Also wanted to share our 1st Korean plastic surgery experience with you.
As we did not find this forum yet, so we haven’t read any reviews unfortunately
. We found some information on BK that seemed really professional from the photo’s on their site, with a really nice building.
After contacting the via mail and asking a bunch of questions, they seemed liked a good choice to go to. Especially if you look at their facility, a whole building….it had to be good right…
So not knowing much we asked to make an appointment with the doctor to schedule a rhinoplasty surgery with the doctor because we thought this was needed, BIG mistake. Because we had to pay a 10% deposit in advance. Now I can tell you never do this.
Anyway so we went ahead and scheduled the appointment and went there. OMG not a good thing. I read now from the reviews from others here and other forums that you really get the feeling that you are in a factory and it is!!
We went to the building, which was indeed nice. But we saw our translator, who pretty much know very little and every time it was you should ask the doctor. Don’t get me wrong she was nice, but that’s not enough for the price, right.
So we finally went to the doctor’s office for a consult. And it was literally a 10 maybe a 15 min consult. He looked at the nose for 2 min and we showed photos and response was cannot be done. Any concerns we had was not to worry. And then he suggested to also have a V-Line surgery as this would really be helpful. We thought well he is the expert, so we went along to do it. Had to go to back wit the translator to discuss the price and man for the V-Line it was steep. I am sure it was because we already deposited 10% and we were newbs.
Never pay in advance!
So went back to our hotel and got back at surgery day. Took a whole day and when it was done it was already evening and literally was pushed into a small room with 2 beds. Seriously very little after care. Felt like they were done and the rest it up to you.
We did have to go back a few times for what you cannot even call a consult as every worry or concern we had was countered with not to worry. Is normal. Man what kind of consult is that, he literally didn’t have any time for us.
And the result...the rhinoplasty was indeed a higher nose, but the nose tip was bulbous and definitely not what we asked for. The V-line surgery hurt like hell and after it has healed over months we are still even doubting whether it was even done completely of he just shave off a little and was done with it.
Man were we foolish as we did not know how to do research in advance, as I am sure we would have never went to BK at all!! I read somewhere an advice someone gave, if the doctor who is operating on you doesn’t have time for you before surgery, you can be quite certain that he will not have time for you during and after surgery.
So in short, if you want a factory like treatment go to BK, if not we suggest you go somewhere else.
