Thank you for your prompt reply! Looking forward to see you b/a photos. You can share with me at [email protected]. It will remain private.

I am contemplating migo and dreams. I heard Dream does wonders for eyes. Not sure how true this is. I'm suprised that they charged really cheap. I have been liasing with them and I find that the admin is so rude. Even my Korean friend thinks that they are very very rude. I have asked them for quotation but they refuse to give.

Now that you have mentioned about migo, I really wanna go for Dr lee. What you went through is pretty scary..

Hopefully you have a speedy recovery! Pineapple juice to deswell!!

Sorry for spamming. but here's my surgery experience.

Again, it is at Migo. 4.3million for eyes (reshaping double folds and lateral), 5.5 million (for sillicon implant, tiplasty and alar reduction and sedation). Consultant said she can reduce the price if I just opt for local anesthesia for nose too, but translator is afraid that I would be scared, so she suggested sedation, which I agree.

Was told to arrive at 1pm to prepare for surgery at 3pm. I changed clothes at about 2pm, washed my face, put on IV drip, and was in the consultation room again to meet both the eyes and nose doctors another time to confirm surgery details but it was a long wait. For a small clinic like Migo, it is very busy. by 3pm, I still have not meet any doctors. Was given magazine to read and I was getting jittery. at 3.10 the nose surgeon came in and I once again told him I do not wish to have a very high nose, and he wrote it down. Then I got to meet the eyes doc and he was very impatient this time round and used the tweezer to draw my folds and asked me which want I like. Anyway I reckon he's really busy. Anyway I was in the surgery room by 3.40pm and Dr. Lee came in to "design" my eyes with a pen. He's a perfectionist. He drew the lines, then erase them away, each time mummbling to himself and also asking his nurse if it's balanced on both side. I think he erased like about 4 times before he's satisfied himself. Next, I was given a short sedation and I felt like I was spinning when they played "Kokomo" in the background. That's when they injected local anesthesia near my eyes. I woke up shivering and kicking and Dr Lee was asking me not to move. I finally gather enough strength to said "COLD!!" in Korean a few times and that's when they wrapped me with more blankets. Then Dr. Lee started working on my eyes. I could hear laser zapping and smell a burnt smell. From time to time, he would ask me to open my eyes (in English) and look at him. And then he was done. I think he took a long time with my eyes because he was such a perfectionist. Remember vaguely that the nurse took me to the recovery room and when they asked me to open my eyes I saw my translator and I asked her what time was it, and it was already 5.30pm. I was like "is my nose done too?!" and she said "no...i'm going to another surgery room soon". Was asked me gargle something to clean my mouth cavaity and then I was brought to another surgery room and before I knew it, i fell into a deep sleep.

