I've consulted with about a dozen famous plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam recently and JW plastic surgery was by far the most expensive not by just a little but wayyyyyy more expensive which simply proves they rip off foreigners more than any other plastic surgery clinic/hospital. Most famous/popular plastic surgery clinics in Korea including JK always charge foreigners about 2-4 times more than local Korean residents.

I completely agree! I had a consultation with them and ran so fast out of there after getting the quote. Somebody has to pay for their building and high end decor!

Some clinics are saying that they are accident-free for XX years, but some clinics/hospitals in Korea have had many accidents, both serious and minor.

There have also been a case of a Chinese patient dying from anesthesia.

It is one of the clinics that is famous and frequently mentioned in this forum, and there was a major accident during the operation, but the clinic website said that there was no accident before.

Are you talking about View? I read that somewhere here in this forum too, but I don’t believe it, as the original poster was unable to give me a source which is proving this accident.

Thank you for this!! But it sure feels like there's nowhere left to go...

There are always a lot more options out there - it's just that they are not as aggressively marketed to foreigners (non-Koreans) like us, that's why we almost never heard of them before. As long we dig deeper and do more research, we are bound to find the genuinely good ones.

I need to add another one: VIP

It's too big and does not look good on East Asian, but it might look better with South East Asian.

Yes, I would definitely add VIP and Dr Myung Ju Lee on the list.

The nose that Dr Myung Ju Lee gives is very big, high and pointy like a Caucasian nose - definitely does not look on East Asian OR South East Asian. Lee is a POS.

Hello, thanks for the thread!
I‘m actually looking for a really trustworthy surgeon in Seoul for my left upper eyelid. I have a ptosis (got that after an eye infection when I was a child, so I didn’t born with that) and had already 4 surgery’s on that eyelid. The last one was a total fail (I can‘t close my eye, it has a scar, it’s asymmetric and I can’t blink equally)

I‘m so lost, can anyone please help me finding a doctor who can fix that?? I want my left eyelid to look the same as my original right eyelid.

I don’t go outside for over 4 years now (I‘m 22 btw) :sad:

Thank you guys in advance!

got mine done at view, my bridge is off centered and they didnt even tell me about my deviation problem till after. I have to had the docter push my nose back to where I think was centered and that doesnt really even help. My breathing is also a lil blocked. I will make a full on post of my whole procedure - I did FC (zy, jaw, chin ), nose, and butt lift.

Has anyone recently gone to ID plastic surgery clinic in SK? I recently paid for a pre-deposit after failing to find any major negative feedback on them. However, I dug even deeper to find dirt on them, and now that I have, I'm heartbroken and scared. I would request a refund on the pre-deposit, even if it was only partial, but I am already doing the quarantine here in SK and have about a week until my consultation (the surgery won't happen until a few days after)

did you have your surgery in ID plastic surgery? i am searching for korean hospital right now

There’s a review on Realself, where a girl wrote that Dr. Lee Dong Chan botched her nose. But according to View’s website, this doctor doesn’t work (anymore) at View.

Item clinic has botch my nose, dr. Kim had performed my nose operation, at the same time I did mini facelift but didn't see any better result, no major change at all and it left scaring, my nose now is sunken and shorten. Not only I had breathing problem but also ugly nose. I feel depress and sad so be careful with theirs agent. Her name is Elaine, she is Singaporean and very tricky, she just rob your money and so does this item clinic, this item clinic also pay someone to promote and talk good things about item clinic so don't trust anyone here who written or talking unless you see with your own eyes, use your own judgement. This is my personal bad experiences with this clinic, they also don't care after post ops even dr Kim didn't see me right after. Now I'm looking for nose revision but I don't know which doctor that I should go. I'm kinda traumatic. So if you know an expert doctor for nose revision and ENT, certified board, please inform me. thanks so much and good luck to everyone.

I had my nose done at ITEM as well and I’m not totally botched but my nose bridge is off-center. I forget which doctor did it though.
