monixtuma Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 yeah... (-_-)> The costs right.. Maybe because we are foreigner so there is services then the surgery price will be higher than local. Why don't you go to clinic that accept local ? If you dislike to go with clinics offer in-house translator and the costs are like rip off your pocket. I don't think that paid more will make you treated well or better than clinic that not offer too high price. That's why don't take a rush and keep do more research. So, you are able to make bargain price. But, i am not said that you are bargain then it's not logically asked for too low price. Crap.. No, keep realistic. You can arrange your surgery trip, asked the consultant. That's their job. If they are not kindly answer your questions, move on. Like The Line, ID, TLPS staff. I dislike them and i feel disappointed. They doesn't like to answer any questions, simple and short. Regen staff are reply to me, there is no such a waiting time for me if i booked the consultation by myself. I can possible booked the appointment whenever i want but it's wise to make it like 2-3 weeks before. Same as Grand and Cinderella. JK are not answer those questions. Read my thread if you want to know. -_-")> I guess it's still reasonable if you asked for discount or bargaining, isn't ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Curve or T-osteotomy? - long curve 3. Do you notice any sagging or other side effects?

For the nose what procedures did you get? - implants on my nose bridge (silicone) and cartilage on my tip. and i reduce my wide nose bridge as well. 6. Are you happy with the results? - yeah quite a lot 7. How was the doctor and consultant? Pushy, patient, heard your opinion, annoyed? Did you communicate well? - the reason i chose that clinic was they did not push to chose useless procedures and they are good listener. But consultant tried to rip me off and was not much kind.. so i communicated with jefferson only, she helped me a lot. Surgeon can speaks English but not much well. 8. How was their post op service? - when i visit them every times after surgery, i was possible to meet my surgeon. and nurses, Jefferson are kind as well.

gantz Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Thank you Rinda so much for answering to me It really helps a lot Some other questions I have: Did you ask for a natural or dramatic change? Do you find that the long curve method is enough to reduce the chin or not? Was your main concern your chin or jaw? (For v-line only) Did the doctor mention you might have sagging in the future? Did he play down the risks of the surgery or was honest and informative about the risks? Which other clinics did you visit and why didn't you choose them? Do you have kakao? If you do, would you like to pm before and after photos to me? I consider visiting Girin! That's all Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinda10 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hi again! Did you ask for a natural or dramatic change? - my preference is natural change Do you find that the long curve method is enough to reduce the chin or not? - i am not sure much, but my opinion is 'yes' Was your main concern your chin or jaw? (For v-line only) - jaw Did the doctor mention you might have sagging in the future? Did he play down the risks of the surgery or was honest and informative about the risks? - Yes, he said. I was quite impressive lol. anyway i did not chose face lift procedure because of no enough money. Which other clinics did you visit and why didn't you choose them? - Well, various reason such as expensive, push me to get surgery, lack of communication and etc. I have no kakao id, i will send you email about my b&a picture.

ragdoll Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Omiart, when are you going to korea? I'm planning a trip alone too, but dates not firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola-monet Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I have to disagree here. I'm leaving next week and I have been emailing several clinics since early Feb. The Line, Id, JW, and Cinderella were all very informative, answered all my questions, and seemed very courteous and kind in emails. Out of the 8 clinics I've spoken to only DARPS have not returned my emails, perhaps they don't have an English translator? Everyone has different experiences I suppose.

monixtuma Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I do not care if anyone agrees with me or not. But nothing seems to agree. I do not like to argue. I am sorry if it bothers you. Maybe I should be careful and no longer write anything. I'm not looking for trouble or enemy. It's up to you, please ignore my writing like others. If anyone disagrees, that's usual. Perhaps impressed vent, next time I will not write anymore. Good luck in your journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessicacorbyn Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 How do you pay the clinics if you have European bank account? Do you count it out in cash or can you bank transfer? I do not want to pay big amount in cash notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jza155 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Some big clinics allow wire transfer, but cash is always preferred for these things hehe. More likely for discount too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicacorbyn Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Oh hehe ^^ I am paranoid I guess because I read on another thread that one of the clinics I am considering (TL) had the accountant miscount the cash and it seemed like they were trying to scam him. Do I just get the cash out when I am in Korea then? Or bring a traveller cheque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
