Hi all just found this thread and went though all the posts abt which clinics to avoid for PS.

Im actually interested in getting Facial contour (square jaw reduction, zygoma reduction and genioplasty) and maybe facial lipo or buccal fat removal, along with rhinoplasty and possibly eyelid surgery.

I have actually done an online consult with a few clinics and am planning to visit them f2f for consult in a few months time.

here's a list:
- Note plastic surgery
- 345 plastic surgery
- BT plastic surgery
- AB plastic surgery (considering)
- 1% plastic surgery

Does anyone have any experience or reviews with the above clinics? I tried finding them online for some of the clinics and so far theres mix reviews but overall positive. Anyone has recommendations on the clinics that cld do the procedures i wanted (preferably not factory hospitals as im rly scared of ghost doctors or botched surgeries)...

also, anyone has experience doing botox or fillers with Fine clinic, Renovo clinic or toxnfill clinic?

please avoid Braun hospital, I did forehead reduction with dr Lee Wu seub, and the result more than disaster, he draw on my face , the incision very away from the hairline and wavy, I really shocked till now, please avoid this hospital at all
Omg. This is terrible. Why would he even cut you like this!! What was he even thinking! I was considering Braun but I have to now reconsider. At this point I am considering just doing my rhinoplasty in the U.S or Istanbul. I have read through all 33 pages and it doesn't seem like there are any quality surgeons in SK who can give consistency. Also, it seems there is no transparency with these clinics when it comes to pricing.

Very disappointing! I am also very big on cleanliness and post op care and communication. That is a huge requirement for me when I am looking up surgeons. It almost seems like these surgeons work is dependent on how they feel that day. And I do not need to be on anyone's operating table and that surgeon is having a bad day. Nope. Not me. I have a very volatile temper and I do not need to get myself in trouble in a whole other country. Sigh. Back to the drawing board.
 
I have read terrible botched stories about this country especially for BBL. But I guess it’s the same for other surgeries
Oh yes. Definitely for every country seems to have awful botched stories. I have been to Colombia twice. Accompanied friends on two separate occasions. They both had excellent results. Absolutely beautiful and natural looking results. Two different doctors. Like any country. You have to be very specific with who you go to and very important also is the after care and surgery house you stay at. I would never recommend Colombia for facial surgery. I saw someone who had a rhinoplasty there. I thought it was ugly but they liked it. So I guess it also depends on personal preference. But I don't think i would recommend Colombia for any facial surgery.

What surgery is South Korea known for to do well? I always assumed it would be face. What country has anyone heard of that does good facial surgeries?

Oh I forgot to mention. Both friends did BBL as well as other body surgeries.

Hi I’m planning to go to Korea this November to get a rhinoplasty. I only want autologous rib cartilage to be used on my nose and no foreign implants. Upon my research these Hospital are on my top lists in no particular order.

-VIP, Dr. Lee
-JW, Dr. Suh
-Mighty, Dr. Park
-Graceclinic, Dr. Lee

Anyone have experience with these clinics/hospitals?
