Hello everyone.

I am here to post a review about Pitangui. I have done my double eyelid surgery, lateral canthoplasty and slanted eye corner correction with them in early november 2014 and IT WAS THE WORST DECISION I EVER MADE.

please do not go to this clinic as Dr Yoo had totally destroyed my eye. my non incisonal eyelid turned out asymmetrical, one eye super swollen. my lateral corners were the worst. one side developed hypertrophic scar and the other side it wasn't sewn properly. and Dr Yoo cut my lateral corners too much that it is exposing too much of mucosal. I have to book another appointment with another doctor in Korea to do lateral reversal.

I totally regret to go Pitangui and entrusted my eyes to them.
Dr Yoo is really an evil person and ignored your enquiries after the operation.
DONT BE VICTIMISED BY THEM.
TRUST ME.

you can email me at [email protected] for more pics.

I am an Asian Girl originally from North East Asia, andmoved to North America when I was really young.
Due to Asian media especially, where all the girls are nowsporting extra-large looking eyes and wearing enlarged pupil lens and eachlooking like Bratz dolls------------> I get to admit, I really want to gounder the knife as well to get these huge looking eyes, to improve my look evenmore (the stupid thing is that, I already know I was pretty, but I want tobecome even more sparkly----------- so my greed get the best of me) .
So I went to Corea: And I had a really terrible experienceat Pitangui Medical & Beauty in Seoul, Korea. ----------------->This ismy first experience of going under the knife and it turn out to be a nightmare.
I went to Korea just for epicanthoplasty and lateralcanthoplasty on my eyes and the results was a disaster. I have to fly back toKorea six months later to get fix my eyes back to the way it was before at anotherclinic for an epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty reversal. There is alarge hole on each of my outer corner of my two eyes, and large scars on theinner corners!!! Not only did I not getthe results I wanted for my eyes, my eyes were ruined (I don’t want to be a superficialabout my physical appearance, but I am definitely way prettier before mysurgery-----------> thus I became really depressed, because not only did myphysical appearance not improve, I now sport two giant holes on my outer cornereyelids. I also have to work in labs with chemicals, so I have to endure for along time where my eyes are so sore and it hurts!!!)!!!
Not only did the main doctor from Pitangui denied that therewas any problem, he told me it was completely nature to have a hole at each ofthe outer corner of my eyes!!! Completely BS!!! First time I visited him, ok hedoes not speak English, I am ok with that because there was a translator. Thesecond I visited him for post-surgery complication, he becomes really unfriendly,rude and not happy in his tone of voice when speaking in Korean, just because Ihad some question about my eye results (my sister and I waited for him for30mins and he only saw us for 2mins max to discuss about the problem, he saidwe have to go after two mins because he have meeting to go too, wtf????). Basically,he completely dismissed us and told us that there is nothing to worry about.
So I went to another clinic for the Reversal Procedure tofix the problem!!!!
Do not go to Pitangui, there service at first is ok and theymight look professional, but if there is a problem they will not help you andwill dismiss you entirely.
I am posting this because I don’t want others to go throughthe same experience as I went through…
Note: I have also learned my lesson after this painfulexperience----> is to never become greedy about anything and your looks is definitelynot the most important!!! Your health and well-being is the most important!
Thx for listening to my rant!
to #693 (Pinkyshopper)----------> same situation for my eyes too. Dr. Yoo was really irresponsible. Also where did you get your lateral reversal done?

Hey Vanilla Creme!
Who did you end up going to have your nose re-done and were you satisfied with the second time around?
I was emailing with Pit- and then started researching on TPF to get a better idea and now I'm all scared!!!

It also annoyed me because they didn't even say Dr. Yoo would perform the surgery, they said,"We have 1 medical director Dr. Yoo who has 30 years of experiences in plastic surgery and 4 specialists with at least 10 years of experiences in plastic surgeries. Depending on patient's interested field of plastic surgery, we will assign the specialist accordingly."

I implore you to go back and read at least the last 10-20 posts on this thread. They are botching people at Pitangui left and right.

Just did my incisional DES with pitangui recently, by now 2 weeks post op. Everything seems good so far.

Like many who commented before, they do have the standard after op dressings but I didn't meet with the doctor Dr Yoo after my op, and they also don't give some of the extra things like pumpkin juice, antiseptic ointment (I did asked for this but the lady said there's no need for it). I ended up trying to look for pumpkin juice at the lotte marts and failing to lol, settled for pumpkin porridge and other fruit juices instead.

All in all it's reasonably priced, and rather no-frills.

3rd floor is for consultation & dressings while 4th is for dressing & surgery room / resting area. I actually overheard e lady telling another person that the doc told her that she is okay to leave now to further rest at home.

Ah. I see.. Anyway I also had nothing to worry about as I was healing quite normally. All in all I had 3 dressings change with them so I think I was well taken care of.

Hi,

I had my cheekbone reduction and chin implant done with them. Still can't comment much about the chin surgery. But their cheekbone is horrible.

The shaving of both cheekbones were uneven and the right side has a serious indent. The frontal was reduce too but it creates a more tired look especially in the dark as the shadows cast on the face makes it seems like the emoticon haggard look.

It has been a year after the surgery so I suppose all is stable by now and that there should not be anymore drastic changes

the communication suddenly goes bad when i asked something a bit more specific.
they used to reply quickly if i asked simple questions and booking consultation dates.
but when i emailed them asking if the doctor can use ear tissue for rhinoplasty, they never reply.
resent several emails still never reply.
fine, they're not the only clinic.

the price they gave me was cheap though
