lovecert Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I consulted with Cinderella face to face and was quoted 5.5m for genioplasty. There is also this 100k won charge for the ct scans before they let you see the FC doctor
dorem Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I shop online and pay through paypal often so here is what I know. If you pay through paypal and place the payment as an order for goods and not services you will be entitled to a full refund if you file for fraud. I have done that in the past when a seller sent me a dress I bought online with a black smudge at the bottom. It was a white dress. I returned the dress and the seller was meant to refund but never did. I filed for fraud and got my money back. Maybe if you send payment and click the pay for goods options and say it is for Korean Line products it would be a safer thing to do
valenrina Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 The prices that DF quoted was about right. You will get almost the same if not the same quotes going to the clinics direct. I knew because I've been there done last December. DF doesn't charge anything to the patient, yet takes care of all the logistics for you. They had been extremely useful for me since I didn't have to worry about traveling to-fro the clinic, airport pickup, appointments, changing doc., etc. DF also helped with bargaining, grocery shopping. It helps to have someone on your side, so to me, it's a clear cut case of why not.
amekay Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I have been reading the other threads and it does seem like while Banobagi has quite a good rep so far, they are also guilty of jacking up the prices a bit, like what @KCouture and @blobvy said. I will go look for your post in that thread then, thanks palsdottr! I am leaning a lot more to NOT using DF's services since I think I will only get non-incisional DES. Will decide on epicanthoplasty and ptosis correction again when I see the doctor. People who are looking to get more procedures done may choose to go with DF since you may need to have somebody helping you out after all that ops. Think I should be able to take care of myself since it's only one minor(?) procedure so I should be dropping DF. Anybody been to Teuim or have consulted them? How is it? Heard they are one of the "to-go" for double eyelid surgeries. Gonna consult them too! Anyway, wanna share something! I was in Seoul for 2 years ago on exchange. My mum did some procedures when she came over to visit me. I am not sure of some of the technical terms but I will try to explain the ones she got. It was a total of 7 procedures. She had her double eyelids revised (she did hers like, probably 25 years ago in SG), "adjustment of lower lash line", a facelift, neck lift, "double chin removal", forehead augmentation and rhinoplasty done at Delightful Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Clinic (DAPRS or DA). I was not with her most of the time since I had school to attend but my sister was with her so she's taken care of. She chose DA because a few of my aunts' friends did their procedures there and they recommended the clinic to my mother. Seeing their results for herself, she also decided on DA. She went to the clinic straight for consultations and they booked for surgery. My mum had no agents with her, only my sister was with her. DA had in-house Chinese translator so communications was pretty much covered. However, DA was a decision she came to regret a little. I would say that her results are not very satisfactory but it's not thaaaat bad. Plus, she does not want to do any more procedures. She kinda "accepted" it in a way now, since everything has pretty much settled in. She still has some scarring near her ears and under her chin(?) from the facelift/double chin removal procedure. Her double eyelid revision - I don't know how to put it but it made her look fiercer and it is more asymmetrical than it was before. She also had numbing on her scalp for close to a year before it went away. My mum commented that the clinic was "very careless" with how they treated her post-ops before she moved back to the hotel. That was before my sister got to see her after the op. The nurses did not cover her with a blanket in the recovery room and she was freezing the whole night. She could not move around too well after the op so she just waited till the morning... :'( She also revealed that she was in so much pain with nobody to call out to that she was crying... In my mother's words, "like as if they left me to die there, don't know when tomorrow will come". Not only the procedures were not up to expectations and had crappy post-op care before she checked out, she paid almost $26,000USD!!! Yup, they charged her in USD. I did not know about this until it was all over. My only reaction was H--YSH--F--- WHAT THE FLYING ---- ASDFGHJKL!!!! I was not familiar with how all that foreigner pricing worked at that time and my mother honestly just went with good faith (LOL - since now I know a lot more of this whole cosmetic surgery thing). My mum did comment that the doctor was quite a nice person though. He explained things and did not brush her off when she asked questions. She also agreed that the translator was a a very helpful and checks in on my mum when she can! She remembered her as "Miss Kim". I met Miss Kim once or twice while getting medication and some other info for my mum and she did come across as approachable and patient! But the results of her surgery... Hmm.......... TL;DR - DA botched up a little, my mum still has scarring from the surgery (that was 2 years ago), post-op care in the clinic was slipshod, my mum paid $26K USD. Thinking back, it's really a bad decision not doing her "homework" but I mean, it's not like I can change history now... So if you're NOT using an agent, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH DOUBLE AND READ UP BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD, especially if you're doing a few procedures at one go! I do have a general bad impression of DA now but that's just my personal opinion. Just thought I should share this on forum.
hunnumgl Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks for your honesty ! 😃 yes, I should wait.Seriously i am hesitating to pay the deposit.I just don't wanna stuck with one place.Or just trow away $500.What If? I fly there for 15 hours and If I don't feel safe or trust them.It's very confusing 😟 I should wait and check on other clinics.
hunnumgl Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Thank you for your reply! Yes, I will not make deposit for now.And i am looking into other clinics.
palsdottr Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Lol i got quoted 6.5 via docfinder. what a rip off!
palsdottr Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 Omg I can't believe DA botched your mom's $26k surgeries!! I hope her scars aren't too visible >_< We really do need to be more cautious before making any commitments with any of these clinics! Thanks for sharing this; I made an appointment for a consultation with DA, now I'm not so sure. Seems like every clinic has horror stories and there's none without at least one T_T I'm also considering doing my eyes (next visit), please let me know on how your consult with Teium goes!

curlycat Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Does docfinder charges you for transportation fees to n fro airport when they hire you a car?
valenrina Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Nope, in fact, they don't charge you anything. Free airport pickup and send off, free transport to/from hotel and clinic for all follow-up sessions. I don't even have to approach the clinic counter, everything is taken care of for me.
microchip Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Is Docfinder a company belonging to a clinic or a group of clinics? How do they earn money if they give everything free?
