Plastic Surgery Experience in Korea/Taiwan/SG


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I've been in several forum doing tones of research on different types of surgery. Like anyone else, going to different thread post for the surgery that I would plan to do in the next couples of months. I started my first research for double eyelid revision in the year 2011 because i failed them couples of times. I'm grateful to Purseforum which feed me much information about plastic surgery in Korea. Now I would like to contribute my shares of bit of surgeries result and my plastic surgery journey to this forum. It will be too long winded for me to write my full experience here for each clinic that i ever been to. I will briefly summarize the surgery that I had done and the place that i had visited. I had wrote down my satisfaction level of each of my surgeries.

Attached is my before and after surgery face photo. Do not hesitate to pm me any questions, I'll be most willing to share if that helps on your research.

Hey MissOrange, Dr. Seo is from MVP. Would you recommend him for DES for a newcomer like me? I have under eye bags as well as asymmetrial eyelids. I love your photo btw

Hi SheOnlyLooks25, There was a period of time i gave up for revision. But i doesn't want to settle for that look so i keep researching on grafting and procedure more to understand which are the best procedure and grafting to go for the look that i want to achieve. Researching on clinics is one part of it but the most important thing is to understand what we really need for the surgery and what material of implant to use or what type of procedure can allows us to get the best result with less complication.

Dear Keli, SM Plastic Surgery was a small clinic and mostly known among Koreans. Their post operation care wasn't that fantastic compare to those big hospital or big clinics that comes with huge surgery cost fees. SM Plastic Surgery have 3 doctors and 1 anesthesia doctor. The chef of director surgeon is Dr Lee Mu Young. I would say if people who want to have very major Two jaw surgery or ASO or Tummy Tuck its better to spend a little more seek for bigger clinic/hospital for these procedure. If minor operation personally i feel small clinic is more honest. At least i would say we dont have to be afraid that our surgeon was swapped during the surgery.

Hi MissOrange,

Yup I did shared and honest with forum members that I got my discount from making videos for smps. I guess everyone here does have a certain budget when comes to their surgery price. My boobs revision is kinda of a needs for me due to stage 2 rupture done in Thailand and costing me a huge bomb so i have to do it. I didn't go to SM Plastic Surgery for the price but for the result and experience that Dr Lee Mu Young has ever given me prior to my past surgery experience with him. My relatives and friends has wonderful result with him. Cheryl and Linda has very good result for multiple surgeries too. I'm sorry about MC case, the last post about her review that time she was less than 2 mths post operation. At her age, she may need longer time recuperation since she is doing multiple surgeries. Are you still contacting with her? How is her result now? I believe Dr Lee isn't like other surgeon who ignore patients if needed for a revision. You may wanna check with MC? I had tried messaging her last Dec 2017 too but no reply from her.

Hi ReneRene, I really hope you can reply to my post please!! I see you mentioned that you went to Dr Chung at Eveplastic for epi reversal. May I know if his epi reversal left any scarring? Also, did your original epi surgery leave any scarring?

I did double eyelid surgery and epi in 2013 but the results were unsuccessful and left ugly scars around my eyes area. I went to do revision last year but the results were still unsuccessful. I am planning to do epi reversal this year and then revise my double eyelid again next year but I'm also very fearful on the other hand due to my previous unsuccessful surgeries.

thanks for your honesty! It's scary when you hear of a lot of clinics doing doctor swapping/shadow doctors :sad:. I eventually would like to get BA, so your results look A++, and I'll consider SM for my consultations :smile:

Hi keli, im heading seoul in end August for fatgraft to my breast. Im thinking of wanting a bigger cup size. As previously Dr Lee mentioned that my rib cage width is too narrow to have bigger implant so now i already max out the space for bigger implant so im going for fatgrafting to up a little volume. My previous BA at SM Plastic Surgery was really painless. More like aching feel after my surgery. On post operation 2nd day i was able to lift my hand up to shower. I did underarm incision. If your BA is first time you may get a good nego with them. Mine was a complicated revsion. SM Plastic Surgery Korea email : [email protected]

Thanks for the email! I'll be in Seoul Early September for some consultations (fillers, mesotheraphy and prices for chin implant - this one is longer term since I need to save up funds). I might go to SM and see what they say/what the cost would be for BA. If you dont mind me asking, what size were you before, what are you now, and how big are you going to go with fat graft?
