HI Tatias,
Hi Emisa,
I totally agree with Tooney. Your nose looks nice and natural now.Don't meddle with your nose when there's nothing wrong with it now.
I had rhino 3x not because I was nothing happy with the results, but due to implant deviation. And I was very traumatised by the whole process.
My friend who is a doctor told me that the nose tend to get weaker and weaker everytime we revise.
I pray that I dont have to do another revision anymore.
Unfortunately, my Korean is quite limited. I'm actually leaving from Canada, by the way would you happen to have kakaotalk haha
Wow thank you so much for writing that detailed post about what to eat, it's very helpful to a lot of people (and me) who are going to Korea for Ps in the future!
Heya.
I guess u went thru what I made myself go thru as well - slow healing, rush decision, obligated.
I still feel remorseful choosing BK as I was challenging time too. I was cryin regret after paying deposit and not to mention the wrong surgeon (I still cant believe Sha**77 raved him...?!)
Though one month into my surgery, my nostrils r still uneven from swelling and my right eye squints assymetrically due to stiff stitching from the lateral corner. I started tapping gently on the corner from the 3rd week and saw slight improvement - right eye is opening up - and I still use a warm pack occassionally n tapping it as much as I can (but gently ok).
I must say that your post-op stay in Seoul was way too rushed. I had partial stitches removed on the 7th day until the 10th and 12th. Send your concern to the surgeon via your consultant to seek advice.
In all, pressuring a patient to commit the surgery cos "there's a free slot in the surgeon's schedule tomorrow" is a BIG NO NO. An hr on the surgeon's calendar does not equate adequacy for your 2-hr surgery - thus the abrupt and brutal operation. I observed their malpractise through my experience so advising ppl not to be stacked in between patients. A morning appointment is also better than an afternoon one.
Please remember: "Patience is a virtue". A rushed operation always ends in regret. Give yourself ample time to rationalise your decision. Its your face n $ afterall.
* I am still praying for a positive result...
No dear...That shouldn't be the first rule. If you read past pages, you would find a debate between Shane and HKP on this topic. Then, I wasn't sure who is right. Anyway, since I have intention to book Zoe and would also want to be on the safe side, I decided to call 1-2 clinics to check if they do pay commission if I bring along a translator and the replies were "no".
I asked Zoe about this issue as well. She told me that she did not collect any commission. IMO, I think even if she collects commission, I am alright coz like what Gingercandy said, the clients must hv justified the pricing to choose the clinic. I can't quote word by word but something along that line, Ginger? Is it or did I get it wrong?
Take my case for example. I find that the price of 16.5millionKRW is justifiable in my case coz it invloves cheekbone, mandible, full face fat graft and revised rhino with alar plasty. Infact, I did not get this price myself. It was through Zoe's help to negotiate. She explained that coz she happened to work there before and is in the senior position. The consultant is already telling us no more reduction after reducing to 17millionKRW. She kept saying no no, sorry, last price. Too much...Zoe left to look for the head and came back with a discount to final price of 16.5m. Like I mentioned before, she bargained as if she was the one paying. So, as long as I find it reasonable, I really do not care if ZOe gets a cut. Infact, I would be happy if she does coz the translation charge is so low, taking into account the effort and time she spent. I felt so bad that I decided to pay more in my own accord. I choose to use my conscience to think in someone's position. Someone who is making an honest living. Its people's livelihood..
I asked her why didn't she ask clinics for commission. She explained that it is not her personality to push a person to a clinic of her choice coz she understands its PS, and its impact on individual. She just can't bring herself to do that. She was depressed during that period esp when the accusation is not true. N people were forming different opinions tt she could not control while she really used her sincerity to help people. Worst, this job is her livelihood and she gets business through word of mouth. Could you imagine the possible adverse impact, should everyone swayed to that belief.
Kudos to your great bargaining prowess. But my deal is not too bad though not negotiated by me personally. I did use few other forumers' prices in different clinics and ID as reference though. Cheers.
hmm, that should be the right email then..i think i have emailed her about 3 weeks ago with no reply, thats why i thought i'd check with you girls again. Do you have any one else to recommend in case she is busy or doesnt think she can help me?Hi Emisa,
Thanks for your quick reply! much appreciated
I am planning on doing my eyes. some doctors have recommended the incision method for a double lid, but dr kang from IOU said that my condition is ptosis.
that is why i think i will need to go for a few consultations and i speak no korean at all.
HI, another two girls I have heard of are:Hi Angiebellex,
I am not sure if its in the spam box? Coz even though we never meet in the past, she will still revert the same day, though she sounded so official. Let me drop her a mail to check her spam box. You might want to indicate the subject as "Translation service" to avoid going into spam? I am just guessing.
Yes, you need to visit at least 3 coz its eyes. It will change your look and you need to be prudent. Ask for their recommendation and reason to support their recommendation and diagnosis. I learnt now..
Some clinics do have English/Chinese consultant too.
