POST 14 DAYS

I had nose surgery. As you can see in the photos, my nose had a rounded and bulbous shapes. During the initial consultation, I decided to have surgery to reduce alar and lift the nasal tip and bridge. Initially, I was quite nervous, but the staff at DA Plastic Surgery were very kind and reassuring, which helped me relax. The surgery took around 2 to 3 hours, and aside from some discomfort, I didn't experience much pain.

For the nasal tip, cartilage from the ear and septum was used, and silicone was used into the nasal bridge., and I felt so weird when the cotton came out. The removal of stitches and disinfection were also performed. For deswelling, I received laser treatment before not for oxygen capsule therapy. The oxygen capsule therapy was enjoyable, despite some unusual sounds.

Overall, the service was satisfactory. As seen in the photos, it has been two weeks since the surgery, and the significant swelling and visible bruising have subsided. There is still some minor swelling remaining. I was self-conscious about my rounded bulbous nose, so I am very satisfied with the noticeable improvement.

There are famous and excellent plastic surgery clinics in Korea, such as DA, ID, NANA, and BROWN. The reason why I chose DA was that their service made me feel very comfortable. It was worthwhile to have plastic surgery in Korea

Threadlift & fat graft at View plastic surgery

My experience at View Plastic Surgery Clinic was superb. The English consultants really took care of me from pre-consultation till post-surgery. Jenny and Namoon were prompt in their replies whenever i reached out to them on our group chat. They not only helped me with queries regarding the surgery but also with other non-surgery related questions. I was truly well taken of by the team and i am so grateful!

Not to mention, this is my fourth time at View Plastic Surgery and i had threadlift and some fat graft done. I was here a few months back and the threadlift result done by Dr So Young was the best results i ever achieved from thread lifting. In the past, i did get similar treatment done in other clinics but the results are different here!! That is why i came back again for a top up along with fat graft. Prices will always be competitive and results are most important so i will definitely come to View for future treatments. Its a clinic that truly takes care of me with proven results!!! Great thanks and appreciation to Dr So Young, Jenny and Namoon for taking care of me!!! ♥️♥️

William and Catherine

Please consider temporarily closing that William and Catherine gossip thread. Members are posting clearly manipulated and offensive images as well as ridiculous if not dangerous conspiracy theories. Also, some seem to badger other posters. Yes, I have reported the posts, but mods have not responded yet, probably due to time issues. A temporary close worked well before, maybe it could work here. Let everything cool down. Thank you.

Love at second sight. Has this ever happened to you?

So a few weeks back, I indulged myself a little by shopping my first higher end bag. I had a picture of what I wanted in my head when I walked into the store, and saw a few that came very close. I tried those on and felt nothing.

Then I saw something on a back shelf that was NOTHING like what I was shopping for. It was the wrong color and a style I had not even considered. I emptied the handbag I was carrying (a lavender Kate Spade camera bag) and found this one fit my essentials ( big wallet, phone, keys) with room to spare but it seemed bigger than what I wanted. But I asked to try it on.

As soon as the strap hit my shoulder, I saw fireworks. I looked in the mirror and that was it. I just knew! It's been 3 weeks with zero regrets. I do baby her. I love wearing her but only in good weather and never to work. That may pass after my next bag buy though!!! But I love her and and see myself reaching for her for many years.

Has this ever happened to you?

Coach 9058 Question

Hello!
I’ve been searching for a good coach 9058 and I was just wondering did it ever come in navy? I see the black mahogany even red but I know they did many bags in navy so I was wondering if they ever did the 9058. If not are there any similar bags someone recommends that come in navy?
Also if anyone knows if there any sites someone recommends to find old coach magazines and bag listings that would be so helpful for the future.

Thank you so much!

Best crossbody Chanel?

Hi! I’ve been trying to decide on which Chanel to purchase next. I know I want a crossbody and one I can use everyday.

I was looking at the pearl crush square minis because I like the adjustable straps (I’m 5’0”). I heard the lamb skin is a little more durable on that bag? Can anyone who has one shed some light on it?

Then I saw the sweetheart square mini in caviar…but wasn’t sure how I felt about the heart or the chain.

I have a few WOCs already but they don’t suit my lifestyle right now. I want something more roomy but not too big. I already have 2 flaps and an old medium boy.

Any recommendations? Or insight to the pearl crush?

Thanks!!

The Actual Dark Side of Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea KKT - (rhino, blephro, cantho, DES, double eyelid, face, lipo, FC, breast, lift, tuck)

I posted this on Reddit a while back and it was suggested I post here.

The narrative that has been widely perpetuated is that Korean translators are taking advantage of foreigners who visit Seoul for plastic surgery (PS). I have nothing to say on that matter because the few translators I have used have been seemingly honest. What i have found, though, is that it is actually some of the other foreign patients who are in Seoul for PS who are taking advantage of uninitiated foreigners.

