Hi there, I had this done with Dr Kim along with rhinoplasty. Overall, I like it a lot. I'm in my 40s and I do look a lot younger. Is that what you're trying to achieve?

Yeah I'm entering my 30s next year, I was debating between a facelift for my lower face sagging and possibly forehead grafting. Did you get fat grafting done for your whole face? I worry also about the survival rate and other issues. ;\

Hey @hanaaaa you're having surgery soon right? Did Dr. Kim say its ok to get your nose done a few days after facelift?
Because I asked him too if I can get a mini facelift because im considering it with v.lif and then nose after a week.
he said theres a chance that there might be some swelling and itll make it hard for him to determine the height for my nose

Hi, can I ask where were you trying to get fat grafting done? Because I was considering fat grafting with 1st button along with my rhino but Im a bit nervous to do it. I trust Dr. Kim for nose but not sure how frequently he does fat grafting

I was going to my nasolabial folds but they told me it won’t give me the expected result so I decided not to

Thank you so much for sharing, can’t wait to hear about how your surgery goes!! I was -this- close to considering iLac for nose but I think I want something more natural that fits my face. The more I looked at iLacs before/after pics and reviews I realized that the overall style is just too pointy and dolly for me.

What really sealed the deal was that I showed him some pictures from ILac that I liked ( it was one of their more natural photos) and Dr. Kim straight up said it’s not his style, he could do it but if my skins nose or the cartilage is not strong enough, I risk having a deformed nose in the future. Considering I have a shorter nose / bulbous nose, I really appreciate him being honest and what he likes doing and what he thinks is realistic.


And I also got quoted $5.5k USD! I’m planning on putting a deposit real soon for September!

Talk to Dr Kim. He's quite ethical. If he doesn't think you need it, he will tell you. Yes, I had full face. Just be aware that he does "Korean style" fat grafting. It is a very particular neotonus look with a high, round forehead. I look a lot younger, but I definitely wouldn't have done this (or anything) in my late 20s. That said, everyone has their own issues. Personally, my retention has been very good and I don't have dreaded chipmunk cheeks or any weird spots.

Hi! I wanted to ask, I've booked for the brow lift at v lif and am trying to combine seeing Wink for a blepharoplasty but they're adamant that there has to be a month between surgeries. Did you get this at all in trying to combine these?

Please listen to your doctors if they tell you to wait. I had chin lipo about a week after rhinoplasty. I was told to wait at least a week. And my rhinoplasty surgeon insisted on checking to see if I had any bleeding issues in the nose after chin lipo. I did not.

Absolutely intending to! I just was trying to see if I could combine them close together as ideally wink seems more specialised in eyes but v lif offered the two procedures combined. Hope the chin lipo is good tho - was life changing for me!

I’d like to know too. I thought you just had to wait a week.

It totally makes sense that you can't do eyes AFTER a facelift, but what about doing eyes before? I'd think 2 weeks should be ok?

Agreed. I was told I needed to wait three months btwn Rhinoplasty, Lift, and Contouring. I am surprised by some of these quick turnarounds.
