Hi,
I'm going to be consulting w/some clinics soon and would appreciate any consultation tips. Here's what I gathered from reading this forum so far:
1. go with a friend or group if possible.
2. don't use a translator or take your host mom.
3. don't tell anyone where you're going and when because someone may contact the clinic and pretend to have "sent you" and take commission.
4. whatever price they give you, bargain down at least 30%.
5. ask for a CD of the 3d scan, so you only have to do it once and use it at other clinics. (Has anyone have luck w/this yet? someone mentioned recently that they paid TLPS $30 to do it and they gave her a blank disk.)
6. know the going rates for native koreans, as a reference point for bargaining.
For #6, I'm using the price list given by Golden Ration clinic, which I posted here on the forum awhile back, but was disappointed to see that they no longer publicly post their prices anymore.
So I tried to research korean websites and found a price list page for Dream PS Clinic (the one run by Dr. Song, not the main one...)
http://www.dreamsurgery.co.kr/Guide/Guide03_03.asp
To see the list in english, copy the link in Chrome browser and right click to translate into English, then click on the procedure to get done and press the button at the bottom. I wasn't surprised by some prices for facial countouring, but was surprised to see that acculift is less than a $1000. Based on these prices, it seems that may people got way over priced...
If anyone finds anymore or have other tips, please share! Thanks!