Story time: I joined a Kakao Talk group chat for people traveling to Seoul for plastic surgery in November 2023. The administrator of said group made it a requirement for joining the group chat that a person had to create an event in the group chat calendar and share 1) their real name, 2) their travel dates (arrival and departure), and 3) their clinics.

Like a good unsuspecting foreigner, I did as I was asked and joined the group chat with about 15 to 20 or so other unsuspecting foreigners, all very happy to share this information so that we could offer and receive support and meet up with other women and men traveling to Seoul in November for PS. On the day of my arrival, I shared with the group that I would be heading to XQueen (pseudonym) women's clinic for a consultation and would meet up with some of the other women afterwards. During my consultation I received a quote for, among other things, 600 shots of Jilsera laser tightening. The quote I received for the Jilsera alone was 2.2 million KRW. I told XQueen that I would give it some thought and get back with them. A week or so later, I contacted XQueen and asked if I could come in that day for the procedure but they did not have time. I therefore began looking around at other women's clinics. I looked at two other clinics, Podo and Golden. I consulted at one of them and had my translator call one of them. Their price for 600 shots of Jilsera: 980K KRW (Podo) and 580K KRW (Golden, where my translator called and they did not know I was a foreigner). Why a $1.2m - 1.6m KRW ($900 - $1,200 USD) difference in price from XQueen? Well, mind you, I did not share my plan to visit Podo with anyone. So here is where it gets interesting folks. Ostensibly, someone from the group chat called XQueen and asked for referral commission. Keep reading to see how it works.

During this trip to Seoul (my second trip) I learned from a Korean friend that commission for referrals is some of the easiest money that can be made in the Seoul PS industry. It goes like this: all a person needs to know is your name and the clinic you're visiting. They call up the clinic and say "Oh, Sally was not interested in your clinic but I heard good things about your clinic and convinced Sally to go to you, can I get a referral commission?" The clinic says no problem and tacks on the commission to your surgery price. Easy as that. That is right, the unsuspecting foreigner pays more just because they have either 1) shared their clinic plans with a seasoned PS vet who pretends to be their new super supportive friend or 2) joins a "supportive" Kakao Talk group chat for purposes of meeting up and shares their clinic plans (the administrators of these group chats love to call these chats "official" or "verified" and often the group chat will correspond with a season or month in which the unsuspecting foreigner plans to visit Seoul. No such thing as official or verified group chat, but I digress). Upshot: your clinic plans are being used to make commissions and get free and discounted surgery sometimes from folks who are pretending to be your BFFs. That is the hustle. Laid bare for all to see.

My tips: DO NOT SHARE YOUR CLINIC PLANS WITH ANYONE UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN TO YOUR CONSULTATION AND GOTTEN YOUR PRICE. MAKE CLEAR AT ALL OF YOUR CLINICS THAT NO ONE REFERRED YOU. DO NOT TAKE ANYONE BUT YOUR TRANSLATOR TO YOUR CLINICS. IF A REQUIREMENT TO JOIN A KAKAO TALK GROUP CHAT IS TO SAY YOUR NAME OR CLINIC, GIVE A FAKE NAME AND GIVE THE NAME OF ONE OF THE BIG FACTORY CLINICS WHERE YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF GOING.

Let me be clear, Seoul has some of the best plastic surgeons in the world. Going to Seoul for PS can pay dividends! Also, one of my favorite activities is meeting new and interesting people from the group chats who are in Seoul for PS. And most of the foreigners in those chats, especially those there for the first or second time, are good and honest folks. However, there are a couple of unsavory characters who have been to Seoul for PS multiple times and who are pretending to be your friend while making money and getting free and discounted surgery at your expense. My PSA. Hope it saves some of y'all.

Beautiful breast at clinic View 2024

Hey everyone!

Just gotta spill the beans – about a month back, I made this big decision to shake things up in my life, and let me tell you, I am over the moon with it! So, I went on this hunt, did some digging, and voilà! Found this gem of a clinic called "View" smack dab in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul, at 107 Bongeunsa-ro.

The folks over there, from the doctors to the staff, were absolute legends. They were like my personal cheer squad, answering all my queries and making me feel like a VIP. You can just tell they genuinely care about you and the end result – talk about a comforting vibe!

If I had to rewind and do it all over again, you betcha I'd pick clinic “View” without a second thought. Seriously, it's a no-brainer – highly recommend checking them out if you're in need of some breast Trust me, you won't regret it! 🌟

Why did my nail polish turn black?

I painted my nails with OPI Sheer Creme Finish Nude (no top coat). The color is beige pink and I love it. However, within a few days the color on the nails slowly turn to black. Especially the tip is dark and it’s the worst for the thumb and index and middle fingers.

