thambar Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yes, that's quoted to me by my agent. I'm pretty sure I will get a better price if I visit ID directly. My appointment is fixed in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanharr Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 i was quoted around 8.5-9mil won for the 3 areas i want lipo on by a LOT of clinics. since the quoted prices are crazy-inflated when asking by email, is there a good, general price point for lipo procedures that i should use during my consultation? haggling is really rare where i'm from so i'm afraid of both extremes: getting ripped off or demanding a price that's disrespectfully low.

mindy3132 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 HJ88, OMG thanks so much for letting me know about BabiTalk!!! Turns out that their website can be translated to english through Google Translate and the prices I've found for breast augmentation events blew my mind. I got a quote from Dr. Jinseok Park for 6.5-7.9M KRW and thought that was pretty good. I got a quote from Dream for 9-11M KRW and I thought it was very expensive. In the US, BA can cost as low as 6,000 because it's so common. I've copied and pasted the search results I've found. Even if I do not go to these clinics listed, I think it will be helpful to show them the prices on the app during the consultations at the clinics I have appointments with to increase my negotiation power.

princessbex Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi Mindy3132, check with you how did you manage to translate babitalk to english ? As the words cannot be copied off the app. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenhoony Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Woah, do the events listed on babitalk hold true to foreigners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy3132 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I just went to their website babitalk.com, after translating the main page I see that the little "gift box" icon stands for events, and it lists all of the events available. I was able to use google translate for that page as well. The little building icon with an H on it is a list of plastic surgery clinics, you can translate that page as well and its a very comprehensive list in my opinion! I haven't even heard about 50% of these places, so I assume they cater to the locals more and may not have English translators. I've also downloaded the app as well to read the reviews. The icons are the same, I go to the little building icon with an H and I am able to see the reviews posted on the clinics. I can't read Korean but I do like being able to view the before/after pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy3132 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I am not sure if we will be able to get the event prices. I do have an appointment for Ruby Clinic for BA scheduled already from my previous research since they do a relatively new technique of placing the implants under the fascia (thick tissue that covers your muscles underneath your skin) instead of underneath the muscle which I would like to avoid since I am very athletic. I feel like if I can show them their own advertisements during my consultation with the prices that they charge for locals, they will have a very hard time justifying why I should personally pay 3 times as much for the same surgery. I also believe that it shows you have knowledge of the local market prices and they won't be able to gouge you. Knowledge is power here! They know that there are literally hundreds of clinics in Seoul and competition is very stiff. It has been slow recently due to the MERS scare. The economy in China has taken hit recently so I anticipate medical tourism from China will be slowing down as well. So bargain, bargain, bargain!

kenhoony Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Oh, please keep me updated on how the bargaining goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hj88 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Oh no problem Good job with the Google translating too! Armed with this kind of information I would be shocked if the clinics continue to try and overcharge you so badly even if you don't speak a word of Korean.. Which has been my point all along - knowledge is power with bargaining. Plus, the more you know the less you feel like a fool asking for a reasonable price (!!)

hanharr Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 thank you for this! your comments about how to translate the events page helped me figure out i was having a browser issue with babitalk rather than a translating issue. none of the events would load in safari! switched to chrome and found a ton of information for the procedures i'm looking into, including event prices for some of the actual clinics i'm going to have consultations with.

tacticalblankie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 No blood test or x-ray? O.o ummmm. . .that sounds weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy3132 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hi TacticalBlankie - what do you mean by that? Usually all pre-op procedures related to your surgeries (X-rays, blood work, CT Scan, etc.) and post op care (pain medication, check ups, etc.) are included in the quotes. For more details, check with the respective clinics on what they offer. Some have post op recovery rooms that you can stay in for free or for a charge as well.

tacticalblankie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Oh hi, sorry I read that half asleep and misunderstood. I thought that they're not doing those at all XD My bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacticalblankie Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Just a thought, but regardless of ones knowledge of local prices (which would be awesome to get) etc... I'm kind of vary of bargaining too much because the surgeon then might be less inclined to do a good job... or at least that's my fear :/ What do you guys think?

mindy3132 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I feel like it may be insulting to ask them to perform surgery for a discount on what they normally charge, but it is fine to ask them to NOT charge us 3x more than what they normally charge for the same surgery. Paying for translators and arranging transportation does not justify such a big price increase. The most they can do is say no and let you move on to the next clinic. I haven't noticed a correlation between people who had surgeries with discounts and botched jobs here at least... And it seems like a lot of ladies (and gents!) here bargained when they finally settle on a clinic they like. Regardless of price of surgery,it seems like reputation is also very important to the established surgeons. As I've been on this board for years now researching and there has been incidents where the clinic will panic and reach out to posters for posting a bad review on their clinic/surgeon. I can almost picture Brian having a heart attack and going into crisis mode if Dr. Kim from April 31 had a bad review here so I don't believe that established surgeons will do anything but their best. But in life nothing is guaranteed. That's why personally I would always go and see the clinic and meet with the surgeon myself before I decide. But this thread is only supposed to be for clinic prices so let's stay on topic, if you want to chat you can always PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
