if you're going to pay around $15000 for 3 procedures with a translator then standard price without a translator = $9000 and price after negotiations = $4000-$6000. depends on the clinic and procedures but possible.
something like that is possible but it depends on the clinic. if you really want to pay someone $5000+ for pretending to translate while really just negotiating her own commission then hire an anita, a nicole or a zoe. or a wang or a yang or in China, same thing. bkzabii i don't know where you went but without the anita you would have paid a lot less.
i'm not going to call them translators because that's not what they are. they are people taking a lot of money for doing almost nothing and lying about it. they're just some anitas. nothing but common zoes
malissa i'm sure you can negotiate that down to 14-16.5M in person, you can't really negotiate a personal price before you go to korea.

Seriously is Nicole still around, Caveat emptor.

Lol nicole isn't around anymore, I end up going to faceline cause I went to girin real view and jewelry with anita and them and got quoted really high, I went to chungdam jw and faceline without them and end up paying 6000$ for upper, lower eyelid and rhino.. without them jw was 9000 and chungdam was similar to faceline

Hey everyone its been almost five months for me post op, I had surgery at faceline and I'm satisfied with the results, you can still see scar from the eyelid surgery but its minimal. I previously mention my guest house and my host mom who translated for me but I've heard from a clinic that she is asking them for commision so I don't know if I would still highly recommend her and her place anymore. .. in my honest opinion I think sinsa is the best place to be situated for plastic surgery there's less transfer on the train and its a safe neighborhood with lots of clinic and shopping nearby. I know a lot of people who went to daps and are not satisfied with their result, a girl whom I spoke with before going to korea who went for consultation before me and did surgery I left at view with dr choi and was very unhappy with her result her nose was visibly uneven and the cartilage they used to make a tip was obviously showing through nostrils. . My friend whom I met when I was in korea did eyes and nose at item and I really liked her result she went back recently to do fat graft for her whole face and chin augmentation there and was really happy with her result her open fold had turned to a closed one and her doctor offered to open it up again for free, item doesn't negotiate and they aren't the cheapest but I really liked their result so its definitely a safe choice they also speak English and madarin so no need for translator. . Those are my thoughts good luck everyone


P.s girin doctors are actually really nice and there is no stereotype against foreigner they spend a long time with consultation .. their technique is quite different from other clinics just don't go with anitas translating service and you might actually get quoted decently. . And whatever you do don't go to jewelry my frIend who came back from korea recently posted a pic of a patient protesting outside jewelry cause they messed up their eyes twice. . But don't take my word for it go see jewelrys staff for yourself they are some freaky looking bunch

I have to say I have absolutely %$#in had it with translators
The time they waste , the trouble they cause. Vultures waiting
to feed off the wallets of any unsuspecting trusting soul who
happens to wander into Gangnam without the necessary Korean
language skills to fend for themselves.

No but really enough is enough, there has to be away to beat these people .

i feel ya - i tried to blow the lid on this many mths ago...only started to get traction after i 'left' this forum.

unfortunately the ps industry gives a lot of $$$$ to the korean government thru taxes. this industry isn't regulated and the gov won't take down their cash cow.

there's no protection for the consumer - koreans can't even post a negative review about a clinic online...it's illegal.

the documents the clinics get u to sign just before surgery basically (amongst other things) say u won't sue for a botched surgery, even if it is their fault and u can't get monetary compensation

again - this industry isn't regulated and the gov isn't going to want their cash cow negatively affected. if u protest at a clinic, it's actually u that can and will be arrested, the clinic gets away with not even a slap on the wrist

sorry i will say more but this account has already been 'black listed' by the promoters on here - if u read my past posts i've been threatened and all sorts

can't keep a fighter down!!! bring it be-atches!!!!

this is so true. about the F*** up translators and f*** up clinics that bear no responsibility even if they don't exercise reasonable care and cause suffering to patients. it's kind of scary.

i read something like you only get free revision if you pay for more procedures at BK is THat true? if it is don't waste your money. it's a bad bad clinic, can you save money for a revision elsewhere? i think it's better... you won't get compensation from them but if you sue them and win then... but that takes money and time... so maybe not worth it. i'm sorry.

Click to expand...

my friend has given up on BK and went elsewhere. she went to another clinic and asked for her X-ray so that she can complaint against BK, but the doctor don't allow (they are friends with BK surgeons and won't do such things), such is the dirty nature of korean plastic surgery politics.

I did mine in another clinic, just hope they will give me one more revision. I paid so much but look uglier than before…….

View quoted me 6m for v-line, 6m for chin augmentation, 6m for zygoma reduction and a starting price of 3.3m for rhinoplasty. I find them pretty expensive as well, but they keep reminding me that the price is VERY negotiable at a consultation when having 2 procedures or more at the same time.. So I really have no idea what to expect.

Click to expand...

Yeah I think I'll just hope for the best and go for the consultation in Korea during the summer.

Bkzabii said: ↑

All clinics claim its more negotiable when u go there I don't remember exact amount but view quoted me on the higher side cause I had translator for upper eyelid and rhino it was 7, 500 again I realy think it was cause of anita and them

Click to expand...

Wow that's a lot. I'm hoping I can negotiate the price down to where I really can afford to pay for it.

Just want to share w u guys. I didn't realize how these korean clinics over charge foreigners! Example, I was checking out id clinic website and they quoted 1.7 mil won for epi surgery. I just called pretended to be a local (I can speak korean) and they quoted 900k. What a difference! If you have any korean friends, have them call to make an appt ang have them quote a price. When u get there, be sure to share their original pricing.
