My Personal Experience @ DA Clinic (DAPRS)

Here you go-


Skip to 10:24. My Thai isn't very good, so I was unsure if it's in DA-- but she did mention that it was the same doctor who operated on her.

OMGGGGG!!! yes at 10:24 she mentioned that another Thai woman died in the clinic with same doctor who did the surgery for her.

Right now I'm doing research like crazy because I want to go for surgery in January. DA is forever out of my list!!!
We only have one face and one life!!! Please do more research girls!!

How come I didn't hear about this in the news? DA is my first choice too! I was planning on going in January. I emailed them about a week a go and no reply, yet.
Are you going alone Tiffany? I'm currently in Thailand, but will be going back to Ireland soon. Hey if you need a travel buddy in Jan-- let me know

Oh so coincident!!! I’m planning to go there in Jan too but I haven’t decided what hospital I should go. Sigh.. Soooo difficult to make a decision.
Btw my BF will accompany me to Korea but let’s exchange our contact! Do you have Line or Kakao? We can discuss more about plastic surgery ^^

I need to get my Thai friend to translate the video. This scares me a lot. I'm planning to do zygoma next March and news like this is very off putting and discouraging. But it's good that would-be patients know about this case so they can make an informed decision whether or not to go to DA for surgery. I'm not going to DA, I'm going to View, but stuff like this can happen anywhere.

Hey Tiffany,

My LINE ID is 1988tjpj

Yes that's true it could happen anywhere. I'm now left with having to find new clinics-- although can't lie I'm still very interested in D.A. It's been a week and they haven't contacted me back.

Hi Oreo,
I've been reading some of your previous post on View. Did you ever post your before and after? I'm now interested in them after reading your post (s).I'm looking to do facial contouring and double eye-lid surgery.

DO NOT go to DA, it's the worst clinic ever...! This is based on my experience with them for over a year... i held myself back to give any bad/negative opinions but the facts are too much. Not only the people who work there keep changing (consultants, translators), but they also don't seem to care about the patient's well being. More to the profits and how much money they can get out of you. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH first, i really think most of the posts about DA are advertising now. I did not do much research before, only read some threads that contains "DA has no complaints" or "DA is good for facial contour and fat graft", and decided to do mine there. Seriously the worst decision of my life. Here's my background story

Do you mind if I ask which doctor in DA that made unsatisfied result on your face?

 

[choijaeyoung]

Every clinic has some accidents, however, without much proof we cannot despice a clinic. Clinics like grand and ID often have people protesting. Also the clinic mentioned wasn't DA.

Hi everyone,

***My name is Tina and I wanted to share my plastic surgery experience in Korea with DA Plastic Surgery. I was NOT paid or sponsored to advertise the clinic. You may see my before/after pictures on the clinic’s social media sites, but I volunteered for the staff to use them because I had such a positive experience. I just saw that another user posted her review on DA and she was a selected as a model for the clinic. I'll be giving you my perspective as an ordinary patient.***

BACKGROUND:
3 years before:
I went to a large well-known plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam. I had non-incisional eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty, and rhinoplasty using a silicone implant and my own nasal cartilage for the tip. I had typical small eyes vertically and laterally. The consultant recommended non-incisional and I liked that it involved less healing time. My original nose was quite short so the doctor recommended lengthening it. My experience with this clinic was the typical “factory” experience.

3 years later:
My eyes were very droopy and uneven. The epi was noticeably uneven as well as the eyelids. I was in obvious need of ptosis correction too. My nose tip became droopy and looked even more short than originally. It was also crooked and lacked any definition or shape. I HATED my nose and eyes so much. It was a little depressing seeing pictures of myself and I didn’t like looking at myself in the mirror. I would never go back to that clinic even if they fixed it for free.

Spring/Summer 2016:
I started researching clinics for revision double eyelid and rhinoplasty. I narrowed it down to TLPS and Wonjin. Then I came on PurseForum. I saw a lot of posts mentioning TLPS, Wonjin, ID, View, MVP, Trend, Banobagi, etc. However there was one clinic I kept seeing pop up which was DAPRS. I had never heard of it before, but I noticed that users kept saying positive things about DA mainly in regards to facial contouring. I never thought about doing facial contouring before, but when I looked at the website I was so impressed with their results. They were dramatic, but not plastic monster looking. I did an online consultation request for eyes/nose revision and I received a quick reply the next day. Their English consultant was also very fluent so it made me feel even better. I don’t know about all of you, but my first impression of a clinic begins as soon as I contact them. Many other clinics took too long to reply or their lack of English ability made me uncomfortable. At this point my feeling toward DA was a good one.

