Guest Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yea I guess with all the advertising, beauty shows and advancement in surgical techniques, shortened recovery time etc... but prognatism is more common in the asian population anyway which prob explains the high rate of 2 jaw in korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I am from Singapore. Planning to get double eyelid surgery in nov thIs year. I have emailed many surgeons and received some vague responses and some too much details on hard selling. One of them was such as joke that I have decided to share with my colleagues. The most professional and responsive is Bagnobagi. It is always within 24 hours if not within the hour. I have decided to go with them. I was against the nose job initially as I am embarking on a weight loss journey. Liposuction is too expensive for me. Anyone any idea if the double eyelid n nose job before (14kg) weight loss will affect the appearence afterwards? I think features tend to change. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel906 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 sorry I mention this actually from the dailymailA doctor with the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons said the double-jaw procedure took off around four years ago when a Seoul dental clinic ran a major ad campaign promoting the cosmetic benefits.As it became popular, plastic surgeons began offering the surgery, causing the price to fall and making it more affordable.A recent study estimated the procedure had been performed 5,000 annually, but it did not differentiate between cosmetic and medically prescribed operations.Some 52 percent of those who had taken the surgery suffered sensory problems such as facial numbness, the study said.Shin Hyon-Ho, a medical malpractice lawyer in Seoul, said he had seen cases where the surgery had resulted in chronic jaw pain, a skewed mouth, misaligned teeth and an inability to chew or smile.He said: 'The number of plastic surgery-related cases is growing ... with complications becoming more serious.'This was illustrated last August when a 23-year-old killed herself after having double jaw surgery. She left a suicide note explaining her desperation after the surgery had left her unable to chew food or stop crying due to nerve damage in a tear duct.The doctor from the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, who would not be identified, told international news service AFP: 'If we are seeing more complications, that's largely because the sheer number of people getting the surgery has increased rapidly in such a short period of time.'Yes, it was originally invented to correct a dental deformity, but you can't blame someone for getting the surgery to look good, especially in a place like the South where beauty, especially for women, pretty much trumps it all.'

Guest Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yea reading this confirms my choice of choosing a less busy clinic or at least those that dont do 10 or more surgeries a day.. it's sad how some people get good result and others dont... guess it's just their luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 JW was the first to respond. While it was a short response, they seemed to agree with what I wanted and what I didn't want, which, though I know it might not be much, was somewhat reassuring. I am still planning on visiting the clinics on my shortlist, though not until next year. I teach grade school so I will not have time until the school year ends next March. Even though it is a ways away, I will certainly keep following this thread, even if just in support of others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinchris Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I would think weight-loss or not would not affect much of the nose since the nose doesn't accumulate much fats there in the first place. It may affect the eyes as eyelids can accumulate some fat. Personally, in the past when I lost some significant weight, my eyes seems to have become slightly bigger. I do have a problem of fatty/puffy eyelids. Are you now single eyelid and intending to do double? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurabliss Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice B&A picture! Thanks for sharing! This is exactly the procedure im looking into. I was reading some of your old posts and you got this done at ID? How much was the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerbaaby95 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hello , I'm also from the bay area and planning to travel to Korea for surgery. I'd love to talk to someone on the same boat. It's not that easy looking for a surgery center (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerbaaby95 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi, I am definitely planning on a Rhinoplasty, and I'm getting interested in the facial contouring but there are many types of procedures for that so I'm investigating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexethan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Soong sister is a real Seoul surgery patient. I was there with her in June of this year. Her surgery didn't go so well. No support whatsoever from the mediating agency that is supposed to coordinate translators and all the visits for foreigners. She has the right to post her point of views whether it be positive or negative. People need to hear both sides of the stories and make an informed decision. Not everything is rosy.

lexethan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 The one on the left looks much better. The one on the right, the bottom lip sticks out now; not as balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
