I did my DES at ID (I posted briefly on the double eyelid thread, you might want to read it) and I got non-incisional ptosis, lateral canthoplasty as well as lateral hotz on only one eye. My right eye is healing way better than my left which is strange because its the one I got both the cantho+hotz... I went to a different clinic for breast fat graft only because they specialize in fat harvesting and JUST IN CASE I asked the doctor at this other clinic if my eyes were normal and he said that it's all part of the healing process! (Though he too was like.. so you got lateral hotz on your left eye right? NOOOOO)

To sum it up, I can't say "ID is amazing go there!!" but I would say I had a pretty good experience. Everyone is super nice but the consultation will feel extremely rushed.
The doctor didn't ask my if I wanted parallel or tapered crease or anything like that and I must've been out of my mind to trust him to do whatever he wanted but anyway, my eyes look pretty (IMO) except they're extremely bloodshot!! If you have any questions feel free to ask me but I'm new on here so I can't receive PMs.

Just my two cents.... I think it's worth walking around apgujeong like the side streets and going into clinics that aren't mentioned on here... you'd be surprised at what you can find and I know it's taking a risk but there are hundreds and hundreds of clinics popular amongst the locals and we are only aware of... let's say... one hundred. The place I got my breast fat graft isn't mentioned even once on purse forum I think. Well, at least the search didn't bring up any results. At the same time, I wouldn't get my eyes done at this place because both the times I was there, not one patient was getting their eyes done and they didn't seem to have much experience in it~

Happy hunting!

Hi Jenebil, what is lateral hotz? I probably sound like a noob big time for asking that. I'm not too familiar with all the terms... just the basics that most are familiar with. I've thought about ID too at one point but I may go with a different clinic. If you don't mind sharing your post pictures as well, that would be great! I'm going to S. Korea this July.

I think after just a couple more posts I'd be allowed to PM you my after photos?

Also, no worries I only found out about lateral hotz 1 week before I got my DES done. Basically lateral canthoplasty just makes a cut on the outer corner but lateral hotz brings that corner of the eye down (or I guess you can pull it up if you really wanted to?). One of my eyes were reallyyyy slanted so lateral canthoplasty alone wouldn't resolve the slant! They call both procedures together "dual canthoplasty"

jenebil, can you share your Breast FG experience as well? If not here, on the BFG thread please??

I've tried to pm you but I couldn't, not sure why.



thanks!

Is the BFG thread called fat graft- breast augmentation in the regular (non-asian) plastic surgery forums? For some reason that's the only one I can find.

Sorry I didn't make all my posts yet to be allowed PMs but soon!

7chanel7, I did saw that after posting. Thanks!

jenebil, yes that's the one, the thread for FG- Breast Augmentation, I hope you can share your experience on this procedure too. It's one of the things I wanted to get done and thus, still in the process of researching. Will appreciate your insight :smile1:

Hi all,

Thank you so much for these helpful posts. I'm leaving for Korea in a few days. I have appointments with the following for revision facial contouring:

1) Face Line
2) Face Dental
3) TL Plastic Surgery Clinic
4) Girin
5) Everm (will try to do a walk in after reading Makeover's review)

I'm still undecided about Jewelry, The Line, or View Clinic. Since this is revision surgery, I really need a revision specialist in case of possible nerve damage.

I've been in touch with Wonjin but I'm really scared after reading the reviews about someone dying there.

Do any of you have experience with the clinics I mentioned? I'm leaning toward Face Line but I don't see any reviews on them. Any details or nuances with costs, bargaining, after care, etc. would be so helpful as I am going alone this time due to my husband's busy schedule.

ID also offered to do a revision for free "if needed after a face to face meeting with Dr. Park" but my husband said he doesn't have faith in them anymore and to go to any place I want no matter what the cost. I'm still meeting with Dr. Park anyways to see what he thinks.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I just did PS in Korea Girin last few weeks ago. Just sharing my experience…

I did V-line and Fat Grafting while my friend did Chin Implant and Paranasal Implant.

Before going to Kore:
At first I was communicating with Jefferson (their english translator), she is very friendly and helpful and her response quite fast. After I went there for consultation, we changed to Piao, due to my friend can understand mandarin better. She is very helpful and always attending to us even after we come back from Korea :)

Consultation Day:
When we went there, we saw 2 receptionists (they are very pretty) and the whole clinic looks good. We told them that we were looking for Jefferson. She served us professionally and caring on the steps of filling up the forms and taking the CT scan, taking photo etc.
After all these, we was asked to go into one of the consultation room to discuss on our procedures & cost. Mrs Piao (their 市长) was the one who discussed with us. In the middle of conversation, she realised that my friend could not understand english well so she suggested to change Jefferson to Piao (both of their surname are Piao).
Before I came, I had asked thousand of questions on face contour such as which surgery is suitable for me, the cost, the duration… Jefferson suggested a few options as my face is needs to do more than one PS in order to become what I want, therefore the discussion took about 2hrs.
Due to Dr Lee was still in the middle of a surgery, Mrs Piao served us while waiting. I guess she is the only one who handles the consulting and cost of the surgery. You may negotiate on the cost if you do a few surgery at once.
Mrs Piao advised me to do V-line and zygoma reduction as my cheek bone is quite big and I have protruding chin. PS: you no need to fully follow all their advise, as your own wish.
I find that my cheek bone are ok, my main concern is protruding chin, laughing lines and some sinking parts. As for my friend, hers is quite straightforward, just chin implant. Mrs Piao advised her to do paranasal implant as her mouth is a bit protruding which makes her mouth looks big.
After the discussion of our surgery and costs, Dr Lee came and gave the same advised as Mrs Piao, but he added my friend may wan to consider to do fat graft on her cheek to have a 3D face.
After all, we were very happy and convinced of the discussion and decided not to go on to other clinic. BTW, I have booked View and Dream as well.
To cut the story short… After the surgery, we were informed to stay at the clinic for a night for monitoring. The nurses are very helpful, kept visiting my room to check on my ice bag, bringing me to toilet, check my condition, etc…
Overall, my friend and I were very pleased and satisfied on the result and their service. Hopefully my sharing may help you all =)

Hi Copenhagen,

Thank you. Yes I'm excited to visit Seoul again because it's a beautiful place and I luv shopping there.

I've been spending nights chatting with the consultants. I found out how to use Kakao by the way..lol. I feel like such an old lady not knowing about Kakao but after using my phone to call them and waiting forever on responses to my emails I finally just downloaded it haha.

September's not that far away. I got impatient and just decided to go. Good luck to you!
