I agree with you, Lex. When will you be coming? Hopefully in September?
Unfortunately, no. I'm going mid June 2013. I can't get much time off of work at this time. What all are you getting done?

hi, have u decided when to go? I have just decided to go to Korea for mandibular reduction on the first two weeks of August. Try to find a buddy now!Hi, I might go either in the first two weeks of August or October to do V-line and nose surgeries with ID. I am trying to find a buddy so we can share hotel fees and support each other. Also, having a buddy won't make the korea trip not too boring!
thanks kkim! that would really help me before making a decision!I plan on consulting with them, so if I remember, I'll definitely ask for you
I'm for sure going in the middle of June 2013. I'm starting a new job in a new town after my rhino. When are you planning to go?
hi guys and gurls,
apologize for not being here as often. been kinda busy preping for my up coming trip to seoul next month, that and my website which for interested to know is coming along nicely. i am currently working on the catagories which have kept me busy over the last few days. i'm trying to sort everything out, trying to make it as comprehensive as possible while still keeping it simple and easy to navigate. i would love to seek out the opinion of those here. should i go with a an extremely comprehensive list of catagories, or just a simple condense list? an example would be cosmetic filler. now we all know there are hundred of injectable filler in the market from aquamid to zyderm to cosmoplast. now i could list out all the brands which would take me a while to collect the information, or place it under a single term, SYNTHETIC INJECTABLE FILLER. something like that. there are pro and con of the two. the pro being that it will be an exhausted list of every cosmetic filler known in the industries. but the con of it is almost every clinic in korea that i know of carry only one or two popular brand of synthetic filler. Botox for example is the brand most commonly used by korean clinic. Dysport is another brand of botulium toxin which is FDA approved, but to my knowledge hardly any korean clinic carry the brand. and when it comes to botilium toxin, there are type A and type B. type A being the the FDA approved brand while type B is still popular but not FDA approved. there are hundred of synthetic filler brand which most of us have never even heard of. so if i go with a comprehensive list, i might be a waste of precious space to list them in the catagories. i'm leaning toward just narrowing the brand down to just a single term making it a lot easier for folk like you to navigate and would definetlely make my job a lot easier as well. below is an abriviated example of one of the catagories (Cheek) on my list. do let me know if i'm miss anything on this list, or made a mistakes. a lot of the information i gathered from the internet so its hard to tell which sources is legit and which isn't.

Hi guys, I'll be doing my surgery soon. I just have a few quick questions. Do clinics provide ice packs? Should we stock up on food before the surgery, what kind of food? Is there a supermarket in Gangnam Gu. How do we get about outside on a daily basis after surgery, with a mask?
Most clinics should provide ice packs.
What procedures are you getting? I think there's no need to stock up food as you will still be able to move around after you gain your conscious. Unless you plan to hide in the hotel until you pack your luggage and leave Seoul. I actually advice you to walk around more. When I brought my mom and sister there, they walk around a lot even after surgeries (they both had liposuctions done).
There are a lot of supermarket in gangnam. Apparently, almost everywhere. And getting outside shouldn't be a problem, with and without the mask. No one will stare at you like you're an alien. Hope this helps!
Hey guys, I've been reading these forums for the past few weeks and they've really helped me make my decision in going to Seoul for my rhinoplasty. It can be all so overwhelming, what with researching on which materials to best use for your nose - implant or not, which cartilage would work best, blah, blah, blah.Hey,
My dates are already set.. Sept. 13th through Sept. 24. If you're in Korea around then, you're totally welcome to join me and a bunch of other forumers
by the way congrats on having a new job & moving to a new town!!!!I'm for sure going in the middle of June 2013. I'm starting a new job in a new town after my rhino. When are you planning to go?
ahhh summerline! relax.. when are you going for rhino? Actually if i were to do silicon rhino, VIP & Item would be in my list too!
what's shimmian website? i could find it unless its the blogspot account...??
its about 10 million won for both nose revision and zygoma revision. if i decide to do both at ID or both at BK, i could probably get it much cheaper. if i am doing both in the same clinic, i would most likely do it at ID. the only thing that would make me change my mind is if i decide to go with dermis instead of silicone, since only BK does dermis implant for the bridge of the nose. as i said before, i am fine with either dr kim of ID or dr shin of Bk doing my nose if i decide to go with silicone. since only only dr shin does dermis, i would have to go with BK if i choose that for my bridge. if i do choose bk for my nose, i could stay at their guest house free of charge so that would save me a lot of money. other wise i would be staying at highland hotel which isn't free, but it is cheaper than sunshine or la casa.

shimmian website is nose.co.kr..
I don't know, I haven't decided yet. what about you?
I've been looking around a lot of b&a pics in JW, Item, BK, Banobagi, Shimmian, Vip, and a lot more.
I think all of the doctors did great jobs.
Usually in the b&a pics you can see frontal view and side view.
Most of the docs did great jobs if you're looking at it from the side view but not all of them can do great job in contouring and reducing wide nostrils (wide nostrils is my main concern).
most of the docs make the nostrils look not as wide as before but it's even more bulkier I think..I don't know how to explain this
I haven't found any surgeon who can reducing wide nostril impressively..
do you have any idea? is anybody have any idea?
