Best Plastic Surgery Clinics in Korea -read 1st post before posting.

[sesamekiss]

Hey ~ does anyone know how much view or girin ps charge for eyelid or rhinoplasty or mini v-line surgery?

Im really considering them now... And if they are as cheap as wonjin then that means I can get my chin done too! Haha -

Was originally going to get rhino with poss of revisional eyelid and fat graft. I wanted mini v line too but most clinics are out of my budget!!
So far I have ID and JW as my favourites but I really want to consider View as well as Girin as they seem popular with the locals.

I may consider translator now too.

I am going February 26th

Travel Buddy Wanted!

Hey guys I'm a 19 year old female, looking for another female travel buddy!
I'm going to Seoul, Korea in Mid January for Mandible Angle Reduction + Nose Augmentation.

I'm looking into banobagi, grand, bk clinic, and small face clinic.
If anyone is going for surgery during that time, please let me know.

First big surgery... AH

Thanks for saying they quoted you a high price too. Quality is very important to me more than paying a cheaper price. But I honestly believe we can get good quality surgeries without being over charged. When are you coming to Seoul? I plan on coming in March and so far I plan on checking out ID, JW, and Smallface

yes, i think so too. Since after marir post i know that clinics still can gain profit even if they charge 10m for zygoma n vline.

I am going in December this year. I have booked an appointment to visit smalllface but the weird thing is now the hype if grifin,tlps and view apparently..

if only i understand korean

Omg I'm so thrilled just got my $$ today, additional money for surgery!!
Hasnt heard from TLPS, they really doesnt have any english speaker there..SIGHH
Anyway TLPS before/after gallery (posted by the community) is pretty impressive, I think they have this Power V surgery which is kind of 'lifting' (no bone moved etc only skin) and the locals who did it really have major change!

Anyw, I'm keeping my options open now, still have my lipo clinic as the priority ><
Samsung PS attracts me too , it has better integration for foreigners and from that naver cafe, quite a number of local went there too xD !
Theres two samsung clinic the ksamsung gangnam and samsung line , but from previous Marir's research most of them go for ksamsung..?
hmm

Most likely, I will stick with my lipo clinic and go for TLPS for their non invasive V surgery...Gonna see how it goes hopefully they get back to me or something
Getting so impatient ><

No pain no gain!

I am considering Banobagi too but waiting for their email. It has been 3 days since I emailed them. I guess the consultants must be very busy. When are u going to Seoul?

Well said, Karime!

VIP is way too expensive and the doc suggested additional surgery, altho all I asked for are eyes and nose surgery. I started reading from last page and by the time I reached up till pg 400, I'm like "oh my god... this is confusing... so which are the best clinics to go to?!"

Karime said: ↑

Well for me re: VIP before I started looking into PS in korea, I consulted w a board certified ps in beverly hills for double eye surgery n then maybe a nj bcause his nj b/a were excellent. He said he cud do it, but he honestly told me he doesn't do much of those types of eye surgeries. That's y Istarted to look into ps in korea. But wen vip quoted me prices, I thoughtt their cost of a nj, plus cost of travel will be the same as this ps in beverly hills. So that's y I crossed vip off my list. If Iwas gonna spend all that $ for a nj I might as well get the follow up care in LA. I really need my eyes done first anyways.

Right now, I am rereading the entire 1st thread of the best ps in korea. I'm on pg 70 n it is almost a let down. It is a lot of forumers repeating what the previous have stated. Many forumers reading maybe the first 30pgs n trying to go by that. So a lot of repetion. I just joined this forum 5 days ago and was really excited. I realized, I too, sounded a lot like the other forumers when they first joined choosing from the limited clinics that were posted. Now I'm focusing on the forumers who've said they've actually had surgeries done. There haven't been many. I think in the 70pgs/apprx 1000 posts, there has been around 30 and a few of those sound fishy or have been deactivated. So i really hope no one takes these forums too seriously. It is really sad bcuz we really don't have anyone to turn to if we don't know/have someone translate for us. I have tons of friends who r fluent in Korean, but I'm too embarrassed to ask them for help. Yes, my loss.

I'm still trying to find info on Grand bcuz in all my emails sent to various clinics, their suggestions were exactly my concerns as well. I basically sent my pics to all the clinics n asked them what they thought I needed. Grand said everything that I was thinking, minus one surgery that I think I do need, but maybe they couldnt tell from the photo I sent. I am looking for eyes, fat grating, and genioplasty. Then maybe on another trip, I will focus on nj n maybe vline. I'm not gonna lie, but for a brief moment I did think I could do all these changes (vline, nj, eyes, genio, etc) at once to save $ m n hope to look like these beautiful korean stars. Silly right? Right now I'm reading these sites for different names of clinics n then I will check them out during my visit.


