bossam Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Hi @lemmetellu, thanks for sharing ur list!! Im interested in shinseung and Ive after seeing ur post. I am wondering if you know of any korean translator? I am not planning to go via the medical tourism agencies but i thought of getting a korean translator. I heard it is better to have someone who speaks korean to go with you so that you have the bargaining power. I am planning to des in next feb but my concern is whether i can secure the surgery with 1-2days after consultation. I heard feb is the peak season for ps. I wish that i can secure the date lst so that i can book the hotel directly near it but now i cant book anything yet since i have to consult the different clinics first before i decide which one to go with.
james129 Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 hey lemmetellu thanks so much for doing something like this. Have you ever heard of a clinic called craypas surgery? I'm not really the best at reading korean, but this is their website, and they seem to have really great results on eyelids https://cafe.naver.com/hannic.cafe?iframe_url=%2FMyCafeIntro.nhn%3Fclubid%3D22193057 I was thinking of going here for sure, but now you make me want to visit Ive. Really can't make up my mind lol. There's so many places to choose from, and it's nearly endless and very time consuming so I think I'll end up going to either of these two. The problem with craypas surgery is I really have no clue whats going on in their website besides being able to view a couple of before and after pictures which I really like. It's also hard to find who the go to doctor is for doing the eyelid surgeries. Regardless, I still feel a strange sense telling me that that place is the right one.. Quick question though, you mention you got nonincision eyelid surgery right? Is it true that nonincision eyelid surgery doesn't last as long as incisional eyelid surgery? I've been hearing some eyelid surgeries only last up to 5-7 years. Sorry for the long post, and thanks again for all you're doing. It was really helpful seeing some new clinics that not only foreigners recommend, but the locals do too.
lemmetellu Posted November 12, 2019 Author Posted November 12, 2019 Hi, Sorry I don't know any Korean interpreters who would be able to help you out unless you are looking to hire like an actual professional (I know several who work for high-level talks and corporations, but they charge like hundreds of dollars an hour). I had my surgery during peak season and I was able to get surgery the same day, but it was because he actually added me as an extra surgery; not because he had space. lol. So maybe you can get lucky (? not sure if other people will also think I was lucky in that sense..) like me and be able to be squeezed in last minute). Sorry, I have never heard of that place, but if you are really set on it I would at least go for a consultation. I did get non-incisional and I did ask my doc about it "unraveling" or whatever, and my doc said that there is almost no chance of that happening. But he did say like don't rub my eyes often/too hard because that would help loosen up the eyes.
lemmetellu Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 I didn't do any online consultations so I'm not sure.. but you send your pic in right? So I guess just what surgeries they suggest, price, how long they take for the surgery, recovery time, any after care services, etc.
m1sstrangle Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Hi Hi Bossam, I'm going this Dec for DES. Shinseung & Ive are on my list. I've booked them for consultation
m1sstrangle Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Hi @lemmetellu Thank you so much for your post. I really enjoyed reading it.
bossam Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Hi @M1sstranggle, Where else other than these 2 clinics r u going for consultation? What kind of DES u planning to do? Mine most likely incisional, ptosis and maybe epi.
m1sstrangle Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Hi @Bossam, Same as you, I'm going to do incisional & ptosis. I've booked a consultation with Grace which was recommended by my Korean friend. Stay in touch. I'll keep you posted.
bossam Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Hi @M1sstrangle, U mind to share ur kakao id? You can add me @ericiism90 Your korean frenz also recommended these 2 clinics?
lemmetellu Posted November 27, 2019 Author Posted November 27, 2019 No I haven't, but it could still be a good clinic! I am not an expert; just giving my experiences so people have more options. I'm glad that it helped you! Let me know how your surgery/consultations go.
stefflie Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Hi, i just want to share My friend (from kakao chat) we’re now currently at korea doing eyelid surgery so we share & chat quite a lot she done the non-incision + ptosis correction at IVE and she need to redo one eyelid because the ptosis correction are not balance after few days healing I don’t say that Dr at IVE done a bad job, at least they tell her to fix right away before leaving (i dont know how much longer she will stay or such but i hope she’s healing fine) but I wouldnt want to redo my eyes after few days healing and need to go through all the swollen all over again Maybe it’s normal for us who do ptosis correction to redo one eye Luckily my incisional DES + ptosis correction turns fine at different clinic Im still very much swollen and will remove my stiches day after tmr I used to feel like maybe i’ve done a bad desicion choosing clinic right away before consulting to 2-3 clinics (IVE was on my list) but i was kinda relieved not choosing IVE when i heard she need to do correction on 1 eye again it’s very hard to choose a clinic & doctors in korea Maybe it’s a matter of luck I sincerely hope all of our surgery turns out successful wherever clinic we choose! ❤️
princessbex Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Guys, is it common for the korean clinics to charge a higher price(20% more) for the head doctor to perform the eyelid surgery ? I have encountered this on a few consultations. Thanks!
lemmetellu Posted December 2, 2019 Author Posted December 2, 2019 Yikes.. that's too bad for your friend. I hope everything goes well with her! How did you friend learn about Ive? This is one of the things I was worried about before writing about my experience here, because just because it went really well for me and other people I know doesn't mean it's always going to go well for everyone. You are the one that went with MVP right? I know in this thread (https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/1007590-des-at-mvp/#post-33470775) you were like the only one that had a good experience with MVP while everyone was talking about how they leave you hanging in their waiting rooms forever and rush you. I mean people all have different experiences and they should go with how they feel about the doc/gut feeling is totally a thing I feel. I'm glad everything went alright with you and you chose the right doc for you! Yea usually doctors charge different prices, but that is normal since they all have different experiences. It is the same thing at hair salons (at least the places I go to in the US and Korea) too.. the head stylist always charges more.
