Opera is on a safety blacklist and there have been accidents there...I asked my friend to check.

Omg thank you for providing these links!

Since I can't read Korean though, I cannot understand all of the clinics' names that are mentioned. Could you please share them here in English?

Thanks again

Hi, I posted it here # Didn't know it was also discussed here.
Btw http://www.sisamediin.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1702 as far as I understood there are companies that make to much promotions saying that some procedures will make them younger, more beautiful etc, not having any clinical proves. And their B&As being photoshoped to make people believe. Some clinics are calling themselves hospitals as according to Korean law they are not allowed to an other stuff. They are being accused in ads containing false info.
If I am wrong correct me

Yeah, they are in the list with ads problems.
They kinda violated three rules:
1. We are promising you get younger 10 years with only one surgery.
2. Too much obvious photoshoping.
3. Calling themselves a hospital.

1. Happy lift (aka Miraewon)
2. Izien
3. Clinic S (clinices.com)
4. Romian
5. La pians
6. Opera
7. Her she
8. Ping clinic
9. SR clinic (Star Romian)
10. Damin
11. Korea PS
12. Grand

For different clinics there are different violations. Google can give common understanding of what each clinic violated.

Yeah, me too.
But I think the fact that they violated ads rules doesn't mean that they have bad surgeons though it's not an advantage as well.
As for me, I crossed out all of the clinics with accidents from the first list.

Hi all, i didn't go to opera for my double eyelid surgery at the end. Went to a small scale clinic located in apgujeong area.

Can anyone teach me how to post picture here?

MVP Clinic

PROS:

-Walked in without any appointments and they were able to accommodate me with an English speaker so last minute. I only had to wait about 30 minutes

- Cheap pricng after negotiation

-Nice office



CONS:

-The doctor was rushed on the consultant and they didn’t even have us hold a mirror up to see what they were doing (..why…????)

-The doctor poked out my friends contracts TWICE

-When asked if the doctor recommended anything else for me, he said I could get my nose done, it’s a bit flat- this is the only place that pushed on services to me that I didn’t ask for

-Don’t have reviews on PF and couldn’t find a lot of photos to work off of



Netural:

-I personally didn’t like the look of people going in and out of the clinic who had work done, but this is a personal taste kind of thing



The consultation which was a mid-age woman named Ellen was the one that helped to translate for us. During the consultation with the doctor there were a couple of things that had stood out:

-She kept standing in front of where I was sitting covering me from seeing my friend’s consult with the doctor and what they were doing for her eyes. I find that weird especially since all the other consultants stood next to the doctor so that I was included and could see what was happening. This made me feel uneasy because I felt like she was trying to make it so I couldn’t see if anything was wrong with the way they were creating the shapes ESPECIALLY since they didn’t even hand us a mirror to look at.

-As mentioned above the doctor wasn’t really gentle with his hands on either me or my friend (worst on my friend since she had contacts and they actually came out). This makes me think how “rough” the doctor would be on his hands

-The doctor WAS nice though, but it just didn’t make me feel comfortable after the consultation



Afterwards, Ellen sat with us and we discussed pricing. The were REALLY willing to lower the pricing down with haggling AND she even said she would throw in Botox (which is suppose to be a $300 value and I had asked if she could just take the $300 off of our total price and she said no). The totals came out to be:

-Ptosis + Epi + Incision – 1.8mil won

-Ptosis + incision – 1.5 mil won

They would waive the 10% health tax if paid with cash



Automatically I had eliminated MVP from my list because during the consultation we had asked to see photos of their work and they didn't have ANYTHING to show us really aside from promotional materials. They have a good overall appearance in terms of physical location, staff and website, but we noticed something really fishy- they lacked photos of real patients before and afters. Ellen kept trying to make excuses that they have a lot, but she couldn’t show them to us and she was looking on her folder and there were a lot of pictures, but she kept telling us she didn’t have any. She accidentally opened up a PowerPoint with some eye photos an she scrolled through them REALLY QUICKLY and didn’t give us a chance to look. Based on what I saw the work was just okay. She kept also saying that no one come back for a follow up so they don’t have any pictures. I found this really hard to believe because I don’t see why anyone would NOT want to go back to see their doctor after getting surgery to make sure that everything is healing right and properly.



In the end she had given us a USB and told us there were pictures in there but they were all just their promotional advertisements and photoshoots.



I left knowing that I just couldn’t commit to a place that didn’t have proof of their work and tried to hard sell me on services even though they had pretty cheap pricing.
