So in November I was in Seoul for 3 days and all I did there was back to back consultations at 5 different clinics. I figure my experience might be of some use to those of you looking to get work done in Seoul. I'll go through what I like and dislike about each clinic, what I noticed, what to look out for and how and why I selected Dream medical as my most likely candidate for revision surgery. Please note that Dream medical may not be suitable for you as it really depends on each individual's needs and expectations.
ALSO IF ANYONE HAS HAD PROCEDURES DONE AT DREAM? Pls let me know as while Im almost certain ill be going there, some feedback and reviews would be good because so far I haven't managed to find any post op info on them.
Before I begin, a little bit about my surgical experience. I've had 2 nose jobs both open and closed rhino(one with silicone and the other with diced ear cartilage and scalp tissue), an alar reduction, a concentric malar lift, 2 buccal fat removals, double eye lid surgery, 2 chin implants (silicone and then replaced with hydroxyapatite), concentric malar lift and hydroxyapatite implant in the mid cheek (subsequently removed the hydroxy due to too much elevation), and a jaw reduction. I am quite lucky after having so much work done I do not look plastic and fake in the very least, but it has been a learning curve and in some ways trial and error for me. All i can say now is that I know how to better select the right surgeons, the right procedures and ask the right questions for myself.
Anyways so before I arrived in Seoul, I had sent off several e-mails to different clinics based on research I had done and recommendations. Most of the e-mail replies you get will be from consultants and not the surgeons so I urge you to interpret them accordingly as whatever information they give you will most likely not be sufficient or 100% accurate for your individual case. Leave your decision making to when you meet the surgeons. For me, I wanted to get a revision rhino, lateral canthoplasty and cheekbone reduction. The clinics i visited were 1) Dream, 2) VIP, 3) BK, 4) OZ clinic and 5) ID clinic. I was going to visit Regen but didn't have the time. Do a ctrl find with the numbers if you just want to read up on these specific hospitals. I apologise in advance as I can seem long winded. I try to be as detailed as possible! Also i had to split the post into 3 parts cos its too long so bear with me lol....
