wintergirl88 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi beautyloving I'm at Day 20 now, in about 7-10 days I'll take photo and show u. Because although there's no obvious swelling now, I still notice my face looks abit different everyday. So I think it's better to wait till 1 month post-op and take photos. What surgery are u thinking of doing btw? Yes I'm satisfied with JK hospital, but I think it's partly because I had realistic goals. For example, when they narrowed the face, I notice it makes the chin look a bit longer. And also I already knew that there may not be 100% symmetry after surgery. I think I have about 95% symmetry in my jaw and chin now, if I look closely I can see some small asymmetry, but it will not be visible to other people. So u have to realise that surgery will not give u a totally perfect face shape. I'm still happy because I look better after surgery, but if I had too high expectations, I would have been disappointed. I'm not trying to discourage u, but I just want to be honest about what u can expect from surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautyloving Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks for your detail reply! Congrat to your successful surgery. I understand a little little problem, which you trying to help my expectation w/ JK. Anyway, you just at day 20th, it should not see your final result. I heard from the other member said it take about 6 months to see final result. Hopefully, it will become prettier I am thinking to do cheekbone and v-line. I have 3 clinic on my list right now Small Face, DAPRS, JK ( would rather to go with JK, so need more information about them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundaelove Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hello everyone! I'm 99% going to pitangui for consultation once I touched down in SK. But... I need advises on which other more recommended clinics are near pitangui just in case the consultation fails and at least I have a backup plan...

petiteminime Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 i am very interested in having my nose done, i have a bulbous nose without a bridge. May i know which clinic in Korea is reliable and cost affordable? Not too expensive cuz i have a budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybugz Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 VIP is great if you want to use rib cartilage -- a poster named Schroedinger has written about it and she looks great, in my opinion. However, they are very expensive. I went to Wonjin. They are moderately priced and I liked their work, but their post-op care is terrible. I've also heard the service is unreliable, because you could get a great 20 year veteran doctor or a newbie depending on your luck. Getting Dr. Park Wonjin (the famous owner of the clinic) requires a 20% surplus cost. They use mostly silicone. I asked for a very aggressive change and one that would suit the geographical-cultural norms that I live in, and they definitely delivered. I've heard Jewelry is very good for dramatic results. I actually haven't seen any pictures of this, but that's what I've read on this forum repeatedly. I have no idea about the cost. Item has a reasonable price range and I like their work on the website, but some posters here have complained about them being too subtle. If you go there, I would emphasize you want a major change (if that's what you want). They also use silicone. Do not go to Grand. They are cheap, but a poster here named "onlyif" has written in depth about his experience there along with photographic evidence of the poor work they performed. Search the forums for it. I have heard bad reviews about BK too, as well as deceptive marketing practices, but I haven't seen photographic evidence. Ditto for ID hospital. I have emailed a blogger who wrote about her experience at JW -- I really liked the work they did on her nose. It is very subtle/natural-looking, but I think she looks so pretty. You can PM me for the link to her blog if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trishsul Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 walkingpenguins, I actually did emailed Teiumps and this is the reply that I got on 28 December 2013 : "Thank you for your interest and inquiries of Teuim Aesthetic Plastic Surgical Clinic. We have checked your pictures. We think, you need Eyes 1. Double eyelid surgery including Ptosis correction : 2.53.0m KRW 2. Epicanthoplasty : 1.4m KRW It's difficult to provide confirmed prices without seeing you in real and above prices are just approximate estimate. We suggest you to visit Teuim clinic to receive precise information regarding surgical methods and the cost. We recommend you to stay in Korea at least for 7days after the surgery, so that you can get post-operative treatments including stitch removal and wound cleansing. * You'd better book the schedule for consultation & surgery at least 2 weeks before. * If you want to get surgery on same day after consultation, we make an effort to do surgery at same or next day.(if possible for foreign convenience) we expect to see you soon Thank you." They didn't tell me if DR.Kwon will do the procedure himself, because I haven't asked. I was also aiming for Teuim at first, but from what I read, they seemed to recommend EPI to all patients. I'm still deciding between doing my eyes there or Pitangui actually, because I'm planning to do other procedure as well. I have the exact same question as you, so I think I'm gonna reply them now asking about whether Dr.Kwon will do it himself / not. If you want to email them, their email is paris85 @ naver.com. wintergirl88, Thanks for sharing...I hope you are recovering well now. May I know from 1 to 10, how high is your pain level? I'm looking for other options beside doing a V-line surgery actually, because for me it's very invasive, that's why I was looking to chin implant and botox procedure.. But from looking from some b&a, v-line looks very promising... I'm torn now I hope your result will turn out the way you want it, wintergirl88! I have the same inquiries as sundaelove Can anyone recommend a good clinic for eyelid + facial sculpting ( chin implant, narrowing cheek to make face look longer ) near Pitangui? Or maybe someone could share their REAL B&A at Pitangui? Thank you so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schin Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 hello, i have booked a trip to korea in april and is considering PS. its my first time and im not sure what to change as there is just too many places i would love to have PS on - eyelids, nose, face line ... im not sure which is the best PS clinic/surgery to go to and which is specialise in what. is any kind souls around to advise on this? i might need to know the cost as well.... sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingpenguins Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thank you so much for your information! I actually tried to email them couple months ago but they never replied to me, but I guess they were probably busy combining clinics at that time. I'm also under the impression that they recommend epi for almost every patient, but I do think I need one personally too? haha I don't even know, I feel like I should do more research on more clinics but it's so hard to go back and read every single post :'( Right now I only know some of the more mainstream ones catered towards foreigners such as banobagi, regen, etc. I'm also considering view too but apparently they are more for facial contouring? But yeah, could you post what Teium said after they reply? aha thank youuuuuuu again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundaelove Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Schin... I think as u have mentioned... too many to choose from so u have to do more research and from there short list a few choices and further research on these clinics u have chosen... For me so far I have only shortlisted pitangui medical. There are not many b&a on forums so quite hard to know which are the good ones but at least they have listed those blacklisted ones here! So it really depends on luck and individual's preference to judge which is a good place to have your surgeries... As for what u have mentioned... double eyelid surgery price should range from krw2mil to krw2.5mil just for eyelid... but if u want ptosis or epi etc then there will be extra charges. As for nose again it depends if u r looking for open rhino or closed and also if u r using cartilage or silicone. Very difficult to tell the exact cost... Hope this helps!

trishsul Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I totally understand what you mean by going back to the forum everytime and read every single new posts... I feel the same as you too. I will let you know once they've replied... But I think maybe for all of us it is better to look at every clinic's website and see which one we like the best, then narrow down our choices from there.... good luck to us!
