oreocream Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 In my opinion, you should do the eyes first before the FC. Because after FC, the area around your eyes will be swollen and discoloured, so how are you going to do your eyes then? And after FC you will feel plenty of discomfort and inconvenience, the last thing you want to do is another surgery. By the way, if you wear contacts, be sure to bring along a pair of glasses because you can't be wearing contacts after eye surgery. And if you're thinking of adding rhino as well, please reconsider because then you can't wear glasses either. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokiotokio Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Have you heard anything really bad about rhinoplasty results? When I was reading around, I didn't see anything too bad. Some complains that results are 'too' natural, a complaint about implant issue (sounded like doctor wanted to fix but person didn't have enough time), but not anything super devastating. I understand that even great doctors will have mistakes sometimes, or some cases are just difficult. Or some people are just super picky and won't be happy unless its perfect. However, I also read things about how people originally weren't settled on JW, but after consultation decided that JW was the right choice. I've heard good reviews overall. Also, I'm white/Caucasian so it was also important for me to have a doctor who has experience with that. I don't want a Korean nose, I think it would look weird! I saw another girl from another clinic (don't remember, was awhile ago), and she was given an Asian style nose and it made her look biracial. I just want a better version of my own nose.

jojoyes Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Here are some quotes from the 'Bad plastic surgery experiences' thread: “…my negative experience with JW was that they just didn't care AT ALL whatsoever and the pay doctor who clearly didn't care about patients did not even want to explain as to why she thought a decrease in the sides of the nose was warranted. 3 mins seemed too much to spend on a patient that they wanted to charge over 10grand for.” “My friend had her nose done in JW . They are good but if you're not going for natural nose then i suggest you dont go for JW.” “I'm currently watching YouTube videos of surgery fails of some PRC patients.. One of them was from JW.. “ “There are actually a lot of unhappy JW customers from China.” Their rhinoplasty seems to be good (but not some people say it looks fake or too natural, as you said), but their service can definitely improve. Just remember that no clinic is 100% perfect and that you might have a bad experience. Be cautious. But I think you can definitely go to JW. A lot of clinics have bad reviews, after all. Their rhino seems good and they're experienced with Caucasians. I'm also Caucasian but I'm planning on going to MVP or Top Class, as really big clinics tend to give a way higher price to foreigners than locals (and have higher prices in general). But smaller clinics have less experience with foreigners. In the end, it depends on what you want. A clinic that's experienced with foreigners that will give you the kind of nose that you like or a cheaper clinic who will give you a different nose. Personally, I like the Korean style nose. It's a lot cuter than the western style. Western noses are a little too big usually IMO. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittymon Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 i'll be doing eyes and FC in a separate clinic too. I agree with @oreocream that doing eyes first might be more feasible, i was actually struggling with the thought of doing both at the same clinic may i know why did you shortlist MVP and View for eyes & FC respectively? what method will you be using?

insecur1ties Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Oh no. I'm considering getting my eyes and nose fix together at one shot but I need to wear glasses / contacts because without them, I'm practically blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreocream Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Can't do that. If you're just doing DES, you have to wait a minimum of 1 week before using contacts. Even so, that one week is the absolute minimum and there is a possibility you might need to wait longer depending on the swelling. If it's more complicated like canthoplasty, then 2 or even 3 weeks is ideal. If you're doing rhinoplasty, you can't wear glasses for 6 weeks post-op, unless it's just simple alarplasty. If your nose bridge is being worked on, then glasses are out. The only way out of this is if you can find glasses which sits on your cheekbones instead of the nose. But I suggest you do your eyes and nose in 2 separate trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallmuffin Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Having stayed in Korea for 5 years, I would personally not recommend anyone to go to Gr*nd, J* and J*welry. Korea has plastic surgery cafes (kinda like a forum but a community? Most of them are private because they do not want promoters from hospitals to be part of their community as they will discuss prices, hospitals and their specialities) and these 3 are one of the top blacklisted hospitals. Sure, they are huge and they provide translations etc... But their main customers are foreigners and not Koreans. Another thing to note is that for nose job, prices range from 2.3mil to 2.8 (depends on complexity) and up to 3.5mil(for hospitals that re more specialised). Do take note that as a foreigner, you will never ever pay the local price unless you have a local go with you. However, a nose job that cost 4milion and above is obviously a ripoff. My korean friends who had tip+rhinoplasty paid only 2.8mil... For basic alarplasty reduction the price ranges from (300,000-600,000). By the way I do not recommend anyone to do zygoma/malar /vline contouring etc... I know that everyone desires to have that small face however when age catches up with you, thats when the side effect hits you. I have read many korean cafes and many have already seen the side effects, having problems to chew/weak jaw etc. The most dangerous procedure is zygoma because if the surgeon does not do a good job, it may affect your nerve system and you will end up with a paralyse cheek. I was contemplating to get zygoma because I didn't like my wide cheekbones but after getting advices from Korean friends who are able to translate articles to me and also my dermatologist in korea- I asked her opinion and she just told me to live with it because she personally feels that the media glamourises small face beauties thus everyone thinks that it is safe to get their faces shaved. However, they are not educated about the side effects and the complexity of such surgeries. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask me.
