I am Korean who lived abroad for about 12 years, so I may be or think different from 100% Koreans out here. That's why I'm also getting info from this forum and not only the local communities.
I guess clinics being mentioned in this forum are basically popular or huge but I’m going to share my experience from Jayjun, which should be very unfamiliar to you all.
How did I get to know this place? It was my friend who got her eyes and nose job and the result was impressive :) So I booked a consultation right away.

Clinic: The clinic was big, clean and neat. I guess it was a newly built building. 1st floor – desk, consultation rooms / 2nd floor – after care rooms, consultation rooms and doctors’ office / 3rd floor – operation rooms, patient rooms / 5th floor – aesthetics and skin care. (no 4th floor.. cuz of bad luck? lol)

Service: I was surprised to get greeted by the staffs at the desk right after opening the door. I didn’t need translation, but I saw a Chinese lady getting help by the staff to fill out the chart. Felt like there’s no need to worry much in communication even I didn’t know how to speak Korean. They offered me some tea while waiting.

Consultation: My consultation was about double eyelid, rhinoplasty, fat graft, and double chin lipo (they called this venus lifting). My consultant gave me basic information about the procedures before speaking with the doctor. She explained with ps terms but still understandable which made me consider that she is also professional in this field unlike other consultants I’ve met in other clinics who were just like a seller to just convince me for the surgery without any other knowledge.
My nose was my main concern, as it was with hump, arrowed, deviated, wide nasal bone and etc, meaning that I really needed a skilled doctor. All doctors (I saw 3 doctors since one doesn’t cover all parts) were calm and they didn’t rush or seem to be unthrough.

Cost: nose bridge, tip plasty, deviated nose correction, hump removal, osteotomy = $4,800 non incision double eyelid = $850, forehead fat graft = $1,700 and venus = $ 1,700 (These are just estimated costs since I paid in KRW and I only remember the costs in USD cuz it was easier for me to calculate)

Operation: I got operated under general anesthesia, I think it took about 5 hours. As mentioned above, hump removal and deviated nose correction was added for my nose and I think my nose was the part where it took so long due to a complex job. My forehead was a bit flat but I didn’t want so obviously round forehead, so I asked the doctor to make it as natural as possible. My chin was ok, not bad but I decided to do it altogether. Operation was carried out in a hygienic conditioned room and there was one bed per each operation rooms.

After surgery: I requested if I could stay a night there even I was planned to go home since my condition was really bad, worse than I expected. I could barely open my eyes or mumble, but the staff was so kind checking my status or helping me to eat.
So I took a good care of myself from then, swelling got way better. It’s been about a month now, and I’m almost normal. I know I rushed into deciding the clinic just by seeing my friend’s satisfying result but I don’t regret cuz I’m happy with my face :)


I am willing to show my pictures but I don't know how to do so...... maybe you can PM me for kakao
 
This hospital is the large black and grey building right? With a cosmetics shop they own next door I think? My office is right by it, so I pass by a lot and have been meaning to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
 
hi meredith, hope you are recovering well:):)

I have been very interested in this clinic also for nose and forehead fg but didnt come across anyone on this forum that went there. I tried pm you for pictures but I dont have the pm priviliges yet, is it possible if i add you on kakao and talk to you there?

Yeah sure but my kakao isn't working now for some reason so maybe we can chat thru Line :) Do you have line ID?
 
Hi meredithodg, glad to hear your surgery went well! Thanks so much for sharing. I've been considering Jayjun as well, but I've only seen a few reviews so far and wasn't sure if they were advertising. Did you happen to see people in the waiting room? I'm trying to determine if they have a more natural aesthetic. :)

Just curious where else you consulted, if that's something you don't mind sharing!
