Chungdam U Plastic Surgery & Skin

[okyoyo]

So Chipmunk, you didn't get any fat grafting at all?

Heres a more detailed review of what happened.

I was initially anticipating to visit Pitangui and Chungdam U. I came to Chungdam U, had a really personalized and patient consultation with Dr.Lee and the skin specialist. During the consultation, Dr.Lee agreed with all the things i wanted to fix which was osteotomy, tip plasty, paranasal augmentation, fixing my epicanthal folds, aegyosal filler, undereye dark circle fat graft and forehead fat graft (during the consultation he said that he would do the forehead fat graft later and I said OK, but he never told me he would remove it from the price which came to a surprise to me since i asked about my forehead fat graft and Dr.Lee sighed and said in korean "what is she talking about?" and they sat me down to tell me it was never included in the first place and that they have a 'chart' to prove that it wasnt included, i wasnt interested in seeing it because i remember i paid thinking that it was included so it kinda putt me off.) I couldnt afford the initial price and asked to remove the skin care but still had a hefty price left for my procedures, they called around ₩9,XXX,XXX. I said all I had was ₩8,000,000 and they said they could do it and went to talk to the head to see about that price. They came back to tell me that they could do ₩8,000,000 however I couldn't receive additional fillers if needed. They asked to see how much money I had and I was nervous and shy and out of stupidity pulled out my bank statement saying that i had in fact ₩8,600,000 and all of a sudden they were like ok price is ₩8,600,000, pay deposit and you can do surgery whenever you want. I picked tomorrow and I was too shy to point out that they agreed to ₩8,000,000 initially. However I paid my deposit and decided not to go to Pitangui because I felt as though Dr.Lee saw what i wanted fixed as if he was in my shoes and their prices were lower than Pitanguis, plus Pitangui didnt have a lot of B&A photos and Chungdam U actually has B&A photos from Ulzzangs they worked on. I decided to do surgery the next day.

On the day of my surgery I was about to pay and let the desk lady know that me and Dr.Lee agreed on ₩8,000,000 which was later changed to ₩8,600,000 upon seeing the money slip I pulled out. The desk lady replied with 'My doctor would never do something like that', I shrugged it off and off I went. I washed my face and was brought to the operating chair. They marked my face, had me read and sign an agreement that acknowledges risks and other stuff, laid me down, put a cozy blanket over me, stuffed doggie in my left hand and then injected me with needle that didnt seem to hurt at all. Next thing I know I'm flying and seeing colors and then all of a sudden I wake up and hear sewing on my eyes and nurses humming prettily to the kpop in the background. It was really relaxing and comfortable. then I winced a little and they immediately understood and gave me a numbing needle for my eye which was relieving. Then they sat me up and put an ice pack on my eyes for a few minutes. Then they said they were going to put me to sleep and I was asleep a minute later lol. Woke up in a recovery room feeling numb and dizzy and very very thirsty. They said I couldnt drink for an hour, but 30 mins later they let me have a sip of lukewarm water and then I was out the door. The first few hours I felt absolutely nothing, then later that night the pain kicked in and I felt a headache-like pain in the middle of my face, if that makes sense. I woke up every 30 mins to drink water cause I wasnt used to breathing through my mouth and my mouth got really dry. First couple of days remained so and I e-mailed Dr.Lee about it and he told me that he understands and that its a very uncomfortable and normal part of the procedure. I was swollen for about a week, eating pumpkin soup and drinking tons of water. My paranasal implants were placed through an incision in my nose, so there werent any stitches in my mouth which i am very glad for bc i couldnt imagine having my mouth really swollen. I realized we had a humidifier in the house and I began to use that, which made the dry mouth problem a heck of a lot better and I could finally sleep normally without waking up in the middle of the night.

By day 10 I had my nose cottons removed, when they removed them my nose started to bleed like crazy and i was quite embarrassed haha. They removed the stitches which hurt less than I expected, there was no pain, just itchiness haha. By day 14 I had my nose splint removed (its usually 7 days for people who dont get osteotomy and get something like implant instead) and was finally able to see my new nose. I was surprised they never cleaned my splint during those 14 days cause when they removed it I had these massive blackheads . Theyre all gone now though. Dr.Lee cleaned the splint and gave it to me to wear at night. My nose bridge was still a bit fat looking because of swelling and Dr.Lee said it would go away in a few months. I realized a few weeks after my eye swelling subsided completely that I wasnt satisfied with the correcting of my epicanthus and it was still uneven where one eye was longer than the other and Dr.Lee said I could surely do revision if I felt as though it was undercorrected and still a bit uneven. During that upcoming appointment, they said they had to wait a few months before they operated or else there would be a bigger chance of scarring and also they had to see how it healed.

