Korean Plastic Surgery Clinics to Avoid (w/ evidence)

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

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.”

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.”

Hi @cherryblossom0731, may I know what you got done at Ilac and cost? What was your experience? I'm considering Ilac for a bunch of stuff for the eyes like eyebag removal and repositioning of fat, ptosis, correction of A-frame. Thanks!
Hi! Sorry I just saw this but I got nonincisional des with pstosis correction along with a bridge augmentation (silicone) and tip plasty (ear cartilage). The cost was roughly around ~3-3.5k usd around that time (i paid in cash so I was not charged the VAT, I did same day deposit, and got a discount for having multiple procedures). I personally liked my experience at ILAC. If you would like more info message me on kkt @xgrayce. i also have a thread talking about my full experience at ILAC! :smile:

I am so happy and sad at the same time that there is a thread like this. Thank you everyone! I was once keen on Braun but been hearing quite some negative reviews about the clinic recently. Does anybody have an experience? Thank you!
 
Anyone got some feedback on Opera? I'm in contact with them for facial countoring and they're pretty cheap (and they have model promotions going on), but they have a pretty bad score on Sungyesa so I'm a bit hesitant to go forward. Most of the posts about them here seem to be promoters too so I'm a bit skeptical

Does anyone know anything bad about ab plastic surgery, they don’t seem to show up much on this forum but they seem to be popular on unni. I plan on going with them because of the before and afters on unni. I’ve been researching clinics for a few years now and I originally was going with go with atop but I never seen a doctor whose asthetic perfectly matches what I want MULTIPLE times.
 
I already paid the DP to reserve the op date with Braun and would do the surgery in the middle of dec. I would do DES+FC+rhino (dr. Kim & dr. Lee) , hope everything would go smooth (so scared even now my heart is beating hard thinking about it)
How was your DES With Braun? Can you please update us? Braun is one of those I am eyeing to go and I would like to see real reviews. Appreciate it. I hooe youre healing well
