I've been searching for reviews on lesser known clinics because I feel places like 365MC really overcharges foreigners! I consulted them as a Korean and was quoted 2.3million for abdomen and 1.5million for arms but as a foreigner 7million for abdomen and 3.3million for arms. Absurd much!
So I decided to keep 365mc as my last choice and look for renowned SURGEONS instead of big name clinics. Because the most important still lies in the skill of the surgeon rather than the clinic right?
I've narrowed my options down to these 2. Do let me know your feedback if any!!
- Evita Clinic
The main surgeon is Dr Jeon Cheol Woo MD. I've seen super good reviews on whatclinic and he's had around 15 years of surgery (He told me he started since 1999). I've asked a local Korean and she said this clinic seems quite famous. She also recommended me to consult Yujin Clinic which is quite popular among China people. (I'm still in the midst of getting a reply from them! So I may add it in when they reply). Evita Clinic has a very well done up website with detailed descriptions so you can get lots of information there or just drop them an email. He replied me in less than 4 hours!
I was quoted
Tummy liposuction (360 degree, abdomen, waist, back, flank) is 2,000,000 Won (KRW) + VAT 10%.We recommend Tummy liposuction first, and later, arm liposuction. But, If you can stay over 10days in Korea, it can done, together. (Both area liposuction is 10% discount) --> This is the problem. I'm still trying to get to know if I can get both areas done during my stay in Korea (8 days) because Dr Jeon is saying tummy first then maybe few months later then do arms.
Arm liposuction & Lift (360 degree, upper, medial arm, axillary fat pad, bra line) is1,500,000 Won (KRW) + VAT 10%.
They provide complimentary dressing + RF massage which is conducted every day after surgery. Only the first 2-3 days of only Dressing and thereafter enters even massage. The time is usually around 20 minutes. --> This I really like because I can get free massage everyday hoho!
- Change Clinic
The surgeon doing the surgery is Dr Chang Doo Yeol / Yeoul. If you search realself, you can find reviews on him. Apparently, he was the medical director of Dream Clinic and then 1-2 years back, he set up this new clinic. That's why his Facebook has really little likes lol. Compared to Dr Jeon whose Facebook has ratings. Dr Chang is quite well known in the industry and specializes in Liposuction and have been in the field for 15~ years. He's quite famous among the Chinese people also so if you search for his chinese name, you can find some reviews.
I was quoted
Tummy Lipo 3 Million KRW
Arms Lipo 2.8 Million KRW
They do charge foreigners more than locals due to needing a translator. For Dr Chang, he said that both surgeries can be done on the same day which is really good to hear.
Yups! So I'm stuck between these two but I'm sure a decision will surface when I have my consultation with them next May!
All these information and more which I've not added in here so I don't sound like a nag was through searching in google and naver so I think even more might pop up if I search further. Just wanted to spare you the time to search that's why I'm posting it here! Really would love to hear anyone's feedback or comments!! Anyway, I couldn't find any negative reviews but will update if I do.
Hi, who did you go for in the end? How was it?
