ㅇㄹ Plastic Surgery - I visited on a weekday during the late lunch hour, but as expected, there were a lot of people. I think I waited about 10 minutes? - When I made the reservation by phone, they asked if I had a specific director in mind. I said no, so they assigned me to Director ㅈㅈㅅ. - They did a simple examination with ultrasound. - No overtreatment at all: I asked about thread lifting and cheek liposuction, but they said I didn’t need them. They actually advised against them. They also advised against chin fat grafting. However, they said muscle tightening was essential.
Director: Maybe because there were many people waiting, he spoke very quickly. He was witty. The consultation was within 10 minutes. He showed me a PPT about the procedure method and cases by patient type. (Compared with ㅇㅎㅌ below, he didn’t show things in as much detail. I think it was because of time.)
Surgery discount conditions: Write review posts twice each on ㅂㅂㅌ, ㄱㄴㅇㄴ, and a designated cafe, for a total of 6 reviews. It doesn’t matter if the content is copied and pasted the same way. (If you look at reviews on each app, there are many duplicates.) Aftercare: High-frequency treatment available once a week with no limit.
What I felt: It felt like a typical busy large hospital. It could feel factory-like, but compared with other factory-style hospitals, it was less so. I strongly felt that they were trying to proceed quickly. However, I didn’t get the impression that they were being careless. The consultant was average. It felt like she was reciting memorized information according to a manual? There was no pressure. However, I felt like there was somewhat insufficient communication between the consultant and the director.
ㅇㅎㅌ Plastic Surgery - I made the reservation and had the consultation on the same day. - There weren’t many people inside the clinic. About 2-3 people? - Director consultation fee: 10,000 won - They took a CT scan, and I consulted with the director based on that. (It felt like 20-25 minutes.) - Here, they said I had a slight retruded chin tendency, so they recommended chin-tip fat grafting and side-cheek liposuction. (Looking at the clinic’s before-and-after photo booklet, it seems they often do it together with side-cheek or deep-cheek liposuction?)
Director: The director tended to consult calmly and in detail. He seemed modest but also cheerful. He also showed me a PPT, and while looking at my CT images, he explained a lot, such as before-and-after photos of people with similar types and medical information. In particular, the fact that he explained the surgical process in detail made him feel trustworthy. (Of course, since it wasn’t mosaicked, it was a bit of an eyesore;) It was impressive that he taught me stretching and posture-correction methods that can help improve things after surgery.
Surgery discount conditions: Consent to lower-face photos + write 2 reviews. Aftercare: 2 high-frequency treatments.
What I felt: Since it’s a one-doctor clinic and there weren’t many people, I felt like they were focused solely on me. It felt trustworthy that he looked at my chin angle and shape in the facial bone-structure images and professionally explained how much my chin would go in after surgery. I was really satisfied with the consultation, but I’m a bit anxious because there aren’t many reviews.
It’s been almost a week since I went, and after thinking it over, I’m considering going with ㅇㅎㅌ! There’s one more clinic I’d like to visit in person, but since I live outside Seoul, going up there is physically tiring, and because I’m working, it’s just a shame that I don’t have timeㅠ I think for clinic visits, it’s definitely right to narrow it down to a few places and then goㅠㅠ
