riel Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hmm ya I never really thought about that...I wonder if it would possibly be less than Korean for certain procedures since it doesn't seem as commission based? (in Korea there is such a range for the same procedure by the same clinic just depending on what the consultant offers different clients). Living costs are a lot more expensive in Tokyo versus Seoul but I don't think that should be a main factor in determining where to go for surgery...most patients are only there for a couple days anyways.

tyler_durden Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 hmmm, a couple of days? ... probably more, then again depends on the surgery. Personally I haven't compared. The eyelid surgeries are a lot more expensive in Japan, from what I see. Again I was looking at the best plastic and reconstructive surgeon possible... If you read Chinese, I can send you links that discuss good surgeons. If not, I can point you where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitsjunkie Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I am debating between either going to japan or korea for my ps - do you have any suggestions on which one is a better choice? I honestly more leaning toward japan because i read so many unethical korean ps in here, its scary.. There are only a few japanese ps english website - do you have any personal experience with japanese ps you can share with us? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabisabi888 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hey Everyone, I had rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery stitch method at verite clinic over 3 years ago with Dr Fukuta as my surgeon. I'm quite satisfied with the results and emailed the clinic asking for quotes for epicanthoplasty, lateral canthoplasty and buccal fat removal procedures: -Upper blepharoplasty stitch maybe 4 sutures. JPY150000+TAX -Epicanthoplasty JPY312500+TAX -Lateral canthoplasty JPY312500+TAX -Buccal fat removal in the cheeks.JPY375000+TAX[FONT="](Including nominating Dr. Fukuta fee)[/FONT] -[FONT="]general anesthesia JPY50000~100000+TAX(depend on operation)[/FONT] It's a 25% surcharge to have Dr Fukuta as your surgeon... so damn expensive. My experience with Dr Fukuta was good and I wouldn't think twice about going to a different surgeon if his prices were lower. When i asked Dr Fukuta if Verite Clinic offered special discounts for having multiple procedures or if i was to bring a friend who wanted cosmetic surgery he replied with, 'we do not provide our clients with discount because I do not lower my motivation.'So... has anyone here had an above satisfactory experience with a japanese or taiwanese cosmetic surgeon? Wish clinic in Taipei is my second choice for the above procedures if I can't afford to see Dr Fukuta. But I would prefer to go to a japanese surgeon as i feel their techiniques are more modern, advanced and they have high safety standards.

runawaypancake Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Is this Dr Fukuta the same doc that was rumour to have operated on HK star angelababy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasian Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am glad the prices are more transparent but at the same time they seem to be quite pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karina01 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with verite clinic. I am curious what type of rhinoplasty u had there and how much did it cost?? Was wondering if u would care to share more details?? Myself and a Chinese friend are interested in going to Japan for rhinoplasty and eyes; looking for more information on good surgeons. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabisabi888 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi karina My nose job was approx 12000 yen (3000 for glabella, 3000 goretex implant, 6000 ear cartilage tip) excluding tax, anaesthesia and consultation fee. Forgot if there was a surcharge to have Dr fukuta as my surgeon at time. Just google verite clinic, all their prices are on their website. Really difficult for me to find a reputable jp surgeon since I can't read Chinese or Japanese. Honestly I'm sure there are many skilled plastic surgeons who would only charge a third of what I paid for rhinoplasty in jp. But if you have the money and prefer the look of jp celebrities/models than go to jp. Can't afford to go back to jp so I'm going to see Dr kao in Taipei for revision eyelid surgery and buccal fat removal in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karina01 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks so much for your reply! Much appreciated. Do u mean 1200000 yen? That would be really expensive! I have heard a friend of a friend who had a nose job done with Dr otake of St Luke international hospital for 300000 yen. Hope this helps. I am hesitating about going there because I googled it and it's a teaching hospital. Can I ask why u chose goretex? I thought a lot of surgeons no longer use goretex due to the difficulty in the removal. Do u have good effects with the goretex? Does it give you a sharp nose? Also, can I ask why you're going back for eyelid revision? Are u happy with the primary surgery? Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wabisabi888 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ya meant 1200000 yen lol. Um looking back at it now I don't think I did as much research as I should have, I had the operation about 4.5 yrs ago. I had my.procedure straight after consult and during consult he recommended goretex over silicone, I didn't ask about rib cartilage, he might have mentioned it along with the price but I can't remember. Yes goretex does give a sharper look. I got my eyelids done over 7 yrs ago in shanghai, lids were uneven cuz surgeon did crappy job. Dr fukuta made my lids more even via stitch method. Getting revision in tw cuz I want higher folds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
