I kinda figured they get commission because I read on here,someone posted that Koreans tend to take care of their own,so if they want to give them commission for translating I figure what the heck.Here are my reasons why I'm not bothered by it

- Earlier I mentioned my host mom booked appointments for me shortly after I reached and that was because prior to my arrival I told her I as doing plastic surgery and I mentioned the clinics I wanted to go to.It's a damn good thing the appointments were made in advance as opposed to me walking in because clinics charge you for walk ins.Now i don't now about you but i'm not gonna pay for a consultation with a clinic that I may or may not book
- I feel really bad for posting her information on here in the first place because now all I see is her name blasted all over the place but whats done is done and the reason I did it was because I was soo excited and I wasn't really thinking.Also she did an impeccable job translating for me but I wasn't reliant on that only.I had my list of questions for the doc along with a million pictures(literally lol) of what I wanted and did not want.
- At first I was really excited about getting a translator until I actually talked to them over email.I realized how deceitful they can be. I'm not saying all are the same but ive read this forum from to back and people talk about Zoe and Anita and how great they are,so I had high expectations when I emailed them
-So Zoe was a sweetheart,she answered all my questions and gave me her rate ($300 flat fee,excluding her commission). She was pretty straight forward and I liked that but she ditched me last minute when I told her I wanted to ay $15,000 usd.She was usually prompt with her messages back to me but after she kindly said she couldn't translate for me I asked her if she could recommend me someone but she left me high and dry.
- Now Anita just pissed me off because she gave me a ($150 flat fee,excluding commission) plus free airport pickup service. Everything was ready and set and stupid me decided to tell her my budget a week or so before I was ready to come. So out of the blue she says as of January 2014 her rate is $150 a day.So I was like wtf,because just last week(after 2014) we were all set.Then she hits me with another wtf.Her office was closed the day I arrive and 3 days after so her driver will have to pick me up and translate for me and I have to pay him $30 to translate for each clinic and that doesn't include the after care service,which was still probably $150 a day.At this point fireworks were going off in my head and I was furious,so I pretty much came here alone and I just felt betrayed but luckily things turned out ok. I'm sure there are some good translators out there but they just shouldn't treat people the way they treated me. So yeah,that's what happened to me.That's how I ended up here and I'm so glad things happened the way they did because I wouldn't have it any other way.A the end of the day I ended up saving more money instead of being duped.
- Also it's funny you mention host moms only do it for the money because as soon as I read that my mind went back to my pre-blender days when I would walk for 3-4 hours at a time without drinking anything and would stumble into the building looking like one of those zombies from the walking dead. My host mom pretty much said listen you need to eat and stop with this bs else you will pass out and she would literally cook for me and say here eat this (she probably thought I was anorexic at first but truth is I just didn't know how to handle things).So she pretty much brought me back to reality.
- Like I said it's my fault for foolishly posting too much info on the forum,I mean people shes not a translator.She runs a hotel, thats all but she helps people out sometimes,people like me.Which is cool and all but I hope I didn't overwhelm her.Anyway,I said what needed to be said because I honestly feel like not all translators are trustworthy so be careful

Makeover,

Like always, really appreciate your sharing with us what you are going thru, good and not so good, which is so valuable for readers like myself. 2-jaw is a huge deal as you showed us and people\ned to be aware of that before they take it on. I was wondering if you are taking any antibiotic to keep the infection away for your cheek/mouth? I was going to bring some strong ones with me for oral infection in case it's needed even though I may be only doing v-line and zygoma. Not sure about 2-jaw yet.

BTW, are the screws you mentioned from 2-jaw? Are they metal ones? Are all screws removed so you won't end up having any left in the face?

Hope your swelling get better soon!!

Makeover, get well soon okay. And thanks for sharing your experience, I appreciated.

I actually think its good that you posted her hotel info. This gave her some new business at the hotel. She is also very highly rated on Airbnb and Booking.com reviews. So her name is out there already. Thanks for the tips I look forward to staying there. I think a host that help out deserves a bit of commission or something extra as long as its like reasonable and not like the $$$ making translator services.

I feel the same way as pres. I heard all those bad translator stories and I was lost on how I was going to go to the non English speaking clinics I was interested in. I almost cancelled the whole thing. As long as they don't outright scam us out of our money, I think it's alright. Even if she did get commission, you still got a deal. That's really all that I am hoping for too. Thank you for letting us know. I hope your post op issues heal up soon!

Hi may I ask which doctor and clinic that you went and how much ?

peterpan88 said: ↑

For eyes, I would suggest Teuim. I've heard many good reviews about that place.

I'm going there to get my eyes done as well.

Ask for Doctor Kwon when you go there.

For nose, it's a basic surgery, so any clinics should be able to do it for you.

hi,

how much did you pay and what was your experience at teuim like? i plan to go there in may

Although the host mum is running the hotels but how much can she earns as compared to the commission form the translator . She is definitely get some but not as much as Nicole and Zoe . The price you pay for the surgery is depending on their commission . My experience with them the ephhatha residence is . They quite me krw 57k a night if I didn't do a plastic surgery for single room and krw40k a night if I do a plastic surgery . Think about it why there is a price difference ? And also why they are so persistent that I stay with them and keeps their price lower and lower when I decided to cancel their accommodation . They are but desperate to rent out the rooms rather they want to take the opportunity to warn the commission form you . What I am saying is it is not right it wrong . But gals and guys out there please hired a licensed translator and professional enough to translator for you sine you are going to pay such prices . Rather than you hired someone who only know very basic English and don't understand certain terms and might make mistake . If surgery went wrong you will regret . Since the purse forum is to get all the plastic surgery enthusiast to get together each if you should help each other and save on the cost . For those who has the money please don't engage those illegal translator because I had saw many bad incidents from the other forumer. Those name being mentioned here in the forum eg Zoe and Anita is not the only translator in the whole of Korea . So search further ....,

 

[cyanidestyling]

Confused as to why this is on PURSEforum

[mummymm]

Yes, Peterpan88 please update us on your eyes at Teuim and surgeries at the other clinic you have selected for each feature. thanks!!


the surgery in HK is so much more expensive here.

Very very true, last time when I went a few days just for consultations, a friend of a friend offer to go with me to consultations to help, in the end i realized he only speak very very basic English and he can hardly understand what I want to say, he cant even translate to the doctor, I am more very frustrated with him not understanding than not translating.


After leaving clinic, he's still negotiating the prices on the phone with them, after 5 days of visiting different clinics, I was confused and tired of speaking simple English to him. next time, i will hire a translator rather than take anyone who offer himself. so naïve.

[k-couture]

each surgeon is different and each patient's needs are different so its unrealistic to have standardized prices. Surgeons have every right to charge whatever price they feel their service is valued at just as we have ever right to move on to the next clinic.

Its not that a clinic like vip is astronomically more expensive than the others, its that some of their procedures are not common in Seoul. You will find that the costs for many of their procedures are comparable to the more mid-high end clinics. High end in terms of prices not skill. But Vip does rib rhinoplasty which is always more expensive than using an artificial implant. Its by no means an empirically superior method for nose jobs but it is more difficult, requires alot more skill on the part of the surgeon to perform it properly and its not commonly offered in Korea. While cartilage grafts are the norm in many western countries, artificial implants are the norm in asia. So that's one reason why some may find a clinic like VIP more expensive.
