mintsweet Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Aw really? wow I knew we foreigners have to pay extra for the surgeries so its not a big news, but indeed the difference is like,triple.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yes. I am surprised too. If i were to add up all the costs e.g. liposuction surgery, hotel, air tickets, its about the same price if i were to do it in Sg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I contacted Pretty Body using Kakaotalk. I texted them in Korean and the person asked me if i am a Korean or Foreigner. I guess there must be a difference in the pricing. I had an urge to tell a white lie that i am a Korean to find out the price that Koreans pay. Oh well.

saddreamer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hey! If I go for surgery it will be in December too so we should try and have our dates overlap and we can maybe share accommodation for recovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddreamer Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Omg you should do it, if you’re Asian and they find out you can say your parents are Korean or something lol I don’t have that option since I’m white haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortunecat Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Laprin quoted me a much lower price than PrettyBody for abdominal liposuction. However, it might be a mistake on their part because i texted them in Korean and they replied me with the amount. Hence, I asked them if the price is applicable to foreigners and they answered yes.

emily870 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Has anyone here had their lipo yet? If you have, how does it feel? I am really nervous about the pain I am currently in Seoul.... currently going around for consultations at various places but haven't really decided where yet.

phoebebuffey Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I got arm lipo 2 weeks ago in Seoul. It was more strenuous than I thought it would be - the most painful of any of my surgeries. I wouldn't say the pain is typical "pain" - but it's extremely uncomfortable. The first day, it felt as though I had worked out HARD for the first time in years. Like, Crossfit levels. For arms they made two incisions (per arm): above my elbow and on my back. My back and arms were so sore that it was uncomfortable to find a way to lay down without pain. In the beginning they cover the stitches with bandaids and then ace wraps, until you get a compression garment. A few times my bandaids moved and I felt like the stitches on my back got caught in my shirt, it was pretty gross. Once the compression garment was on, it was better... it felt like everything was held in and helped manage swelling and pain. For the first few days I was SO swollen. The ace wraps went from my shoulder to my elbows, and my forearms, wrists, and hands got extremely swollen. My skin felt really tight, and almost itchy. I would wake up in the middle of the night unable to sleep because of it, and I tried elevating / icing them. I assumed lipo was an "easy" surgery, maybe because of how mainstream it seems to be, especially in the US. I would get liposuction again if I needed/wanted to "spot-treat" an area (stomach, maybe), but probably not full body lipo all at once. (Though I met a girl while I was in Korea who did get full body and seemed fine a few weeks later.) Like I said, I'm 2 weeks post-op now... my upper arms are a little numb but there's no pain in my arms/elbows. I do have some twinges of pain/soreness in my back still around the incisions.

emily870 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Thank you for your reply and I hope you are recovering well, phoebebuffey Gosh hearing this makes me quite nervous... But I guess no pain no gain lol. I am going for a full body lipo. To make it worse because I have a bit more fat the surgery needs to be divided into two times ( for a safer procedure). How did you feel when you woke up from the surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebebuffey Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I was super worried about the surgery mainly because of anesthesia. Because I was doing arm lipo and a bunch of facial surgeries, they had to start the sedation with me laying on my stomach, then wake me up and have me roll over. This FREAKED ME OUT !! I didn't want to 'wake up' in the middle of surgery. I actually began to cry right before going under because I was so scared of waking up in the middle or remembering what happened. But as it turns out, I don't even remember falling asleep. One minute I was on my stomach looking at the clock, the next I was waking up to them bandaging my forehead. Apparently they woke me up in the middle of my surgery and I rolled over myself with no help, but I don't remember at all. Something I will say is: because I was nervous about anesthesia I wanted to go somewhere where they had a full time anesthesiologist, rather than someone they hire to come in for surgery days. Also, I went under with a double sleep sedation, rather than general anesthesia. But it's all about what will make you feel more comfortable!

fortunecat Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I had my LAMS at 365mc. The experience was okay as I was only doing my abdomen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
