that I can't hv any consultation with the doc on 17 dec as he is fully booked even though we booked an appt in advance. I was upset so I had to decide on another clinic to consult with. I was deciding btwn view and chungdam u but I asked my translator for her recommendation. She said migo and dream consultants look pretty when she brought her clients there for consultation and if she want to do eyes, she wld consider these 2 clinics. So I decided to visit migo since it is just next door to jw.

Tlps consultation was a total waste of my time. They made me wait for abt 3 hrs even tho I had an appt made at 1130am. When I looked at the consultants there, they really turned me off with their plastic upturned noses. The English consultant had her face done at tlps and I didn't think it looked great. The scar on her nose was obvious and her double eyelid job didn't turn out nice too. I consulted with the eye doc and he used a toothpick to show me the crease instead of using something more professional which the other docs used. I saw the hair grafting doc too but nothing fantastic. The eye doc made me wait till it is time for my jw consultation at 3pm. I told tlps I needed to go and they kept persuading me to stay. After I left, they kept texting my translator to ask me to go back. Anyways, I already made up my mind not to do ps with them, so I didn't bother abt them.

I went to jw and met all the 3 docs for eyes, nose and hair. The docs are really friendly and smiled while answering my questions. If not for the fact that dr suh is fully booked till end dec, I wld hv done my surgery there.

After that, I went to migo. I saw the hair doc first and she suggested fat grafting to make me look younger since I m going for hair grafting. Then I saw the eye doc. He has a bit of attitude cos he is the owner and he is very confident of himself. He said I was the first patient which he explained in great details and he turned to my translator and asked if she translated everything to me. My translator was a bit scared too cos he is so stern and serious. The nose doc was really nice and professional. He took his time to exam my nose and showed me before and after pic and he pointed out sonething which jw doc didn't notice.

So in the end I decided on migo cos I heard they r gd with eyes and dr Kwon from teium is from there and I think the eye doc was his teacher who coached him. I like the nose doc too cos he is so detailed.

Nw I m praying hard I will turn out looking great.

Hey all y'all!

Well today is day 7! Just wanted to post a quick note up before getting my eye stitches removed later on today.

K, i can honestly say today is the very first day i feel ive seen a light at the end of the tunnel. Not a big light, more like a pinhole, but there is light
This morning, I woke up and my headband felt considerably looser. In fact the top part slipped off last nite. What a sigh of relief! For the past week i had endured looked like ms.piggy/old lady from housewives miami/tim allen in santa claus all morphed into one face. Poor ladies who have been hanging out with me in this state of disfigurement, but i figure i mite actually b helping them out in a way, they can look at me n say "well...it cud b worse, i cud b looking like karime right now."

I m a few days ahead of cjchen in terms of recovery, but even at her supposed worst day, she looked way better than i did at day 6. Im sure these girls were thinking when i showed them my before pics, wow...poor thing...she shudnt have done anything. Cuz i know id be thinking that! As disfigured as i m, i m still very optimistic n after todays decrease in swelling even more optimistic. I actually feel i may b able to some chew food without grinding up the inside of my cheeks. Yay!

One thing i noticed is the considerable sagging already, but i m in my upper 30s, so my skin has less elasticity n collagen. I was plenny warned bout the sagging, but i decided to go for it anyways. M i bummed that i did it? No, not yet cuz my final outcome has yet to b seen. Plus again, my Faith n confidence in the doctor helps a lot too.

I have to add, the staff at View are very nice and helpful and patient. You feel like they stop everything to make sure you are okay. I went in yesterday cuz one of my stitches came out while i was eating n i dont have a mobile phone to call them, but the immediately went to call Ms Kim n she got another advisor to answer my questions immediately. I know ive said it time n time again, but i really do luv her! Shes like that nurturing sister n im sure ilove9988 will agree.

Having girls who r going through this with you and hanging out w them has been like instant therapy! I just luv these girls! Doing it in Korea is good too bcuz i havent gotten the stares that i wud in the US. The ppl who do stare at us have been high-fiving us.

If u do decide to embark on this ps journey, find someone who u can talk to to kinda mentor u through this process. MiaAnn has been another God send to me for being there answering questions and letting me know that what i m going through is normal.

O n thanks too those to who have been msging, emailing, etc. i luv hearing from u too! Makes me excited to hear about ur upcoming surgeries.

Hey you heading to Seoul in June too! YAY, wanna go together and share an apartment? I wanna do jaw btw.

Janersmaners and lexathan can come stay close too, but not sure if you guys are going to stay in a hotel or try airbnb instead?

I'm planning to stay in their microtel for a week (free); they only allow a week. However, if I like the set up I'll stay for an additional cost of $100 or something like that a day. But, if the swelling is down I might wander around the city and move into a different place (likely hotel) for change of scenery.

The Swelling was the worst on day 2, 3, and 4. Today when I woke up I found myself to be significantly deflated =) yay
I had an appointment with BK, and they took off my nose cast.
When I first saw my nose I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. But I think i do!
the side profile looks amazing. ^.^. The front I am still getting used to.
