lola-monet Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi Lpl, I will be heading yo Seoul right after you in March for rhinoand fat grating. One of the clinics I'll be visiting is also JW. I don't have much advise to give, but would you mind sharing your's? Hope all is going well if you're in Korea now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celinexx Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 A lot of good advice here. I also have a preference for smaller clinics with just one or a few doctors rather than the big establishments with dozens of doctors. Does anyone have a price quote for a procedure called "under ear jaw reduction" (a.k.a. minimal incision jaw reduction)? Also, can anyone tell me about some doctors/clinics that can speak some English, or have an English interpreter? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotone510 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Unique has an English speaking consultant and their doctor speaks English too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlalala Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Dream: quoted 3.1mil for rhino (reduction of hump nose and to fix the tip) over Kakaotalk This seems really reasonable to me since osteotomy usually costs more but I hope they don't up it when I consult in person...I also didn't request a surgeon at this point (plan on requesting Dr. Park)...

gantz Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks for the prices! Do you plan on visiting Lienjang? Have you seen any reviews on them or know someone who got surgeries there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemdrop Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 My Korean friend researched it and their specialty is in fat grafting ^^" dont know too much else about it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola-monet Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Huh, so we're going for the same exact thing. I had to push my trip back to March as Dr. Suh (specializes in rhino at JW ) wasn't available in Feb. and it seemed to be a little too close to plan for other clinics too. I only just started contacting them 2 weeks ago. From the online consultations I really like JW. Would you mind sharing what they quoted you?Also, would you mind sharing other clinics that are on your list? I've also messaged Regen, Cinderella, Banobagi, DARPS (no reply), and the Line. Thanks!

itshelloeltiy Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 @veanine I don't know. The price of procedures has fallen, but you need WAY more information than that to be able to actually say that "hospitals are losing more money the more foreign patient they take on," (the quote from the source of the article) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiaxo Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 A quote I got via email from JW. Quite disappointed in the prices when I convert to KRW. Pretty sure DES costs approx the same here in Canada. "double eyelid incision method will cost roughly $2,000~$2,200 Epicanthoplasty will cost roughly $1,100~$1,200 Lateral canthoplasty will cost roughly $1,300~$1,500 -Rhinoplasty (I mentioned I was particularly interested in tip plasty + bridge) Rhinoplasty will cost roughly $4,700~$6,000 USD if you use by rib cartilage it will cost roughly $8,000~$10,000 USD -acculift for cheek fat It will cost roughly $2,000~$2,200 USD per parts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monixtuma Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Same as me. I was quoted for cheekbone reduction 6800-7800 USD by JW Clinic's consultant. But for the previous consultation, the consultant was quoted Rhinoplasty for 5,500,000 KRW. I think it's better to paid in KRW rather USD. There is some clinics who are give me estimated prices for example 11.000.000 KRW (11.000 USD) for Breast augmentation at ID Hospital. You gonna be kidding me. How could be that high ? It's started point, so could be higher. -_-")> What's the poin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiaxo Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 That price is absolutely hilarious! And their service/reputation is not even that good to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdhr Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Also, please WATCH OUT for SUPER PUSHY English/Chinese language coordinators. You don't need to place a deposit to "book the surgeon" in advance. That seems quite aggressive marketing sales tactics. My US$400 deposit was confiscated because i decided not to go ahead with my surgery at this "somewhat of a brand-name" hospital. I finally decided to go to a smaller clinic that didn't market to foreigners on recommendation from a Korean friend who works as a producer in the media industry here in Seoul. I changed my mind as I felt i was being forced to have surgery too quickly immediately after consultation. Ridiculous and embarrassing that a seemingly successful hospital has to resort to such uncouth tactics to make a couple of dollars in sales at the end of a day.

itshelloeltiy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 @turnerdhr I disagree. I think it is standard for any medical procedure, regardless of whether it is plastic surgery, to have deposits. My dad had to pay a deposit for his torn tendon surgery in a hospital. I had to pay a deposit for my braces. Since it's not out of necessity, people going through elective plastic surgery are probably even more likely to experience second thoughts and change their mind at the last moment. It would be a huge waste of money for the clinic to have the operating room, nurses and doctors all set up there and for a patient to change their mind and not go. That is the whole point of a deposit. You pay the deposit and they know that since you've already partly paid for the procedure, there is a greater chance of you coming. Also what do you mean your 400USD deposit was confiscated because you decided not to go ahead? That is the whole point of deposits!! Don't put down a deposit with a clinic if you weren't 100% sure you were going to go with them! You gave them your money, and they kept it since THAT IS THEIR JOB. Deposits are NOT 'marketing sales tactics'. They're the logistics of getting surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
