I'm so happy to have found this thread! I'm Korean-American and am getting eyelid surgery in Seoul in October. I've never been to Korea before, but been saving for years, and I'm really nervous.

The subway seems really good. Should I try to get car service from my hotel to clinic, or is traffic bad and subway is faster?

Does anyone have any recommendations for where/who to get eyelid (pstosis) surgery?

Or, does anyone have any warnings for where/who to stay away from?

Here's the clinics I'm considering, I'd love any suggestions or opinions or advice:

  • Wonjin
  • Pitangui
  • Banobagi
  • JW
  • TL
  • Samsung Line
Also - the online consultations (via emailed photos) I've been getting have been mixed. Some say I need incision, some say I need non-incision. Does anybody have any experience with the non-incision methods for eyelid surgery?? The clinics say it is "rare" that they become "undone" but I don't know what rare means. I've saved SO long for this trip, that I don't want to end up with something that will fall out later. But, I also don't want to push for incision and have my eyes cut up if it's not necessary.


I would advise you not to go Banobagi. I got my eyes ruined by Dr.Lee... And I know many people who also had their eyelid surgeries and nose job badly done by him too.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to post here to let you all know that I am going to Korea in the last week of September to get calf muscle reduction surgery! I am super excited and all! I've already book my flight ticket and hotel and surgery! I am a fairly skinny girl and short. 5'2 and 100 lbs but my calves are very muscular that I just look weird! I will post pictures of my calves before and after :)

So excited xD
 
Oh hi there.
I also booked my flight and hotel last week of September but mostly clinics will be closed for Korean thanksgiving.
Did you book with your clinic yet?
I went to consult with Dr park n 365mc for calf reduction but they said I cant do it.
I had botox injected at view instead and now have sharp pain from time to time.
Keep us posted with pics if you can ;)
I know many girls in my group who dream to have this procedure done.
Good luck
 
Yes I have already booked my clinic! I am going to Oz Clinic with Dr Park! I actually flew to Korea in May to have a consultation in person and he suggests he can remove up to about 1-2cm from my calves. My left calf is actually thicker than my right calf so he will remove a little more from my left than my right.

What do you mean by 365mc?
 
Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum and have a few question.

I am planning to go to SK for double eye lid surgery and Bariatric Surgery and got a few question.

Have anyone heard of Seoul Sky Hospital / Seoul Surgery hospital? This is one of the 2 place that I can find for Bariatric Surgery, the other being 365mc but they only have lap band. I am a bit worry since they seem to have multiple names. Anyone know other location?

I will like to have some advice on which surgery I should have first. I plan to stay around 2-3 weeks and all the response said there will be no issues in having both surgery, but each side said it's "better" to have their particular surgery done first.

On one hand, Bariatric Surgery is a major surgery compare to the double eyelid surgery and have more risk for complication. But on the other hand, i just need the Bariatric Surgery to not screw up, whereas any difference in the double eyelid surgery will be literally quite noticeable.

IMHO TPF is usually a constant stream of current beauty seekers who are still searching for treatment. People who have completed treatment usually move on from the forum, with the exception of some users.

You might want to follow up directly with past users who were discussing bariatric surgery. From a quick search I noticed theTrollTrain was discussing treatment last year.

Sorry if this was some what late, but do not go to Pitangui!!!
The main doctor there is not suitable to be a doctor (just because he may have met Hillary *******, does not make him a responsible doctor). Not only did he ruined my eyes, I have to travel back to Korea again to fix my eyes back to my original eyes in another clinic.


This Pitangui Doctor will dismiss you entirely if there is a problem. And so many people had their eyes ruined by this irresponsible doctor!!!
