taraunnie Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I got my quote from JW Beauty Clinic today ~ The consultant recommended V Line, Zygoma reduction and Genioplasty, but did not quote them individually only the combined price. All together the cost quoted was - 14,000 to 16,000 USD. Which is a heck of a lot cheaper than Banobagi for the same procedures and all over quite a reasonable price. She did say however, the price might change after in person consultation which I hope doesn't mean they are one of those clinics that quote you a good price online and double it when you get there :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noitsyou Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I dunno, page 2 of this thread says 10 mil for vline and zygoma... I think it's for each, otherwise it is too good to be true. Apparently, plastic surgery clinics in Korea get taxed on foreign income and have to pass stricter requirements to serve foreigners. Which I can kind of believe since the Ministry of Health seems quite strict (they only granted Korean clinics permission to operate on foreign patients 5 years ago). However in my opinion, most of the extra cost are just clinics taking advantage of the fact that plastic surgery in the west costs way more and if we can afford to travel to Seoul for surgery, we can afford to pay a bit extra. In my opinion, it's just psychological pricing. If you're paying so much money, you won't really notice the extra numbers on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taraunnie Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I thought that too, 10m altogether! That'd be like 1/2 or 3/4 of the prices of most other clinics, it does seem a bit too good to be true. But Oz Clinic charges that much altogether for those procedures (according to the prices on their website) so it is hard to know? It makes you wonder though how much the procedures are for locals in clinics that try to rip you off. Oh, I didn't know that the clinics got taxed on foreign income and that they only started letting Korean clinics operate on foreigner s five years ago, I saw a statistics chart and. I wondered why it only started at 2009, now I know, thank you~ These reasons partly make me understand why foreigners are charged more but I don't think it should be that dramatically different from locals that people reckon it is, because I can't see that as justifiable and I agree with you about clinics taking advantage of us in that aspect, I think a lot of clinics also think that we are quite wealthy because we can travel there for procedures. Ahhhhhhh, psychological pricing..The one I hate the most that's commonly used is ($amount of dollars$).99¢ it does not trick most people, it's really obvious that it's just the next rounded number amount of dollars!

bagdesperate Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 All quotes are for primary rhino. Wonjin: Rhinoplasty + weir and nose extention >> 5.7m to 7.4m krw Pitangui: Reductive rhinoplasty + nose bridge augmentation with silicon + tiplasty using ear cartilage + bulbous nose tip correction + alar base reduction >> 5m to 5.5m krw JW: Rhinoplasty with silicon and septal cartilage + alar base reduction + osteotomy to reduce wide nose bridge >> USD5-6k The Line: Barbie nose + alarplasty >> 5.25m krw I suspect my quotes are on the high side because of the amount of work that has to be done. My nose is wide, bulbous with a low nose bridge. JW has been my top choice all along because I really like what I see in their before & after photos. However, they were the only one that quoted me in USD and it sounds quite pricey. Is this normal for JW and has anyone been successful at negotiating with them?

starrynights127 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 5.25m is quite high from the line =/. The quote they gave me is 3.3 for Barbie nose, that's without alar reduction, which I don't think is much more than a million extra. That said, there's also a photo on their FB that advertised only 2500 USD for rhinoplasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yeah oz is very likely to be 10 million for both. There's a reason why the prices are cheap at that clinic. It becomes very obvious when you visit the clinic in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taraunnie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 How do you mean? (I tried looking back through your posts and other threads but I couldn't find anything of what you are talking about). Do you mean aesthetically or professionally? I have heard about some bad eye experiences there, but apart from that I don't know much else about it, except it's surprisingly cheap haha! I remember reading a post you made a while ago about paying more for more experienced surgeons, I agree with you, it's basically a case of you get what you pay for and is this what you are referring to with Oz Clinic??

vanitygirl09 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 She means you can tell when you visit the clinics itself. That's the best way to judge. You will see if a clinic is just well priced and good value and offers great service and the difference between that and a clinic that is cheap for a variety of reasons that turn potential clients off even for the cheap price For more info, maybe you can refer to her consultation experience at oz that she's posted a while back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I mean professionally. And certainly aesthetically too. The aesthetic of a clinic, by that I mean how much they invested in the aesthetics and not so much the stylistic taste itself, is one indication of how profitable a clinic is, which also implies a steady inflow of clientell. I was actually rather certain, before I first went to seoul to consult with different clinics, that I would end up doing my procedures at Oz. For one reason and one reason only. Unlike other clinics with more developed infrastructure, Dr Park from Oz is the one who responses to the e-mails. You will find other clinics would leave that up to the consultants or client managers to handle. Because you now have the operating surgeon responding to your e-mails, you do get very detailed responses compared to those you would obtain from consultants, as at the end of the day, consultants and client managers are not surgically trained and are therefore lay people. Anyways the reason why I didn't end up going to oz is due to ethical reasons, which i explained here in a thread i wrote last year. Just ctrl find Oz to skip the rest.# Oz is pretty much a one man show and especially if you are looking to get multiple procedures done it is a better option to seek out mid sized clinics with different specialists for different procedures, rather than look for a jack of all trades. That way you know your surgeon is constantly honing their skills on their specialty. The problem with the really large clinics, and i mean the ones with like 15-30 surgeons is that most of them are young and inexperienced and are being cultivated by the hospital to increase their volume of clients. Which means you put yourself at risk to not knowing who you might get. I'm not refering to doctor swapping specifically but rather a lot of patients would be unaware of the experience level of the surgeons they may be assigned to. So if for whatever reason one chooses to have the operation at a large clinic, make sure you are getting the senior surgeons and the senior surgeons only.
