Hi ladies,

I want to share my experience. So i arrived in Korea on Thu night and went into surgery the next day with Dr. Kim Byong at BK. First, the whole surgery experience was really fast and efficient. I think the whole process of consultation to the actual surgery was about 3 hours or so. So i'm on day 3 (its sunday here now) and i'm feeling ok. Not much pain w/ the meds i'm taking but let me tell you!...the swelling is insane. Bascially my whole face is swollen! i think yesterday was the worst and today is slightly better.

I'll keep you guys posted on the recovery.

Hi, Hope you are recovering well.

Hope you may share your experience with Dr Kim. Is it really like factory production in BK? Some said Dr Kim is not really friendly, how you find him and more importantly his skills.

May I know if you done anything to your eyes.

Wishing you speedy recover. :)

So to be honest, yes, dr Kim is an ***!! My consultation with him took like 2 mins. Most of my questions were answer by his assistant. Now you maybe wondering why i still had the surgery? Well, i dont really care how friendly the doctor is....i just need him to be good at what he does. My gf got her nose and eyes done by Dr. Kim and it came out really well and it look totally natural!! Right now, i'm still swollen so i cant say my nose came out well but I hope it did :) I'll be taking out the stitches on Thu so will let you guys know the outcome.

I only did my nose and im glad i just did my nose. I was considering inner corner eye surgery and heard that the recovery time with both surgery will take longer.

Lastly, I heard that most Korean plastic surgeons are not friendly and plus, do you really care how friendly they are as long as they do a good job?

I did it alone and i know many forumers here did it alone too :)
I'd congrate those people including my self who are so brave enough to do it all alone...
With all doubt fear and anxiety that we all went through.... Finally we did it.

Hope its all worth it :)

Hi CocomoMadness,

I don't want to discourage you, but I highly recommend that you reconsider Wonjin. Many of their Before and After pictures are photoshopped. I also read elsewhere that a girl was considering Cinderella Clinic, Regen, Grand and Wonjin. She went to Cinderella Clinic first, and the consultant said that Regen and Grand were just as good as Cinderella, but was heavily against Wonjin. Dr. Wonjin has apparently had many malpractice cases in Korea by locals. He may be cheap, but he's had a long history of botched jobs. The consultant even volunteered the information that a patient had actually died there. :shocked:

I think Grand will be a good place to check out, but I sincerely hope you have second thoughts about Wonijin. Best regards.

Actually I have to agree with you... I have a few plastic surgery consultant friends and they said that the prices Wonjin offers are impossibly cheap. You can't hire a proper general anesthesiologist, qualified plastic surgeon, and allot the time necessary for the prices they quote patients. For something small like simple primary eyelid surgery, I guess it's not a big deal... but for anything that requires skill and time, I don't know if that's a good idea... Nowadays, there is so much competition for plastic surgery patients that a lot of clinics are offering dirt cheap prices to try to stay afloat by doing as many procedures as possible... but that's gonna do more harm than good in the long run. I read somewhere that a lot of clinics will probably close down in the coming years bc the market is over saturated with clinics (licensed and non licensed). Someone also told me that more than half of plastic surgery clinics fail within the first three years after opening because the market is so competitive... If prices are extremely cheap, you have to ask why. There's got to be a reason right?

But then again.. angel82 has done facial contouring there... IDK what her results are like... perhaps it's alright?

Duuuude - I just made pumpkin juice at home.. Trying to replicate the pumpkin juice that I had in Seoul (the one that you tired - slghtly sweeter than your one?) So, half a pumpkin cut in small dices - boiled in a big pot with 2 cups of apple juice, one cup of pineapple juice and two tabelspoons of honey. When the pumpkin is soft I blended it in a blender. Its not chilling in the fridge :-)Tastes really good! Since we're still a bit swolle, I thought I might as well try to make it - they dont sell pumpkin juice in London :-(

Ahh you are too cute!!!
Remember the disgusting pumpkin juice that I bought? apparently, it's PURE pumpkin juice. No additives/sugar/etc. That's why it tastes so bad! And it's made by the porridge restaurant. THey do everything themselves! If anyone's interested in finding this place, I'll draw a map :)

kkim120,

Thank you for sharing. That's quite informative and makes sense when you explain it like that.
