Hey there,

I've been looking to get rhinoplasty and facial contouring surgery in Korea for the past 2 years. I've researched clinics on Purseforum, Korean websites such as Naver (I'm not Korean, I can just read the language and understand a little bit - what I don't understand, I translate with an online translator).

During the two years, I have made a list of clinics that I would personally avoid, either because of botched results or no safety regulations. This is my own personal opinion. I advise each individual to conduct their own research and see what clinics they prefer. I am in no way a professional. Just looking to help people out.

The list shows like this:
Clinic Name
Date of source (MM/DD/YYYY)

False advertisement

“Therefore, the Fair Trade Commission announced on August 22 that it has corrected 13 plastic surgery hospitals and clinics that mislead consumers with false and exaggerated advertisements through internet homepages and banner advertisements. In addition, the plastic surgeons and clinics who have been caught issued a public order on the homepage to clarify that they received corrective orders. The FTC advised that even if you are not a plastic surgeon under the Medical Law, it is necessary to confirm whether or not a plastic surgeon is treating a cosmetic surgery in order to reduce damages such as cosmetic side effects, considering that a doctor's license qualifies for cosmetic surgery.”

Corrective measures for 13 PS clinics

JW

04.08.2015

“Jin Weikun, a native of Shanxi, a fashion trainer, model, and actor, victim of the South Korean JW Plastic Hospital. Last June, she united more than a dozen victims in South Korea to carry out collective rights protection, and they separately negotiated with the hospital that implemented the plastic surgery, but all came back to nothing.”

“My chin was trimmed without formal consent

11In November 2013, Jin Weikun was attracted by a plastic reality show called "Wish List 2" called the Chinese version of Let Beauty, and he signed up to participate. Become a member of free plastic surgery in Korea.

1On January 14, 2014, she did a nipple reconstruction at the JW Plastic Hospital. Three days later, another face-lifting operation was performed, and 12 operations were performed in one day, including chin reshaping that Jin Weikun did not formally agree to. On the 4th of the following month, Jin Weikun did fat filling and areola tattooing again. After the operation, Jin Weikun noticed a crooked face. CT examination showed that the cheekbones were wide and narrow, the nose prosthesis was crooked, the bones of the nasolabial pad were asymmetric, and the angle of the jaw was asymmetric. After diagnosis, all facial operations failed, and the purpose of the operation may be to train hands.”

Faceline

04.08.2015

“At that time, the domestic "very beautiful network" recommended two Korean hospitals, Yuan Chen and Zhu Erli. Wu Yuanyuan visited the two hospitals under the leadership of the website. Because the price was too high, she found the FaceLine hospital on the TV show. On September 16, 2013, Wu Yuanyuan underwent a nose and hairline down surgery at FaceLine Plastic Surgery Hospital. A severe infection occurred immediately after the operation. After 2 months of anti-inflammatory treatment, a large scar of more than 20 cm in length was left on the forehead. The upper part of the scalp became unconscious and the hair fell off a lot. He underwent repair surgery on December 4, 2013 and June 19, 2014, respectively, and the repair failed. Wu Yuanyuan negotiated with the hospital on several occasions to defend his rights. The hospital blatantly slandered that he suffered from serious mental disorders and syphilis, and even used violence against him. He was repeatedly sent to the police station.”

Secret/Faceline/Cinderella/Opera/Odyssey

09.21.2017

“Seven hospitals and clinics, including Opera Plastic Surgery, Dr. Holmes, Kangnam Peter Hospital, Odyssey Dental Clinic, Pop Plastic Surgery, Cinderella Plastic Surgery, and Pohair, received false corrections and introductions. Secret and Faceline Plastic Surgery posted photo before and after molding on the homepage and maximized the molding effect by putting the model face on the pictures after the molding and wearing circle lenses and shooting in a professional studio. Secret plastic surgery deceived consumers by using the phrase, “holding 10,000 or more surgical know-hows” without any objective evidence. Opera Plastic Surgery, Dr. Holmes, Gangnam Peter Hospital, and Odyssey Dental Clinic have allegedly posted false posts on blogs and Internet cafés that the advertising agency actually treated at the hospital. Cinderella Plastic Surgery and Pohair Clinic have posted their introductions and recommendations on external blogs without notifying them that they have been written by hospital staff.”

DA is famous for Facial Contouring and I havent heard bad news about them yet, Im currently searching for a hospital for FC as well. I heard from Korean friend that we should look for the doctor instead of the Clinic. Dr. Lee Dong Chan and Dr. Lee Sang Woo is famous in DA. Others famous one are Dr. Park from Wonjin and Dr. Lee Seok Jae from ID.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been active for a long while. I'm still trying to compile a list of the most common PS hospitals, and find evidence on whether they should be avoided or not. I have found some recent information on Fresh Plastic Surgery. Again, I try not to place reviews as evidence of whether the hospital should be avoided. I feel that whether an individual likes a result or considers it botched depends mainly on their personal taste. I usually try to focus on big incidents (death, fires, severely botched cases, fraud, etc.), or incidents which are considered ethically wrong.

Fresh Plastic Surgery Clinic
03.05.2020
Fresh Plastic surgery has no anesthesiologist. This was brought to light by the user @MissOrange, who said: “Dr Hong at Fresh is excellent at facial fat graft and I have often named him and Dr Seo at MVP as the best in korea but was alarmed Dr Hong has no anaesthesiologist. You are comfortable with accepting this risk but many, especially those in the medical field in Western countries, are not as the risk of death is unacceptable and unnecessary. I wonder how much an anaesthesiologist would cost but surely if paying 4.4 million won to Fresh for breast fat transfer as I did it should include an anaesthesiologist to administer and monitor the effects of propofol, ketamine and midazolam (the same cocktail of drugs that were used in the HK heiress who died from the same operation, breast fat transfer)? In the UK, all anaesthesia for operations even iv sedation is administered by an anaesthesiologist. I was not prepared to risk death so cancelled 10 minutes before my surgery.”

Here is a look at their website, which lists all the Doctors/medical team present at Fresh Plastic Surgery:https://www.engfreshps.com/about-medicalteam

It only lists Dr. Hong, but fails to mention any anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologists provide pain relief during and after the surgery, as well as “make a plan for the operation that takes into account the individual needs of the patient. They monitor the patient’s bodily functions, assess the best way to treat the vital organs, and provide a balance of medications suited to the individual’s needs. The functions they need to monitor include: heart rate and rhythm, breathing, blood pressure, body temperature, and fluid balance”. It’s especially important for a surgery clinic to have an anesthesiologist in their medical team, as well as throughout the entire day that they operate on patients. It would prevent minor issues from becoming almost lethal.

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.

Would anyone happen to know anything about Modelo Clinic? They are apparently really well known and top notch when it comes to fillers. Can anyone vouch for them, or have anything I should know? I'm from Canada and seriously considering flying all the way there for fillers because the injectors in Canada are just... really far behind lol. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you!

I've been there in person and I can attest that your claim is true. How else would they pay for their own building and fancy interior decor?
