bellzz Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi Onlyif, I'm sorry for what has happened to you after surgery. Did Grand offer for revision?

satinchris Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Does anyone have the email contact of Regen? I emailed to [email protected] and [email protected] on separate occasions many days ago and still didn't get any replies. Same for Dream, is their email address still [email protected]? Thank you!

bellzz Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hi Ninatam, For me, I will use credit card. Me too worry about bringing large amount of cash there. However, some clinics that I emailed suggested that I transfer the money via electronic, or TT. You may check with your local bank, and I think they will charge for the transaction. Western Union or MoneyGram do provide the service as well. You may check it out ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planc Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 5 Weeks Post OP: Just to clarify, I did not do 2 jaw surgery, rather, I've done mandible reduction, sliding-gen, and cheekbone reduction. At five weeks post op, I can see the difference on my facial shape clearly: the mandibles are a bit slimmer; the chin is pushed forward; and finally, the cheekbones are smooth and not "popping" out. My friends say that I changed anywhere between 30 - 40% overall, and they don't know I have had surgery, and I did not have any feature (nose, eyes, etc.) changes. From that, I'm assuming that the overall facial shape change is obvious. However, the swelling is remaining at 30% - didn't change, or changed very subtlety from last check up. I find that the recovery time frame of 2 - 3 weeks to be not enough to look completely normal, although you can use he excuse of wisdom teeth removal to justify the swollen cheeks. Recommendations/ experiences: 1) For forumers that plan to undergo any type of facial bone surgery, it is very very crucial that you apply ice pack on the operated parts following surgery and right until the end of 3rd day. This is due to the swelling increasing dramatically for those 3 days. I find that the best way to "reduce" swelling is to prevent it from swelling as much in the first place. After the 3rd day, the swelling is set and will remain for a few more days, then slowly decrease - a bit more on the first and second week then very slowly afterwards. 2) I was very depressed on the first week because of the general anesthesia, and from looking at my huge swollen face . For that, I do recommend that you have someone to support and reassure you of everything. Also, do go outside to walk for a bit as sitting in your hotel room will make you feel even more depressed. 3) If you're thinking of not informing your parents about your surgeries, good luck! They will 100% see the changes, but probably wont suspect plastic surgery on first guess. Your parents have seen you grow since little and they will know exactly what is changed, and unchanged after your trip. My parents pointed out that my mandibles are different and my chin is more pointy right on 2nd day post - arrival but surprisingly, she didn't point out the cheekbones. haha. Luckily, my parent's definition of plastic surgery is only limited to nose and eye jobs, so I'm safe from being accused of ps as of now. 4) EverM Dr. Yoon's "ideal" face is to have the angular part of the mandibles completely shaved off to create a visible v shape bottom face. I find this to be contradicting to western beauty as we tend to view strong jaw lines as attractive - look at celebrities like brad pitt. I'm not sure about the Korean standards but I'm kind of regretting not telling him that I still want to look masculine but just less bulk - too late now. 5) Bring some protein, multi-vitamins, and weight gainers from your home country for recovery. I lost six pounds of pure lean muscle from this trip because of a lack of protein, after consuming a whole tub of protein in 2 weeks. The protein powder, and red meat here are super super expensive, compared to north America. Protein power at Lotte supermarket's GNC store cost 150,000 won for a 4 pounder tub - holy ****t! literally 3 - 4 times the price at home. As what Onlyif said, the key nutrients for recovery are protein and calcium. 6) Don't get ripped off. I paid 10 million won for mandible and cheeckbone reduction, and sliding - gen. If you get any price higher than that, just mention that a friend of yours got surgery there for that price - pm me if you want my name. In general, 5 weeks is still too early to judge the final result but what I can say is that there is a moderate change from before, so it's not like Dr. Park's Oz clinic where the results are subtle and unnoticeable. I believe the clinic is a lot more honest than any other clinics I've consulted - the consultants seem to be nicer, and not pushy, maybe because their schedule is already packed..? idk Ultimately, I do recommend anyone interested in facial contouring to have a consultation with EverM as you will notice a difference. Don't take that as promoting this clinic as I'm just contributing back to a forum that helped me alot; all I'm recommending is a consultation - at the end of the day, the decision for which clinic should be based on how comfortable you are with the operating doctor. Last but not least, ibenlim has done 1 -jaw surgery with EverM recently, so do wait for his review on EverM before making your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Just read a few posts up, and saw someone inquiring about money exchanges, and customs. I brought 13 million won (total, but some in won and some in Canadian) cash with me with absolute no problem and this was leaving US and lay-overing at Tokyo, then Seoul. TSA cannot see exactly how much money through the x-ray and most likely, if you just put a passport, and paper in your bag, it won't get inspected at all. I know it's kinda risky, but it saves a lot of trouble for declaring. At Tokyo, I didn't encounter customs at all, just security check, so no problem at all. Here in Canada, the bank charges a flat $20 transaction fee for A-mex travller cheques. However, I find that the exchange rate for travllers cheques to be a bit higher - 20 won higher per dollar exchanged, so with me exchanging $2000 Canadian, that's $40 more than bringing cash. Totally worth it. Only KEB (Korea Exchange Bank) accepts cheques, don't confuse it with KB (Korea Bank), they're different banks. Cash, all banks will be happy to accept and exchange it. For big exchanges, it is better to exchange it in banks, rather than in markets like myeongmon, itaewon, and dongdaemun because of the added security.
