I heard this rumor circling. I'm seeing Dr. Seong (head doctor); he's an ENT specialist and started GNG. I'll wait to meet him before I make final decision -- only so much can be gleaned online.
Thanks. I look forward to hearing your views. Life has kicked me in the bum lately and I had to postpone my surgeries. GNG wasn't even a thing when I first started here. I was set on one hospital and now I actually have a second. I'd like to have at least 3 to consult with when I go.
 
Hey guys, its day 25 for me since having my surgery at GNG. I'm still in Seoul and I must say I am very happy with my decision so far. I did two-jaw, zygoma reduction, and genioplasty all with Dr. Choi. I plan to do a detailed write-up soon about the entire experience. Let me know if you guys have any particular questions.

Thanks for checking in! What did you have each surgery for? What are they meant to achieve?

I wasn't sure if you'd answer that in your write up. Can't wait!
 
Sure, well I'll answer that right now... I feel like I have a big face that looks a little harsh (some politely say "exotic") with strong 45 degree zygoma projection, uneven facial contour, protruded mouth (slightly ape-like), sunken midface, and a silicone chin implant that's looking too big. I still look good and get by with my naturally big eyes and double eye-lids (thank god some genetics were good!) with the right makeup, camera angles, and lighting, but I just would rather not have to rely on those factors and look good from all angles in all lighting. I wanted a softer more feminine look. My overbite, bite asymmetry, and mouth protrusion, ortho say cannot fix with braces anymore because I have short roots due to over correction of braces when I was younger. Only way is two-jaw. When I had my nose job I did paranasal implants using rib cartilage to help with the sunken midface and mouth protrusion, but it was resorbed and so the effect didnt last long. It looked awesome right after though! This time I decided to fix the underlying bone structure for good and once its all settled down to then fine tune any soft tissue work, such as getting minor fat grafting after I deswell. I could have gotten a fat graft in lieu of bone surgeries I suppose and make my entire face more filled out so that it has a smoother shape, look less angular, and look more convex instead of concave but that would also mean that I would have a bigger face. So, I opted to smooth out the structure first and then later to adjust any soft tissue stuff so everything lays nicely and may overall be smaller in actual size.

Thank you for such a detailed and honest appraisal of your concerns -most of which I share, very interested to see more of your experience and results. I relate to the "exotic" comment, being of a long angular facial type in a see of round headed euro types hehe. Good for you tackling things head on-keep healing well!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write that! that is why I am going to South Korea. Here in America, they fix pieces of the face. Not the whole. If the entire face isn't in harmony, then the piece((s) you fix don't mean anything.
 
Has it been resolved that the doctors at GNG are good and not from other troubled hospitals?

Some of the doctors are from Wonjin and ID Hospital. (It is a bit silly how this forum "blacklists" those two but loves GNG at the same time.)

GNG's previous director went on to found CBK, which specialises in facial contouring.

I think (at least speaking personally) the reason I praise GNG and not blacklisted clinics like I.D. Is because those doctors left BECAUSE of what goes on at the blacklisted clinics which I can respect. I also don't just judge a doctor by the fact that they use to work for a blacklisted clinic. I judge them based on the results I've seen, the stories I've been told and after physically meeting them the vibe they gave. I didn't know beforehand when I booked my surgery with GNG that some doctors had previously worked for I.D, wonjin etc. in fact Hazel (the interpreter) told me herself that she and others had worked for other clinics and left because they didn't agree with what went on and how those hospitals handled certain situations plus after meeting with both Dr.Choi and Seong I felt extremely comfortable and confident that a)they would not switch doctors (you can also request video footage if told ahead of time of the entire surgery) and b) that the doctors cared not only about fixing things I wanted aesthetically but also making sure I wouldn't have any nerve damage or permanent damage at all. Dr.Choi showed me all of my scans AND I wanted my chin even lower than it is now (that's what we both wanted actually XD) but after putting a bigger implant in because I have an overbite he took it out and put in a smaller one thinking not only about how I would look aesthetically but also about function and the future of my health which was HUGE for me.
