hongkongphooey Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Hi. Can I ask how much you paid for your 3 operations as I am thinking of having these ops too and I'm going next week! Also did Dr. Hong do your nose? Did you have silicone? If you have any pics can you email them to me at [email protected] Thanks ever so.
dan4me Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 nose (silicone for bridge + septal cartilage for tip + humpr removal) = 4500USD + 10% tax cheekbone reduction 5000 USD v-line surgery (square jaw reduction + chin implant) 10000USD And yes dr.hong did all my surgery. check your email for my pictures.
hongkongphooey Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Hi. I got your photos, you look great!!!! I have a consultation with Dr Hong on 7th June and it is mainly because of your posting so thank you. It was the lack of swelling that helped and another person replied to confirm they too experienced hardly any swelling in the hands of Dr Hong. Which surgery would you say was the most painful post op, the cheekbone or jaw surgery? Did you pay by credit card so you had to pay the 10% on all your surgeries?
hongkongphooey Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Hi. I can see you paid the 10% tax for your rhino op and not for your cheekbone and V line. I was wondering how did you manage to pay this with cash as you are only allowed USD10k into the country, did you declare it through customs?
hongkongphooey Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Does anyone know of a good website for medical insurance that includes cosmetic surgery in Korea? I am struggling to find any
dan4me Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Yeah, Korea has a weird law that they consider nose and eye surgery as cosmetic surgery and cheekbone and v-line as medical surgery ? Anyway, that's why I only paid tax for nose. I did not bring cash since BK's price is the same whether you pay with credit card or cash, but I made sure my credit card limit was enough for me to pay for surgery. Call your credit card company to remove the protection to use overseas if you are planning to use your credit card for payment.
1abbelle Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Hi guys, I've been gorge-reading this forum for a few days from the 1st post to now and still quite confused. I am planning to do rhinoplasty. So far, theres: Dr. Lee from VIP Dr. Park from ID Dr. Jung from Shimmian Dr. Kim from BK In the earlier forum thread, Dr. Lee seems to be the most popular.. but now Dr. Kim seems to be more popular. Any ideas why? What's your experience with any of them? Thank you for sharing and yr suggestions.
cccp Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Dear SassyChic09, How did your research go? Im also trying to find a way to contact Dr Cho.

For Banobagi, can share with me what was corrected and what problem it caused later on? sorry am planning to go korea soon and really very ganchiong now! >_< I cant use the PM function yet. But if you wish.. my email is [email protected] Thank you babe!!
seoulshy Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Hi babe, you had your consultation and procedures done with dr hong yet? How did it go?
linlin89 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Hi I'm considering visiting BK in the beginning of July. When are you going?
nose_research Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Hi everyone! I planning to go get rhinoplasty done in Korea sometime in the next year. I have a friend that had rhinoplasty at Vine Clinic in Korea a couple of years ago and another friend that had her's done with Dr Jung about 4 weeks ago. Both friends noses look fantastic. For some reason I like Vine Clinics job slightly more, maybe because her's was done a few years ago and has completely healed. I have tried to find more reviews on Vine Clinic but can't seem to find anything online. If someone has had work done with Vine Clinic would be great if you could share your experience with them. I'll link Vine Clinics website below. http://www.vineclinic.co.kr/
lvaddict2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Can I see your pictures also? Was it painful during the recovery process?
dan4me Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah, sure. Give me your email address then I will send it to you On the very day of surgery, Everything was aching after I got off the anesthesia although I was on pain medication. Then the swelling begin on the 2nd day po. Since I was not able to breathe through my nose for 1 week, it was rather uncomfortable than painful. Major swelling of my face went down after about 12-13 days po. Then, everything was okay. I didn't need to remove stitch for v-line surgery since they used absorbing thread in my mouth. Because they made incision in my mouth, I had difficulty in eating for about 1 month. but there is no scar on my face and plus I lost weight because of my diet. haha Let me know if you have any more question. I hope this helps !
lvaddict2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 I want this surgery done but scared of not being able to open my mouth and eat I am fit but don't want to lose weight.
lvaddict2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Are you happy with the results? Was the change dramatic or subtle?