Next, they told me that I was due for my aegyosal and undereye dark circle filler. WAIT? FILLER? I asked for fat graft for my undereye circles and Dr.Lee said that they actually wrote it down as filler because fat particles are less fine than fillers, fat is hard to remove and would cause sagging years later. I found it weird because many other clinics offered fat graft for undereye. So I took out the fillers and opted for skin lasers instead. I had ₩1,400,00 worth of fillers and my skin price was supposed to be ₩2,100,000. Although I made this forum post and even translated their website to attract foreign patients and help them out, they still expected me to pay ₩700,000 which made me super ticked off and i asked why they couldnt give me a discount for the skin. The reason they said was 'we already gave you discount for your surgeries, we cannot give you anymore discounts' WHAT? and then I made a post in this thread complaining and someone from here reported it to Dr.Lee and he asked me to change it or take it down lol. Before this, I felt like my paranasal area was also undercorrected and he recommended me fat dissolving injections for free, I denied because usually people add volume to cheeks instead of removing (which makes you look old). I emailed him about fat graft and he said okay and mentioned discussing price at my next visit. Then finally when I visited about my revision and he was really nice and asked me to remove the negative post and was offering free change of my paranasal implant to bigger, or fat graft or fat dissolving stuff and I said no. But a few days later I inquired about it again and asked for fat graft for paranasal without additional cost for all that ive done and stuff and he agreed! yay! Also i asked to watch my revision with a mirror to see if I would like more or less and he said i could do that too. So im really happy about that and really happy with this clinic now.

Its now 3 months post op and the swelling is down drastically and my nose is looking nicer and thinner week by week. I am really happy with the results and it doesnt look super fake or plastic. It looks like an upgraded version of my own nose with a pretty tip. The tip and bridge is just what I wanted. My epicanthal folds healed really nicely with absolutely no scarring and I am due for my revision this tuesday. Also visiting other plastic clinics along the way, I have to say that hands-down Chungdam U has the prettiest and most natural looking desk ladies. All the other clinics I went to, the ladies had scary looking eyes that looked like they couldnt close properly, fake super pointy upturned noses, obviously scary chipmunk-like fat graft and aegyosal fillers. Chungdam Us desk ladies really reflect their skill and how careful they do their work and not make everyone into a clone. Also how personalized they are and dont have that factoryesque vibe. I have to say that I am really thankful for this clinic overall and how much they shot up my confidence without makeup and contouring tricks. I am super happy with my face and I feel like it was really worth the money I saved up, i wouldve spent more at a more medical-tourism oriented clinic with ****ty skills, a football team amount of nooby plastic surgeons that they could switch off at any point and a super unpersonalized plastic looking face molded with a cookie cutter. I have no regrets at this point and I am excited for my revision.

Thank you Chungdam U and Dr. Lee again.

Hi, I am 10 days post-op and have met only one other person on this forum who has chose this clinic due to seeing various celebrities and famous ulzzangs going to this clinic for skin and plastic surgeries. If you've had any experiences with this clinic please feel free to share!

My experience

Consultation
I booked an appointment on Kakaotalk and forgot to give my name so when I arrived, there was some confusion regarding my appointment.... However it was the end of April on a weekday when most people are at school, they weren't really busy and so they took me in without an appointment. I sat in a cozy little room and talked to Dr.Lee (one of the head doctors who speaks English bc he studied at Utah State University). He never rushed me and even kept making sure I had no questions on my mind, he explained the procedures I asked about and gave me different options and approaches for what I wanted. I was nervous and was at a lack of questions haha. The price consultation sat beside us to take note of what I wanted. They showed me the prices for procedures if I paid in cash and if I paid with a credit card. I told them I would pay in cash and they quoted me around W10,000,000 for eyes, osteotomy, corrective rhinoplasty (not so much a 'hump' on the nose, but i wanted a curvier nose), tip plasty, fat graft for aegyosal, dark eye circles, forehead, paranasal augmentation (silicone). I asked them if I could do W8,000,000, they said they could and asked how much I have. I was pretty sure that was my budget. I made the mistake of counting my money infront of them, realizing I had W8,600,000 and they put the final price at W8,600,000. (All my money down the drain T_T) They said bc I lowered the price so low that they can't give me complimentary fat fillers if I needed more... SIGH all my money gone but I didn't complain bc I thought of all the people who paid much more for way less procedures. >< Anyway I was set to have surgery the next day.

