This is my review during consultation for my revision rhinoplasty in Korea.

Fairly, I should explain my nose condition, my skin is rough and thick, fat, bulbous and short. Ive done my first surgery when I was 16 and its just a silicon inserted, no cutting of fats and skins before.

1. WONJIN
I am connected to wonjin by a friend who always talk so highly about wonjin, she did help me making reservation too. I assume she is an agent for wonjin.

Somehow after reading about wonjin in here, I already knew I wont be doing it there. But I still coming thinking the agent is a friend of mine. How bad can it be.

Prior arrival, my friend said I will be picked up with the limo, and I ask if I don’t want to do it in wonjin, isnt it not nice? She said, well you can just pay for it, 100k then they will deduct it from the surgery fee. It’s the service. But I rejected it anyway.

I arrived in seoul with my partner at 10am, and wonjin put me at 11am appointment, I told them its impossible, I wont make it there, the immigrations, customs etc, then they reschedule it into 2pm.
I arrived hotel at 12 noon, checkin, showered. It was raining, I havent eaten any of my lunch and I arrived at 2.30, since I was late I was told to wait. The reception was messy, it looks like a fashion studio.

They told me the consultation will take TWO HOUR. I asked if we are still waiting, we will just go for a quick bite, they said we must be back latest by 4.
So we did. They took my passport (the only one among all clinic who copied my passport right away.)

They were saying they prefer foreigner because they treat foreigner like VIP, the president daughter which they cant mention which country do it with them and extend her stay to do it with wonjin.

They said Wonjin is the biggest and no. 1 in the whole korea.
They matched me with a doc who only take VIP guests, as what they say.

Then comes the doctor, who said my nose will be a challenge to him, he will cut my rib cartilage, put it in my nose. My ear cartilage isnt strong enough for my bulbous tip.

Before surgery I will be xrayed, ct scan. I will be put under General anesthesia. having my nose done will take 5hours and it’s a super complicated things to do.

They quote me 18.000.000 won. Yes you read it right 18mill won. Which is around 16k usd?
But if I want to do it tomorrow morning they'll give me discount, so it will be 15.000.000 won. And they can give me extra bonus like face massage.

I insisted I'll need to think about it first, as I dont have spare nose.

It's no coincidence that clinics always say they are "all booked up" but "we just so happened to have an opening today!". This is the classic "create a sense of urgency" type of marketing.

I joined a KK group, and they were mentioning about a clinic called MIGO. and I really wish I can do it there. so I booked a ticket right away.

I was sure I will be doing it with Migo. On my way there I visited JJ, walked in. I was ignored and not welcome. I left and blacklist JJ for my whole life.

I then consulted with Migo. Although Dr kang was sweet, but His team wasnt. the translator seems not sincere. The clinic was run down too. I know not everyone afford to rent a good clinic, so I think as long as the doc is great with a great CS why not. They give me a good price, just a few thousand won to pay for the CT scan.

apparently before I made a down payment, they rushed me to take blood as they're closing. the nurse was rough and giving a tired face when taking my blood for the test, she poked me wrongly. Then goes the consultant, she took off her jacket and wanted to try to drew some blood on my hand. which I reject. She wasnt a nurse.

I then told them to stop the noises and I will rethink to do it with them, because it was a simple chaos just to take a blood. I also said its so unprofessional. The nurse then throw the used needle she used to poked me to the new needles and blood drawing kit. I was in total shock.

So I left. I was so sad because I like dr Kang. but apparently I doesnt want to get some diseases after getting a nice pretty nose.

Ps. even though I paid for the CT, they dont allowed me to take photo or take any result of the CT.

Wow, putting a used needle with the “new” needles to be used for future blood drawing is horrible.

I usually still give clinics a chance even if I hear negative experiences, but Migo’s insanitary practice is completely unsanitary, dangerous, and unacceptable.

I thought Migo was a good clinic but this completely put me off.

In fact I was already shocked when i read how the consultant wanted to help to draw blood! She isn't medically trained as a nurse! The nurse should have stopped her. How unethical!
