I've heard a lot of good things about DARPS. Especially regarding their facial contouring as you've said. But their rhinoplasty reviews aren't so good. I'm probably gonna do v-line at DARPS and eyes and nose at MVP :biggrin:

Hey Jojoyes, I was actually thinking about doing rhinoplasty at DARPS >_< What have you heard about their rhinoplasty?

Does anyone have experience with Namu? I know Helen (Sonya) just posted her rhinoplasty - but I'm hoping for more info from people who have gotten surgeries there!

If you have a link to their SoYoung that'd be amazing too, or any online reviews from Babitalk to Realself... I can't find any D:

Hello everyone, im new here and i made an acc. because i need help, tips and tricks.. Im going to Korea Summer 2019 for holiday. I have already booked consultation at BANOBAGI through DFK, just to check it out. I really want to do my jaw and nose, i have thought about it for a long time. They told me to pay a deposit to secure dates and doctor which i choose to not do (because some users said is unnecessary??) I wanted to meet the doctor and go to the clinic personally before deciding further.. (ITS MY FIRST TIME IN KOREA :))) )

1. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with BANOBAGI x DFK, nosejobs or jaw at banobagi? and if you could tell me a little bit about your experience (after surgery too/ recovery/ numbness?).

2. Is DFK helpfull? or is it better to go to the clinic yourself and take it from there?

3. Prices? what is the average or normal? im scared i have to pay much more than usuall. Payment methods? they dont take debit? why?

4. is it something i should be careful about or watch out for?

Thanks in advance <3

I'm in Korea right now. I did not go through DFK, as I found the prices they quoted me to be a LOT more expensive than the quotes I got through actual clinics.

My clinic coordinator has been AMAZING. She arranged airport pick up, waited with me during surgery, came in on her day off to check in on me (because I ended up staying overnight at the clinic), and is taking me to exchange money Tuesday and buy more food. This kind of personalized service happens at most smaller clinics.

For pricing, it really depends on how severe your case is and what clinic you go to. Send your photos to multiple clinics through email or Kakao and get quotes back for an estimate of what you should be looking at and you can negotiate from there.

I paid with a debit card, but I wish I hadn't. I had no debit fee for overseas charges but it was SUCH a hassle because they split the purchase into 2 and Citibank kept flagging my card for fraud. Should've just brought cash and declared it!

Research this forum for reviews on Banobagi and DFK before you put a deposit down. Banobagi is kind of known for being a very large "factory" clinic. They were originally the clinic I wanted after I watched jennydear's YouTube video on them, but those big YouTuber's plastic surgery videos are sponsored, fyi.

Thanks for the answer :)

I know the youtube videos are sponsored, but im scared to visit small or less famous clinics because i dont know how to do this. Im doing this alone.
Which clinic did you choose, and why did you change your mind about Banobagi ? :))

Is it safe to go without a example docfinder, because they provide translator .. and pick up/ send off.. and that kind of small things.?

I just posted my experience! Check it out.

Have you talked to any clinic besides Banobagi/DFK? If you commit to a clinic before going to Korea, most will do airport pick up. My clinic even picked me up and dropped me up from follow up appointments. Every clinic - except "locals only" clinics - will have a translator. Basically, every clinic you see posted on PF will have an English translator.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had information on JK Plastic Surgery. I've been looking at their website and instagram pages and I'm pretty impressed with their work and the services they provide during your stay. I can't seem to find reviews of them on PF, so I'm thinking they might be more popular with the locals rather than with foreign patients (even though some of their advertising lends itself to foreigners). Anyhow... I really like how this young lady's revision rhinoplasty turned out...

Hello everyone :smile: I am from the states and will be going to Seoul late March. I am looking for the best and safest out there who specialize in Calf Reduction/Resection, Breast Augmentation (tear drop implant), and Lip Fillers. I have done my research but I would like to hear what you guys think. Please let me know your recommendations for any clinics or doctors. I'd really appreciate it :heart:

I'm trying to find more info on JK Plastic Surgery also. Has anyone gotten a procedure done there? They seem to make the top 5 list on some review boards but not many reviews by patients.

I wonder if they have bad reputation, I know some clinics do.

The only information I have found so far on JK is their YouTube channel and Misooda... I think one of their consultants did a video for YouTube and left a review with pics on Misooda, and you can see her in some JK footage for their advertising... Other than that, the only other things that are being said is that JK is pretty safe.

I don look ugly..just close up.. u will see lots of skin hanging above incision and it folds in deep into skin that does not look natural. People can tell easily it is fake. Make up makes it more obvious.

I think all these experience surgeons know there is no point in having revision due to scar tissues. It will just fold deeply still.

I will probably wait longer.
tks.
