@pinkypuppet37 I paid DAPRS 2.5 million won for 2 full facial fat grafting and included a 10% tax refund. Be prepared to negotiate with the consultant in person. The price initially started higher! I mentioned the price given to a friend and asked to match this as she had been offered 1.8 million for one or 2.5 million fo two. They agreed. I have since negotiated a third as although the fat grafting has stayed in the forehead and temples (only had it done once there), I think I need a top up again to the malar cheeks and around the mouth to stay permanently six months after my second. DA started at 1.5 million won and I started at 700,000 won for the third. We agreed at 1 million won. I would say know your budget and if the quote is still too high over kakao, meet with Dr Kim in person and then afterwards try your best to get them to work with you so it can be affordable for you. If you are active on social media, this can help with negotiations. I feel foreigners should be paying as close to local prices as possible and finding clinics that do this and have board certified plastic surgeons then becomes a win:win.
Wow those prices are amazing! Do you speak Korea? Were you able to hide the fact that you live in the UK at all?

You get what you pay for is the lesson I learned. I wasted money and trips to Korea getting fat graft at DAPRS. There were times I thought I had a shadow doctor as the results were so bad. The last time I went there, they said the consultant had left and they had no record of me being scheduled for fat graft. Then the manager wanted millions of won! It was a horrendous experience. I would never recommend DAPRS to foreigners. At the time I did not speak Korean. Since I have taken 2 years of Korean to protect myself. They see your passport on kakao as you have to give your passport number and country to book surgery. If you bargain too low, you may end up with a shadow doctor in a big hospital like DAPRS.

Oh I'm so sorry I misread things there
 
I had my 30 minute consult for £250 with Mr David Floyd, Cambridge med school grad, plastic surgeon on Monday (see photo in waiting room). The good news is that he agreed to breast fat transfer and suggested using my love handles ie flanks which echoes what Dr Hong at Fresh was going to lipo for fat transfer. Mr Floyd said my thighs had lumps and he did not want to use an area that had been liposuctioned before. He said he could lipo my knees if my lower back (love handles) were not enough. He estimated I needed 150 ccs per breast to reinflate. He showed me lots of b+a breast fat transfer photos on his computer and one was 4 months postop. They all looked beautiful post breast FT. He definitely matches my aesthetic. The bad news is the NHS has extended their takeover of private hospitals for covid until Xmas. I am on Mr Floyd's surgical wait list with an estimate of 4 months!

As he won't use my thighs, I can book mini thigh lift but still waiting to hear back from Dr O. Now that my arms are super skinny, my thighs look super fat in comparison!

This explains part of the appeal of Korea. You can get next day surgery and consults are free.

@MissOrange you look so good! You said your post above that in your old picture (the one you don't like) that your "nostrils were flared." How did you fix that? Did Dr. Seo do that with fat, or was that fixed w/your nose job in London?
Hi @catelet, the latter. Mr Ion's open rib rhino corrected the flared nostrils. My 15 year old tip rhino with Mr Stanek was losing its shape which explained the tip fallng and the flared nostrils. Still, 15 years is a good length of time for rhino to last. Mr Ion's rhino is now over 4 years in longevity and the rib is holding.

Today's post is on my progress with booking thigh lift. Sadly I have had no reply to 2 emails and 1 whatsapp to Dr O requesting a surgery date for mini thigh lift, so have booked a virtual consult with Dr Fulvio Urso-Baiarda, a Oxford med school grad who performs 10 thigh lifts a year in Berkshire. He has 2 happy thigh lift patients on RS. My only reservation is a long scar but will ask for removable sutures and not buried dissolvable sutures to reduce scarring. A virtual consult costs £100 and I have a 45 minute zoom slot in 2 weeks time. I am trying to exercise to try to save £5.5-6k full thigh lift cost so will see what I can do before the consult but not too hopeful as my fat bulges and loose thigh skin are too obvious and I cannot keep up exercise for the rest of my life so surgery will be more definitive. He gave a 64 yo lady 20 yo toned thin thighs (see photo)! He has photos on his website as well as RS!

