stitch_madness Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's what I thought too, but I'm really scared to do 2-jaw T_T Happened to chance upon thishttp://kpsurgery.co/post/65820974171/korean-plastic-surgery-by-everm-dental-clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnskies Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 As a rule of thumb, work from the outside of your face in. Shaving down your chin or cheekbones can make your nose look wider. Some places will not allow rhinoplasty with 2jaw surgery. You don't want to risk your breathing safety during the operation.... I know its tough to be patient.

strawberryxlove Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi guys!! I just did my surgery at ITEM clinic and today is my post surgery day 5 I did mandible reduction but the surgeon Dr Kim recommended to lengthen my chin by 4mm And double eyelid surgery Currently my face is still pretty swollen but I can pretty much eat soft solid foods now I think my recovery is considered pretty quick although I didn't prepare pre-surgery I saw that some of you will be in Korea for surgery these few days, Feel free to kakao me at xstrawberrylovex! All the best to everyone doing their surgeries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malissa Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm really interested in Item Clinic! How did you like it there and how is your surgery experience this far? I hope you turn out to like the results and that you will heal fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryxlove Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hii may i ask which procedures you're considering? The clinic itself is pretty small but the receptionists are pretty helpful (both Chinese and English) When I arrived at the clinic (i booked an appointment for a morning consultation for mandible reduction+double eyelid surgery with Dr Kim followed by the surgery in the afternoon) i had to do a blood test followed by an Xray for my jaw, then Dr Kim gave me his recommendations for the mandible surgery based on the Xray. As you know, wide mandible might not be a bone problem and might just be huge muscles (in which case botox would suffice) but the Xray showed that my mandible angle was prominent and i had a pretty bad face asymmetry problem. Second, Dr Kim strongly recommended chin lengthening using the bone removed from my mandible (after reading the forum today i realized its the same procedure as what indo28 did at Regen!) as he felt my chin was short and lengthening it would give a nice v-line. i was really hesitant on this because 1) i am saving up for a rhinoplasty this June and don't want to spend too much money 2) i admit that my chin is a little short although its normal but i wasn't considering any procedure for my chin at all. So at first after the receptionist quoted me an extra ~3 million won for the chin lengthening i told her i think its fine, i will just do mandible angle because i didn't bring enough money, then she came back shortly afterwards to tell me that the doctor is willing to give me a discount just because he thinks the chin lengthening would look nice with my mandible reduction. So i conceded and paid extra 2070000 won for it in the end. All in all i chose item clinic because i think it gives good value for money (~4000000 won for mandible reduction, ~1400000won for partial incision double eyelid, plus the chin lengthening), but like all plastic surgery clinics, you have to be very specific in knowing what you want and not be swayed into doing multiple procedures once you're there. Also because I went for their consultation in Singapore a few years back and was pretty impressed by the Doctor (Dr Chung) who specialises in double eyelid surgery and subsequently did my double eyelids on Monday. The Singapore coordinator, Elaine Jung, has also been of much help as I had a lot to ask her about the clinic before i went to Korea. Two negative points I can think of right now is that you hardly get to meet the doctor after the surgery (met him once the day after for literally a minute, and Dr. Kim smiled and said my surgery went well, and left abruptly) and the next time i see him will be seven days post op which is next Monday. Second point is, i'm not sure if its a Korean thing in general but some of the nurses are pretty rough like men, even those who look gentle but i have a feeling its just how Korean nurses are like lol. I think if you're looking for a drastic change, item clinic may not be for you because from what I observe all their patients are looking for natural results and those who are looking for more drastic results would go to places like Smallface, etc. however I was just looking for a natural change (to make my square jaw look more feminine and double eyelids) so i feel like i've chosen the right clinic. The first two days after the operation was rough as my face was swollen like a balloon and I had a massive sore throat from being partially sick and from the general anaesthesia but there was a nurse assigned to take care of me all through the night up till the afternoon of the following day. It really isn't painful unless you're afraid of injections. then yeah just the injections but otherwise my face didn't hurt at all besides a dull ache when I pressed down on my jaw bone and the huge headache i got after waking up from the g.a. Another reason why I feel item's doctors (at least, Doctor Kim who specialises in face and Doctor Chung in eyes) are professional is because my recovery has been swift so far and i regained full sensation in my chin and jaw just about 3 hours after surgery (chin slightly slower than jaw), and i saw my friend who did her double eyelids elsewhere and during the downtime it was red and swollen but mine were just slightly swollen and not very reddish, so i'm thankful for that. The chipmunk look is gradually subsiding and now it looks a lot better already even though its day 5, i can enunciate properly although my mouth makes a weird shape because of the tight bandage wrapped around my jaw (to be removed on monday!) and eat semi-solid food (even though you're advised not to until the second week so i'm trying to resist!) I can also brush my teeth gently and can stick 3 fingers into my mouth without difficulty hoping for more improvements over the next few days! its easy to get depressed because I'm only 19 and came here alone for 10 days to get this done and when I look at myself in the mirror looking like a chipmunk i question if it was money well spent, if i'd even look better or just different, etc...i find myself in a weird existential crisis mode when i'm not doing anything so i try to keep busy so the time will pass faster. other insecurites include staring at my bandaged chin and wondering if 4mm is too much (right now my face has a nice smooth U shape but Im still waiting to see after the bandages are removed) or if my double eyelids are too high but thats just me thinking too much again. Now i'm just in the hotel doing some work and hoping for the best for the next few days feel free to ask me any questions!! and good luck and God bless for all those who are doing their surgeries.

indo28 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 thank you but i was just being realistic. so far i got reply from JW clinic and Banobagi Clinic. JW Clinic charged me for Revision Rhinoplasty 6500 usd - 8500 usd but for Sliding Genioplasty 6500 usd and i think the prices are very high. as for Banobagi,they charged me Revision Rhinoplasty 6 mil krw but for Sliding Genioplasty 6,5 mil krw.and i think their prices are fair enough but im still not sure about JW's price because i only had online consultation with their Consultant so probably will be different if i have consultation with their surgeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
