hongkongphooey Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Andi, your advice is good, I had V line and rhino and sliding genioplasty and it was quite traumatic. When are you leaving Korea? I will be there next Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hongkongphooey Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I don't have bank card without charges. Do you know the rate at the bank if I exchanged over the counter? I will have GBP sterling, UK money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andifleur5 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Bank rate vary by each day, you can download an app for currency exchange or check online each day to get an ideal of how much you will get for exchange. If youre exchanging by cash it's the same thing (sort of) as withdrawing through ATM with 3% fee. Unless your bank only charge $5 per transaction then you can withdraw huge amount and only that much in fee.But most banks charge 3% sign up with capitalone360 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyalya Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 same here! i'm asking the price and what to expect regarding jaw surgery, as I really want to get it done there. they are my top choice curently well....any other clinic that has a good review about jaw surgery? would help me determine my choice! thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malissa Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 EverM, DAPRS, and a few other also have a pretty good reputation when talking about jaw surgery. Are you wanting 2-jaw or just jaw reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malissa Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks a lot! Never really thought twice about having it all done at once, so I'm glad you mentioned it. Do you think there would be any complications in doing face contour and boobs at one place at the same time, and then wait 2 weeks and have my nose done somewhere else? Can't wait to hear your review though. I really like Unique's noses. How did you contact them though? And congrats on your surgery btw! Hope you'll heal fast and love the results ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psp Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Finally, today is the post 1 month after my nose revision and fat grafting, and post 5 weeks after my face contouring surgeries. I did my face contouring (wide cheek bone reduction, V line, chin shifting slightly backward) on 17 April. I did my nose revision (replaced the silicon and using ear cartilage to create the nose tip) and fat grating on 23 April. I went to White Medical Group with my PS buddy Piyochi. Originally White is a dental Clinic. They expanded into full pledge plastic surgery clinic this year January. They occupied 3 levels of the building - level 1, 2 & 4. They just shifted from level 4 to level 1. Professor Lee is the Oral and Maxillofacial Specialist. Dr Choi is the PS surgeon. Dr Choi is the expert in Fat Grafting. He would harvest fresh fats each time and inject into 3 layers of skin as compare to other doctors who freeze the fats and inject the fats into 1 layer only. I took a photo with both Professor Lee (wearing green uniform) and Dr Choi (wearing white uniform) Yuki is our English Manger. She is half Japanese and half Korean, she speaks fluent English. She is a super sweet and nice person. White is not well known to international patients, however they are well known in the Korean celebrities circle. They are well known to do 2 jaws. One of the Korean drama queen, Eun-Kyung Shin did her 2 jaws @ White too. My PS Buddy had written a very detailed review on our consultations with both White and Able clinics, on our surgeries, on our healing camp experiences, and also our recovery/healing period in Seoul, so I shall not bore you with the same details. Her review is in the following link:# I have been very active in Chinese Forum recently (sorry Purse Forum) and had posted my post surgeries reviews and photo. To be honest, I wasnt as active in purse forum as before. Then one of the Chinese forum members reminded me to post in Purse Forum. Then I remember that I had gained so much knowledge and help from purse members who went to Korea for PS. And I have vowed to give back to this wonderful forum which has helped me to fulfill my final PS journey. Thank you Riko. Without you, I probably ended up in a blacklisted clinic. And thank you for being such a dear real friend to me even though we havent met in person yet. Thank you Daytona. Thank you for your English translated blacklisted clinic list. You are my Angel. Thank you Piyochi. I love You, my PS Buddy. She has been patient with me even though on few occasions when I flared my temper. And she has been such a great help to made all the lodging and consultation arrangement. I love you again, Chichi Thank you Rina who introduced Piyochi to me. Sorry to sound like an Oscar thanking speech but those above words are from the bottom of my heart as these members had been the greatest blessings in my PS journey. So my dear fellow members trust in the Lord that you will also find true friendship in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psp Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 My face contouring before and after photos - post 1 month after my FC surgery on 17 April.

winterntht Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Bank rate is usually the same as the rate you get online or the difference is really negligible, e.g the British Pound - Korean Won exchange rate today from XE is 1727.87, you may get a rate of 1720 from a Korean bank. If you need to exchange 10 mil Won, you will only lose KRW 40,000 maximum, which is nothing compared to the amount of money you have to spend on surgery. Honestly I don't know why people bother too much about where to get a good exchange rate or even carry a large amount of money to Miendong just to get a few extra tens of thousands won. There are a lot of other things to worry about when you have surgery in a foreign country. I usually just take all British Pound with me and exchange it at any bank I pass by on my way. It's so convenient and quick. Also, a lot of clinics accept GBP and they use the online rate. By the way, you should never buy Korean Won in the UK. The first time I went to Korea, I wanted to be well-prepared so I exchange £2500 to KRW and lost around KRW 300,000. The exchange rate in the UK is just terrible. They also didn't have a large amount of KRW in store so I had to order in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psp Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 My nose revision and fat grafting before and after photos - post 1 month after the surgeries on 23 April. I still have swelling, but as each day goes by, the swelling is getting lesser and lesser. Those wounds on my right ear and nose are not longer visible after 3 weeks.
