As I just told to others, I did V-line surgery in View. But I have heard that View is good at rhinoplasty as well. I read some thread in forum. Someone had nose surgery through Dr.Lee don chan(?).. normally they called him Dr.Lee... I can't sure his name now... anyways Dr.Lee. Also who is called Dr.Kim is good at nose job as well. I don't know his full name. Maybe the website states their name. Sometime I also want to have double eyelid surgery thesedays. There is no limit to my desire; beauty....;; What kind of eye surgery do u think?

Do they have English speaker?
Or do you need someone to translate for you???
That's the biggest question...does every clinic have english speakers?

They have english speakers and they mainly helped me communicate with doctors. I guess some clinics which have lots of foreign patiences normally have translators.

@MoonBeam3 I have seen patients get their fat grafts at April31 and DA. Both clinics are fine. I had full face fat graft with Dr Kim at DA, especially to fill out my hollow temples and sunken cheeks. Really works! And yes you will look like a monster for one week post. A tip is that if you gain 5-7 lbs postop, the fat lasts longer as you actually fill out the 50% of fat cells that survive after a month so look like you have 100% of the fat! Heyho I am going back for a top up next week so should be sorted for at least a year. 20s is awfully young for fat graft IMO. But then chubby angelic faces do make one look extremely young!

When did you have your first FG? How much of that fat survived?

MissOrange, thanks for the info. It's interesting 50% of the fat dissolved but came back with weight gain, so the injected fat didn't die but rather they just shrank since your calorie intake wasn't enough to support them. I know they advise not to do intense exercise after FG, maybe they should recommend overeating too?

BTW have you heard if fat saved for months has less chance of survival compared to fat they just harvested and injected?

Have you had filler before to get this added volume in your face? If so, do the results looks the same? If you had to do this yearly because the fat goes away, would you do filler instead since you won't have to deal with lipo scarring, fat cells not surviving, or anesthesia?

For top up FG, I'm pretty sure they use saved fat, that's why they want you to do it within a few months of the initial treatment. It's more expensive if they had to lipo fat out again.

Do you get botox in Korea too? How is the pricing there for it? For fg, it seems the less an area moves the more likely it survives so you may want to do botox before the fg.
