Korean Plastic Surgery Clinics to Avoid (w/ evidence)

I would add x to the list…they botched my nonincisional DES and ptosis correction, refused to give me medical records, CCTV footage, or information on the surgical technique afterwards. Overall extremely sketchy and seems to be catered towards butchering foreigners to make money.

In other news, there is a surgeon who is willing to try to remove the sutures at the 3 week mark in the hopes that my eyes will go back to normal…I’m not sure I should try it or just wait 6 months for a full revision. I begged girin to remove the sutures at the 1.5 week mark because I knew they messed up and they refused and told me to go back for a revision in 6 months. I want to avoid a full incision revision because of my risk of keloid scarring but am not sure if removing the sutures now will cause a stranger looking eyelid if it partially reverts to normal or doesn’t revert to normal at all…

Could you also share who is the surgeon?
Is this your primary or revision when you went to x? Thanks!

Is mina plastic surgery part of this blacklisted clinic
I do not know if Mina Plastic Surgery is on a blacklisted clinic but I wish I did more research before choosing them. They have a few videos on YouTube and the doctor speaks perfect English so I went with them. I think Dr Cha is very good, skillful and professional, but his communication team is the worse ever. After a lower blepharoplasty surgery which went well, I had the stitches taken out after 7 days. There were some issues with communication and payments before I got to Seoul but that was more annoying. After a few days, unfortunately one side of my scar tore and started to bleed. I don't blame Dr Cha for this that could happen. However, when I tried to contact the office (via email and the WhatsApp account they used), it was radio silent. I was quite anxious and would just like someone to reach out and let me know what to do. Anyway, besides an email saying "Sorry but we'll get someone to reach out to you" (which never happened), I never heard from them. Super frustrating and disappointing as I did like the doctor and the procedure went well.

Everyone should avoid Regen too! Dr. Oh is the worst ! He performed a full v line on me without my consent and told me the next day he changed the mini v line we agreed to for a full v line. My jaw is almost all shaved off and numb I reviewed the scans with Oromaxillofacial surgeons and they said he cut my nerve line.
Dr lee is horrible too. Suyen and Alice Lee the consultants are unresponsive.
Read my thread
Omg… sorry to hear that! Regen seems to have a lot of bad reviews. Same with Grand
 
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:

Korean High School Student goes on comma and eventually died while doing eye and nose surgery. Grand tried to hide the news and taking down any posting or news made online. But a TV documentary MBC PD's Note made an episode (Episode 993) about the accident details and they even manage to interview on some ex-surgeons and ex-nurses who was there on the day of accident.

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.”

“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

“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.”

“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.”
