bieu Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 i can't say anything good about them now. i'll let you know. about the eyes, i've heard a lot of good things about dr Chung in Item. i didn't have my eyes done. but i did a lot of research and i accidentally read good things about dr Chung. hope this may help. i just woke up from a 7 hours sleep, though it would be swollen a lot. but surprisingly ,it didn't
susaki Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Please do update us!!!! Thanks, i did heard about Dr Chung, i wish i could go korea now and have a look at the patient to see whether item can make the eyes and nose i want
dreamii Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Hi bieu, How are you doing? How are feeling after surgery?

chrisinkorea88 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I`m going to consult with Item and Wannabe when I hit Seoul!! I can`t wait!! I heard good things about these two clinics!!
marilynwonders Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 You're right. I checked out their (Item) website and they sure look impressive.
miialove Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Item is very popular now.. i was there in aug... will go in oct again
wishingstar Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I consulted with them last month but decided not to go with them because: 1. Only one style of nose as far as I could tell from the pics, and I didn't personally like the aesthetic 2. Obvious alarplasty scars on the consultants 3. Dr Kim was not that friendly in my opinion...in the end, I just didn't feel comfortable working with him 4. Over inflated prices
wishingstar Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I noticed lots of Chinese speakers and no Koreans while there....I wonder if they are only popular with foreigners due to promotion or also with locals?
chrisinkorea88 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 definitely! Ya I had like 6 clinics I wanted to check out..luckily I had a friend who hooked me up with a friend of theirs that's a local and did procedures from different places. I gave her the list and she said Item and Wannabe are reputable and popular(for what I want done). The other clinics I picked where too big and not recommended. Item has English speaking doctors which is nice. I've been Kakao talking with a translator from Wannabe and shes from my hometown area so its pretty cool to have someone close to home. But ya I think you've made pretty good choices with the clinics...but ill let you know once I'm there and get a real good feel when I do my face to face!!
taraunnie Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I don't know about Izien and Wannabe (sorry ;-; ) but I have heard (from information collected from social media websites like naver and weibo as well as forums, they had information collected and put into a chart, it's on this forum somewhere but I can't find it Also people have reviewed them on here as well for consults mostly but some surgeries) that: DAPS, Banobagi and EverM~ are good for facial contouring and other jaw surgeries. Pitangui~ can be a bit hit and miss! the doctor is quite rude and arrogant apparently. Read the Pitangui thread also, one or two forumers on here had a terrible experience there. SMPS~ I don't know much personally because no one I have heard of has been to there yet, only thinking. They have, however, been the centre of a number of deceitful posts though, with a couple of their staff posing as people who have had surgery there and were promoting the clinic and their results. (Be really careful~) Wannabe is new to me but I think it looks good, I have been watching the videos on their YouTube channel cause they are really informative. Btw what surgeries were you thinking if getting? Hope you have a nice day~
chrisinkorea88 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Hi I'm sorry there are so many clinics in Seoul. She didnt mention too much or talk down other clinics. Turns out she is a consultant for many clinics. She was a friend helping me out and she consulted me at her clinic which I didn't end up choosing because the didn't have an English translator but I told her her I was visiting Item and wannabe. She said wannabe is good for eyes and nose. And item didn't really have a good nose specialist. She gave me the prices of her clinic and she said that these are the prices you should receive more or less so I used it as guideline. I check out item after. There was a translator and 3 other girls standing in the office during my consult. I saw two doctors one for eyes and nose. And they were in and out. As for prices, it was almost 50% more than what my friend quoted me. So I felt that they were trying to rip me off which I didn't like personally. They also tried to suggest more surgeries, but honestly I think the translator was trying to make a fat cut and even when she tried to lower the price, it was still way overthe General prices I was given. I ended up going to wannabe ps. In my experience they were really detailed during consultant. They told me why and how doing this surgery would benifit me. The doctors I saw were really nice and they took their time. Also for me they did a ct scan before i saw the docs, which really helped during the consultant. When it came down to pricing, it was on point and better which I couldn't complain. There's a thread on wannabe, Im not sure what surgeries you have In mind but someone posted that they are having a promotion on some procedures. I can't read korean or Chinese but check it out!!!
eiimiho Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks for your input, TaRaUnnie & chrisinkorea88! Yah I've been browsing the other threads too and that was how I was able to narrow down on my shortlist. I'm looking to get mandible reduction surgery (no V-line). It's really hard to pick a clinic based on just email consultations
