Hi All

Im new here. Was active in cozycot.

Im planning to go seoul next yr march or aprii. This will be my 3rd trip there, looking for travel buddy. =) Pls email me at [email protected]

Just a short review of my surgeries;

1st trip, 2011
- Zygoma reduction, mandible, fats removal, chin implant (face)
- With Dr Song clinic
* Unsatisfied with the results. Uneven manible. Chin still U-shape, no diff fr my before surgery chin. i chose him bcos of the cheap price he offered (was on budget). Did not show me the before and after x-ray as well. Clinic very small, u can hear the drilling sound while waiting outisde the receptionist area.

2nd trip, 2013
-Revision of zygoma reduction, fats removal, rhinoplasty
-With Regen
*This time round i learnt my lesson, focus on the reputation of the hospital/clinics instead of pricing. Do tons of tests pre-op, saw the x-ray, my manible is indeed uneven. I quite like my nose. Doc is very caring and friendly, ans ur q very detailed. Post-op svc good. I hired Zoe as my translator as well. =) to u guys, I dunno whether its a good thing or not, my korean colleagues actually thought that im one their pple. Im looking at drastic results, so im actually happy tat pple commented me look like korean instead of china. lol. before surgeries, i looked like fr china, flat and wide face. even after my 1st surgery, i still looked like one.

3rd trip, 2014
-Planning to go back Regen to do my eyes, cheek implant and v-line.

Hey, I am also planning a trip in 2014, but summer is a bit late for me. Are you flexible with your date so maybe we can coordinate something? Contact me [email protected] if you're interested, thanks!

Hi Shiny Glitter,

I didn't see the thread abt bad experience in Rex. Can you let me know what is the nme of the thread and when it was posted and who posted it? Thanks and I just want to know more and beware before I go Rex.

someone else asked me that too, i will post it as soon as i find it~
this comment expresses well what i think too:

I think Rex has tied up with a number of china and Korean agencies. Everyone seems to be recommending Rex from those agencies. Try to avoid those clinics because a good clinic with sound reputation does not need translators or agents to bring them business. They can set up their own foreign patients department quite easily.

here it is, REX bad exp

I want to get Rhinoplasty as main concern and possibly eyelid (not a priority but ill consider if good price)
Thanks to Shinyglittery I just submitted a consultation on their website. I think they would need to see my photos if you contact them through email- if you want I can give email you my photos to forward to them. Mainly the procedure is to enhance the bridge, lengthen tip and narrow base.
I've gotten quotes back from TL, Item, Rex, and now waiting for view.

oh okay, I only read this message now. no i don't need your photos, i was just being lazy... haha, sorry. okay, tell me what they quote you for eyes and nose when they reply? and tell me how long it took them to reply. that will give me an idea~ though if you wrote in english they probably won't reply haha~

 

[mwol]

i wear glasses on almost a daily basis, i only wear contacts when it's a special occasion (dates, weddings etc), so i was wondering after rhinoplasty, how long do i have to wait so i can wear them again?

i was also wondering after any type of eye surgery, how long do you have to wait until it's okay to use contacts?

After close to a year of searching for the BA clinic in Korea which is not easy as most of the forum is discussing on the face enhancement surgery. And this are the list of clinics that I have visited so far :-

In June visited the following clinic for teardrop

A) WonJin Clinic Price quoted KRW11mil exclude medication
PRO :
1) Larger clinic and systematic in a handling customers.
2) Busy clinic due to summer holidays
3) English speaking staffs convenient for foreigner.

Con:
1) Waited for 2 hours despite appointment was made earlier.
2) Don't get to see the doctors only speak to the marketing manager and nurses who takes the bust measurement.
3) First visit quoted KRW11mil and second visit quoted KRW 25mil on the same surgery.
4) Met with DR Park on 2nd visit however he is not interested to see me and kicked me out of the room in less than 5 minutes instead asked me to refer to his marketing manager. Did not answer any of my questions except for what surgery I want to do.

B) JW Clinic Price quoted KRW11mil bra exclude medication.
Pro :
1) Popular among foreigners because they have strong marketing team and Seoul Touch UP is one of the medical coordinator promoting on behalf of the clinic
2) Have own in house translators for English and mandarin speaking staffs.
3) Dr Seul speaks English able to understand and patient in explaining, have more than 10 years of experience.
4) Able to see doctor to discuss on the procedure and asked questions instead marketing manager who is not medically trained.
5) Dr Seul is the only one can identify which side of my breast is larger whereby most Plastic surgeon FAILLED , he is smart to asked me and confirmed with me whereas all plastic surgeon has their own opinion instead of asking me.


Cons :
1) Have a very unskilled of anesthesia team of doctors
2) Not professional in preparing the me in the operation room, eg some staffs is not in uniforms , the head of anesthesia is not wearing uniform or gloves. Myself is not given a cap to cover my hair. They tends to take things lightly in the operation room.
3 ) I ALMOST DIED IN JW OPERATION ROOM however in my home country I have been twice under general anesthesia for surgery. JW blamed me for my narrow airway but later I found out that it is not the size of the airway but is more of the doctor's skills. Dr Lee Hye Kyoung proves that she is unskilled and not professional despite having more than 20 years of experience.
4) Dr Seul is too aggressive in selling and proposed dual method of surgery fat grafting and implant which is double pain not only on physical but financially. The dual method also increased the risk of post operation complication.
5) Did not keep promised to let me stay for 1 night free in the clinic instead expected me to go back after surgery. For minor surgery eg eyes and nose which is under local anesthesia one can easily managed. However, general anesthesia is a more in deep sedation and I can't regain my conscious or strength to go back within a few hours. And BA is a major surgery.
6) Different email quoted different amount for deposit payment. It is as high as 30% of surgery cost.
7) Dr Seul takes longer time to do the operation it will increased the higher risk for the patient. Reason being is he is using a sizer to determined the size which I suspect it is recycled from one customer to another as sizer is very expensive. Sizer cost more than USD500 for 1 piece. He drew my whole breast on the measurement and took multiple angle of photos.

C) BK hospital price quoted USD10,000-USD11,000 exclude medication and pain control injection.

Pros:
1) Dr Kim replied emails very efficiently and professionally able to communicate with the Dr directly.
2) Free 5 days stay in guest house.
3) Dr Kim very patient in communicating with me for more than 6 months.
4) Foreign friendly as some staffs can speak English and mandarin.
5) I can stay in the hospital for a day .
6) Dr Kim has more than 20 years of experience .

Cons :
1) Expensive due to USD payment instead of KRW.
2) Only provide oral pain control for additional pain control have to paid separately
3) Dr Kim performs 8 surgeries a day and my concern is no time for follow up visit and he travels very frequently to overseas to promote BK.

D) JK Clinic. Price quoted USD10,000 but round implant is USD6000.

Pros :
1) In house English translator and Dr Choi speaks the most perfect English among all.
2) I am able to see a doctor and discussed the procedure.
3) JK have their own hotels for convenience but expensive around USD130-150 a night
4) Each doctor is specialized in his own field

Cons :
1) Average clinic with only 1 anesthesia doctor.
2) Did not use blood bag post surgery.

Soong Sister, Its good to see this breakdown.

I am interested in The Clinic, someone on here said they went there for V-Line. Did they seem like they are good for facial contouring?

I like this type of setup because you can go right to the doctor and know who is doing the work.
