blobvy Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Does anyone have any updates on their surgeries with Banobagi??? Banobagi seems to have very mixed reviews but they seem very popular among locals? Does anyone have experience with this clinic? Even if you just had consultation with them or have heard of anyone who had surgery there? Thank you
enhui9595 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hi dear, Would you mind sharing the photo with me? As I will be going to banobagi for an non incisional eyelid surgery in a month's time, I don't want to regret my decision. I will message you on kakao talk shortly
gunslinger81 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I can only share my experience with their consultant via email but for what it's worth here it is. They responded to my email with a list of recommended surgeries and prices. This was very early days for me and all I had sent them were some photos and general ideas, but I really had no clue what surgeries I wanted at the time. They asked for a picture of my teeth to see if I have an overbite (I do, but it's less than 5mm from memory), to which they advised that I needed two-jaw surgery and if I didn't do it, as I got older it would be hard to eat. A tad dramatic imo. After doing further research I shortlisted some (less invasive) surgeries and sent them another email asking for information, to which I have never received a reply. I haven't bothered to follow up, as you said yourself there are a lot of mixed reviews.
runningmanjihyo Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Hello there! So I was contacting someone from Banobagi and they asked me to paypal $1000 USD as a deposit and I wanted to make sure that this is part of the procedure and I'm not being scammed. Please reply asap! I would really appreciate it Thanks!
valenrina Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I replied you on my thread. Check it out. Good luck.
rebzzz Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 The last time i did a deposit is via transfer to Banobagi bank account! Maybe you should try ask them whether they have other alternatives like bank transfer! Good luck!!
valenrina Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Yep, can look for my thread or my blog. Did rhinoplasty 3 months ago, and my reviews are updated. Overall I think ok, but not perfect. Then again, I don't want to get all obsessed about it and do multiple surgeries on my nose.
kkttyy Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Hi can I also message you on kakao ? I'm curios to know what you were not happy with I'm looking to do des and rhino and maybe a couple other procedures Thank you so much!
amekay Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Hi everyone! I copied and pasted my entry from another thread here. Wanna roughly get some inputs on this. I read quite a bit of positive reviews for DocFinder (DF) so emailed them 2 weeks ago. Just got a reply from them this morning. The reply did take a lil long but the lady claimed that the email "bounced" back to her so... Anyway I got prices quoted for 4 clinics. The clinics are not named in the email, only "Clinic A, B, C, D" with prices quoted. Roughly know which clinic is Banobagi (from prices quoted and read that someone made the same choice and got Banobagi too) so I think I will go with that, especially after reading up a few good reviews (despite one or 2 negative ones but I think the number of positive reviews > negative ones!) Also, the person who has been contacting/emailing me from DF is not Shin, as much as he is being mentioned almost every time for DF, but a lady. Wanna ask if the person that has been contacting me so far will be the one that will be with me for my trip? Shin sounds like he's trusted by quite a few people here! I am not going to go for the huge ops, just looking for non-incision eyelids (maybe with ptosis correction and/or epi-canthoplasty) and fillers (for nose and/or chin and smile lines). Apparently doctors recommended rhinoplasty for my nose instead of fillers but I don't think I wanna make that decision for now... All the 4 clinics/doctors also recommended accusculpt to "remove fat on face". Quoting the email, " It is to melt your fat tissues on face by using of laser and to take out those melted fat tissue. It is also effective for skin lifting". I did not ask for this procedure initially but it is what was recommended. Anybody done this procedure before? Just thinking, if I happen to gain weight again, then the procedure will be quite useless, right...? Hahahahaha! Was quoted 2.75m KRW to 3.3m KRW. x not allowed
matchalatte Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Hi i'm going for non-incisional around same time as you also. do you mind PMing your kakao?
missj93 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Hi Amekay - I think we talked on another thread hello again~ To answer your question, I am also in contact w Jennifer from DF but she told me shin will be escorting me around seoul. Here is the direct quote: "Your manager on the road upon arrival in Korea will be Mr. Shin Park. He will send you a whatsapp message before your departure to confirm your schedule once more."
missj93 Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 In my opinion, Banobagi seems more popular with foreigners? I read in a lot of reviews that they had a lot of chinese patients in their waiting room & it seems like they have a lot of sponsored bloggers do surgery there which means they are making efforts to market to international patients.
airplanemode Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I just read good reviews about Banobagi. Should I do my V-Line + Nose surgery there? ID Hospital was recommended too but they have so many bad reviews...
hapagirl_99 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 I am planning on going to Korea this summer for rhinoplasty and facial contouring. My surgery was suppose to be June 24th at Banobagi, but now I'm having second thoughts because I'm unsure what clinic to go to. I'm also under 18, so my mother has to contact the clinics, but she does not speak Korean. The process has been very stressful so far. Does anyone have recommendations on clinic for v-line/facial contouring and rhinoplasty? This is also my first time on the purseforum, so please be patient with me
