Hello guys!
Now I finally took the step to get surgery done and I knew that I want to share my story with others. Here are many people posting, but while researching I felt that most people visit similar clinics, bigger ones with positive and negative reviews.
For sure, I don’t think that there’s the perfect clinic outside, but I hoped back then to find a clinic with an overall better appearance.
To me: I’m german-thai mixed. I was already born with a double eyelid and a very high nosebridge (many people asked me if I had fillers or surgery, but I never had any before). But I was still never satisfied. I wanted longer eyes, because they are very short and I have very big pupils, which make my eyes look even smaller. My aim was to get ist outer corners extended with lateral canthoplasty.
My eyelid also formed a triple eyelid on one eye. It never disturbed me that much, but I thought that when my eyes are already swollen due surgery, I could get it fixed aditionally, because my face would be already swollen anyway.
Concerning my nose: I just wanted simple tip-plasty, since my tip was a bit bulbous and formed a stup nose. I wanted a more mature look by lowering it.
I didn’t get surgery in Germany, because a clinic quoted me 5000€ for simple tip-plasty and I wasn’t sure if they could handle an european-asian nose. Moreover, I also didn’t get anything done in Thailand, because I felt that some clinics recommended me procedures in which they’re good at and not which were necessary for me. Whenever I mentioned that I wanted bigger eyes, they recommended canthoplasty in ordert o remove my monogalian fold. But I feared the distance between my eyes would look to short and weird.
That was when I decided to get surgery in Korea. I informed myself through this forum and had many online consulations with many clinics. I made an appointment with the clinics that sounded reasonable and were friendly. I knew I couldn’t feel comfortable with an unfriendly consultant. (For sure if the clinic is good, some would still consider going to these appointments, but it rather made me anxious…).
So before I came to Korea I made appointments with: a bigger clinic (I won’t mention ist name for personal reasons), Hyundae and Wannabe. I also thought of going to Kooki (Cooki ?) Clinic, but I didn’t make an appointment.
Before my arrival I decided not to go to Hyundae due financial aspects. In their e-mails they seemed very professional and they always answered everything very carefully and friendly. Just the price was way too much, but included was also a transport from the airport.
I arrived on a sunday in Seoul to make sure to be fit for the consultations on monday. I had an appointment with a bigger clinic which doesn’t really have a good reputation... The consultant was pushy and totally fake friendly. She laughed about everything I said even though I didn’t make a joke LOL. After a patient walked by and me seeing her botched nose, I knew I wouldn’t come back.
Afterwards I went spontaneously to Cooki Clinic, it was a small clinic, but they had many patients in the waiting room which were mostly korean. Even though there were only two doctors, I could directly talk to one that would’ve done my eyes, I unfortunately forgot her name. She was very friendly, also the consultant was very kind. The doctor for the nose was in a surgery, so I couldn’t talk to him. They quoted me a price of which I thought it could be over-priced, but since I hadn’t any clue how much koreans normally pay, I can’t say much about it. Actually I was thinking about going there, but they actually wouldn’t perform what I wanted, so it would’ve been very unnecessary.
On this day I had my last consultation at Wannabe PS with which I ended up having surgery with. It was also a smaller clinic with only doctors. I actually prefered small clinics, because I feel that they treat you like a patient and not another factory’s object. I also feared doctor switching, but when they’re only two doctors, it’s actually impossible. I wasn’t able to figure out a lot about them, so I just went there by myself. Maybe that helps some of you.
On Line I talked to my consultant Alexa. With her I felt the most sympathy until now. I really appreciated that she said I am already pretty, but that she can understand if I want to improve my look. In comparison: the first clinic’s consultant said that I will be pretty afterwards… (so am I ugly now? haha)
She even told me that I reminded her of her first patient that also only wanted tip-plasty haha I thought it was very cute that she could still remember some patients! First she kept asking if I got fillers, but then I told her to touch my nose bridge and then she believed it surprised. Before the doctor came, wem ade pictures of my face and some x-rays (this was the only clinic that did this for a consultation that far!). Then I met the doctor Cha who was very kind too. He smiled often and listened carefully to my ideas. He could tell that my bone structure doesn’t allow extended eye outer corners and he agreeded that the remove oft he monogalian fold would make my eyes look too close. He said he could lower my lower eyelid, but it would create a very ‘sad eye shape‘ He said he could fix my tripple eyelid (at this point I wasn’t sure if I really wanted that, because my main aim was longer eyes…)
He then commented on my nose and even touched it to feel how it is build like. I asked for a more defined nose tip and that it gets lowered a bit. Dr. Cha said he could perform that to an extend where my nose wouldn’t appear too long. I also asked for Alarplasty, but he said I wouldn’t be able to breathe if he performed that.
I was quoted a very reasonable price for eyelid and tip-plasty.
I didn’t have to think long. I felt that I should go with this clinic and that they understand my needs and wishes. So I booked the surgery fort he next day. At this time I booked the eyelid-surgery and tip-plasty + short nose correction.
