Negative Clinic Experiences

#646
Does anyone know anything about Answer Clinic (where Edward Avila got work done)? They're social media is pretty sketchy... a lot of their patient examples they post are from other clinics/google images, and when I asked them about it, they just pulled the images down.

How do you search whether a pic was used somewhere else before? I assume it's not just based on filename, some sort of photo analysis has to be done right?

You can reverse search images via sites like Tineye.

If I knew a clinic was stealing and trying to pass of some other clinic's pics as their own, I'd run, not walk, the other way. Incredibly shady.

Yea after seeing that, I did a 180 and am no longer considering them. It's not even a lesser known image, it's one of the most popular images you find when you google Korean Plastic Surgery. She was a patient from JK Clinic and I believe is on their page still. It makes me not believe that the other images they sent me of their past patients are really theirs either...

Speaking of that, is there a better way to insure what clinics are sending are actually their work? I've asked for a few patient examples from GnG, but now I'm scared they might be guilty of the same thing (and any other clinic for that matter).

Some clinics will have the patient change into their distinctive patient robes pre-surgery for the before pics, so you could look at the robes (if shown).
Otherwise, it can be really hard to tell.

Another reason NOT to go to Dr Lee at DAPRS clinic (also known as DA) for facial fat graft. I paid for a third fat graft with him in April as the fat graft in July and September did not last and this time he only took fat from one donor thigh!!! He chose the thigh that was 1/2 an inch thinner than the other and made it even thinner and now more pronounced asymmetric to the other thigh. I had no idea he did this until I awoke in recovery! Why would an experienced plastic surgeon specialising in fat grafting only suction fat from one donor thigh and not both for symmetry like he did for the first 2 facial fat grafts on me? Was he in a hurry? Did he not care about the donor site result? He keeps denying I had a shadow doctor. First the interpreter consultant offered me CCTV but then Dr Lee refused and wouldn't even show CCTV of the doctors who entered the theatre during my operation to prove I did not have a shadow doctor. I never got any bandages or tape on my thigh either so it had extensive bruising. Here is what my thighs look like now ...mirror reflection to capture the back of my thighs as he suctioned from only one inner posterior thigh 2 months ago. Freaky! One huge thigh and one thin thigh. Irresponsible!

oh my gosh! I was thinking about having fat transfer to sunken areas and what kind of clinic could do such poor job on patient?? unbelievable.... I'm so sorry that you went through all the unnecessary procedures and the pains... I'll never go DAPS!

Hi everyone! I'm planning on doing my nonincisional double eyelid surgery at Cinderella. I'm going for a natural look and they quoted me less than $400 for the procedure...I know the price sounds super cheap but it's because I speak Korean fluently so they think I'm a local even though I'm from America and they're doing a summer special. Other clinics on my short list are Dream, IWell, and New Line in Busan. Can anyone tell me if cinderella is good or if any of the other ones on my list are good?

Also, I'm planning on doing arm or thigh liposuction or the new liposuction "shots" where they just take our a certain number of cc from your problem areas and where the recovery period is super short with minimal swelling. Does anyone know any good clinics for this?

I think that's referred to as mini liposuction. There is a thread on it but I haven't seen any reviews from people who've done it. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/mini-liposuction.967899/

Aren't they suppose to give you tax return?? I thought all plastic surgery clinics did tax free...? Why did they refuse?
I am planning to go there this month!!

yeah that's what I thought as well, but their reason was shameless, I didn't quite understand it, but it was something like it will affect them if they give me tax return.

Hi, I just checked their website! You can actually contact Medical Korea Information Centre if a hospital refuse to issue VAT refund form.

Please complain about it! I really hate clinics with shady practices.
