faithhope01 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks so much MiaAnn for taking the time to write back! I am planning to do double eyelid, lateral canthoplasty, buccal fat removal, chin implant and underchin lipo. Lots of work...lol. I am actually going with a gf and she can speak Korean, but I decided last min. to hire Zoe just to make things easier and luckily she's available. I am glad you like Dr. Kim as I'm not sure I who I will being seeing at ID so this info. helps a lot. Your eyes look great btw!!! Oh, and JW just got back to me with their quotes, but I've shortlisted 5 clinics down to 3 and JW is out. How did your friend like her eyes?

karime Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Looks like the person who answered your email might not speak english very well, so really kept it to the bare minimum. It can be frustrating, but I actually expected not to hear back from them being that this is peak season and joanne who has been answering my emails is probably swamped with consultations. I think she may be the only one there who speaks english well enough. O gosh, I hope you don't have super urgent questions because they might not get answered until after you get there. Or maybe try sending it again. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karime Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 O I am starting to understand what the 4mm you were referring to about a little better now. My impression of 2-jaw was they moved your jaw back or forward, so I thought he moved your jaw 4 mm, but it sounds like they took 4mm off your chin. Are you able to speak Korean or do you think something got lost in translation? Did you use a translator? Aside from that, how is recovery/swelling going? What are you eating? Are you doing anything to pass time? Have you met up with any forumers? Maybe they can give you an unbiased opinion. Sometimes we are our own worst critics.

karime Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the laugh! Seeing your swelling and imagining you trying to tell others you had nothing done, made me crack up! I can so see myself doing something like that. Your post op though looks really good and it doesn't look like you even have any makeup on. Omg, n thanks, i would totally appreciate seeing your 3 week post op cuz that's about how much time I have before I go back to work. I m going to guess that my students won't listen to one bit of my lecture, but instead will be staring at my lids. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetwo Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi everyone, I want to get rhinoplasty done in Korea within the next few months, because it's a lot cheaper than here in the states, and the doctors are more experienced with Asian noses such as mine. The only thing is.. after looking through many clinics and their rhino B&A's, I've noticed most (if not all) of the noses afterward look straight. I have a pretty flat nose that I want elevated and a bulbous tip that I want redefined, but other than that, I actually like my slight nose hump and I want to keep it. I feel like it would make a nose job look more natural too. Not that straight noses don't look attractive or natural, it just isn't the look I'm going for. My desired nose would probably look like the attached photos. EDIT: Sorry they're so big! >.<Does anyone know if it's possible to keep your nose hump with nose surgery? The answer is probably no, but it's worth asking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilove9988 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 They called me on my cellphone. This is the number which they used to call me +82 70 4128 7667. Since I have locked in a consultation date which her, I also asked if I am able to do the surgery immediately after the consultation. However they require a deposit of $100 to secure a slot for my surgery if I want to book it now. I am still not sure whether to just go for 1 consultation at a hospital or maybe I should visit a few more.... But anyway I am only doing double eyelid surgery.

karime Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sorry guys, I know it looks so overwhelming. For those who are new, it is best to read the entire 1st forum in case I missed something. This really is just a reference sheet that I made because I kept forgetting where i had read something. But also, in case when I go for my consults, the doctor recommends another surgical procedure that I wasn't expecting, I can reference people who have posted info on it. This first part is like the other 2 parts, referencing previous forumers experiences at various clinics and their follow ups. If you are considering surgeries, please check out what the other forumers have said. There was one pic of eyelid surgery where the forumer was very unhappy with the outcome. Also, just a reminder, some of the forumers have their accts deactivated, I still included them in the list. The rest of the list has basic clinic info, info on different surgeries, helpful hints, etc. FYI, some of it may be incorrect, sometimes I can't read my own writing or sometimes I have difficulty trying to understand the postings, so Ive included pages numbers or posting #s. Here is part 3-pgs 171-250 HongKongPhooey, p170 #2547 gets blookwork, heart checked, xray scans @ ID before surgery. v-line w sliding genio, silicone paranasal augmentation, lateral epi and revision rhino done w Dr. Kim Junesung (Dr. Gim) and Dr. Sanghoon Park.

swallow86 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Oopz, sorry forget to mention most of the prices I got for Epi is provided its done together with double eyelid/ptosis correction. Guess its cheaper since they are already numbing that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
