picturethis Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 First of all I apologise for any grammatical mistakes I make. English isn't my first language but I'll try my best to write my plastic journey in Seoul. I'm a trans woman and I decided to have plastic surgery to make me passable as a woman. I know many transgender women go to a surgeon specialised in facial feminization surgery but I decided to have it done in South Korea. Why South Korea do you ask? Because South Korea is "The plastic surgery capital of the world". There is no other place in the world where you can find so many skilled plastic surgeons and clinics in such a small area like Gangnam in Seoul. They have the best surgeons and use the most advanced technology. After researching for a very long time to find the best clinic for my surgeries I found View Clinic. They are popular amongst locals and also attract many international customers. They haven't made a single medical mistake for 13 years and are known for the popular show "Let me in". It's so important to find the best surgeons for your surgery and that's why I chose View Clinic. I decided to have multiple surgeries including double jaw surgery together with V-line and zygoma reduction because I have a very strong jaw line and a big face even bigger than your average guy. I also wanted to have rhino because the nose is so important to make a face look feminine and I was born with a big bulbuous nose. I wasn't sure about double eyelid surgery but after seeing one of the consultants her double eyelid surgery I also wanted the surgery so my eyes would appear bigger. One perk was also so I could use liquid eyeliner which was impossible to make it look good with a mongolian lid. I also decided to have breast augmentation because they are considered one of the best clinics for breast augmentation. The consultation day went great. I met with Dr Yun who would do my double eye lid surgery and double jaw surgery. We discussed in detail about what my ideal face shape is and what would happen. He also showed me a pc image to show how my bonestructure would change. We also discussed my double eye lid surgery. He suggested non incisional double eye lid surgery together with epicanthoplasty but on the surgery date I talked to the doctor I wanted to have full incisional double eye lid surgery instead because I heard non incisional double eye lid surgery has more chance to unravel after a few years. After the consultation with Dr Yun I met with Dr Choi for my breast augmentation. We discussed my wishes and he was very friendly and calm and answered all the questions and concerns I had. We also talked in detail about the different options and what to expect from the surgery. He made suggestions what would be best and I trusted him to make the right decision for my case. Overall I had a good feeling for both consultations and I trust Dr Yun and Dr Choi to make my wishes come true. I wish I could have done all surgeries together but it isn't possible to have both rhino and double jaw surgery together. I will have my rhino in 3 months after double jaw surgery together with my breast augmentation. I haven't met Dr Lee yet for my rhinoplasty but I still have time for the consultation. The surgery was succesful and I'm now 4 weeks postop. I'm happy so far with my results but I'm still recovering. I have to say the aftercare is amazing and the nurses were all very friendly and helped me get through the first 3 days when I was hospitilized. View clinic also let me stay afterwards for 4 days at their VIP room. It's basicly a 5 star hotel room and you get to have breakfast and a free chocomilk with cream from their bar below. I'm not sure if this is standard procedure to give a room for free for several days or maybe because it wasn't peak season and the rooms were free so they allowed us to stay but I really appreciated it. The consultants were all very friendly and made me feel at home, texting me to see how I was doing and they also helped me with any questions I had and helped me extending my visa. Special thanks to Anna who helped me during the whole period and she was like having a friend here in Seoul. To be continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenciamonochromia Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hello there! I'm an Asian trans girl and was really wondering how your surgery went and if you could show any before and after pictures? It would really help because I live in America and I've heard a lot of horror stories with View and am looking for someone who had a good trans girl experience in korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arietta Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Personally I have not heard any horror stories about View, which is precisely why I chose the clinic to do my surgeries. I’m 6 weeks post-op and did FC, eyes and nose. I did a lot of research on PF, KakaoTalk and asked a lot of people about their experiences at View before choosing this clinic. I did not expect to be that well taken care of after my surgery, but I was. View has coordinators and consultants that help you every step of the way. I was lost and couldn’t find the pharmacy, and Views manager personally escorted me to the pharmacy. Even now when I have questions or need something (like my x-rays photos that I forgot to request a copy of while I was in Korea), they reply right away. I know a lot of clinics ignore their patients after they leave Korea, but View is not one of those clinics. They made the whole PS process so easy, especially since it was my first time getting PS and going to a foreign country. I don’t doubt there are good and bad jobs from all clinics, but I haven’t seen a botched job from View yet, and my results are decent so far despite the swelling.