Well I wish u the best of luck. This experience has made me realize 1. it is my face that I seriously need to b worried about 2. That I shudnt try to do too much at one time to save $. I'm not from that country, so I need realize I won't have the follow ups like those who live there.

I think we can limit the # of ppl who get sponsored by clinics n try to sway our thoughts from coming onto this forum by not mentioning their names when we go for consultations cuz then they can't get a cut.
As for translators, I'm thinking, if we do our research we can ask these translators to take us to the places we want to go to not the places where they suggest. As far as marketers, Ithink Ispotted a cpl who sound like they work straight for these clinics, Iguess we just gotta weed them out wen we read their postings.

Regen replied my email! The consultant seemed nice and friendly from the tone of the email and for hump removal, implant and alar reduction, they quoted me 5-6mil won. Anyone has contacted Regen before and gotten a quote? Is it possible to let me know how much Regen quoted you?

For my eyes, they didn't want to quote cos they said my eyes are not small and can't be changed much with surgery but can't be improved a bit and asked me to go for face to face consultation for that.

Anyone asked for eye surgery from Regen and got a quote? Can let me know how much?

Anyone considering Cinderella? I saw their website and wow... the transformation is dramatic but seems like they can create dolly eyes. Any feedback or comments on Cinderella? Would love to hear. Thanks!

I have been reading view clinic plastic surgery diary from patient.
Translated one into english which i think really depicts and prepares us for what is ahead.

For those that are keen to do vline and zygoma, below is a rough translation


Procedure: square jaw, zygoma, vline, rhinoplasty

"Regardless of what angle my face shape is ugly, large and prominent zygoma makes me look older than my actual age. The shape of nose is eagle-like and makes me look unfeminine. I was ridiculed in school because of my big face and i hated myself cos of this. My boyfriend poked fun at me saying that his face is smaller than mine. His comment makes me sad"

The day of operation

When i was on the operating table, the anesthesiologist told me that the operation will begin now. I started feeling drowsy few seconds after they gave me the anesthesia, then i was knocked out. When i woke up i was in the recovery room, i discovered the bandage and blood tubes in my face. The whole night i woke up and fell asleep a feel time , i didn't like the feeling. However there were nurses around and in the morning they took out the blood tubes and i was discharged with the bandages wrapped around my face. The staff helped me to call a cab , it was a bit difficult but i patiently waited for a prettier me

2nd day post op

I drank porridge through a straw, surviving a fluid diet.For example, abalone porridge, milk ,banana etc.. all of which are easy to digest. The entire day i alternate between munching a little and sleeping for a while. The second day, the swelling was really bad, it was unbearable. However my cousin envy me and wanted a similar surgery, i was happy.

3rd day post op

Finally i reached the 3rd day, doctor warned me that this will be the swelling peak period! I was in such terrible pain that i couldn't even lift up my head! It was difficult for me when i tried to talk but still i was religiously doing cold compressing which i hope can aid in de-swelling. At the same time my friends kept giving me encouragements. As the swelling was really too much, i couldn't eat properly and i relied on straws to drink in fluid food. I took medicine and constantly rinse my mouth. I bear with the pain and suffering in hope of a beautiful me

7 days post op

7 days post op, my face returned back to normal, most of the swelling disappeared. When i went back for follow up, doctor was all praise for my surgery result. Not only was my nose natural, i could see the V line. I was really happy hearing all these. Even though it's only been a week, i almost forgot how i looked like before surgery. It's as if i was this pretty to begin with. After confirming my de-swelling skincare appointment i went back home. I happily anticipated how i will look like after all the swelling is gone. When i was having a video conference with my friend, she kept saying how pretty i became and that i looked like a movie star. I was so happy that i feel like crying. I really wanna tell all those who are having doubts about this surgery not to hesitate! Actually i have my doubts before the surgery as well but i am very satisfied now! I kinda regret having all these doubts before my surgery. Those that are thinking of having plastic surgery, do not fear, pluck out the courage and just do it! You will feel so blessed after the surgery.

14 days post op

My face has significantly deswell, my facial contour is now more feminine. Frankly speaking i am still not used to the new face shape. For my nose, everyone was saying that it is so natural and beautiful. Everyone around me is so envious of me and everyone wanted to do the surgery. After surgery, i treat everyone sincerely and day by day i feel more and more blissful. Through surgery, not only did i become prettier, my personality improves as well. Now i can eat the food that i ate before surgery.

1 month post op

Whether its without make up or without, i am always out enjoying myself. I am completely bare face in this photo. The best result after surgery was the increase in my self confidence. At two weeks post op i still have some swelling, now i am one month post op i still have some residual swelling (although people told me its fat, i firmly believed that it was swelling). Since i become prettier, i start to look after my well being more.

3 months post op

I have friend that did the exact same surgery, she too became so much prettier! I just wanna say that plastic surgery is amazing! Everytime when i look at myself in the mirror, i am still shocked. i feel really really happy, i don't even know how to describe the feeling. Plastic surgery changed my life!

