cinderella123 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi Lexethan, How much did VIP charge u for ur surgery? They quoted me US$6000 for silicon and US$11k for rib cartilage. They also recommend mid-face augmentation which costs us$2000 for silicon and $3k for cartilage. Were u able to negotiate the price at all? And also do u mind pm me the b&a? Sorry for a lot of questions.. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintergirl88 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Omg recovery from V-line surgery is really tough, I had my surgery yesterday. If I'd known how physically tough it would be, I really might not have done it. Maybe I'm a weakling, heh. But I think many would find it really tough. Not only is there quite a lot of pain from injections and swelling, u can't eat the whole day and I couldn't have a single drop of water for about 12 hours. Cos of general anaesthesia, u can easily throw up. I barely slept a wink cos I was in too much discomfort. JK really does everything to help u thru the process, though. They provided me a really nice Chinese nurse assistant called Xiaoyi to take care of me overnight yesterday, she stayed with me in a 2-bed hospital room to assist me with everything like ice packs, walking me to the bathroom (because u can't even walk properly after General anaesthesia), and to translate what I need to the Korean nurse. Apart from the overnight nurse, usually there's an English translator who takes care of me in the clinic, this Korean lady called Yaewon who is super-sweet. They also got a limo to take me from JK to my hotel this morning. Usually the overnight nurse and limo services will have a charge, but they've given me these services for free. I've heard clinics usually charge foreign patients more though, so maybe they give these perks to make up for it, heh. Btw Dr Kim spent 3 hrs on my V-line surgery. He's a really nice doctor. (I know I keep saying the staff are really nice, but it's true! lol) Hope the results will be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mem Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 They actually quoted me pretty high.. 9,000 for v-line! I wonder if this means only the chin or the chin and the back of the jaw (mandible). They did respond back in english, but haven't responded back when i asked what exactly is v-line.

makeover Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hey winter,in yoru opinion what is the best way to pay for the surgery,especially when it's a huge amount? Lets say I have an american account with chase bank,can I just hand that card over to the clinic and they charge me right there,or is it a complicated process? Also,great job for going through with v line,im excited for you and I cant wait to come to korea,ill be there on the fourth? Did you hire a translator and if not how did you find the hospital?

makeover Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Btw how do you book a consultation,do you walk in or do you have to book it in advance. I want to hire Zoe as my translator but she quoted me $150 and up, and in my case im and up because im having 2 jaw surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintergirl88 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hi, the V-line in JK is US9k. U will have to pay more if u want absorbable fixation plates, but most pple just use normal fixation plates because the plates can't be felt or seen anyway. I had also emailed ID and they quoted me about US$8500, but I read some bad stuff about ID. I'm sure there are some other reputable clinics which can quote u a lower price than US$9k though. In fact when I arrived at Incheon airport, I saw many brochures for plastic surgery clinics there! (I've never seen such brochures in any other country's airport, lol) So u can look at the brochures and find out more about other clinics. JK didn't have brochures in the airport though, as far as I know they don't really advertise much. Good luck for your V-line next year~ Be prepared though, it's not an easy process, but can give dramatic results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintergirl88 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well if u dare to, u could bring it in cash. I would do that if I had a daytime flight to Seoul, but if your flight is overnight as mine was, then u wouldn't wanna do that because u probably wouldn't dare to sleep if your bag contained so much money. I paid using my Singapore DBS credit card using the MasterCard function. U can pay with your Chase card if it has a MasterCard or Visa function, those are accepted anywhere. But I had to call my bank and activate the card's overseas usage, u may have to do that too. Unfortunately if u pay by card, there may be extra charges. I had to pay a 3% fee on the total, so out of the US$9k, that's a US$270 fee. I think mastercard charged a 1% fee and DBS charged a 2% fee. So u should check with your bank on what extra fees will be charged. So u save quite a bit by paying in cash. For me, I scheduled my consultation before my flight, to save time and hassle. I didn't hire a translator because JK provides English and Chinese translators anyway. And I paid for a limo bus to take me from the airport to JK, it's quite ex though, US$80 for 1-way and US$150 for 2-ways (which is from the hotel back to Incheon airport for my return flight). But I knew I needed it cos i'd be too exhausted after my overnight flight to take the train or public transport. U could save money by instead taking the airport bus to the Gangnam area, and then taking a cab to the clinic ure going to. It'd probably cost more like US$20 total instead.
