Hello. This is my first time writing a review like this, so I do not even know how I should write it. Since there are so few reviews, some people are curious, and because the reviews are so extremely divided, I am very cautious about writing this itself, but I would like to leave as objective a review as possible for the purpose of sharing information.
1. Treatment areas: philtrum reduction package & forehead lift & under-eye fat grafting
2. Postoperative progress: philtrum reduction package - 1.5 months post-op / forehead lift and under-eye fat grafting - about 1 month post-op
3. Preoperative concerns: flat face, long midface, unnatural aegyo-sal under-eye fullness (filler), low nasal tip, small mouth
4. Surgical direction sought - a natural face that does not look operated on or artificial 5. Reasons for choosing the clinic: 1) I trusted the director's posts and videos uploaded on the blog and YouTube / the surgery called midface reduction itself is a specialized surgery done only at this clinic 2) Since I live outside Seoul, the consultation was done through KakaoTalk and phone, and the fact that the director personally consulted me via KakaoTalk also felt trustworthy.
6. Other: - As someone in my mid-to-late 30s, becoming prettier was important, but looking younger was also a major interest. - The nose is an area where, if it goes wrong, it most obviously looks operated on, so even while having various surgeries and procedures, I had not touched my nose. In fact, other than the nasal tip being slightly droopy, I did not have major dissatisfaction with my nose. - After the nose package surgery, there was swelling, but I still felt like I was becoming prettier, so I decided to have forehead surgery too.
7. Information about the clinic 1) Facilities: The exterior or interior facilities do not feel flashy or modern like a large hospital or a newly opened hospital. It is not very large, but it feels clean and well organized.
2) The consultant and nurses: - They were very kind and seemed to have affection for the clinic. The consultant seemed to have worked there for a long time and seemed to know many surgical cases well. - Even on the day the consultant took annual leave, she kindly answered the phone and consulted me as if it were her own matter. - After surgery, if the pharmacy closes, I cannot buy medication, so they bought medication and ice for me every time. When I had surgery at another clinic, it was so late that even buying medicine was difficult, so I once asked a nurse, but I was refused. Because of that experience, the fact that they first asked whether they should buy medication and ice for me was moving.
3) Director - He seemed to be an expert in fat grafting, and seemed to have learned from a doctor famous for fat grafting in the United States. - He disliked the commonly mentioned Gangnam-style face, and also did not like fillers. - He consulted honestly and did not recommend things that were unnecessary. - He also did not recommend procedures in cases where surgery would not show an effect. - Rather than making just one area pretty, he considers overall harmony important. - He has clear opinions and convictions, says no when something is not right, and does not just unconditionally agree with the patient's opinions. - After surgery, he comes in person to check the patient's condition and reviews the surgical results. - Every time I go for postoperative treatment, he checks my progress. - Compared with other surgical experiences where I could not see the doctor after surgery even when the surgery was larger, this was also something that left a good impression.
8. Postoperative progress and satisfaction. - Until 2 weeks, every time I looked in the mirror, my emotions changed many times a day because of the swollen and bruised face, to the point that I wondered whether I had gotten the surgery for nothing. - Around one month, the major swelling seems to go down to some extent, but it still feels awkward. - Even so, I can see my face gradually changing to be more three-dimensional. - As the swelling gradually subsides, I also wonder whether it has not changed that much from my old face, but when I compare with old photos, it is definitely different and prettier. - Looking at the clinic's surgical review posts too, it seems to become natural around 3 months, so I think I need to wait more until then. But I do feel that as more time passes, it will become naturally prettier. - I am definitely satisfied with the side profile. From the front, the nasal tip swelling has not gone down enough, so it feels like a bulbous nose, but the side line has a pretty nose line and nasolabial angle. - My impression feels softer than before.
9. Overall closing - If I were to compare it to a restaurant, it is like a hidden good restaurant that only people in the know go to, especially adults. It is not a famous place because it uses a lot of seasoning, follows trends, or does a lot of promotion, but like a restaurant that truly competes with taste. - If your standard of beauty is different, you may not be satisfied. Just as people who think stimulating or heavily seasoned flavors are truly delicious may not think food from a good restaurant that does not use those things is delicious, if you pursue a glamorous and strong look even if it looks operated on, you may not like this clinic. - It may also not suit you if you want kindness from the doctor or want to hear the nice things you want to hear. But if we think about the purpose of going to a clinic, we go not to hear compliments that we are pretty but to improve our face, so I do not think this will be a big problem.
10. Lastly - Rather than saying this clinic is good or bad, I wanted to provide as objective information as possible. Of course, I am writing this because I am fairly satisfied, but I think there are also people who may not like this clinic or may not like their surgical results. My experience is not everything, but if they had no skill or were only bad, the clinic would not have operated for so long without advertising, so I felt regretful and am leaving this post. I hope my personal experience and information sharing help those who are curious about this clinic. The choice is up to each individual~!
