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:

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.”

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 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.

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.

I wouldn't have gone to VIP if I had seen it on this list, but I went in 2017 and I like my results. I wish I had gotten my depressor septi nasi muscle sorted out at the time though.

Item clinic has botch my nose, dr.

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'm sorry the results were bad for you :sad: can I ask what Dr. Kim's name is and how long you've had the surgery? I heard some had great results from Cocoline clinic, if you wanna check them out. Are you looking for doctors/clinics in Korea only or are you looking in the country where you're living now too?

I'm thinking of getting rhinoplasty at Hyundai too, so if anyone has gotten a rhino there and has b/a pictures, I'd love to see them. The clinic looks pretty clean and neat, it's a bit pricey compared to other clinics but that could be a good sign if it's because they're offering quality work. My only issue is that they seem to respond very slowly on WhatsApp, but I'm assuming they're really busy now so that's why

Hi, I chose Hyundai coz I have heard good reviews about them and their bnas seems quite good too. Similar to the kind of nose I wanna get. They are a medium-sized clinic which is pretty popular among the Koreans I think, slightly pricey but I believe in paying for good nose jobs. Coz if they do it well for my primary, I dun have to go for revision rhinoplasty. That's my aim hahahha

Seems that they do quite a lot of revision rhinoplasty cases as well. U might wanna check out their instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hyundai_aesthetics/) and see if its what u like. =)

Sorry you had to go through all that and thank you for warning everyone. Is Dr. Kim still working there?

I’m also looking for revision rhino. My current shortlist is JW, Dream, Cocoline, Severance hospital:

1, JW (Dr. Suh) seems to be an expert in revision rhino and JW offers 3D printed silicone for bridge implant.
2, Dream seems to be doing good rhino over many many years (surgeons don’t move around, which means they probably do not face that many revision cases/bad rep etc)
3, Cocoline have ENT specialists (But not plastic surgeon), if your case leans towards being medically complicated, maybe you can check them out
4, Severance hospital. Another PF user did a revision many years ago and seemed to be happy (I think she left this forum already, which could mean no issue and satisfied with her results). They’re a university-affliated hospital so I think they can definitely take a complicated revision case.

If you are okay with discussing about this, may I know what procedures/methods and material did Dr. Kim (Item) used?
