mwol Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 ah that's nice of anita to say that. i don't have the luxury to do that so i wanted to do it all at once, it's a bit crazy but i think i will be okay ^_^ yes i think it's better to do it by the same doctor so you are more likely to get a harmonious face but sometimes after major surgery like facial contouring your other features mesh well with your new one. my friend did facial contouring and wanted to do eyes too but after her jaw and vline her eyes looked bigger but i guess it depends what the doctor says and your trust in him and yourself! i hope everything goes well for you!! i am glad my information is helpful for some of you ^^ i will let you know about banobagi, by then i think you will be able to pm and i will message you but i am impressed by banobagi's work i just wasn't interested in them so that's why i didn't bother looking info and reviews on them on the korean cafes. i am not too sure about your cheekbone problem, do you mean only a frontal view your face seems wide? i think you need to ask specifically about this to your doctor because i know smallface has specific types of surgery like "frontal" and "45(?) degree" and they say they reduce the width in a way so your face isn't completely flat (sorry haha idk how to explain it very well), but i am not too sure about other clinics since smallface are facial contouring specialist. i have to disagree about the results on men about smallface, if you look at the before and after (there's about 100 pages) some of the most drastic ones are men. for example this one: i think your drooping problem under the chin, you need a jowl reduction. i think THINK tlps provides or has a surgery to combat this.. i think it's called a v lift or something like that? but i think other clinics should have this service too but they probably call it something else (my best guess is jowl reduction). haha prp treatment never crossed my mind until i saw the results and read some reviews, especially because i started to get interested in fat grafts for forehead clinics usually combine this with prp, to maximise the result but i was pleasantly surprised that it helps with acne and scars too~ your shortlisted clinics are really good choices, you should be very confident and happy with them i haven't seen any serious red flags about them. good luck!!

mwol Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 hi ^^ no problem. you do not need to purchase that exact boxset (i'm not) i just wanted to give an idea of what could help, like you see the pill bromelain pills right? you can easily search that and i'm sure any pharmacy or health food store will have it for you (it's essentially pineapple), that's why after your surgery eat as much pineapple as you can hehe ( and pumpkin too )! after your surgery you will get medication and almost always one of the medication will be bromelain. it won't hurt to get stocked up especially if you do a more invasive surgery and swelling can persist for 1 year. i think in korea you can find cheaper and probably better options (since korea is skincare crazy). i don't know if i am making sense haha.. those aren't brands they just contain ingredients which will aid in healing and recovering. you can easily google "arnica cream" and find a cheaper alternative. personally for me i am just going to grab all that stuff in korea ^^ i remember reading on a forum there is even a special skincare brand catered for postop patients and they have this whole range of makeup and skincare line you use afterwards to aid with healing, scars and stitches etc. i will try to find it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwol Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 i forgot who asked me but you couldn't find the email address for DAPRS on their website, i kakaoed them and they replied to me their email is:[email protected] i should also add that their original kakao id: DAPRS isn't the one they use (which i think is weird since they put this on their website.. but they don't respond me > grr) and they actually use this one: da34484600 ^ that's the one i use to communicate with them, be patient though they respond pretty slowly haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niyang Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm new to the forum, but I've been stalking this page for quite a while ^^;; For some reason, I can't find much information on the amount of surgery in one day possible? Like I've heard of people getting many things done at once, but what's the limit? I plan to get v-line, zygoma reduction, rhinoplasty and maybe eyes? Would I be able to go through this all in one sitting? And a second question is what are your views on Cinderella clinic? I like their before and afters, but not many people have reviews on it (that I can find). Is it really as expensive as people say? I think ~10-15k USD is my limit. And have you seen this http://koreanovernight.com/bennett/ It's basically discrediting many plastic surgery clinics. I don't know how valid the site's statements are though....

