Thank you so much for this. I also feel that many clinics are solely foreigner driven, especially after seeing “popular” clinics have very average reviews on Sungyesa. May I possibly add your kkt? My kkt: mint009

Dream is a big clinic, I went to them about 12 years ago. In 2010 they were a little smaller back then. They were very unprofessional after surgery. I did a X-ray and found they shave one side of my jawline unevenly like you can see a chunk of my bone on one side is missing! They might have put a ghost doctor on me. Im not sure how he can take a whole chunk of bone on one side out if he was a qualify professional doc? 2 jaw surgeries are big and dangerous operation, not just anyone can do it. Anyways I regretted that for the rest of my life. I ask them to reverse it and they said it’s “irreversible”. Went to id and ask to reverse. They promise to reverse and they mess up also. 15mil won at dream, 22mil won with id. Im willing to pay any amount for reversal. Anyways id left me with lip can’t close without force. So I had to figure on my own what surgeries I would now need to look normal again. They don’t help you after they fuk up. These big hospitals are like factory hospital. I’ll be in Seoul next week for 3 weeks…and also again in sept to mid oct. I hope your trip matches the dates I’ve already booked So yes absolutely we can meet up if your dates crosses with mine
Did you get the link? I am also curious to get the link for the blacklist of the clinics.
May I ask which groups you are a part of on kkt? You also can PM meYes, I have also been hearing about koko, though there is not much info on these clinics. I am contemplating between small and big clinics, both with their up and downsides. Did you not like your results with dream? I was highly considering them, but I’ve been hearing and seeing more negative reviews lately. Sungyesa has been great, thanks for linking that as well
May I ask which groups you are a part of on kkt? You can PM me if your are more comfortable with that~
Any advice for calf reduction? I am looking into muscle resection, I have already had calf lipo and it did NOT make any change as my bulkiness is due to muscle...
Hey, would you mind telling me what you did, and maybe sharing your experiences a lil bit deeper? I'm considering Dream for my rhinoplasty.
I got a primary rhino at Cocoline KoreaI’m writing a review to hopefully help others searching for a reputable clinic in Korea for a rhinoplasty. This is a review at 4 weeks PO.
The main concerns I had for my nose was a flat bridge and bulbous tip. But I was very scared of getting an unnatural result but so glad I found this clinic.
The link to their website is https://www.cocoline.co.kr/
If you chat with a consultant via the line or kakao app, they’re really helpful. They’ll also be able to assist you with signing up to their page to gain access the extensive list of before and after blog reviews from past clients.
Cocoline stands out because they only have one resident surgeon who performs all surgeries. They’ve been open for over 11 years, which is really good for Korea.
Why I chose Cocoline:
I chose cocoline because the director / surgeon specialises in no-implant rhino. This means they can alter your nose without the use of implants. The surgeon is able to offer a very natural improvement to the appearance of your nose by operating on the tip.
This is good for people who already have an adequate nose bridge height but want to fix their tip which improves overall harmony of the nose.
The surgeon can make your tip smaller and slimmer using your own septum cartilage or ear cartilage if you don’t have enough septum cartilage. They also remove excess fat in the tip to help further slim it down.
There are less than a handful surgeons in Korea who can do this type of surgery. However, the director/surgeon performs all types of surgery related to rhino on a daily basis including primary rhino and revisions.
I was convinced through the abundant BA photos and reviews from previous clients. The results were so natural.
The surgeon, Dr Kim is an ENT ✅
He also only performs nose surgeries. No other types of plastic surgery is offered at the clinic so you know they specialise in rhinoplasty. ✅
And last of all, I had a really good consult with Dr Kim Seon-gu. He was very respectful, answered all my questions with ease and very nice. The clinic was also very professional as well.
My surgery price included all medication, pumpkin juice and free light treatments to reduce swelling post op.
Surgery:
I had primary rhino, a silicone implant was used as I had a short bridge, the implant itself is an “i” shape. My own septum and ear cartilage was used construct my nose tip. Excess fat was also removed from my tip.
I did not want to get my nostril / alars altered due to personal preference. I also know that the tip and bridge construction would alter my nostril shape anyway so I didn’t need to get them cut and moved in.
Honestly the recovery process was such a breeze. I never surpassed a 2/10 pain level. I didn’t bruise much either (thanks to my careful handed surgeon).
I wish I had found this surgeon/clinic earlier because I had regretfully gotten fillers and nose threads in the past.
I had to have my filters removed at least 2 weeks prior to the surgery. My nose threads were removed in the surgery.
The only discomfort I had was the first night as I had to sleep with a gauze pack stuffing in my nose which meant I had to mouth breathe.
I had a consult with Dr Kim right before going into surgery, where I was also asked to send photos of my nose goals. The photos were then printed and posted up on the surgery wall so they Dr Kim can refer to them during surgery. This made me feel like he cared about the results I wanted.
Outcome:
These photos are just over 3 weeks PO, although I’m still swollen, I am so happy with the results so far. I look like myself but better. It doesn’t look like I’ve got a nose job at all and could definitely get away without telling anyone. Everyone has complimented me on how natural the results are.
The doctor gave me a taller bridge, slimmer tip and also evened out my nostrils.
I highly recommend cocoline and am forever thank you to Dr Kim for taking such good care for me
Tips / Caution:
Korea has a few longstanding issues that foreigners travelling to Korea for surgery should be aware of
- Ghost doctors - The surgeon you consult and contract to do your surgery may hire a different doctor and switch in the surgery room unbeknownst to you. This may cause many issues as you are not guaranteed a safe procedure and with a doctor that has unknown qualifications. A lot of surgery clinics have now installed surveillance cameras in the operating room to rule out any foul play. ID Hospital is very well known for this and still refuse to install cameras.
- Clinic changes under different names. Some clinics / surgeons are known to close after receiving bad reviews / testimonials and then reopen under a whole different brand / name completely. Ensure that the clinic you go to has been operating for at least 5 years as a safe guide.
