Dr. Yun is specialized in nose too. One example. The friend I mentioned has another friend visiting Dr. Yun on Dec 14th for her nose revision. Ironically, she was seeing Dr. Yun like 4-5 years ago for her nose job. She wanted tall and long nose in spite of the fact that she has short and low nose. Dr. Yun recommended a nose job with average size so that it could fit in her face better. He also warned her that ignoring all her face feature will inevitably result in painful revision. She did not like it and actually got her nose done with another surgeon in Korea who agreed to do everything she wanted.

Unforturnately, what Dr. Yun predicted actually happened. The silicon moved and started pointing out at the end. People who is planning on doing any kind of revision should be able to image what a nightmare it is. She went back to Korea last year for a nose revision and visited many large clinics but no one wanted to touch her case. The reason is the silicon has adhered to other tissues which makes the whole surgery risky. She was desperate and contacted Dr. Yun again. They scheduled the face-face consultation for Dec 14th. She is now in Korea. I will see her after she comes back.

I trust Dr. Yun. I believe everything will turn out to be fine. I actually asked him if I can get my nose done when I was in Korea. He said "No". He said if he did the nose for me, he would need to change the shape of my face, after that, he would have to do my chin to make everything look natural and make sense.

@caitlinlim: Thanks for the info! I went on Wonjin's website and since they do have an english site, I would think they would cater towards international patients yet it is hardly mentioned in this forum. So I have a feeling that some of the people recommending Wonjin would be marketers...

Although this one guy that posted on another topic seemed honest about his work done at Wonjin. He got a nose job with the director and a chin implant with someone in the clinic but he did mention that he wasn't too pleased with his new chin. I did nonetheless make a consult at Wonjin with the director but I think I'm going to cancel the appointment because I get the feeling that there are a few false experiences. That is, these experiences are posted by marketers and not real patients. Just by that act of dishonesty, I have a bad feeling about the clinic as an establishment.

As I benefit a lot from this forum and realize that it is helpful for people planing on going to Korea if I share my plastic surgery experience.

I went to Seoul on Dec 4th and left on Dec 11th. What I got is double eyelids.

Clinics:
Foreigners who don't understand Korean have very limited information available for them. I don't understand Korean and before I went to Korea, I read every single threads here and came up with 3 clinics I wanted to visit: Teuimp, Regen and Banobagi. My Korean friend highly recommended YNY Beauty. I did not put it onto my list because its website is not very informative and there are not lots of fancy before and after pictures.

I visited Teuimp on Dec 6th. Dr. Kwon recommended three procedures for my eyes: suture double eyelids, eyelid muscle elevation and inner corner cut. I did question about his approach as the distance between my eyes are close, does the inner corner cut make it even closer? and is the double eyelids gonna resolve along with the time if we take suture method. Dr. Kwon said he can do incisional method or whatever I want.

I visited Regen the same day. It is a very busy clinic. We waited like 50 minutes even with a pre-scheduled appointment. Dr. Kim recommened partial incisional double eyelids, inner corner cut and outter corner cut. I still have questions about the inner corner cut and hesitate about outter corner cut because of so many bad feedback about this approach.

I went to Banobagi in the afternoon. Dr. Park recommended only one prodcedure: double embedded (double suture) eyelids. He did not think my condition is suitable for either inner corner cut or out corner cut. I actually buy in what he said even though he is a little arrogant. The consultant helped me book the next day surgery and pushed me to put deposit to secure the surgery time.

I acutally ended up with YNY Beauty even though I have paid the deposit to Banobagi. Long story short. I had a consultation with Dr. Yun, the owner of the clinic. My Korean friend took me there and she told me that she had 5 friends having surgeries there and they are all happy with the result. Also, personally, I feel that Dr. Yun is a very experienced and honest person. He did not recommend any cut because those will lead to other surgeries in order to keep my face proportional. He said less is more, just do what is really necessary. He graduated from the the most prestigious university for plastic surgery in Korea and now is teaching this major in a university. He offered me unbelievably good price because my friend took me there. I had my surgery done 1 hour after the consultation. and I am very happy with the result.

YNY Beauty is not as popular as other clinics and not being discussed a lot by foreigners because they are being modest (which is not necessarily a good strategy) not spending money on commercials or decoration of their clinics which eventually become part of patients' payments anyway. However, this strategy indeed lowers the cost so we can benefit from it. Also, do not rely on those before/after pictures. You can never be the same as those girls in pics because we have different faces. The same procedure may result in totally different look. Dr. Yun is not anxious for more patients as he has enough business for his small scale clinic. Also because of this, he can be honest to you and not desperately convince you to do more precedures than what you really need.

Translator:
I did hired Zoe as the translator. I heard her name from this website and booked her time like one month in advance. She went to those 3 clinics with me and translated for me. She did not go to YNY with me because it was really last minute decision and my friend was with me for the surgery on the same day. My two cents is if you don't speak the language and don't have Korean friend, you do need a translator as most of the docture speaking only broken english.

Now it is the 10th day post the surgery. I wear makeup, go outside without sun glasses and meet up with friends. Everyone says that I look super natural. Dr. Yun said that I will look even better the end of the first month, can't wait. I can't swim though for another 2 weeks just to give a little more time for my eyes to recover.

I will post my pics shortly

this is their english website: http://www.ynybeauty.com/english/yny_english1.htm, not very informative though as I said.

there is an email address on the bottom of their Korean website. Try to send them emails instead of calling cuz their reception does not speak english at all.

As to Teuimps, Dr. Kwon is a nice person and seems honest. I did not choose this clinic for surgery because of the approach he recommended. I did not buy in the inner corner cut and was not sure about the muscle elevation. I booked the consultation with them at the first place because I heard some positive comments about it. But again, it is just not the clinic for me.

In terms of the deposit (I remember that someone asks this question on this thread): they normally will ask for 20% of the surgery fee but you can definitely bargin on it especially if you are not 100% sure about doing surgery with them. but again, if you are sure, the deposit is not a big deal as you will be doing surgery with them shortly anyway.
