carnation Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Hi NYC Angel, Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it was so informative and helpful. You made me think about a lot of things. Thanks!
nyc-angel Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Thankfully I didn't have to get braces again after my surgery. I had braces years ago and I told the doctor I really don't want to have to get them again and he said my my case I didn't need them. I think in your case you should be fine even though you have veneers, but you won't know for sure until you go for a consult
nyc-angel Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 I'm glad you have been able to be in contact with the clinic. Dr Lee speaks English very well but I still felt I needed to have my friend there with me to help translate sometimes. With a big surgery like 2 jaw, you don't want anything to be lost in translation. Some of the staff speaks a little English, and if anything they will use google translate to be able to communicate with you A little tip if you decide to go for a consult at Face Dental, bring pics of a celebrity you would like to look like. Dr Lee told me at my consult to bring pics of a celeb that I admire. It was something I never thought about to be honest. But when he mentioned it, I decided to pick a Victoria's Secret model that I thought was beautiful and maybe even possible to have her profile. Amazingly he did a pretty good job giving me the same kind of profile the model has. Even my friend was really impressed lol
carnation Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I didn't realize, but did you have to stay in Korea for a whole month??
blasian Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I am bring a photo of Song Hye Kyo Let's see how closely he can make my profile look like that, it would be awesome.
nyc-angel Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Yes, I had to stay at least 1 month in order to have the surgery. Dr. Lee was very strict that I would stay in town long enough to get proper check ups done. I'm glad that he's strict... its obvious that safety is his main priority Crazy story. I contacted ID hospital about a year ago just to see what they would quote me. For my surgery they said they would charge me 29 million won! Then I asked them how long do I need to stay in town to recover. The consultant had the nerve to tell me that I can go home after just 1 week if I needed to! Seriously?! She said they have patients that do this all the time! I couldn't believe she said that. I strongly warn people to stay away from ID hospital! For them to tell me I could just go home after 1 week of having 2 jaw surgery is just terrifying!
nyc-angel Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 lol definitely bring the pics... doesn't hurt! I think Song Hye Kyo is gorgeous! I adored her in the Kdrama "Full House" with Rain! I think she even prettier than Kim Tae Hee but that's just my opinion.
nyc-angel Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 I tried to PM you but I don't think I can because you don't have enough posts yet on this forum. Like I posted before, I paid under 13 million won
bigjaw Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 can you pm me your pic before and after? have you tried girin?
tarius Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Did you bargain? Please PM me if you don't mind, i'm now a regular member.
kgoevol Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks! This is super helpful! I was just looking at the recommended cliniCs in e forum. But this really increased my choices
milkyway52 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks for this info. This is what I'm looking for. In the past, every time I typed in a clinic's name it just lists a bunch of ads for the clinic and not many reviews. Also how did you use Google translate? I have problems understanding the translations since they're never properly translated.
