This is a hospital specializing in facelifts, and since their YouTube videos are posted regularly too, I made a consultation appointment and visited. I had a consultation with Director Yoon Seunggi, but it felt like I, the patient, was more proactive than the doctor ^^ Of course I know my own face better than anyone, and I know best which parts are my complexes, but when I asked about the surgical areas that could be done together with a facelift and several other questions, he didn't seem very eager and it felt rather perfunctory.. Well, doctors are people too, and repeating the same consultations over and over outside of surgery hours must be tiring.. But from the patient's point of view, this is not a small or cheap procedure, and you're visiting after thinking about it for a long time, and it's a difficult surgery, so of course you want certainty and trust from the doctor.. And when I was consulting about the area that was badly botched before and is very much a complex for me, he didn't really seem to understand T_T He said it didn't look that severe.. I guess his empathy is lacking. And he seemed unconfident. He should have just been honest and told me to look into another place for that area. Also, like many other hospitals, both the doctor and the coordinator had this mindset that only their hospital is the best.. And when I talked with the coordinator about the surgery cost, I was honestly most stunned when the estimate came out to a total of 23.1 million won for a facelift + neck lift + forehead lift + forehead reduction + fat-dissolving procedure, but they said if I posted a good review they would give a 6.6 million won discount and do it for 16.5 million won, limited to 20 people? They acted like they could slash 6.6 million won as if it were nothing.. That actually broke my trust more and made me think I should just avoid them. I was being very proactive because I said I wanted surgery on several areas, so it felt like they were treating me like a total sucker who could be charged anything.. I had already checked the real surgery prices by area, so what exactly was the math behind that 23.1 million quote?? My face isn't even that hard a case.. The fat-dissolving cost was not included in the promotional amount above. I wasn't sure what the advertised price range was, but the event ad listed facelift + neck lift at 9 million and forehead lift + reduction at 5.5 million. Of course prices differ depending on whether the head doctor performs it and whether the fat-dissolving thing is included, but even so, that original total quote of 23.1 million seems way over the top no matter how I look at it. And what was that about giving a 6.6 million won discount at their discretion while saying it was a limited event for 20 people? Also, I clearly said I had consultations scheduled at other hospitals, but they pressured me for a deposit.. saying it would be refunded if I canceled haha And they also bad-mouthed the other hospital I had booked with.. with no verified evidence or anything.. This hospital also often asks for posts with bad reviews to be deleted.. Well, they were kind during the consultation. But putting everything else aside, I strongly felt they were a hospital obsessed with money more than sincerity toward patients, so I'm passing. Well, it's case by case, so if you're going, just keep that in mind. This post will probably get deleted soon too. Also, if you're like me, please avoid saying too early that you want to do several areas.. They will treat you like a sucker

It was not like this at first, but it has increasingly become a factory-style clinic. The consultant tends to ask for ticket purchases, and the staff at the front desk are not very friendly either. What I dislike the most is that they do…