4 months pot op

My life is good. I am slightly fatter than a month ago, i intend to go for yoga to slim down. Even though it looks like the swelling is gone i feel that there is still residual swelling hence i am going to exercise regularly. Whenever i go now, nobody knows that i did plastic surgery. Everyone thought i was born pretty hence i didn't even want to bring up about my plastic surgery. After gaining confidence in my look, i am happy doing everything, life becomes much more meaningful. I hope i can remain like this forever.

7 month post op

Winter is here! I am down with a flu now hence i need to stay home. This picture was taken a while ago. Sorry, i look a bit lethargic here. I do not want to go return to what i previously looked like so i have been careful in what i eat, now i am used to eating soft food.If i am given a choice i will definitely do this surgery again!

Hihi,

Have you sent emails to the various clinics to ask whether if ptosis correction is right for you? I want to do my eyes and nose. Dr Park from Oz said I dn't need to do my eyes but Dr from VIP said I need to do ptosis and mid face augmentation on top of nose. I'm confused cos different dr have different opinion but VIP is charging me much much more for my nose job so I have decided to drop this clinic. I saw Banobaji website and it seems impressive. I have also dropped the clinic an email with my pictures.

Let me know which clinic you have decided on. I am not sure which one to go to as well. Thanks!

Click to expand...

I have emailed Dr Park from OZ and he said I need to do ptosis correction and now I'm in contact with the others, we'll see what they say.

it seems that Dr. Park is not good for eyes when I read the thread, and Banobagi clinic is good for the eyes.

does anyone know which Dr is good for the eyes in Banobagi clinic?

Has anyone done ptosis correction with Dr park at Oz, Dr Kim at BK, Banobagi, VIp?

HEY! thanks for posting this up... really appreciate it coz i'm also thinking of zygoma & v-line!

 

[sodas]

hey everyone, i am back in the US. It has been two weeks since my rhino, and here is an update.

at the one week mark, i was slightly concerned because the tip looked round, and the radix area was too high. but as the swelling, my nose now looks amazeball. in fact, it looks so good, i feel embarrassed each time i looked into a mirror.

and my mom noticed, got angry, but admitted that it was an improvement.

bought her bb cream as a bribe. lol

 

[karime]

Yes, definitely just a pinch of salt. As far as *****77, i agree he did offer a lot of surgical advice, so as I reread it all, if I do things from him that will b helpful, ie hotel stay, how to help reduce swelling, etc I will repost the pg, so that others can read.
As far as marketers, there was 1 forumer in particular, who struck me as odd because she would enter once in awhile and add to peoples wanting to know about a particular surgery by saying she had xxxxxx done, then a few hundred posts later, someone else will talk about another surgery n then she would reply saying she had xxxxx done by the same clinic. And then again with another surgery she would promote the same clinic. Seemed kind of odd to me.
I think a lot of us see/read these real stories of famous stars and hope that the same transformations will happen to us. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I am thinking these amazing results as far and few in between.

ReinRain said: ↑

well.. it was tough reading from page 1 coz i had that experience but you will get there... you jus have to speed read... i total skip those couple of sentence kind of post coz i dun think you could explain experiences in jus few sentence...

to be honest, i couldn't tell who is working for which clinic when i read their post... coz they seem pretty geniuine... a couple of previous frequent posters provided a lot of information esp xxxxx77... he provided alot of medical advices and experiences...

i dunno... if someone does something from a clinic and gives detail experiences and mentions the doctor that did it... pple will suspect that poster works for a particular clinic, so how do one differientate them?

i think as a general precaution, read things in forum with a pinch of salt... that will solve any problems arising, and YES, dun mention about anyone to deter those 'promoters' from getting any benefits (that sounds like a good plan)... *jus my 2cents*

but i agree with you that i think i would not want to do everything in one shot becoz of saving money. i read that if u do ALOT of procedures at one shot... naturally the downtime (swelling n bruising) is alot to handle... with the prolong downtime, naturally one will get very worried and start having wat i call post-surgery depression...

i think i should start to prioritize(?) the areas i'm doing and then save accordingly...

Idk which are the best clinics I will post all the surgeries ppl said they've done after I'm done w rereading the 1st post and then you can decide which ones u will wanna check out. Remember though, the surgeries that I will compile into a list, could have come from marketers or forumers who might gain $ or free surgeries from their positive experience from that doctor/clinic.
So give me about a week and i will post up a list where u can read about which forumer had what done and where. I am trying to give myself only an hr a day to this site, but it is so addicting.

I wanted to go in Dec. too but I was afraid of going during peak season. I hate the fact I have to wait until March to go to Seoul but I'm hoping it'll be a lot slower at that time. Tlps does look good, maybe I'll try to email them for some prices. Please let me know how your consultation at Smallface goes because I'm seriously considering them for zygoma and V-line
