rachy888 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thank you for your reply! I hope it goes well for you. Zygoma surgery is really scary. The prices quoted are quite reasonable. Btw, chin surgery means chin implant or sliding genioplasty? Will all the procedures be performed by the same doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hey Swallow86, I'll be in Korea around same time as you, add me on Kakaotalk (id: Teatreeoil)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xel Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi everyone, haven't been updating much since I tried to make the best out of my time in Korea. I had rhinoplasty, V-line, mandible reduction at Rex Clinic and so far I can only see results on nose which I am very happy with and just waiting for swelling to go down before I can fully write a report. I decided to not go with Pitangui after seeing the surgeon because he gave me a bad vibe but I'll explain it all later I also used [email protected] services which was probably the best thing I did before coming to Korea that made my stay much more enjoyable. See you guys in a few months, hopefully my swelling is all gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xuka Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Wow. Your result is amazing Lacryssa. I think your nose looks a bit like mine. Do you mind telling me what materials they used for your rhinoplasty and tip plasty? Did they use septal cartilage, ear cartilage or implant? How much did they charge for your nose?

sanmi Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thanks for the pic. U look so different now. Looks prettier n younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacryssa Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Skye, Xuka and Sanmi Thank you for the compliments! Xuka, I had a 2~3mm I-shaped silicone implant for nose bridge augmentation and also ear cartilage for my tip. Not sure if they used my septal cartilage as well. If it was a single procedure (rhinoplasty), it would have been $5.5mil won.Reasons why I chose JW [FONT="]1. It's one of the clinics with a main entrance facing the road on the ground floor (most clinics are on separate floors of a large building). The ambience and classical music in the background was very soothing and comfortable. They even have 2 Greek statues standing on both sides of the entrance once you stepped in. I really liked the soft yellow lighting as well, the whole clinic just makes you feel calm.[/FONT] [FONT="]2. I walked in just like that, did not book an appointment in advance but was greeted and treated very nicely and warmly. Waiting time was less than 15 minutes. They also treated my boyfriend very nicely, as if he's getting surgery as well. He's just there to accompany and interpret/translate for me. I suppose it is common practice but after an unpleasant experience of Pitangui dissing my boyfriend off, I appreciate how other clinics treat him even more.[/FONT] [FONT="]3. The only clinic (out of 5 that we visited) which offered beverages while we wait for the doctors. They even asked a few times because we rejected and when we requested for hot tea, the receptionist (CheongYun) offered to make it warm because it felt too hot in the clinic. That was very considerate of her. It’s a small thing but it spoke great volumes about their customer service. [/FONT] [FONT="]4. It was the only clinic that assigned specialists for eyes and nose separately. We consulted with Dr Kang for my double eyelids and then Dr Woo for my nose. Other clinics usually have one general surgeon working on multiple surgeries. We were assured by the specialization.[/FONT] [FONT="]5. The doctors were very thorough and honest. We were considering epicanthoplasty as well but Dr Kang did not recommend it since I didn’t need it, according to him.[/FONT] [FONT="]They had a report with diagrams and drew my current features and showed us how they will change/improve upon them. Both doctors cooperated and worked on the same copy of report and diagram.[/FONT] [FONT="]Afterwards, we met the senior consultant to discuss the price.[/FONT] [FONT="]6. She was very sincere and helpful, offered to give her opinions from a female aesthetics point of view as well. My boyfriend thought that was a very nice touch. She’s a very friendly person, easy to talk to.[/FONT] [FONT="]7. We could ask for a markdown, the total price went from $6.7mil won to $5.8mil won. We couldn’t do so at other clinics. But even so, JW was definitely the priciest option I had.[/FONT] [FONT="]Consultant assured us that if results are unsatisfactory, we can get free revisions with Dr Suh or Dr Choi. I can also get cheaper prices for future procedures.[/FONT] [FONT="]I have also read through TPF and found positive reviews about JW. Other clinics had at least one negative review. If I remember correctly, one of the local translators mentioned that there wasn’t a single patient who's unhappy with JW.[/FONT] [FONT="]To be continued. I’ll write about what happened on the surgery day next.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacryssa Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Congratulations, Xel! Glad to hear you're doing well. All the best in recovery and do keep us all posted once you feel better. I am interested in hearing your thoughts about Pitangui because I felt the strange vibe you described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
