popcorndreams Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 It's definitely getting better as the swelling is going down. The doctor admitted that there is a bit of asymmetry as of now but he said to wait a couple more months to fully recover. It doesn't look too bad but I wish they were more even. Will update you guys in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mliaous Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi Blueblood, After my phone/email consultation with Banobagi and REAL. I decided to go with REAL for face to face consultation and if possible surgeries on the same day. The overall professionalism of REAL i found is better. Banobagi took a while to reply my emails and HEBE is way too pushy on me paying deposit to secure on the same day surgeries. Medication for antibiotic will be extra cost? Come on. If I pay for high cost of surgeries fee. Not really sure why I would be charge for medication (antibiotic). Kinda of silly. Anyway, thank you for your advice about REAL. I am very excited for my upcoming trips to Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillyjill Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wow, very nice!! Do you mind sharing Dr Cheong's contact? How much did you pay for the forehead fat graft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillyjill Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I still have difficulty trying to contact View, Opera, DAPRS. There is no response after sending emails. As for DAPRS, anyone has the email address please share ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mliaous Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I suggested you gave them a call. I email to REAL, no one respond. I decided to gave them a call by Skype. Shortly after, they replied to my email promptly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblood444 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi there, I'm glad you were able to secure a consultation with Real. Even though it wasn't the clinic I ended up choosing, it's received many positive reviews on Korean sites and through word of mouth. It's a relatively small clinic, so the doctor is very busy and can try to rush the consultation process. Don't feel pressured by that, and feel free to ask as many questions as you want. Hehe it was the same for me too - Banobagi only provided me with a doctor's note so I ended paying for the meds at a pharmacy. However, the cost of medication in Korea is much cheaper than in North America. And if you're only going for DES, you may not even need the pills. Good luck with your surgery! If you ever need advice on good restaurants or shopping districts, pm me your kakaotalk ID and we can chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mliaous Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi Blueblood, My Kakao ID is bubblelious1. 12.25. I will have nothing to do, I plan to walk around the city and experience a bite of Korea culture. Do you think a lot of restaurants and shopping center are closed? I am sure convenience store is open. Very curious what convenience store looks like in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssxccc Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Anyone heard of http://www.juneis.com/en/index.asp? It was recommended to be by my facialist who is originally from Korea. Also, still been trying to make an appointment with Opera... does anyone know if I could just do walk ins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mliaous Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi Why not gave them a call? Tell them you spoke English. They might have English translator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblood444 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks! I'll add you Christmas is not the biggest holiday in Korea - it's getting more popular but most shops will be open and people still treat the day like any other. It's a really couple-y holiday so it can actually be a bit depressing for singles - at least it was for me lol. But this works in your favour as your plans will not be affected by store closures! No restaurant would be dumb enough to close their doors on a day nearly every couple in Korea chooses to eat out. Oh, btw, I've noticed that Real quotes a bit on the higher end so try to bargain if you can! The consultants are very nice and friendly there.

blueblood444 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm pretty confident they'd accept walk ins. From personal experience, the consultants are quite....proactive in pushing you to do your procedure(s) there so I'm sure they'd squeeze you in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mliaous Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi Blueblood, I think they will quote me higher for sure. Don't worried i can negotiate. BTW I told Pitangui I will no longer consultation and perform my surgery there. Instantly, they lower down the price by 2K. Kinda of silly actually. But, I feel like a piece of meat.
