helloheymee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I am looking for a place where I can get my FC and Rhino done in Seoul, Korea. Since there are so many plastic surgery hospitals, I need serious recommendation and honest honest opinions. GNG or Cinderella or Dream? Please!!!!! Help!!!!
nurcihan Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I’m actually looking for the same. My first choice is Cinderella.
taylor-lee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Cinderella!? A friend of mine that's a local in korea advised me to definitely avoid them...and Dream, to be frank :/ I've personally been trying to decide myself, through recommendations from a korean friend... as I'm interested in Rhinoplasty and Cheekbone Reduction. So far my options are Migo, Rococo and VIP... My friend from korea has helped me ask around her local friends that have had procedures done before. Where did you here about GNG? Any good reviews?
nurcihan Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Yes I heard the same from friends and reviews but there is the twins case Sonia and Celia that it’s amazing and some other reviews. That’s why I have my hopes with Cinderella but I know is not definitely as there are also bad reviews. I’m looking for Vline and rhinoplasty. I’m thinking to take the surgeries separately and find a good one for each procedure.
cherrylover Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Hi, I am from states and got my rhinoplasty(+osteotomy),ptosis correction and fat graft at GNG about a year ago. Had hard time recovering but now it's been almost 1 year after the surgery and I love the result and the staffs and doctors at GNG. I was really a baby and kept asking them tons of questions during my recovery but they comforted me and explained well about my condition so I am here to pay off their service and patience. I was actually considering GNG and ID Hospital but my classmate recommended me to go to GNG because her cousin is in Korea who said ID has shady doctors so I ended up choosing GNG after contemplating for about 3 months because they filmed my surgery as my request. When you choose the place for your surgery, I highly recommend you to go to a hospital not a clinic since the facility,service and how they cope with emergency situation etc are totally different. I get worried easily and wanted to make sure my safety equally as the result. And she said Koreans don't go to Cinderella clinic cuz they significantly botched many cases(I am not talking about not meeting satisfaction level but real disaster) but also the nurses are not officially qualified and had birthday party in the surgery room. Are you kidding? I was shocked when I heard about that. Anyway, I don't know much about Dream so I can't really say about them. One more tip is you should ask a real person who actually had surgery and hear about their experience. Because those who satisfied with the result won't bother talking about it like me but only those who is not satisfied with the result will gossip about it. And if you are not sure where to go, I recommend you to visit them in person to get face to face consultation and follow your gut feeling.
helloheymee Posted August 20, 2018 Author Posted August 20, 2018 I've heard from people in the forum and through couple of my acquaintances that GNG is a ENT specialized hospital so they are extremely good with rhinoplasty since they know the structure of the nose so well. Also, for facial contouring, I heard the new doctor named Dr. Cho is very experienced so I am planning to check it out for consultation!
helloheymee Posted August 20, 2018 Author Posted August 20, 2018 so no Cinderella I guess...since bad reviews...are you considering GNG?
taylor-lee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 In terms of credibility and transparency of the Doctors, I am leaning towards Migo Plastic Surgery... My korean friend has made a good point to me recently that for foreigners like us, its the way these hospitals market themselves to make them appear grand and have prestige quality, but apparently none of her local friends would ever trust places like ID, Wonjin, Cinderalla (not even very heard of to locals apparently), Jewelry, Grand, etc., I've also heard alot about ghost surgeries, and as much as i acknowledge korea for their advanced plastic surgery skills, I can't seem to trust them easily... but apparently Migo has live cctv for guardians to see whether the Doctor actually performs the surgery himself and all, so thats reassuring.
taylor-lee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 So GNG filmed you to to assure you your procedure undergone with your responsible doctor! Do they have english assistance at GNG? I find that there's always some form of clarity issues when theres a language barrier... and these procedures aren't just a simple treatment to me. So far, I've been online consulting with various places to check whether or not they can communicate with me...
taylor-lee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 According to my friend and her peers, thats what they do, only select the rare but good cases to show case, but locally they are apparently quite known for false advertisement and botched cases... I think its a good idea that you are looking for "surgeons" for each procedure you want to undergo, whether that may be at once place or two. I only know really understand we should be looking for the responsible doctors reviews, not the hospitals.
cherrylover Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I was actually considering that too but all the hospital/clinic where I got online consultation said because of swelling and shorten the recovery time, you have to get the surgery at once in the same place and under one sedation. Otherwise, it is hard to see the shape once you get swelling and too much anesthesia is not good for you. And from my experience, swelling and bruising start from the night of your surgery to 2nd days after the surgery. From my experience, I had the maximum swelling on the 3rd day. I wasn't expecting this to come even though it was inevitable.
taylor-lee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Yes, @cherrylover is totally right on that part--too much anesthesia is not good for you... so what my friend has told advised me to either take on the procedures separately, and give it time apart, (easier if it was breast and nose, or smt like that.), but otherwise find a hospital that has board certified surgeons that specialize in different fields--and it makes sense because they are specializing in what they are good at. Of course, you would have to check out their work and credibility individually too. As far as my research and online consultation with Migo Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kang Eun taek specializes in Rhinoplasty and Facial Contouring... and I've seen some reviews that he's really great with Rhinoplasty, even revisions and Cheekbone reduction. I'm quite in luck in my case! I've booked a face to face consultation with them too.
taylor-lee Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Seems like you're interested in the same Area of surgery as me.. check out Migo plastic surgery too! they've really got my attention as of now! you might too. And also Rococo as they very much specialize in Rhinoplasty too apparently!
helloheymee Posted August 20, 2018 Author Posted August 20, 2018 I might check out GNG first for an in-person consultation but I would definitely consider migo Oh by the way, any bad reviews for GNG that you've been hearing. Just wanted to make sure before I go in.
