How common is it to fly to Korea, go to a couple consults, and book your surgery the same day or the next day?
How many of you booked your surgery even before you went to a couple consults?

Just wondering because I'll only be in Korea for 7-10 days. I don't want to book my whole trip and only have a surgery opening the day before I leave.

Well it depends on what surgery you are doing too.
As for me I booked a 10days trip. As I am very sure I am going to get my double eyelid done. I book a consultation and surgery on the same day. So its just what types of thing i am gg to do on my eyes that I had yet to decide. But for sure I am getting it done. That's why i just book the 2 on the same day and i have enough confident to choose the clinic that i wanted.

But if you are doing something more major probably staying longer than 10 days would be better..

Hey everyone I'm heading to Korea late June/early July for facial contouring. Not sure what I getting done yet. I'm 1/4 Chinese 3/4 European. I've read this entire forum but just have a few questions. Should I book in with a clinic before I leave or do I go to consultations when I am in Korea and then choose? I am tossing up between Grand or ID. Do you have to pay a deposit to secure the surgery/consultation before you get to Korea?

Is there Anyone that is going to a similar time to me? Also, I am from Australia.

You can book for consultation but for deposit, it depends on the clinic. Some of them will ask you to put deposit beforehand to secure the surgery. IMO, you should go consult first and then choose which one you are comfortable with. Because some of them might not refund the deposit. Oh, I'm from aussie too

Anyone planning on going to Korea in march 2013? I'm planning on two-jaw, maybe cheekbone and alar base reduction for my bulbous nose hehe... Let me know so we can plan ahead!

What is two jaw??? What is Vline? Vline is not including the jaw reduction right? I dun like the pointy look that some korean girls have just want the oval chin lime Kim sang hae but my chin a l short so I would like to slide my chin out instead of implant to make it longer. Then what procedure should I get?

 

[sanmi]

may i know for chin implant, will it cause the face to look and appear longer?

is genio better than chin implant or chin implant is better for a person with receding chin?

 

[sanmi]

2-jaw is a invasive surgery. Jawbone correction surgery straightens the bones through an incision of the upper and lower jawbone.
This procedure is ideal when the position and function of the jaw is abnormal, including lantern jaw, protruding mouth, facial asymmetry etc.

soft food for quite some time..

Depends on what type of procedures you need for your nose job, but a full package rhino is approximately 3.5-5 mil KRW.

You can stay here for as cheap as $15/night (https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/154298). I rented a room here and it was fine. The owner was very helpful and it was clean, if a bit shabby.

Flights can be really expensive, but if you are diligent, you can score tickets for under $1,000 USD....

So let's do the math in USD, on a 1,000krw to $1 USD scale:

5,000
1,000
+210
--------
$6,210

Keep in mind 5mil KRW is a very HIGH estimate. You'll likely spend less. Also, the skill of the canadian doctors are probably incomparable to korean surgeons who do 5 rhinos a day.

Hope this helps

Hey guys!
So heres a little update
On December 17 I got Rhino (silicon implant) + square jaw reduction (mandible angle reduction) at BK with Dr. Kim Byung Gun.

It's been 5 weeks post op, and I can finally begin to see my face get smaller!
Up until now, I have looked fatter and wider than before surgery, so now I finally see a smaller face yay!

Anywhoo.
I am going back to Korea TOMORROW for breast augmentaton and abdomen liposuction, again at BK Clinic.
I had such a great experience the first time around, so I am going back. I love Dr. Kim =)!!

I'd love to meet any girls who are currently in Seoul, I made such great friends the last time around. SO whoever is free, message me! =)

I am downright outraged by VIEWs manager. Here is my rant:

on operation day, i panicked and told them i did not want to have my nose done. i think it was my self conscious telling me something wasn't right with this clinic...

then when i came out of the operation i realized my nose was too flat for my new face. i should do rhino. i asked zoe if it was possible to get my nose done somewhere else but she said no, i do not recommend it. your face is still swollen and the doctor would not know your features.

i took her word for it. i was depressed i didnt do nose and thought, sice view saw my face before te surgery, maybe it would be okay? so i asked zoe to see if they can squeeze me in for nose surgery.

they said they could, but if i was to cancel my surgery again, they would keep the money. WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT? It is downright illegal for VIEW to keep the money if I did cancel again for my nose surgery with prior notice. It doesn't make me feel any better for the fact that they said, "we were kind enough to return all the nose surgery money to you." i did not undergo the surgery, therefore i should be refunded. I've asked my nose doctor about this at Chungdam U and spoke to a few locals too. It is unprofessional for them to even have a hostile response: "if you cancel again we will keep your money." Who wants to do surgery with them if you are forced with an answer like that?!? I looked with Rachy88 to a bunch of other clinics feeling depressed with the stress of VIEW keeping my money the whole time. i ended up doing my nose at chungdam u and im glad i did. i spent the whole day Waiting at VIEW to get my 2 million won back.

It does not matter if I am a foreign patient or not. This is not a way you treat your customers.

I was not satisfied with the eye lowering. i understand i already went through the surgery for that so that is why i was only asking for a partial refund. They refused to give it to me:
I passed your message to View, this is what they said to me:

Last time, when you cancelled the nose surgery again, they wouldn't refund the whole amount back to you as the consultant said that to you before and it was your second time to cancel the surgery. But they know you are a foreign patient, you come from far away, so they refund all the money to you for the nose surgery.
But this time, they believe the Dr did his best for you. And the satisfaction for everyone is different. So they won't refund any money to you for the eye surgery.

I am furious.

Eye lowering should not have been 1 million won, and if i knew my results were going to be like this i would have jut did lateral cantoplasty. I had to pay an extra 1 million won for eye lowering i can't even really tell. i just took the docs word for it.

VIEW not even partially refunding my money and then having the nerve to offer additional surgery shoved in the next day is really shady, not looking out for my well being, and untrustworthy:

View just called me and said that because you are unhappy with the eye lowering surgery, they have offered to do the surgery again tomorrow at 7pm. There is a limitation for the surgery.

Also, because you will not have enough time to get the stitches removed in Korea, you will need to get them removed in America.


WTF NO!! I don't want additional surgery! I just want some of my money back!! That is so shady!!!!!!!! Don't go to view!!

Sorry for all the typos i am typing from my iphone. I am really upset.

I know right? View was pretty high on my list for facial contouring. I'm still gonna consult there, and i think people should still consult with clinics that they like and not solely on what people have said. Its definitely a shame what shockingpinkz has had to experience but i think SeoulforReal carefully explained the reason they did what they did a couple of pages back.

Wow thank you so much for this - I've been talking to girls whose friends/family have had BA and they keep telling me I'll be in severe pain - and I was getting concerned!
I really am not worried about the surgery but their remarks about how incapacitated I will be and the "extreme extreme" pain was really getting to me...now I feel much more reassured.
One question - will I be able to hug someone (weird q I know but meeting relatives) after 4 or 5 days, and hold a small luggage bag?

Click to expand...

I wouldnt say it is extreme extreme!! You have meds to ease the pain but i was off them by a week. They make you really bloated as well so beware of this.
At least 3weeks post op youll be quite bloated!!

I could lift small bags. Like a handbag. Didnt really try anything bigger than that so wouldnt know.

As i said tho listen to ur own body. If you are strong minded and like me cant just sit around and do nothing then you will likely heal faster and are able to do more vut if you constantly think its extreme pain and stuff then you will be in extreme pain and take slower to heal etc.
Thats what i find anyway!!