My guess is that it’s reacting to some chemicals I touch? The only things that come to interact with my hands are Vaseline, soap, coconut oil, and some skin lotion. I don’t touch harsh chemicals or spices (although I cook a lot). I don’t touch newspaper or any printed material. Can you think of the possible causes?

Thank you so much! 😊

Help me choose the best color between these

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy my LV cabin bag and a keepall 45. Now I wanted to get your opinions and experiences on these bags.

My husband has Pegase and it’s amazing even after 10 years of continuous traveling but it is very heavy and doesn’t have the 4 rolling wheels. So I like the horizon weight and smooth glide.

I am not concerned about scratches on the aluminum because I’ll install clear bra 3m (protection film from an auto shop( saw pics/info on this forum).

Please help me choose the right color
Here are some options which one you prefer

1- Classic monogram horizon with classic keepall (love the vintage look)

2- classic monogram horizon with keepall Macassar (care free but silver hardware :amuse: not sure)

3- monogram eclipse horizon with same colour keepall ( fresh and gunmetal hardware :tup:)

4 - monogram eclipse horizon with macasar keepall.

Can’t go with macasar horizon because of shiny silver hardware.


I am hoping for some input so I can make a good choice!

Thanks in advance:smile:

Le Noeud ring - for which finger ? Help me decide

Le Noeud ring - for which finger ?

Good morning to you all.
I skim these threads almost daily for 2 months and just fell in love with VCA the past 2 years. I began to buy not preloved jewelry October 2023 (yes it took time as I really needed to think about what to buy). I really thank you all that post threads and pictures because it helped me so much (no stock in the pieces I wanted) and I value your opinion. As I don’t have so many friends to share my jewelry passion ❤️‍🔥.
I arrive at one time in my “journey” where I really would like a special piece. Maybe for Christmas / birthday 2024. There are a lot but seeing tones of pictures here I fell in love with the ribbon 🎀 ring so called Le Noeud. I asked my SA and could try it on yesterday but as it is 49 size it only was possible to put it on the twinky 5th finger 🥺.
I just ordered my first 3rd finger ring (the BTF RG frivole ring) and will wait to see how it is to get a 3rd finger ring. I have all my rings for the 4th finger. But for a so taller ring and a BTF ring I thought it would be more special and seeable on the 3rd. Again I don’t have pictures yet as they seem in the Boutique to get only 49 size rings to try on …

Well the question today is for which finger do you think I should go ahead with the Noeud ring ? It is so beautiful I really would like to wear it 3-4 times a week.

Some things I thought for myself :
- I have 53 size at my 4th finger with VCA VA rings (52 a bit too tight but I still have one old and is ok)
- I have 59 size at my 3rd finger (I know it is huge … 😮‍💨)
- I have 60 size at my 2nd finger (but wouldn’t like to put the Noeud at this finger as it will be on the side and then in the space between the 1-2 fingers)
- I don’t have children but a niece I would like to give my jewelry at the right time : she is Asian and very tiny so I think all my rings won’t be ok for her (well maybe for the 2-3rd finger if I buy for myself a 4th finger ring). But still she could resell and buy another one so it shouldn’t be the decisive point for my choice.

So help me decide please 🙏🏻. Thank you

Sydney Australia Plastic Surgeon Reviews+ Any Thoughts on Dr Chaithan Reddy?

Interested in getting some of my procedures done closer to home. Recently I'm especially interested in Dr Chaithan Reddy. I'm mostly interested in forehead contouring procedures (like facial feminisation type stuff, brow bone reduction, etc.), upper blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty (maybe septoplasty too). He seems to have good prices and good results from what I've found. It's hard to find reviews though. If you have any recommendations of surgeons in Sydney that perform these procedures, I'd love to hear about it. I feel Australia is lacking when it comes to cosmetic surgeons compared to other countries TT plus it's often a bit overpriced.

How many days after FC surgery can you talk?

Hi beautiful people ~

I'm planning to have FC surgery (zygma, jaw bone, chin) in Seoul soon. After the surgery I'm planning to have consultations for the next surgery while I'm there. I know that after the surgery you won't be able to open your mouth a lot. When would you say that I'll heal enough to be able to talk normally, normal enough that I can go to consults? I really appreciate your input! 🙏:smile:

Galleria Releases

I've loved the Galleria bag for years and now that I can finally afford one....the color combo isn't out. I realize gold is in and silver is out, but I am a silver (or pewter, anything that isn't gold) girl. I had the most fun looking at the large Galleria in gray at CDG and would have purchased it on the spot except the gold is garish, even if it had been a lighter shade I would have considered it.

So...anyone have a crystal ball on when designers will switch back to silver tones? Or are there times of year the line gets updated that I can stalk?
