Hi guys,
I'm currently in Seoul and 4 days ago I had undergone my revision rhinoplasty.
Just like many of you, I did research on my own. Thanks to purseforum members' reviews, I've learnt alot about PS and Korean doctors. That's why I feel like it's my turn now to share with you my experience, hoping that it helps.
I arrived in Seoul 1 week ago. At first I wanted to consult with 5 clinics, which are said to have the best rhino surgeons in Seoul: Dr Park at Dream, dr Suh at JW Beauty, dr Kim at April 31, dr Kim at Item Clinic, and another doctor at 101 PS clinic. Unfortunately, just before my arrival there was national holidays in Korea (from 8 to 10th September) so doctors at Item and 101 PS clinic just left Korea and won't be back before the end of September.
So finally, I consulted with doctor Park at Dream, doctor Suh at JW Beauty, doctor Kim at April 31.
Here are some of my experiences in consulting with the clinics:
1) dr Park at Dream:
Before going to Seoul, I was almost sure about getting my revision rhino with doctor Park. Since I'd been doing research during 2 years before my trip, I know that Dream is one of the most well known clinics for rhino in Korea, beside April 31, 101 and JW. I read alot of reviews about him with different opinions. As for me, I expected him to be a nice and open minded person after reading someone's thread but I'm disappointed. He's polite, he seems to be a skilled surgeons but he didn't talk much. I couldn't have a real exchange with him, I asked specific questions but he answered in a general way. he's a calm person, sometimes he did smile slightly but I couldn't feel comfortable with him. His analyses about my deviated nose was really short, I felt like he wanted to make it quick.
But Daphne, she's an angel! She's cute, gentle, she took care of me during the consultation and offered me a very good deal. The consultant too, she was soooo nice. They didn't give me the "commercial / marketing attitude" that bothers me like other clinics. I felt so comfortable with these two girls that I almost got my operation there, but finally I visited other clinics and realised that dr Park's nose style wasn't my favourite. He creates natural nose, which I like, but the nose tip looks a litle too short in before/after pictures they showed me.
And the consultant's nose looked really bad, her tip was lifted too high so that her nostrils showed up too much. her nose really turned me off
, this is the reason why I didn't choose Dream in spite of the very good deal that they offered me.
2) dr Suh at JW Beauty
Well JW surely offers the best price in the market. dr Suh was nice, but he only performs open rhinoplasty so I didn't choose him. I'm really scare of the scarring. I don't know if i'm right, but 2 days ago I met a girl in my guest house who had undergone her rhino with doctor Suh. The scarring was really obvious, which is normal 'cause she's only 1 week post op, but she told me that she needed to stay longer than expected because her nose hasn't been healed fast enough for the stitches to be removed on time. I'm told that it'll take more time for your nose to be healed with open rhino...
3) Dr Kim Jae Hoon at April 31
This is the clinic I choose for my revision rhinoplasty. I liked everything in this clinic, the very skilled doctor, the friendly staff and nurses, the consultant's perfect nose (the real example is important right? lol)
Before having my appointment with dr Kim Jae Hoon, I was told that April 31 is pretty pricey because doctor kim Jae Hoon is really famous in Korea for rhino. I told myself, okay I shouldn't expect too much here, the doctor wouldn't have enough time to answer all my questions. But I was wrong! Doctor Kim Jae Hoon was sooo friendly, informed and professional. After checking my CT scan, he took time to explain to me what's wrong with my nose, why it's deviated and which method should be used. He smiled with me and my friend all the time. Oh I forgot to mention, I was accompanied by a friend who was interested in revision rhino too but she didn't book the appointment. When she was in the consultation room with me, she asked him questions about her nose too and he answered them all, even he knew that she wouldn't have the operation with him. He made me feel really comfortable and I trusted him naturally. Most of all, if you could see the consultant's nose. Oh my god it is perfect! Her nose bridge is high yet natural and very feminine, you guys should go there and check it yourself. Her nostrils aren't shown up at all, unlike Dream consultant's nose, which was really reinsuring! Another factor which made me choose April 31 is that it's also well known among local clients. Everytime I came there, there were alot of korean clients. There's one korean girl who talked to me, she came there for revision rhino too and she said that doctor Kim Jae Hoon is the best. I think that it's important to know Korean clients' opinion, because there are doctors who are famouse oversea thanks to their international marketing strategies but no korean knows about them.
So for all these reasons, although April 31 is the most pricey I still choosed them. Now I'm 4th days post ops. I'll show you pictures soon when I can get rid of these chipmuck cheeks lol. Wish me luck
If you guys have any questions that I can answer, about the trip, consultation experience, don't hesitate! I travel alone so I understand that it could be difficult
