The Korean overnight article is useful but I feel they're selling themselves.. Has anyone engaged their service before?

Yeah I'd love to talk some more! I've never had surgery before, never been to Korea, don't know any korean, etc etc so I'd love to find someone else to buddy up with! Also, I've talked to some people from here and another forum and everyone is super helpful, so I'm sure we can gather some recovery tips with no problem.of course (and yes i'm going on a secret mission alone) ! I don't have the private messaging feature right now. But I have email and msn if your cool with that

How can I get you my contact info? (You could do what I did...just go to some of the other boards on here and post random things to get to 10 posts haha...there were threads like 'what tv show are you watching'....'what book did you buy'...super easy to post hehe).![]()
Heyyyyy,Hello
Dr Kim used silicon implant for my bridge and septal (nose) cartilage for my tip. He warned me that if I didn't have sufficient septal cartilage, he would take cartilage from my ear. I guess I had enough septal cartilage because none was taken from my ear. I prefer septal cartilage because there is a very small chance of absorption. I did not go under general anesthesia. I think they gave me sedation anesthesia. I think if you are getting an osteotomy (breaking of bones) for your nose, then yes you will most likely go under general anesthesia.
I think it all depends on what kind of nose you want. That is, a drastic vs. subtle change. Dr Kim is quite honest about your expectations. He will ask you what you want done to your nose, ie high bridge, small nose, pointy tip. If he doesn't think that's suitable for your face, he will tell you. If you want a dramatic change, he will tell you whether or not that's doable. I really like Dr Kim because for one, he's very honest and also he took the time out to answer any questions I had and didn't try to sell me any other procedures. So far I do like my results. I think that my face is balanced and harmonized. At first, I did have a minor freak out because of the swelling. But I'm almost 5 weeks post op and it seems like everything is settling. As mentioned my tip is still a bit swollen but its not hideous either.
Hi girls I joined this web so I can comment in this forum, anyone has done surgery in face sculpting and breast augmentation in Korea before and can share their experiences? I am thinking of going Korea sometime this year, anyone else going so we can join and go together?
CHICBABE: are you guys going just only for consultation or after consultation will you deicide to stay there for surgery?
Very nice indeed. Wow! But I worry about the after-op care since the docs can't speak English....
A friend of my friend did her eyes in Korea but when she had some worries concerning her result after-op, the doc never reply to her emails. So she had to resort to find another doc to do the revision.

Thanks for the reply^^ which hospital r u going to n wt is BA? R u guys all doing the same surgery n I have heard so many pp hiring Zoe!!! U got msn or email? : )