makemeup Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I totally get what you're saying and I was thinking the same thing as I was looking at the link you posted. The middle item is what made me go searching for it because It has herbs ans such that I have no idea what those are. oh yeah, I'm learning that Koreans are serious about their skincare. I imagine I'll be spending some money in that direction when I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkzabii Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hey everyone I'm in Korea now met up with Blair n Chris yesterday and decided to share my consult experience I went to jw with my guest house owner she offered to go with me and translate(she is an amazing lady I love her) saw dr suh and dr ahn and dr woo I really like the nose doctor here but I still feel like the price is above my budget I got quoted 5.5mil kwn for rhino, tip, alar base reduction which I feel is quite expensive for primary rhino but his method of cutting the outside of the alar gave me my ideal look for my nose he spoke English so I felt very comfortable with him Dr ahn he doesn't speak English and my host translated for me the whole time, I need incisional and lower eyelid surgery for fat repositioning I want an open fold and he goes for a very natural very subtle approach... ,my host understood what I was trying to say and agreed he didn't seem to be able to deliver what I wanted and requested a different doctor (dr woo) he was a younger doctor after talking to him I still didn't feel completely comfortable with his approach so we went to see the consultant to get our quotes they quoted me a total of $9000 for rhino incisional eyelid and lower eyelid Afterwards I met up with Chris and Blair and we went to chungdam u saw dr lee he speaks English also so no need for a translator for those of you who are interested. Dr lee was super patient very detailed and always asked If I had any questions after explaining the procedures he gave me the quote and said if I had any questions I can feel free to ask him. The only thing I didn't really like is he suggested closed alar reduction via suture method I know that is less scar and less invasive but I kinda have an idea of what I need .. Still considering them since I just emailed dr lee regarding cutting alar Today I went with yoon(Anita's translators) to GIRIN OMG they are so expensive!! Maybe cause I went with a translator? I'm not sure but $11,000 for Eyes: incisional eyelid surgery, epi, ptosis, and lower eyelid surgery Nose: rhino w nasal hump reduction (break nasal bone for osteotomy with closed rhino) alar base reduction columnar repositioning It was non negotiable too ... They offered $500 dollar discount but that was still ridiculously above my budget so crossed them off ... The doctors were very detailed and nice, drew me pictures and spent a lot of time on my consult at least half an hour each (nose doc, eye doc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkzabii Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Continuation.. My next consult was with REAL they have a English speaking consultant so you won't need a translator here either she warned me they would be quite expensive since the doctor has over 20 years experience she suggested incisional eyelid surgery ...said I didn't need lower eyelid :/ and that I had a good height and didn't need silicone so I would only require Eyes:incisional one cut across and remove excess fat and skin Nose: alar reduction via cutting and tiplasty Total:$7000 if I wanted a longer nose (tip augmentation) it would be $8000 I found it really expensive since i wasn't getting under eye, epi, or silicone ... I left a little upset cause I really liked the consultant I felt she really understood me and I liked that they suggested a surgery without silicone since I don't really care for it but not for 8000$ if they quoted me 4.5 or $5000 I would have booked them on the spot Jewelry was next Omg, curiosity killed the cat... I wanted to come here cause I wanted to see the look that everyone talks about their signature big eyed look before we arrived I told yoon we don't even need to come here cause I felt like the other clinics were enough for me to think about but she said since it's free consult why not ? And it was three blocks from where I was staying so I said okay... Eyes: incision and they will include ptosis If I need it Rhino- silicone , alar, nasal hump, tip Total was 6.4 mil kwn if I wanted lower eyelid surgery it would be 8mil kwn I kinda knew I didn't want to do my surgery here cause although the receptionist all had big eyes they aren't what u would call dolly ... More like the grudge or goldfish popping type of eyes and the doctor was super nice as he came to see me in before surgery but he had the most trouble thinking what to do with my nose. I've never felt so stressed during a consultation before cause the consultant was quite pushy! Said if I booked them on the spot would offer even more discount and asked hoe much other clinics offer and see If they can beat it I told her I wanted time to think and let her know in an hour she said I can think in the waiting area ....-_- I had spent the whole day consulting I really needed some alone time to think who I wanted to book and their waiting area was definitely not the spot I wanted to do thinking at so I told my translator I wanted to go home and think I also consulted with view but didn't get to see the doctor so I will update with that tomorrow after I see dr choi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeover Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's kinda scary to be going to another country by myself for 5 weeks but some things are worth going for,Ive been saving for about 2 years now and its finally time but I kinda wished I was going with someone who I could go through the strenuous process of recover with but promise makemeup I will share my results because id be happy to inspire.I might even post the process as I go through it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keching Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi anyone did any PS before with Belita clinic? Or maybe you guys can point to me which thread that have their information? This forum is so crowded with alot information and their website also not working. Anyone can help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I switched some of my clinic choices thanks to the detailed feedback and photos you provided so "helpful" would be an understatement to be honest! V-lift sounds like the type of thing I want with my surgery to make sure no sagging or jowls appear. And I haven't seen that result from small face, I stand corrected as that is indeed a huge difference! I also researched prp treatment last night and saw some before and afters, loved the outcome so I plan to ask for it when I'm there. As for the cheekbones you're right, side view is fine but from the front view my face appears wide which is why I prefer taking pictures from the side. I'll bring it up during my consultations and see what they'll have to say. Thank you so much mwol and I look forward to know more about banobagi whenever you get a chance, hopefully the pm gets enabled soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi Niyang! I've seen many getting all those surgeries in one sitting especially the zygoma/v-line/rhino combination so I don't think you should be worried about that but it's best to get more than one surgeon involved as I've read some try to avoid having one surgeon perform all their procedures. I've never seen that Ms. Bennet page before, it has good general info some of which was brought up here although considering that it's promotional I'd take some of their claims with a grain of salt. I'm following your updates and wish you the best of luck Bkzabii! mwol mentioned that she has a friend who's done PS at Belita so she might be able to help I'd love to read your process and I'm pretty much doing the same thing, will be staying there for about a month and hopefully it'll pass by smoothly for both of us!
