best plastic surgery clinics in Korea

[London_chick]

Hey, may I ask which hotel you're actually staying at since it's so close to all the clinic.



Hahaha the nose picking part xD
Well sounds like you're healing great though as there's no complication or anything!

Just general question for anyone, do you guys know if your nose will set permanently after a year, as in not as easy to break or change shape like normal noses (not sure if making sense now....) but my friend was telling me how her friend is so conscious of stuff going near her nose after her surgery even though it's been a year or so ...

Yes, you should be really careful for at least a year after surgery. I'm trying not to bump it or anything, and it still hurts if I do accidentally gently hit it (on any angle of the nose) but I did osteo and tip plasty so basically my whole nose had an operation. My partner was saying we could go skiing this Xmas and I'm like, no mate I'm not going to learn how to ski and likely fall on my face coz I gotta protect the nose!!!!

Apparently indeed it takes a year for you to finally see the shape of how your nose will set permanently, so I've got a while to go, yippee lol. After a year I think you don't have to be AS careful (but of course, still be careful anyway)

Hi London_Chick,

Do you know how the doctor fixed your droopy tip, e.g? extra support?

Happy Healing

Yes my tip is basically now "lifted". According to my surgeons words on my operation record.. "Nasal tip was shortenrd and augmented with septal cartilage graft with nasal tip reshaping"

 

[London_chick]

Septal cartilage for the tip + Gore-tex bridge



Thank you!



Thanks!


So I am surprised by the sheer number of clinics around my hotel -- Grand, VIP, JK, Profile, Teuim, MVP, ID, and a gazilion others are within walking distance. Many 7-11–like grocery chains sell post-cosmetic surgery kits: face mask, hats, cheap yet large sunglasses.

Stressed out and woke up. Very thirsty but not allowed to drink. -_-

How did it go? Hope all is well.

Yes I know there are WAY too many clinics around there. That's why I keep stressing to everyone to visit as many as you can, coz it is bewilding how many good clinics there are in the area and you should check out as many as you can!

Augh gross! I don't want a neti pot!! I want to stick my finger up my nose! (sorry that was graphic..)

HA~! I hadn't spurged like that since... EVER! OMG, just thinking about how much I spent so rashly makes me giddy! Did I read this somewhere or imagine it..? Are you planning to go to Seoul next year spring with a bunch of other forumers? Now that I'm typing this, I think I MUST have imagined it... LOL.

Ahh~ I miss Seoul, but I miss you more!

Cheesier than a double cheese pizza

Lol, bless your cotton socks mate! I'm wearing that jumper (sweater you guys call it lol) remember the one that was hanging next to your top with the cute bow at the back that you suddenly saw it as we were going up the escalators - and immediately went all the way down again to buy it! (You were on a mission mate!) Yes, well I'm now wearing that jumper lol.

I'm definitely thinking of going to back to Seoul again, maybe this time (or around the time we went) nxt year. I might go to Thailand and so its only 5-6 hours from there which is pretty easy. You MUST let me know when you're thinking of going back so we can try and link up. NO plastic surgery (though I am thinking of lazer skincare again - hey its non surgical lol!) and we can check out some clubs thats NOT playing house?! Lol - or maybe just a little

Really glad we got to meet up and be all positive and cheerful even though we looked awful and masked up! Hey, we never got to scare the little kids by taking our masks off infront of them! (terrible I know...)

Aww, thanks so much *shrug* :girlwhack:
Stay tuned for 3 months picture

So I am back!

Ended up doing septal cartilage for support + ear cartilage for tip + small silicone implant. The consultant talked me out of eye (said I don't need it), two-jaw (said I only needed teeth strengthening, and two jaw only for ppl in the entertainment business -_-), and paranasal (doesn't fit me).

Went under general anesthesia at 11am. Passed out in like 5 minutes. Woke up at 3pm.

That's so long. Is that normal?

Post-op care was nice. Was in a recovery room with curtain and heat blanket until I feel okay.

Got hydroperoxide, cotton swab for the hydroperoxide, antibiotic ointment, and antibiotic pills (5 day supply) from a drugstore. And the hospital gave me a GINORMOUS BOX OF PUMPKIN JUICE. You think the juice packs will look orange? No, it looks like blood. Feel like a vampire now. (True Blood anyone??)