Surgery Day
Didn't eat or drink since 12am the prior day, I was really hungry and thirsty... This day I was only going to do some of the procedures (eyes, nose, paranasal) bc fillers would be ruined by my bandages if I did them on the same day. I went there around 2pm the next day, the lady who looks like Shin Minah brought me to the sink to wash my face, then brought me to a room to change my clothes. Then a lady came in, tied my hair and took my pictures. I went to the surgery room where Dr.Yang (the head plastic surgeon) marked my eyes and Dr.Lee marked my nose. They put an IV in my right arm, a cute stuffed dog in the other and then I was flying to different planets with upbeat kpop music in the background... LOL. All of a sudden, I heard a voice telling me to open and close my eyes and I felt like my eyes were a ripped pair of jeans being stitched up. No pain though, just sound effects. I made a sound through my mouth and I guess they assumed I was in pain so they numbed my eye a little more. Finally they placed an ice pack over my eyes and then a few minutes later they were like "okay time to do your nose!" and after a minute I was out cold haha. I woke up in the bed with a numb face and was very thirsty. I found out I couldn't drink for 2 hours so I just went back to sleep until then. Had some water, and was on my way. No nausea, dizziness, whatever, I was just numb and happy I finally did it. I think the surgery took about 4 hours in total.

Day 1-3
First night I couldn't sleep at all. Wasn't used to breathing through my mouth and woke up every 30mins for water. Plus I had quite some pain and a headache in the middle of my face. Day 2 and 3 I took the medicine I got and minor pain in the middle of my face along with slight headache and I couldn't really do much or eat anything but liquid foods (which was still pretty difficult to eat)

Day 4-9
Pain significantly less and less, able to walk around and shop. Took walks every night, can start to chew food. Still wake up sometimes bc of dry mouth. Appointments at the clinic every few days for an IV vitamin thing, supposed to help me heal faster. One incident they put some kind of laser healing light on me and I got a severe allergic reaction from it.... They gave me a needle in my buttocks and it went down in an hour. Wasn't pleasant though.

Day 10
All stitches out. Nose cottons taken out. Stitch removal isn't as bad as I expected. Rest of bandages taken out except for nose splint (comes off on day 14) No pain except when apply pressure to the nose. Can finally breathe through my nose and eat anything I want. My nose feels free! I want to peek under the nose splint, it looks good so far Unfortunately I feel like my eyes are undercorrected (the change was more subtle than I would've liked), in my opinion (I guess not the doctors) therefore I'm going back on Thursday to re-do them. If you want a dramatic change to something, you must tell them or they'll automatically make it look pretty natural.

Well, most plastic surgery places do comission. I'm sorry you didn't like your experience. I wish I could be 'vip' since I have been bringing quite a bit of business, but I woulnd't know how to propose that to them and what I could possibly ask for.

It’s been 10 months since my procedures. DO NOT GO TO CHUNGDAM U.


Yes, they do excellent 10/10 jobs on Ulzzangs to promote themselves, but they did a half-assed job on me.


The first thing that happened when I got there, was that they brought me to the consultation room. We discussed what I wanted and we settled on ‘W8,000,000” as the total price, me being stupid I decided to take out my money to count. They saw that I had W8,600,000 and they say, ‘ok price is W8,600,000’ and I was too shy to speak up, so I ended up paying the extra W600,000 than what we agreed…. Ok whatever. When I come back to complain, they say ‘already a lot of discount, blah blah blah’. Also when I emailed them before I came to Korea, IN KOREAN, the total price I got back was

So I got my surgeries the next day, healed up and then I noticed my eyes looked exactly the same, except they one eye shorter than the other. I inquired and they said my eyes were uneven to begin with (classic P.S clinic trick ). Then I had to push and push, and write a 100% honest review on this forum (which they personally asked me to change into a 100% positive review) until they agreed onto a revision, so months later I get my revision and it heals and…….. Lol I have a permanent ‘wrinkle’ on my right eye due to their carelessness. So Dr.Lee gives me a free filler to try and fix the wrinkle, did not help at all, and gave me a free scar gel as a ‘going home present’ ok that helped the thick scars but not the wrinkle.

Also, during the consultation we agreed onto a fat graft, and after my surgeries I asked ‘when is my fat graft?’ and the receptionist says ‘what fat graft?’, and they call Dr.Lee out saying that I believe we booked a fat graft and I can CLEARLY hear him say in Korean to them (in a very rude manner by the way) "ugh WHAT is she talking about?!!!” and he comes to me to try and prove we never agreed onto a fat graft, and I am steaming mad at this point and I’m like, “You know what? Forget it." and I walked out.