Then someone tugged my hand told me to "wake up~~~" I opened my eyes and they brought me back to the recovery room and I asked "what time is it?" it was like 9 plus... Then suddenly i felt many pple crowd around me, including my translator. Apprently I am bleeding too much from my right eyes. and the nurse thinks that warrant a doctor. But Dr. Lee has already left by then and they called a female doc in. I didn't open my eyes after because it was bleeding and they told me to keep them close. Then the translator held my hand and told me that they think its better to remove the stitch on the right eye, and restitch back. I couldn't even reply but I was so scared inside. I'm like what's happening to me!?! So I'm back in the eye surgery room and wanted to throw up, so they injected some anti-vomitting stuff into me intravenously and they started to cut the stitch and i'm like "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" and screamed that I'm in pain in korean. Then they said "painful??" then told me they will proceed to give me local anesthesia. That was even more painful!! i jus went "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and translator assured me that it will be no more pain soon...and then they just proceed to re-stitch. And the female doc told me that I need to be blindfolded for a night. they bandaged me thickly and tightly I felt uncomfortable but the nurse told me it has to be like that to have some pressure so my eyes could stop bleeding. I thought I was going blind. It was ultra uncomfortable because my nose is blocked (cotton swabs in the nostrils), one side of my ear is bandaged and now my eyes!! And my mouth was so dry. Translator left me after my eyes were bandaged and told me to rest. She said I have to stay in the hospital as it was already late and she will return tomorrow. Then I'm left in the recovery room myself with a bell to call the night nurse whenever i needed help. I think I'm much more troublesome than other patients because I couldn't see. I rang her a few time for water (I tried to tolerate until I couldn't before pressing the bell) and twice for the toilet. The very last time, I asked her what time was it, and she told me 4.40am. I was like "what?!!" time passed really slowly because I was scared (mainly because my eyes were blindfolded and i'm scared of going blind due to the bleeding). I asked if I could remove the bandage because its uncomfortable but she told me i have to wait till morning. That was the last time I troubled her and then filled myself with thoughts. I was like omg, if i survive this, i have to go back and tell my parents how much I love them. it was forever to me, before she came in at 8am again to tell me to wake up (although i wasn't sleeping at all) and she finally removed the bandage! She asked me to open my eyes and I did! I was so relieved. She said my eyes are super swollen because of the bleeding, and then she brought me some rice, seaweed soup and side dishes for breakfast. Later they brought me to the treatment room to clean my wounds and put cream on my stiches. Dr. Kang, the nose surgeon came to look at me and told me my nose is okay but again commented that my right eye was very swollen and told the nurse to keep giving me ice pack to compress. Then was brought back to the recovery room again. About half an hour later, the consultant came and was like "aigo, you suffered alot" and she patted me and told me she will bring me to the eye surgeon now. The eye surgeon told me to try to open my eyes (although my lids are thick like sausages) and look at him, and then cover my left eye to check if I can see clearly with my right eyes (luckily I could!) and then he said my eyes will de-swell slower than normal because I had lasik and so they couldn't do cold compress directly on my eyes. I could do very light cold compress for a short time on my eyes to help with the swelling but it will still take a longer time. He also told me he knew that I was bleeding last night (although he wasn't present at that time already) and told me not to worry.

Then while waiting for the translator as she is busy with another client, the cleaning ahjumma gave me lunch too and even gave me a yougurt drink. The nurse and consultant took turns to check on me which I thought is nice and then pppmmm (another forummer here) came and accompany me despite having her nose and fatting grafting done 2 days before me!

Anyway, I survived! I have the utmost respect for those who did nose and jaw/v-line surgery together. Must have been diffiult to breathe... Anyway good luck for those who are having surgery!! I'm slowly recovering although my lids are still thick like sausages. hahaha.

This may not be enough help or information, but I did read a post here that a lady unfortunately had a bad job at ID hospital, and turned to View for revision.
It was a post by marir. A friend's positive experience on View.

[sanmi]

Mischa thanks for replying, a post is beta than nothing
-I tried to read the website of view for nose revision pics but can't see any, only pri cases.
The pics are pretty nice those gals are great looking after PS in view. M deciding between jw and view now jw Dr suh from what I hear is GD in revisions, juz not sure of which doc in view is GD in nose revisions.

 

[mischa-mikael]

Honestly, I didn't really look out for JW.
But I've come across it being mentioned here a number of times.
What I also noticed was making deposit... Mmmm I wouldn't really make a deposit before I'm fully assured though.

The thing is I don't even know who had revisions with the site in Korean. Most look great. Have you seen photos on a blog in naver and korean cafes?
Well I do know in View, Dr Choi specializes in nose surgeries.

Nah you got it completely wrong. Marir's friend went to ID for a consultation and in the waiting room, saw a girl that had a bad jaw surgery gone wrong and she was there for revision. Marir's friend got scared off and chose view. She never even did her nose. let alone revision for anything.

Tlps& view asked for a deposit when I called (from home) them and enquire about surgery dates. Probably its a common practice to pay deposit to secure surgery date??

 

[crystallinesnow]

Good luck guys! Hope you have a blast and hope all your surgeries turn out successfully
