miknomis Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Hello, nice to meet you. I hope you all could help me with some questions I had. I've read somewhere that plastic surgery clinics tend to give more expensive prices to international customers, maybe since they don't know better? Does anyone have any more information regarding this? I'm Korean American I can speak Korean and have friends living in Korea who I can maybe bring along with me to a consultation, I wonder if that's "enough" so to speak. How did you manage to choose a clinic? I narrowed down that I want to go somewhere in the Gangnam/Apgujeong area, but even then there's hundreds of clinics, and then a bunch of doctors in each clinic. I'm going to do a lot to my nose. I broke it twice as a kid and both times didn't see a doctor and just let it heal on its own. I'm going to have them break it again and reposition it, remove hump, tip augmentation, and most importantly properly fix my deviated septum. Does anyone know of a good ENT/rhinoplasty doctor that has high skill with the functional aspect of deviated septums and breathing? Thanks.
miknomis Posted April 1, 2018 Author Posted April 1, 2018 Sorry, I realized that my first two questions were basically answered by the very helpful thread "The Ultimate Plastic Surgery Clinic guide in Seoul, Korea" # If anyone has any advice for #3 still. Thanks.
eurasianbeauty Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Research, research, research. Everyone has a unique situation and you need to research what clinic and doctor is best for yours. Many clinics don't care if your local or foreign, tbh. Just have to look for them. There are over 2500 clinics in Seoul, so take your time. It's better than requiring multiple surgeries.
miknomis Posted April 1, 2018 Author Posted April 1, 2018 Thanks for the response. Do you guys have a certain resource you go to to look up doctors and what they're good at or known for?
eurasianbeauty Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Honestly Google is your friend. You can find a lot by literally putting what you are looking for into it. I also use realself and soyoung.
fh1fk23 Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Each dr has a different style, checking b/a pics will help a lot
miknomis Posted April 2, 2018 Author Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks, will check it out. Do you know to what extent if it's true that before/after photos are photoshopped?
eurasianbeauty Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 The ones the clinics post can be. The ones on SoYoung, babitalk, etc. by the patients themselves aren't.
miknomis Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Good thing I joined here there's a lot of good info I couldn't have thought of all this on my own.
lemmetellu Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 If you can understand Korean, then I suggest you look on Korean sites for clinics instead of English forums... if what you're looking for are clinics that cater to locals. Like 80% of the clinics I see posted here on this forum cater to foreigners.
kellyz Posted April 15, 2018 Posted April 15, 2018 Anyone going to South korea end of April to May? message me to Kakao
lemmetellu Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 You can kind of see in my post history.. I started a thread to talk about how I did my research. Basically I went on Naver and looked up blog postings, cafes, and also asked around to friends and family.