Dr Dan Marsh at The Plastic Surgery Group, 100 Harley St is another plastic surgeon great at thigh lifts. His price is over £6.4k. I may consult with him too. See the photo collage of Dr Marsh's patient Nancy's B&A vs my preop right thigh. I so need thigh lift!

I am 100% decided on Mr Floyd for breast FT after seeing lots of beautiful FT breasts on his computer. I am still awaiting quotes from his secretary and have been told I am on his op wait list.

With the covid pandemic it means travelling abroad for ps is too difficult. Dr Fulvio's PA says 2 week self quarantine prior to op and Dr Floyd's secretary writes 2 week self quarantine and get a negative covid swab test 72 hours before surgery.

Yay :drinks: happy that the consultation went well. Where will the thighlift scar be? Anchored to your groin or vertical? Dr. Fulvio's results are fantastic but the incisions seem long. Have you braced yourself mentally incase he recommends a vertical incision? Will you still do it?

I noticed that my inguinal hernia scar is truly invisible, ie I can't even find it, as the skin closure was with a removable suture, as are the groin lipo scars for the thigh lipo for face fg. Dr Floyd tried to find the thigh lipo port scars. I think the key to invisible scars is not to get buried subcuticular dissolvable sutures as the skin then reacts to a foreign body left under the skin for weeks! If Dr Fulvio agrees to this, then yes I can get a long scar and remove the sutures myself in 3 days not 7.

Alas my periareolar breast lift was closed with buried subcuticular dissolvable sutures and Dr Floyd remarked on my 12 month hypertrophic areola scars/keloids. He advised I apply silicone gel. This reminded me to put on my scaraway silicone gel tapes. My under breast incision scars are 19 months old and are thin, flat but darkly pigmented. Again subcuticular dissolvable sutures were used, my mistake for forgetting to say use removable sutures.

That`s a good tip with the sutures. Can`t wait for your post thigh lift update.

Trying this 7 day challenge to reduce my thighs by 3 cms! Completed day 1. The chinese video has had 25 million views! She reduced her thigh from 19.5 inches to 18.5 inches in 7 days! My thigh muscles are burning! Must be working. My thighs are starting at 18 inches on the left and 19 on the right on day 1. If I can tighten and tone my thighs then I can skip thigh lift! I am doing most of the exercises lying in bed!

this could definitely work but I think you`ll need to do the exercises regularly for the results to last. Have you tried RF/Cavitation treatments? Thinking of trying them for my abs.

Hi @Mazikeen, thank you for your thoughts. No I haven’t tried RF/Cavitation. I rang Dr Marsh’s office but his first consultation appointment is in December! And first surgery date April of next year! That rules him out for thigh lift. My thigh exercise only lasted a day. Lost the impetus already! I reviewed my past weights and measurements and even at 95 lbs my right thigh was 19 inches so I don’t think diet or exercise will help. The skin has been stretched too much from 7 lipos and needs excising. Guess that means I go with Dr Fulvio in Berkshire. My virtual consult appointment is in 2 weeks time.

It seems that you do not buy time with a virtual consult as surgery cannot be booked without a face to face consult, so I have rescheduled for a £230 in person consult with Dr Fulvio in Windsor for the last week of this month. It is an hour’s drive away so close enough for surgery too! He can decide whether I need a crescent thigh lift or a long scar lift. Getting excited as I may get a surgery date even before my breast fat transfer! Still awaiting to hear from Dr Floyd’s secretary on prices for breast FT. Once the thighs are lifted then it means I just have my flanks for one breast fat transfer as Floyd does not want to use my over lipo’d thighs. No more decisions about a good face but fat body or a saggy face but slim body! Hope to literally have my cake and eat it! :smile: I am banking on future fat cells expanding in my chest and bum as I will have lifted or liposuctioned everywhere else!