They also tricked me into thinking I was getting fat graft for my dark eye hollows and they tell me later it’s for filler, which we didn’t agree on and would not let me refund the procedure so I end up using it to pay half of a skin laser treatment….

Also the moment I took my bandages off for my nose, I was expecting myself to smile, but I was so noticeably down that Dr.Lee and his nurse were trying to convince me how ‘pretty’ and ‘how much better’ it looked, but I was not fooled, because it looked EXACTLY THE SAME, AND NOT HOW I ASKED HIM TO DO IT. During the consultation I brought a lot of pictures and even a drawing of how my nose was, and how i want it to be. I asked for fat removal on my tip for my bulbous nose, and also on my picture it clearly showed how I wanted my nose tip to be pointier and also get rid of the hanging columella, and he looked at my picture and said ‘ok ok’ but only did ONE thing, which was put ear cartilage in my tip and it still looks bulbous even with ear cartilage. I complained before I left and he says everything will look better in a year.

Another thing, when I first got my nose bandages off, of course they removed the stitches right? so they did, and I went home and for a couple of days I got a lot of dried mucus inside my nose which wouldn’t come out, and if I pulled it out, they gave a little bit of pull and it would be painful. One time I ripped out one of these dried mucus to find out that I also clearly pulled out a blue stitch from the inside of my nose. I go back to get my stitches removed and they explain to me that a blue stitch came out because “it could’ve fell into my nose while they were removing it last time”, so 2nd time stitches removed and I go home. While I’m home, there is still dried mucus getting stuck to the inside of my nose for some reason, so I turn on a desk lamp, get a hand mirror and not-so surprisingly, there is a noticeably small blue stitch just sitting there knotted. So here I am frustrated already with Chungdam-U’s lack of care, I pull out my nail kit and use my own tweezers and those little scissors to cut out the stitch on my own. WOW.

So here I am 10 months later, with all the swelling gone. My nose does not look any better like he promised. There is a noticeable ‘bump’ on my nose bridge because when Dr.Lee took out some of the radix to add a curve to my nose, he took out a lego-block-like square chunk instead of making it smooth, causing bone to stick out where it stops and now I have a bump on my nose, great. There is a permanent wrinkle on my right eye after my 2nd revision. My paranasal implants, the right one is farther up than the other causing the right side of my face to still have deeper lines than the left. My nose looks pretty much the same as before except for a new added ‘bump’ on the bridge, my nose tip was not corrected the way I asked and only a bit of cartilage was placed into the tip. I wanted to remove some fat for my bulbous nose and fix the hanging columella but obviously that didn’t happen.


To sum it up, feels like every procedure was half-effort and I was set up like this so that I HAVE to get a revision. You get one free revision of course, which I used on my eyes (because I couldn’t tell that my nose also needed one at the time due to swelling), my eyes now have a wrinkle from the revision, my paranasal implants are noticeably uneven, my nose is not how I want it. Everytime I complain about something being wrong, they don’t act so friendly to me. I have already e-mailed Dr.Lee personally not once, but TWO TIMES, and he still hasn’t replied. Am I being deliberately ignored?



Now I’m debating whether I should go to another clinic to fix this mess because I am now SCARED that Chundam-U will mess up AGAIN. I know Chungdam-U will also try to charge me for these revisions, so why pay to potentially get messed up again? But also I am worried about how much money I would spend at another clinic on revisions.

Also a family member called to inquire about their nose and that family members says on the phone to Dr.Lee "Hi was wondering if you could do like you did with (insert my name here)" and Dr.Lee admits "(Insert my name here)'s nose could've been done better."

 

[plasticsecret]

Hi Chipmunk, thanks for sharing this. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get the results you wanted I hope you find a better clinic for your revision!
I actually contacted Chungdam U after reading your first post. Dr. Lee sounded really nice and patient in his emails and I was really leaning towards his clinic. His quotes are not bad too and he was the only one that didn't suggest a V line/bone shaving. Now I'm really having second thoughts! Anyway, please keep us updated and I hope he answers you soon! I think he said he was away on a conference a month ago but he's been replying my emails regularly for the past few weeks since he's been back.

I had a consultation with Dr Lee in Oc 2013. Eventhough, my main concern is my septum deviated, he didn't check into mynose. That is the reason I didn't go with him

Yeah I hope so too.
Hmmm, he has not replied to any of emails as of yet. I'm pretty pissed off.

Thanks

Even with the dissovable stitches, it you don't take them out in that set time, it causes infection and bad bad bad smell
