WOW! many thanks for this! Initially, I only intend to do minor fat grafting and filler for the nose. my first appointment was with JW PS and the doctor I saw from JW PS suggested only that I do nose plasty using my butt skin and that I cannot do nose plasty with silicon or alloderm due to my eyes being very close and with very sensitive and thin skin. I do not have any nose bridge at all and the doctor could see that my nose bridge is totally flat and not possible to do decent height so i could only stick my butt on my nose. but at least, I know my butt is safer than silicon or alloderm or sili-derm.
even I had my appointment with ITEM PS, I did not go. I remembered the doctor saying doing some other surgery on my nose in his email but after not did not replying my emails regarding changing times when I wanted to change appointment time. I felt that there is no love lost for not going for my appointment just because they sponsored Peggy Heng for her full PS.
I only fixed 2 appointments; 1 with JW Plastic Surgery and 2 with ITEM Plastic Surgery and I only visited JW Plastic Surgery and booked with them immediately.
In Apgujeong station, there are so many plastic surgery offices around, Cinderalla, Wannabe, JK PS, Samsung, Yonsei PS...etc too many to name. Some of them do not have english website or translation or even an english translator like JW PS or even BK Hospital or Grand PS.
The other station is Sinsha station where they have S-one PS, Human PS, Item PS, OZ PS and many more. only the famous ones or doctors who had foreign clients advertised and/or have english websites. some good korean doctors do not have english sites. S-one PS is one of them Human PS has promotion every season for their nose plasty.
My suggestion for you if you are considering is pick a few that you can see that 1. the doctor has a good track like what the other forumners said, and when I met the doctor, 2. you must be comfortable with them. then you know which doctor you can work with.
S-one PS - the doctor has a very good track. He is formally from BK Hospital and he is one of those that got awards for noseplasty.
JW PS - the doctor is friends with S-one PS and they both attended the recent Seoul Rhinoplasty.
ITEM PS - is because of Peggy Heng. the blogger that they sponsored to do full face plasty.
Since you are from singapore, not sure if you are singaporean, you will know of peggy heng, jacqualine koh and Dawn Yang (that girl is arch enemy of Wendy Cheng... apart from Peggy Heng and Jacqualine Koh who are really honest, Peggy heng had her whole face sponsored while Jacqueline did hers with her own cash). Check their blogs and see what they did. Jacqueline is really nice, she replied me when I asked for some suggestions on fillers in singapore but the clinic consultant is not nice. LOLS!
I lived in Seoul for a year and a half so the weather now is best for plastic surgery. best time to avoid will be summer. autumn is best because its like air-con weather but there is strong winds in the night. Winter is surely freezing and super duper dry. Spring is also cold like 2 degrees with occasionally snow. so choose your time... and enjoy Seoul!
Good nite!