At this point nose is still bleeding. Throat is dry from hours of breathing from mouth. Nurses said I snorted after the anesthesia but before the procedure. -_- Pain hasn't started yet.

And finally, for the record, I am a guy!

So will stay in Korea until the 14th. Anyone interested in meeting up and trying one of the many local noodle shops? Those pics look soo enticing.

Random thoughts:

1. I have a huge stash of pumpkin juice from the hospital. What the heck is that all about? Giving away 10 bags~

2. Just did my first post-op cleaning routine. Lots of bloody q-tips.. Gross!

3. I just saw a huge line outside JW. What's going on? Free surgery day??

My Korean friend referred me to Small Face Clinic, saying one of his pretty friends had her eyes done there, and left a rave review on the website. We checked it out yesterday, and I was really impressed with her eye surgery. Her eyes after surgery look EXACTLY like Moon Geun Young's. I don't know if she went into her consultation asking to have MGY's eyes or if it just happened by accident, but if she DID, her surgeon did a superb job.

I'm thinking of also getting my eyes done there now, but I don't know... I haven't really seen many other eye surgery B&A pictures and reviews. Has anyone consulted with or heard about Small Face Clinic? Any positive/negative words about their eye surgery or just the clinic in general?

Nice indeed! Very different b4 & after

Hi London_Chick, thanks for asking.

My nose feels fine. I am surprised that there is no pain at all. It is of course all congested, but that's too be expected.

What's bothering me is my throat: it is sore from the tube used during general anesthesia. Hmm

Lol, not sure about the long line outside JW, but congrats on your nose job. It brings me back 3 weeks ago

Dude, DRINK THE PUMPKIN JUICE THREE TIMES A DAY!!! Everyone says it helps for the deswelling and I drank it religiously! They gave it to you for free? Lucky - I had to buy mine from a pharmacy but it tasted delicicious - though I tried another pumpkin juice from another forumer kkim and that was a bit bitter. The one I bought had a little sweetener but it really tasted good. DRINK IT lol!

Don't worry about the blood thing. My nose bled for 10 HOURS after my surgery - like A LOT of blood!

My throat didn't hurt though, you could perhaps ask the doctor or nurse about that, but I think it should clear away..

How long are you in Seoul for? Well done again!

So happy for you, now the intensive part has been done wish you good luck for recovery! You get yours done on ID , is it? How do you feel on the clinic overall vibe? many locals/foreigners?

Be really careful now, on my first few days after nose job i'd try to stay 'up' as long as possible as this is the period where it create that shape, glad I did and since blood will keep flowing out try to make it handy to change the cottonwrapy thing under ur nose, change it regularly too!

Take care!

 

[Reneesyd]

What are you getting again? Was it facial contouring? Duude... That's some gnarly business. I considered zygoma... and then I realized that I was bat **** crazy for even thinking about it... I hope you have someone who can help you out for the first few days... Especially if you don't speak Korean. Even then...

Well, Emisa and tons of forumers went and got everything done on their own. Good luck to you! Which clinics are you considering?

Same here
I aslo want to have zigoma and v line
But a bit scare of the op post recovery and pain

Thanks Via! i will heed your wise advice.

i totally know what you meant by cottonwrapy thing. haha. perfect description.

The ID vibe can be described as professional and upscale. it occupies an entire building that looks very modern. several other clincs wrap their buildings in grotesque plastic shell or neon light -- not my kind of thing.

inside, the modern design continues. for example, many reception desks are designed like space pods. anesthesia is done in a designated area in the basement. very clean. one thing though, when i was there the speaker was playing some kind.of dramatic, emotional music....

recovery room is clean and nice. i was told to sit there for as long as possibe. heating blanket was nice.

i saw three locals before my procedure at 10am. and i overheard 2 patients speaking in chinese.

There are other brands of pumpkin juice from other stores, but since you got your free I would just drink those - bitter is probably better coz its more fresh without any artificial sweeteners!

Happy recovery. Don't forget to ice ice ice!!!! That's all I was doing for the 2 weeks post op!
