In Korea for 2 weeks, Should I pre-book surgery date or do it after f2f consulation?

[Winter24]

I went to zestar. I am pretty happy with my results although I would say it is still too early to tell. At the moment, my face is still not very symmetrical (hopefully due to swelling). I have to say that the doctor did a pretty good job at achieving what I wanted. I had a large bulbous nose that had like no bridge between my eyes. Now my nose is slimmer and taller (what it wanted). The only thing is the bridge does look very centered (so not 100% happy yet). As for my eyes, I had uneven eyes that I wanted to make even and increase crease height. My crease height has been increased to a height I like and my eyes are more even then before but are still not super symmetrical. Overall, I’m happy with my results so far.

What materials did they use for your nose? Do you know if Zestar does rib for bridge and tip for those that don’t want silicone.

What procedures did you get for your eyes?

I did pre-book mine, so everything is arranged and organised before i go to S. korea. It gave me the flexibility to do more stuff without me worrying about the clinics (if you decided to choose different clinics on different procedures), i have less stress. Of course you won’t know the feel of the clinic if you don’t do any consultation but so far I don’t have any regrets.

Are you going in summer? If it’s summer you might not get a slot as some clinics will be busy.

I highly recommend ILAC as a clinic their Post op care is really good plus their staff is good. I did body liposuction from them though.

I think it depends. I am in Korea for week right now for consultations. I have a complicated case with functional issues. I am glad I didn't pre-book. I paid a deposit to a clinic and regretted so they refunded me. After many consultations here, the one I pre-booked was the one I like least. If you have a straight and simple case, yes, it is a good idea if you know the doctor and style. However, if you have a revision, I think your face is priceless and you shouldn't rush.

For me, it's better to reach out to the clinic you have in mind and schedule a consultation first. So that you can check whether everything is compatible with your needs and preferences. During the consultation, you can personally evaluate the clinic, the doctor, pricing, and other relevant factors to ensure they align with your expectations. So If everything checks out, then you can proceed to book a surgery date with confidence

Exactly. For me, I went to noselab firstly with a high hope. They gave me wrong diagnosis and yet quoted me 36m kr. I am glad I didn’t book surgery before ahead.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. A consultation can really make a difference in understanding their expertise and whether they meet your expectations. Don't hesitate to explore other options and find a clinic that suits your needs best. Taking the time to research and verify everything beforehand can save you from potential disappointments like you faced. Good luck with your search, and I hope you find a clinic that provides you with the results and care you desire!
