mirabelle7 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think she meant clinic overcharging foreign patients hence the "discount" aren't really a discount I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let-me-out Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Which is precisely what I implied in my original post if daybyday22 read carefully. Some people here need to do more reading before they clutter the forums with nonsensical and redundant posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rinda10 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why plastic surgery clinics or hospital ask overcharge? WHF.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulbliss Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cause as foreigners its hard for us to really know how much they charge local koreans so many clinics take advantage of that to increase the prices hence lot a lot of forumers ask for prices to compare with each other. Another reason for overcharge is because clinics charge extra for having english consultants and services catered to foreigners. It's not fair but it happens all the time anyways.

koreasaurus Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Honestly, the "overcharge" isn't too much of a deal breaker considering that most surgeries are still significantly cheaper than if I were to get surgery done in the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinda10 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I need to learn Korean and have consultation with them as Korean > Than there is no reason they ask overcharge to us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let-me-out Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's not as simple as that. Koreans can quite easily tell if you are a native speaker or not by your accent. Even if you are a foreign-born Korean who is fluent, you are treated as an outsider. I'm afraid Korean culture and society is quite xenophobic, so the locals have no problem with treating foreigners differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odnok Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It pretty much goes like this. If you don't look and speak like them, you don't get the discount. Or that's what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirabelle7 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 365MC quoted me 4.4m krw for Lipo of the arm alone... Without including the miscellaneous fee (e.g. garment) of 280k krw. Is it too expensive? I'm actually borderline underweight, can I use that to haggle for a lower quote? For that price and all the airfares and accommodation I can actually get it down in my own country lol... And they have post treatment sessions which I won't be able to undergo as I plan to stay in Korea for only a maximum of 2 weeks, hence the price I'm quote aren't really justified... Right? Haha. Wonder if you guys have gotten any better quotes? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckddyd7109 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I totally agree with you. That's why I am planning to get consultation with my KOREAN friends!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugster Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I was quoted for 5.5 mil for revisional eyelid surgery with ptosis correction from Banobagi. Does everyone think this is reasonable or overpriced? What are the best doctors for revisional eye lid surgery (my previous non-incisional crease from a few years ago has sunk and is now a hidden inner fold..) Can't open my eyes wide enough without frowning with train tracks on my forehead...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
