So, yesterday I got undereye bag removal and rhinoplasty at jw clinic. I couldn't get enough time off to shop around once landed, and I was afraid I wouldn't get a slot since it's busy season.
I emailed a lot of clinics and visited several 3 years ago when I chose where to get acculift which I had done at grand. Jw was in the middle for price but I just went for it based on what I read here. I went ahead and booked my slot for eyebag removal and rhino for 500usd each so 1000usd bank transfer to jw. The rhino was something I was unsure about but didnt want to risk not getting it done. Consultants online and even when I visited clinics in seoul three years ago all had different things to say about my nose.
Anyway, emily quoted me 1600~1800usd for eyebags and 3500~4500 for primary rhinoplasty. I ended up paying 1000usd to reserve my slots then another 5600 usd when I got there. So a total of 6600usd. I had problems with payment since I wanted to split it on two cards. My bank only lets me withdraw 3000usd per day so I was going to put the rest on my credit card. But then my whole account was frozen. So embarrassing because I had more than enough to pay emily said that she could hold onto my passport until my checkup and I could figure out how to pay then. Luckily my bf called my bank while I was getting my eyes done and sorted it out for me.
So, my appointment was at 10am but emily told me to come at 9:30. Eye surgery at 2pm with dr. Kang and 5pm nosejob with dr. Suh. I got there at like 9:50 because of all the traffic. When I got in, everyone seemed to be expecting me and said my name, haha. Right away emily gave me a form to fill out. I spoke to dr.kang about my eyes. Emily translated. It's a straightforward procedure so I wasnt worried. He seemed very nice. Afterwards, another girl took photos of me.
After the photos were printed out, I spoke with dr. Suh. He speaks English fluently, so emily didn't need to translate. Right away he pointed out everything that I thought about my nose but didnt want to hear! I was hoping I could get away with just tip plasty but I needed my nasal bridge narrowed and also I had a small bump on my bridge. He really made me feel calm about everything so I trusted his judgement
Right away I went to my little recovery room with my bf and got changed for my eyejob. That was super simple. Emily translated for the nurses while they were preparing me for surgery. Before I knew it, I was being helped back to my room by Emily. I slept on and off from like 1:30 (they did my eyes early) until 5:30 with an ice pack on and an iv in. My bf hung out in the room. I think my nose was done a little late. 5:30 or 6:00. It took over 2 hrs and emily had to stay with me until I was ready to go. I feel bad for her since the whole clinic had already closed and the doors were locked. She explained to me and my bf the aftercare with oral and topical meds along with a sheet. She gave me lots of qtips and three ice packs.
Overall, my experience so far has been great! I do not regret my choice at all and can't wait to see the results. I go back tomorrow so I'll post again afterwards
