Hi Angel 82
Im not getting thread lifting but dr. Recommend me to do. Im not sure about it so i googled and found out too many people on realself were not happy for a result . I decided to do fat lipo and buccal fat removal instead. What kind of lifting do you want to do? Threadlift or facelift?

I'm still considering. I've seen good result of threadlift amongst friends though but like u said they are also people who are not happy with their results. Which clinic u go to for lipo and which part? Have they quoted you already?

1 ½ month update:

I'm really pleased with how my jaw turned out. I mean, they said it could take up to 6 months for the swelling to go away -- but I'm already happy with what I see in the mirror now, and if across the next few more months my jaw gets slimmer and slimmer then I'll just be even more happy hehe :3

The botox they gave me to my jaw muscles helped a lot too! A lot of my friends have pointed out that I look different in a good way, but they also just dismiss it to loss of weight, which means I must look natural! Big whoop-whoop :smile:

Hm. My eyes though. I'm like half and half on this one. The swelling has pretty much gone away now, which is great because I don't look like an alien anymore. My left eye is pretty perfect. Natural looking. No scars.

My right eye though...sigh. It's clearly not the same as my left (about 1mm higher, which doesn't seem like a lot but actually it makes a heckload of difference visually) and so it always looks slightly more swollen until I balance it out with makeup. Thank God for makeup.

But it sucks because I never wore that much makeup before, and now I have to wear it everyday to correct a mistake that shouldn't even be there in the first place. I took surgery so I could have bare face days and still feel confident~ and this turned out the complete opposite! There are scars too~ along the crease-line, small pinkish marks where my sutures were.

Oh, and my aegyosal fillers. UNEVEN. What is this with the whole unevenness with my eye area, especially the right eye?! Again, left eye perfect, it's cute and puffy and exactly what I wanted. With right eye, it's as if there aren't any fillers in there. My right undereye is the same as before. SAME. I'm really sad because I paid so much extra money for the fillers. *cries*

Taking all this into consideration, I believe that my surgeon was really great with my jaw (he is a maxillofacial specialist after all!), but also that I probably should've asked for two separate surgeons to be assigned to me, because the two procedures I had are totally different and on two different areas of the face. And maybe the right eye is my surgeon's blind spot? I don't know.

Nevertheless, I would still highly recommend the clinic, and my surgeon (for jaw procedures). Everyone there treated me like a princess and I was really well taken care of. The whole trip was literally painless and even though I complained about my results, I guess I should be happy because they're not super serious, and could probably be fixed with the tiniest tweak here or there (which I'm planning to undertake next year).

Some tips from me:

> Do loads of research
> If you're a major pushover like me, write down everything you want to ask the surgeon beforehand and bring the notes with you so you won't forget.
> Never, never be afraid to ask questions, even the big and scary and daring ones. It's your face after all. Believe it or not, I'd probably avoid most of my mistakes if I had asked questions and confirmed what I wanted with the surgeon.
> Always, always bargain the price down. Even if the price they offer is already lower, BARGAIN IT DOWN! You'll save yourself a lot, and it's good to have plenty of money leftover in case something goes wrong.

Man, looking back...I'm such a naïve looloo seriously.

Thanks for sharing. By bargaining, what kind of techniques do you recommend?

According to google, you should make your first counter offer really low i.e. offer local prices. Which most clinics will probably refuse and then go up from there.

Or just mention how a different clinic offered you a certain price that you want them to match.

Has anyone here managed to successfully negotiate a lower price?

If I remember correctly, you went to Dream right? Was it doctor Kim Young Joon who performed the surgeries?

Maybe your right eye still has a lot of swelling left...? I've heard that sometimes it can take up to 3-6 months to see your final results.

Did the same facial surgeon do your eyes? Doesn't Dream allow two different specialists to perform different types of surgery on you? Who was the doctor that did your eyes?

I'm going to consult with Dr. Park (KCouture's doctor) for nose, eyes and fat graft in December. Hopefully everything's alright with that :smile:

Anyway, thanks for sharing and good luck with your recovery!

Are you Angel? The same Angel I met in Sept 2012? You were in Korea with your boyfriend for rhino and fat graft. Am I right?

Oh my gosh! How many days will you be consulting for? Too bad I won't be consulting at any of these places... Although I thought about April 31... I only have one day to consult. I'm going to try and squeeze in four!

Anyone has pricing for hair transplant or hair regrowth treatments for men? Since last year my hair has been falling out. I used medication which worked for the first year or so but its accelerated again. I'm getting kinda depressed with this. I don't want to be bald!

I asked Opera Plastic Surgery about hair transplant a while ago and they quoted me 300~350,000 won for 3000 grafts. I think normally most clinics charge 350,000won for 2000 grafts. Btw in one session a maximum of 4000 hairs can be transplanted. So you are looking at roughly 600~700000won per session, and depending on how many sessions you will need.