My main point of contact was through a staff member named Sky. I could not have gone through this experience without her. She makes herself available for any questions/concerns and speaks English very well. She’s incredibly sweet and pretty—looks like doll! When I arrived at the clinic I also met another English-speaking staff member named Sarah who is also very helpful and friendly. I think a big part of why I enjoyed my time at DA was because of Sky and Sarah. I definitely plan to stay in contact with both of them because they’re two of the coolest people you will ever meet. I confirmed my arrival date with Sky and she set up my consultation. Easy!

CONSULTATION DAY:
DA clinic is super easy to find and in a great location. I first met Sarah one of the English speaking staff members. She introduced herself and walked me into the clinic to help me get settled. The overall vibe of the clinic is clean and relaxing. It has a nice modern interior that makes you feel welcomed. I filled out my paperwork and then waited to consult with the doctors. At this point something took a hold of me. I originally came for just eye and nose revision. However, I thought since I’m here and Dr. Lee is one of the best surgeons in the world for facial contouring…I might as well? At this point I said to myself “why not?” and opted for a breast consultation too. #YOLO! After taking my “before” pictures it was time to meet the doctors. I was a little nervous, but I was feeling really good about everything once I was actually there in person.

Consult w/ Dr. Lee (facial contouring):
Dr. Lee is the head of the clinic and one of the most talented surgeons for facial contouring. When I first met him I was surprised because he was quite young looking and actually pretty cute! Usually you’d expect an old and grumpy looking doctor to be the boss, but not in this case I told him that I didn’t want a super fake look and I definitely didn’t want a pointy chin. He agreed and said that I didn’t need zygoma reduction because my face wasn’t that wide to begin with. He suggested slimming my jaw, moving my chin forward, and doing some fat grafting. He wasn’t pushy and didn’t suggest unnecessary procedures. I definitely have a lot of respect for him because his results with previous patients are absolutely stunning.

Consult w/ Dr. Ahn (rhinoplasty):
Later I met with Dr. Ahn who did my rhinoplasty. He suggested lengthening my nose, which I 100% agreed with. He said that he would extend the tip of my nose because it was short and that the bridge was already high enough. The tip extension would be done through donated cartilage. I was a little nervous about this consult in particular because I hated my previous nose so much, but Dr. Ahn made it clear what he could achieve and that I wouldn’t be disappointed!

Consult w/ Dr. Jang (eyes):
Dr. Jang is the only woman surgeon at the clinic and she is super cool—she’s like Superwoman! She also speaks English very well so I didn’t need Sky or Sarah to translate. She noted that my previous double eyelid surgery and epi were not done very well and that she would do her best to correct it. Dr. Jang recommended ptosis correction along with incisional double eyelid surgery. We also agreed to extend the outer corners too. She’s very meticulous with her work so I felt really good knowing that she was going to operate on me.

Consult w/ Dr. Koo (breast):
Dr. Koo does DA’s breast augmentations. I thought about getting implants before in the U.S., but I was always scared it would look too big and fake. When I looked at Dr. Koo’s before/after pictures I immediately wanted him to do my breast augmentation. He has a good eye and knows what will look good on your body. He helps you achieve balance with your body proportions. I tried on a couple implant sizes using a bra. He went over the different types of implants, saline vs. silicone, teardrop vs. round, inframmary incision (under breast) vs. transaxillary incision (armpit). He definitely knows what will work best for you, so he helped guide me through these decisions. I ended up getting round silicone implants with an inframmary incision and we decided to go with 354cc. My implants are also made by Natrelle which is a high quality brand approved by the FDA and commonly used in the U.S.

It was a long day because I was getting so many surgeries, but I felt confident that I was in good hands. All of the doctors are extremely talented and knowledgeable. Of course they have busy schedules, but I never felt rushed. They made me feel comfortable by giving their honest opinions and assuring me that they would perform surgery with great care and safety. At the end of the day, their goal is simple: they want to make you look good.

I’m not going to post prices of the surgeries publicly. This is because everyone’s body is different and the prices will vary from case to case depending on severity. If you’re really concerned with costs, definitely email the clinic for an estimate with your pictures. I can honestly say they don't overcharge foreigners.

Surgery, recovery, and my concluding thoughts will be in the next post!
