Hi,

I am based in the UK and seeing as everything is extremely expensive here, I am looking to have a facelift, a blepharoplasty and a breast lift (without implants) in Europe or South Korea.

More specifically, in Europe I am looking at Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, but I'm open to suggestions from other countries as well — I've heard Turkey is a popular option, for example.

In South Korea in particular I have been considering V.lif for facelift and possibly blepharoplasty and Evita Clinic for the breast lift.

Evita seems cheaper than most other options I found, but I can't find a lot of reviews even though those I did find seem good. Does anyone have personal experience with it, particularly for breast lift/breast surgery? It seems that in other Korean clinics I’ve found a breast lift costs around the same as in the UK, so if that’s the case I could just as well look for something here.

Could anyone please recommend some specific surgeons or clinics (as opposed to simply countries) for these surgeries? I'm not looking to have everything done at the same time with the same surgeon or even in the same country (in fact, I would prefer to find a doctor that only does facelifts, for example, etc.), so if you know and can recommend a doctor who specialises in at least one of these, that would be great.

Many thanks!

hi there, for your procedures, you should look into jwbeauty.net. they have a very experienced anti-aging doc (dr. Kang) and from what I know the breast aug doc (dr. Seul) is very experienced too. I had anti-aging (FL and bleph) with dr. Kang and I would go to this clinic, for sure some day when need to change out my implants (had that done in the US) to do any breast work. this is my go-to place in Korea, I am going there again after 4 years and worked my schedule around their busy schedule to make it fit ( although other pretty reputable places had availability too). btw, their nose doc, dr. Suh- was my last and final rhinoplasty; so he is good too (I am thankful to never think about nose again. he is very talented, where others were just mediocre.)! I have been happy with my results and the experience from their team (very proficient English speaking coordinators/tons of experience with foreigners) and facility was top notch/very professional ( I can tell just from some small things that they do not cut corners)! I am going back soon for FL revision (same doc) and forehead lift (the FL could wait for sure (and the clinic did honestly suggest other interim options ("how about fat grafting?", but I want to get this done and just "restart" the clock). I think the FL revision need is due to having major dental surgeries AFTER the first FL, probably just time passing by (natural aging), as well as the surgery probably not being aggressive enough to begin with (some kind of mini-smas, so probably not a full FL). Also, I am fit/slender/not a lot of extra fat on me and my face. I'm just guessing. I'm ok with these things, of course I wish the FL results would have lasted "7-10 years", for sure will vary and differ due to time, technique, patient ). good luck, I think this is a great option to have. ~

Thank you so much for such a thorough answer! I will definitely consider them, and good luck with you surgeries as well!

Hey there! It's great that you're considering options for your surgeries. surgery abroad can be a smart way to save some bucks without compromising on quality.

I've heard some positive experiences from others on Reddit who went to Lithuania and Poland for various procedures. The cost difference is quite significant compared to the UK. But, as always, do thorough research and check for reviews.

I had FL with Vlif and it collapsed within 6 weeks, my neck looks worse than before.
I paid about 13Mio SKW while other clinics only charged 8Mio(some of the best).

Look into JK Korea, they have a doctor specialised in FL and he did some good transformations.
Vlif under correct - many doctors under correct and you have to get revision after 6 months. There is this massive trend of under corrected FLifts now after they all got scared of the overdone look.
It’s just as bad in my opinion bc plenty of rip-offs are happening, doctors still have no clue what they’re doing.

You could consult with Cindy Jackson, she knows many doctors within all budget around the world.
All the best

Have already consulted with anyone in the UK i think you have to also factor in costs like flights, and hotels, and extra incidentals and inconveniences because it seems like lifts are getting almost on par with the west in terms of costs. A lot of UK people also seem to be going to Turkey as well.

hi,im from italy and i heard good feedbacks about dr caner kacmaz clinic in instanbul for breast argumentation.i also just returned from korea for an operation(i had fat graft,and i will have a thread lift with the same surgeon the next time)and i can say,based on my experience,that in korea they are really good for ps,but it's difficult to find the right clinic as there are many ghost docs and language barriers,further,come clinics ask an huge amount of money if you are not korean.

Hi..i just had my breaslift (without implants) a few weeks ago. I had it in Ilac clinic, Korea. It was my second visit there. I had other procedure around 6 months ago( got my eyebag fixed, browlift, double eyelid, thread lift). Dr Ko was the doctor that did all these procedures. So far everything looks good, and i didn't feel any pain at all for this breastlift procedure. I am still on recovery process, but for now the result is really good. My boobs look nice and tidy.

Hi,
I’m looking for doctors in Korea and I heard that some “experience threads” are just subtle adverts for plastic surgery clinics.

Can you PM me names please?
