mintsweet Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 As a heavy body and face possessor, I decided that I cant take the fat friends forever in my life, so I decided to get rid of them this December. I am going to do lipo for belly, thigh, arm and face double chin and cheek. Actually my option wasn't only restricted to South Korea, but US is kinda getting tough to get visa thesedays, I heard... I am planning to stay in Korea for about 17 days!! The clinics I have been contacting are Banobagi, 365mc, DAPRS, Fresh and LaPrin. Well they are all quiet friendly for the online consultation, but I dont really like Banobagi...they reply too late to me........ I have made too many inquiries here and there and I am having a lot of headache, tbh.....lol but I am going to narrow down to 3 and visit them. So, I have a few questions. 1) Should I use service like Docfinder? I havent contacted these agencies yet as I read they get commision from my surgery fee but since I am going alone I am scared I cant handle myself after big lipo job. 2) I mean, is it true I can walk around outside after 5 to 7 days? How was your experience? 3) Should I contact somewhere else for the lipo job? Any recommendation? I am so excited but at the same time so scared, I am sorry guys if I have been too blabbering, but I need dire advice please help !! Any advice will be eternally appreciated!

phoebebuffey Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi! I'm going in November - too bad we won't overlap! I've found that sometimes people don't see new threads, and that's why they don't respond. It may be more effective to search for "liposuction" in the forum and then respond to people who have posted about it in the past. Either people who are also asking for more info, or people who have posted their results. They'll get an alert that you responded, and will be more likely to respond back to you! # href="#" class="internalLink"># Also, from my research, I wouldn't use DocFinder Korea personally. Originally I thought it was an awesome concept because they do the legwork for you, but other people have posted and said that Seoul is very easy to navigate as an English speaking tourist, and clinics have English consultants. If you want to bring your own for negotiations, you can hire a translator. The thing I don't like about DFK is that they get a cut of what you pay, meaning the clinics over charge you, and that they seem to recommend the huge clinics like Banobagi, Cinderella, ID...

jess-cook Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi, I did my lower body lipo last March in Seoul where I recommended from my auntie I prefer not to use DocFinderKorea due to the price issue, options for clinics what they offered. They do not mind that whether you do lipo at good clinic but they will give you a lists of clinics what DocFinderKorea did partnership with. So, hard to trust them either as a good agency. Also, Seoul is really cool city I've been - Metro was good to find and easy to go anywhere without any difficulties, there are guide who speaks English helps tourist to find the place easily. Taxi also a good transportation in Seoul. very cheap and fast Even though you lost in the middle of the street, you can contact the staff in clinics they will help you to find out the clinics more safely. BTW, I only did lower body lipo but it was quite okay for me to walk around little bit on the same day of surgery.(Little bit dizzy but it was okay.) If you do entired of body then....I think you better to have a rest rather than go outside.. I did my lipo at Pretty Body Clinic in Cheongdam because my auntie did her breast surgery and belly lipo. My auntie and me are very happy with result now. Most shame of Pretty Body Clinic is no information I can get from online.. The service was good, clinic was quite bigger than what I expected, moreover, the consultant speaks English directly without any translator!!! She was soooo sweet! Hope you have a wonderful consultation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintsweet Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Wow thanks for sharing your story...(appreciate appreciate). Yeaaah, Okay but I was worried about being alone and needing someone's help just in case something comes up, I mean, I am going to some other country, afterall...so I thought about using agency. There's no one who can accompany to Korea for 17 days... I want to also do some consultation with Pretty Body Clinic as well, sounds amazing. I still have plenty of time to do online consultation. @Jess Cook How do I contact them? I can't find their website........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintsweet Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hey @phoebebuffey your cat pic is absolutely cute lol! Too bad we are not overlapping (sob sob) And thank you for your reply...! I was thinking why not start a new thread than recycling other ones hahaha... Maybe I will take your advise and try to get some attention for myself lol! Yes Ikr? The fact DFK gets a cut from my money, and saying their service is free....kind of creepy. But I just needed some assurance that I have someone to help me after heavy body lipo...But I haven't contacted DFK yet tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmhellen Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 @mintsweet I did my Lipo at The Line (https://thelineclinic.com) in the beginning of April by Dr. Jae-Ho Cho. I did my arm and underarm and am very happy with the result. I visited The Line, MVP, and TLPS. I decided on The Line because of the position, small size, and number of incision Dr Cho is able to achieve. Also, the Lipo by Dr Cho is assisted by RF. At MVP, the incision was going to be bigger than I would prefer and the position was going to be in an area thats more visible. At TLPS, the doctor was going to do 2 incisions on each arm which I find unnecessary. Furthermore, the procedure was going to be completely manual with no RF or laser assistance. Dr. Cho also has many YouTube videos where he talked at conferences regarding Lipo, so he seems to be an expert on this field. I am happy with my result, though there are times where I wonder and wish he would have taken out more....Perhaps this is just me being greedy? I trust that Dr. Cho took out the appropriate volume 1) for my shape so that I don't look unproportional and 2) I still have a smooth finish (if you take out too much, the surface can seem irregular and not smooth due to texture of the muscle showing. 4 months on, my scar has faded quite a bit. I reckon in a few more months they will be barely visible. There is still slightly numbing and sore sensation down the lower side of my upper arm, but it has lessened significantly over the last few months. I am visiting the clinic again in a few weeks for Dr Cho to check on my recovering progress. Happy to answer any more questions you may have.

mintsweet Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hi Imhellen Thank you for the extensive review. I would definitely take your review into my consideration. I'm glad you like your result I didn't really like how my inquiries were answered by The Line PS actually, quite curt and all, I guess they are really busy. But then after reading your review I think it would be worth a visit while I'm in Korea. I will be there like 17 + days after all. I am wondering what is this RF you mentioned about tho...? I should check this out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingdifference Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 GOOD LUCK !! yeah. you can walk after 5 to 7 days. the fast recovery is taking walk as possible as far as I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hi! I am also interested in liposuction, especially vaser liposuction for the abdominal area. However, i am unable to find a good plastic surgery clinic for this purpose in this forum. Haiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I was researching Pretty Body online and i found this on misooda website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Oh my! It seems that in general, Korean plastic surgery center charges more than double for foreigners! I went to Naver (Korean website) to search and realised that the center charges 1500 USD for abdominal liposuction. Oh gosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
