I was worried about skin sagging, so in June 2021 I called P Plastic Surgery in Sinnonhyeon for a consultation. A person there who said she was the head coordinator kept saying she was busy with patients, then called me close to 11 p.m. and consulted with me. At the time, I got the impression that she was kind because she even consulted by phone that late at night. So I made time and visited the clinic, and after the coordinator looked at me, she said my skin was not sagging enough to need surgery and that it could be improved to some extent with skin laser procedures, so she recommended Ulthera and Rejuran. A few days later, I trusted that coordinator and got Ulthera 300 shots, Rejuran 4 cc, and salivary gland Botox at this clinic. Because Ulthera and Rejuran are said to be very painful, I had them under sedation. I have had several procedures and surgeries under sedation before, but I have no idea what drugs they used here, because even two hours after the procedure I still could not wake up from the anesthesia, and I was so dizzy the next day. In my life, I had never had such a hard time after sedation. If the results had been good, I would not need to say this, but after the procedure my once plump face became gaunt, and I looked 5 to 6 years older. I also got 4 cc of Rejuran, but my skin looked even drier and more rough, and the salivary gland Botox made almost no difference in salivary gland size.
At the time, during the phone and in-person consultation, I never said I wanted to lose facial fat, and I repeatedly said I was considering surgery because of skin sagging, but the coordinator recommended procedures that did not suit me. Ulthera laser makes the skin contract so the skin sticks to the muscle, which only makes the face look thinner; it does not lift sagging skin, so I looked much older than before the procedure. After going through the pain of sedation and receiving three procedures, not even one was effective, so in September 2021 I visited the clinic and asked for a refund. The doctor also looked at the before-and-after photos and admitted it, but said there could be no refund and instead offered nasolabial fold filler and crow's-feet Botox as a service, then left, saying he had surgery. But I paid more than 1.2 million won after a cash discount and went through the pain of sedation for the procedures, and compared with the fact that I looked much older than before afterward, that it affected my work, and that none of the three procedures had any effect at all, it was hard to accept that as compensation. So I told the coordinator to also give me calf Botox, and she said she would check with the doctor and call me back, but there was no call after that, so I assumed it had been approved. In January 2022, when I finally had time and called the coordinator to make an appointment for more procedures, she did not answer the phone and replied to KakaoTalk only after a long time, then said that if I wanted to make a reservation I had to call the front desk directly. Before the procedure, she would consult kindly by phone day or night and even reply to KakaoTalk in real time, but after the procedure her attitude changed completely.
So I called the front desk, made a reservation, and went to the clinic. I said, “Because this clinic already ruined my face once, I’m afraid to have anything done around my face again, so I do not want nasolabial fold filler or crow's-feet Botox, and I only want calf Botox. What is the maximum number of sessions possible?” The doctor flew into a rage, said it could not be done more than once, and stormed out. I got angry too and asked the coordinator to bring the person in charge of complaints at the clinic, and she said she was the person in charge and told me to speak to her. I said, “Right now other clinics are running events for calf Botox at 30,000 to 50,000 won, and last time the doctor said he would provide three services: nasolabial fold filler, crow's-feet Botox, and calf Botox. If I am not getting the nasolabial fold filler and crow's-feet Botox, then naturally the number of calf Botox sessions should be increased, right?” She then said the doctor had never said he would provide calf Botox. Then I said, “Then you should have contacted me at the time and told me the doctor said calf Botox was not possible. Since there was no follow-up contact, I naturally thought the doctor had approved calf Botox too. Then never mind the rest, please ask the doctor how many times calf Botox is possible at most.” She said the doctor was in surgery and that she would check and call me, so I left the clinic for the time being.
A few days later, the coordinator called and said, “The doctor now says even one calf Botox treatment is not possible, and that he can no longer see you as a patient,” then kept talking only about her side of things and abruptly hung up. I spent more than 1 million won, had procedures done at this clinic, and even had my face ruined under sedation, and now they want to refuse further treatment... Have you ever seen such an irresponsible clinic? And the doctor himself, in September 2021, also looked at the before-and-after photos and admitted it, saying there would be no refund but that he would provide various services, and now he keeps changing his story, saying even one calf Botox treatment is not possible. If you go to this clinic, you absolutely have to record everything. Both the doctor and the coordinator keep changing their statements. In short, this is not a proper clinic. Doctors and coordinators are not gods, so they can make mistakes. But if they gave the patient a bad result, shouldn’t they at least try to fix it? This place is not even as good as a simple shop that sells goods. Everyone should know about a clinic like this. I spent money and had procedures because I wanted to look younger, but the result was that I looked older, and the damage was huge. I was trying to tolerate it because they said they would provide service procedures, but when the clinic acts like this, I can no longer bear it, and I am posting this in the hope that no more victims like me will appear.
