I'm currently in Korea now.
Because of purse forum, K couture and others info from you guys, I'm finally here.
So tired from my flight, arrive and went to consultation. I just completely deadly tired and just fall asleep without knowing when I got to the room.
I will share my experience after I chose which clinic I'm going to do surgery with. Right now still deciding...
Big thanks to KCouture again ^.^
I love u heaps

Tried kakaoing Opera PS the other night for prices on eye, ptosis, tiplasty, alarplasty, and hairline transplant.

Their response came very promptly this morning: "Hello ^^ I can't speak English... can you speak chinese?" Does this mean they have no eng consultants or translators in house?

2 weeks post op

Breast augmentation:
The pain has subsided a lot and I mean by 90% so i'm feeling a lot better and I guess the pain was worth it because I love how my breasts turned out. Swelling has gone down a bit also and my breasts dropped a bit so its not as high as it was post op. I still have to wear the surgical bra for another couple of weeks but I am getting used to it's tightness ad I also don't sleep in it at night

Nose job:
I honestly cannot believe that I have little to no swelling on the nose 2 weeks post op. That's just so weird to me. Ive met a few people while here in Seoul and they tell me that if I didn't mention that I had a nose job they wouldn't have guessed. They say it looks very natural and it suits my facial features. Pre-op the doctor told me I will have scars below my nostrils but so far the scars are barely visible

Lip reduction:
Had stitches removed after 2 weeks and that hurt lso freaking bad. Still awaiting results from lip reduction so I cannot reallly comment on it yet

Fat graft:
It looks very natural 2 weeks post op and i'm extremely happy with this procedure because it filled out my face more




A few tips for those of you planning to come to Seoul:

*When you are about to leave Incheon airport, there will be a bank called Shinhan Bank. It's close to the bus terminal. Your life will be a lot easier if you exchange the currency you have there(the lady told me they do not charge for an exchange). When I came I traded $300 usd for korean won and it lasted me two weeks. You can buy food/clothes or whatever with no worries.

* Do not come and go without visiting Gangnam station. Its a train station that has a mini mall with great deals and it's exciting to shop there. Plus, it'll get you out of your hotel room and give you something to do while in Seoul

*Buy Arnica Montana/Bromelain before you get here. It's an amazing desweller that works like the pumpkin juice only you apply it directly to the swelling. I found it works great for deswelling super fast.

* If you have no idea where to book a hotel, book a place near Nonhyeon-dong, Garosugil or Apjugeong. These places are where the clinics are at. ID, Everm, Dream, Regen, Faceline, Migo,365 mc,The Line,View and like a gazillion more places. Even the infamous BK and Grand are here. TLPS is the only one I know of so far that is out of this PS District. (Ive seen Young Dong Hotel, Lex Hotel,Motel 6 here) I stayed at the Emphthatha Residence because it was more within my budget and the owner and her family are hospitable.

*Fly Korean Air if you can,they have great customer service and I mean impeccable. They have a blanket, pillow, slippers, headphones and water for you on the plane. Not to mention, they have a ton of movies(english and korean), games and music for entertainment. You dont even need your ipad,ipod,phone or computer. Oh yeah, and the food is decent.

*Post op do not stay couped up in your room all day everyday. Its soooo bad for deswelling and also depressing. The clinic you go to will give you a surgical mask,so wear it proud and walk for as long as you can.

* There are stores here called Daiso,which are pretty much like the dollar store. You can get anything there from toilet paper to dishes and cups. They have everything and I mean everything. So when you're packing do not be one of those people at the airport that have to transfer stuff from your bags because you packed too much. Under pack because its not as heavy and at Daiso they have Toothpaste,toothbrushes,towels, masks for post op surgery, soap etc...

*Do not be offended if people stare at you here or point and laugh at whatever it is they make of your face behind your mask. It happened to me and it might happen to you. Don't feel bad just keep on moving with your head high and stay strong

* If you're not used to people smoking everywhere and I mean everywhere, like me. Brace yourself because everywhere you turn people will be puffing smoke in your face. They tend to spit a lot too but you'll get used to it I guess

*Just because a clinic gives you a price does not mean that it is set in stone, ask for a discount and if you only brought with you a certain amount of money,tell them that and see what they say. In addition if they ask you if you bought your credit card or more money please say no because they will up your price

*Post op get mentally prepared to be afraid when you look in the mirror. You will be unrecognizable due to swelling. You can avoid mirrors if you want but just now that the swelling will eventually go down

Hi everyone

Braun replied to me! It took them less than a day, however I didn't check until now. They replied in English unexpectedly (I asked them in Korean+English)... O_O


"Hi. thank you for your consultation

The price of eyelid ptosis operation is 1 million won.

The price of augmentation and corrective rhinoplasty is 3 million won.

If you have any question, please contact us again.

Have a nice day, bye~"


I'm not sure if the price for eyes includes the actual double lid surgery itself since most clinics charge extra for ptosis if I'm right. I THINK I sent a picture of my eyes to them? Which is why they must have suggested ptosis... (Bad memory lol but I just checked and apparently I didn't send them a pic..) Anyway if that's for double eyelid surgery AND ptosis... heck, that's about 1mil won cheaper than what other clinics have quoted me (Life quoted me 1.5mil for natural adhesion + 600~650,000 for ptosis)

Also, I should have asked them more specifically for tiplasty and alarplasty since that's what I want for myself. I guess $3million is just the average for a nose procedure. Which is higher than Life but not by much (2.5~2.75mil)

Since I simplified down my English when I messaged them, I'm gonna try and send another more detailed message now.

thanks for sharing. can you share Braun's email address? cannot find on their website.
