Hello everyone !

2 Months ago I had plastic surgery in Seoul through Misooda at Hyundai Mihawk Clinic, and since my experience has been quite positive, I wanted to share my journey with you :smile:

FINDING A CLINIC WITH MISOODA
So 6 months ago I was looking for a clinic to have multiple procedures of plastic surgery in Seoul. I began to ask for a lots of quotations directly to clinics through mail and Kakao Talk. But the prices were always too high for me.
Finally, I ended up asking a quotation through Misooda after seeing their promotions for a rhinoplasty, eyes fat removal and fat grafting on their website.
(Just for the record: Misooda is not a plastic surgery clinic, it is a government licensed Medical Tourism Corporation who has arrangment with good reputations clinics to guarantee the lowest price on your quotation. When you contact them, you send them pictures of your desired intervention zone, that they send to clinics of their choice to negociate a global price and they come back to you to propose a few quotations to the best price they can have.)
I must confess that I was very sceptical at first, cause I didn't find any review on the net about them, and I thought they were fake because their promotions were too attractive to be real.
Well, I was completely wrong.
I communicated with Miss Miu (Misooda's employee) through Kakao Talk, and we ended up on two quotations by two clinics for the same procedures. I choose Hyundai Mihawk for this procedures and prices :

- Rhinoplasty (Full + Bump Removal + Deviated septum)
- Under eyes fat removal
- Full Face fat graft (Chin, cheeks, smile line, under eyes, forehead, temples)
- PRP
- Thread Lift
- Lip Filler
For 13 000 000 Wons (11 500 USD)
Once I agreed to that, I received a bill through Paypal for 10% of the total price to book my surgery date (on the 17th of july 2018).
At this point, Miss Miu regularly took news from surgery through Kakao, but it is the clinic who took care about the rest.

CONTACT WITH HYUNDAI MIHAWK
A few weeks before my trip, I contacted Hyundai through Kakao to settle the details for surgery day. Sky, who was my adorable translator at the clinic, arranged a free pick up service from airport to my airbnb for the day of my arrival and the day of my departure.

DAY BEFORE SURGERY
I had a first consultation the day before the surgery with Doctor Jeong to confirm what will be done exactly (from where will they collect fat for fat graft, the area where I will be filled, the interventions on my nose, how will the thread lift will be pulled to fix a little assymetry from left side on my face). At this point, I was really scared that the price might change from visual, but it stayed the same. Doctor even proposed free botox intervention around the eyes before I fly back to France.
Then I was told to come the day after at 9am for surgery.

DAY OF SURGERY
On the day of surgery, when I arrived at 9am, I was told to change, wash my face, rince my mouth. Then Doctor Jeong drew lines on my face and butt (for fat collecting), and I entered the surgery room few minutes later.
I was told surgery last about 4 or 5 hours. But for me, as long as I have been put to sleep, it last just one second.
I woke up really great compared to the major surgery I had been through, no major pain except from left side of my lower face where the thread lift had been pulled to fix my assymetry. I just felt tired and a little like "drunk". No nausea, no headache.
I could go home about three hours after surgery, Sky gently called a taxi for me.

DAY 1
The swelling began the day after surgery. I haven't slept really well during that night because my nose didn't stop bleeding, and I was forced to sleep on my back (I usually sleep on my side) with head up, which was very uncomfortable for me ! Also, the area where my fat was collecting was painful (that was the most painful zone from my surgery).
I had to go back to the clinic on that day at 2PM to remove the first bandages of my nose and cheeks. Nurse gently cleaned my face and replaced the bandages. I could come home right after.

FROM DAY 2 TO DAY 7
The major swelling last about 7 days. The one from my nose (under eyes) disappeared about 5 days after surgery. The one from face fat graft about 7 days. But like it was really really hot in Korea this year and that I didn't want to stay home, some of my swelling last a bit longer.
I went back to clinic on day 4, 6 and 7. I had de-swelling injections on day 4, and they removed the big bandage on my nose and the stitches from thread lift on day 7.

FROM DAY 7 TO DAY 14
On day 7, bandages from forehead fat grafting was removed. At the beginning, my forehead really looked weird cause it was really swollen, I didn't like the result at all and was really scared it stays that way. Swelling in this area last about 12 days, as long as the bruises from thread lift. I went back to clinic regularly to try to make it de-swelled with led masks and free skin care. Finally on day 12, I looked like a human again, and could began to see the result : I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT (through my nose was still swollen at the tips and looked like a potatoe).

FROM DAY 14 TO DAY 30
From day 10 I noticed that my lip filler made a little lump on the middle of my upper lips. I warned the clinic, who told me to massage it for 3 days, and if it didn't go, they would dissolve it with Hyaluronidase. Like it didn't go, they dissolved it on day 15. My lips went back to normal with a very natural look on it.
On this day, like I left Korea a month later and wouldn't be able to make a touch up on fat graft for at least a year, Doctor proposed me a free touch up for fat graft 1 month after the first surgery. Which I accept right away !
We scheduled the second surgery for the 16th of august.

I'll talk about the second surgery in a post below :smile:

SECOND SURGERY DAY
The 16th of august I went to the clinic for the fat graft touch up. I saw Doctor Jeong first to agree on what zone did I want to touch up. We went on everything except the forehead, because I thought that I didn't more in it.
Like the first time, I was told to change, wash my face and then I entered the surgery room few minutes later. I was put to sleep and woke up an hour later.
I could go home few hours later, this time Sky called me a taxi and also helped me to order food to eat when I'll be home, thanks to her :heart:
I healed pretty fast, bandages were removed on day 3, and I put make up on again on day 5. My face was completely de-swollen about 10 days later.

Here is a picture with Sky on day 14 after second surgery, when I went back to clinic for final check up and had my free botox injection on the corner of the eyes :

Generally my experience was positive. Clinic always listened to me and was very reactive to every issues, that they solved right away. I consider having some retouch later at the same place^^
