As of right now my list completely changed, Nana is no longer in my list actually. Btw you can go to those foreigner marketed clinics, it's up to you (like Banobagi, JW, JK, and ID) but I rather go to places that local recommend. For Nana, they are primarily Breast focused, but I heard good results for nose. Good luck!
Please what is your list for the local clinics ? I just started my search, I gave up on turkey for my forehead reduction sugary and thinking about South Korea now because they do a lot of female feminization surgery and one of the surgeries for that is forehead reduction so I feel like they might know how to do it well but I did read to go to a local clinic but how are you searching for local clinics please send a list please
 
Thrilled this thread exists! I'm Asian American (Taiwanese/Chinese) based in Northern California; more specifically San Francisco Bay Area. Just joined the 2021 Korean Plastic Surgery group - my Kakao id: krystal.yu

TIMEFRAME + DURATION
  • Either late Sept returning Oct // or late Nov returning Dec 2021
  • Considering staying for ~5weeks (may change depending on surgery date(s)/recovery)
Due to the airline changing flight schedules, my originally booked flights for late Sept to Oct will now have to be rebooked. Currently, I'm deciding between rebooking for the same fall/autumn timeframe OR... to push the flights to late Nov. Would love to coordinate with any of you considering these possible timeframes!

I'll be fully vaccinated within a week or so - hopefully the required 2-week quarantine will be lifted by the fall (fingers crossed!).

OPERATIONS
  • Face Contouring
    • V-line
    • fat grafting (3D forehead)
    • eyelid revision
    • facelift (?)
  • Dimpleplasty
  • Rhino (add height)
  • Inner thigh lipo

CLINIC
  • [FC + eyelid] considering: Dr Lee @ Girin
    • (based on MissOrange's below recommendation, I find her to be a reliable trusted source)
  • [Dimpleplasty] ?
  • [Rhino] ?
  • [Inner thigh lipo] ?
I'm still in the preliminary research phase for surgeons/clinics and mainly considering the medium to small clinics. Haven't had any consultations, yet. Open to any advise on any of these procedures!




GOALS + INSPIRATION
A smaller slimmer face with more 3D profile.

Here's looking at you! ;)...

Aside from the below room, is there an existing dedicated group chat for us planning to travel this fall/winter? If not, would it be helpful to kickoff a separate kakao room just for us? Also happy to connect in the below room, too!
You can join us here.
People who are going next year are in this room

I think we should create our own group!

That existing group chat is HUGE (and the mod is quite strict about posting other group chat links)

On another note: does anyone know of any SK quarantine updates? Is there hope for going this year or will the 2wk quarantine stay in place through this year/next year?
 
Coming from Canada. I’m planning to go in August or September! Rhino + FC—aiming to get everything done at the same place. My top clinics are JT PS (formerly known as Item PS—Dr. Jin-Sung Kim), Uvom, and Migo.

Dr. Kim @JT is my top clinic for Rhino+FC, too! I'm planning going either Sept or Oct of this year.

Wanted to caution you about Uvom since they were mentioned on Korean Plastic Surgery Clinics to Avoid (w/ evidence) thread

Plus more context below re:Uvom
Uvom lied about what kind of implant they used on my nose + I PAYED for a specific doctor to do my nose job and they used a ghost doctor. Aka someone else while making me think it was their head doctor doing surgery on me so nahh Uvom's a big nono.
So shady and also HOW TF are u gna lie about what kinda implant u use?
