Hello Everyone! I'm so excited to see other people my age (I'm turning 18 in a month) looking to get facial contouring because that's what I want to get done in about a year or two. So far, I'm leaning towards Dream Medical because they have a "berry line" surgery which is closest to what I want. Good luck with all of your consultations and I hope the surgeries go well!

Hey Wanderlust, nice to meet you! I'm actually really glad to I included my age while starting this thread (even though it may have seemed reckless to post personal information.) It's allowed me to meet so many great people around my own age that are interested doing procedures as well (and other amazing people that aren't around my age either!)

I too am waiting until I am about 19/20 to get facial contouring done, as I know I'm still developing. Actually, I think my face shape is pretty decent, I've just gained a lot of weight in the past few years that has contributed to fat gain around my jaw/chin area. I decided to have laser accusculpt done this year instead of facial contouring, along with my primary rhinoplasty.

Thank you for the well wishes! Good luck on your own research!

Thanks Gantz for your well wishes.

I've went to 6 clinics in total for my consultation. They are ruby, dream, baum, mvp, tlps, banobagi as mentioned in my previous post. There are actually quite a few reviews on banobagi, dream, mvp and tlps on tpf if you search abit. So I'll just briefly share my experience here


Ruby: 4.5-5 million won (open primary rhino + alar base reduction + tiplasty using ear cartilage)

-It's a one floor clinic with posh interior. The consultant who attended to me was quite friendly and not pushy at all. I waited for around 15-20 mins before i got to see the doctor and the actual consultation with the doctor lasted only 5-10 mins before the doctor had to rush off (probably to surgery or something). I didn't really probe much as well because i didn't really consider ruby seriously cause it's more well-known for its double eyelids surgery. Just went ruby to accompany my friend who was interested in del surgery.


Dream: 3.5 million won (closed primary rhino + tiplasty using ear cartilage)

-As mentioned in many other reviews, dream has a clean and professional looking interior. I actually quite like the vibe given by dream. The consultant was very friendly as well. When i reached there, there're a few people waiting but not crowded at all. I was brought to the consultant by the translator and after talking to the consultant who briefly introduced to me the areas that needed to be done as well as how it would be done, i was brought to Dr park after waiting for 5-10 mins. Dr park was very friendly and patient in explaining to me the procedure. He could speak english as well though not very fluent. I actually quite like the idea of a closed rhinoplasty cause there'd be less/no visible scarring and the price dream offered me was quite reasonable. However, in the end i did not choose dream because i felt that the width of my nose was quite big but Dr. park said he would not recommend alar base reduction.


Banobagi: 5.5-6.5 million won (open primary rhino + alar base reduction + tiplasty using ear cartilage)

-Banobagi was packed with people the moment i entered the clinic and i waited quite a while before getting attended to. The translator was super friendly though. Before seeing the doctor, the translator brought me to take some pictures and then i had a consultation with the consultant. After the consultation with the consultant, I was brought to see the doctor. The consultation with the doctor was kind of brief, probably cause they are really very busy. The doctor suggested me other procedures like fat grafting and chin filler/implant to be done together with my nose to improve my overall appeal.


Tlps: 5.5-6.5 million won (open primary rhino + alar base reduction + tiplasty using ear cartilage, septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage)

-I waited the longest at tlps, probably close to an hour before seeing the doctor. The doctor sounded really knowledge and was patient in explaining to me the details. However he suggested using donor rib cartilage on top of my ear cartilage and septal cartilage and was the only one who suggested that procedure. Personally i feel that I do not need so many cartilage even though my nose is pretty flat. Hence I did not choose tlps as well.


Mvp: 3.5-4 million won (open primary rhino + alar base reduction + tiplasty using ear cartilage and septal cartilage)

-The clinic is a one floor clinic. When I arrived, there's a few customers. There was this lady with super nice nose but i do not know if she did it at mvp or just accompany her friend for consultation. haha. The consultation was super friendly and not pushy. I waited 30 mins before i got to see the doctor. The doctor sounded very knowledgeable as well but sounded a bit rush through the consultation. The price offered by Mvp was very reasonable as well. However, when I asked for BA pictures of similar cases like mine (bulbous wide nose), the consultant kept showing me pictures of revision cases and emphasized that if the doctor could do such a good job for revision nose, then primary rhinoplasty would definitely not be a problem. Without BA pictures, I do not know what to expect hence I did not choose Mvp also.


Baum: 3.38 million won (open primary rhino + alar base reduction + tiplasty using ear cartilage and septal cartilage)

-Baum is a clinic introduced by my friend and its actually quite new. It's a one floor clinic as well, however the clinic is very clean and gave me a good vibe when i entered. The consultant was friendly as well. Before seeing the doctor, I had a CT scan and a consultation with the consultant. The consultant provided me with quite a lot of useful insights that the previous consultants did not tell me. She was quite honest as well and told me it is important to pick a doctor i trust. After consultation with the consultant, the doctor came to see me. He looks really young and i was doubtful about his skills at first. However, later when i asked the consultant, she told me Dr park was previously from braun and shimmian and had 13 years of experience. During the consultation, it was only me, my sister and Dr park because Dr park speaks really good english hence there's no need for translator. He was very patient during the consultation and gave off the trustable vibe so in the end i decided to go with Baum. Baum also provided me with good aftercare (i supposed haha), like after my surgery i was given pumpkin porridge to eat before i leave the clinic. Whenever my medicine or bandage ran out, the consultants would always top it up for me without any additional charges. What reassured me is the fact that Dr park was the one who did my stitch removal as well as cotton bud removal (2 days after surgery). Personally i chose a doctor whom i trust and a clinic which gave me a good vibe. However, as i'm still in the midst of recovering, hence I would not give any recommendation to anyone.


Tlps and banobagi are both big clinics hence it explained the expensive prices. In terms of the vibes that the clinic and doctors gave me, personally i would rate them like this: Baum>Dream>Mvp>Tlps>Ruby>Banobagi. However, this is all based on my personal feelings and the consultations i had with them. Everyone would have different experiences hence you have to go for consultation to judge for yourself!

Cheers (:

Hello, guys! First of all, sorry for my English, its not my mother tongue. I would like to do rhino, DES revision and cheeckbone reduction. Here are my pics with and without make up. Can you, please, advise do I need a cheekbone reduction for sure? As far as it's so hard invasive (and rather expensive) operation and also I'm afraid of sagging after some time (cos where they put an extra skin after reducing half of face ?). Whether the risk is justified?

 

[anyuta1980]

Oh, sorry(( I'm new here, have no enough skills using it

You look very pretty and I wouldn't suggest the cheekbone reduction on you. You have nice features and your cheekbones make you look more exotic and unique. Just my opinion but we all see flaws in ourselves that others do not see.

I visited a lot of ps when I was in Korea last year for consultation my rhino.
I think daprs was good impression. and view also fine.
Visit both hospitals. i recommend you

Thank you, dear! I thought a lot, and now I don't want it to do. But now I'm thinking about mentoplasty, to make my chin a bit protruded and harmonized. I think I have begins cheek ptosis because of this. So now the question is, which clinic is best for it? Cos I don't like tipical V line, which most Korean surgeons do. They do to much V shape... And I like smth like this:

I think adding length and projection to your chin would be a good idea to balance your face, however I'd try out the look first by getting chin filler before doing surgery.
