1. Consultation fee: 100,000 won - I think that’s over the top.
2. In the case of revision zygoma surgery, it depends on the case, but the minimum is 8 million won or more.. It’s not even a full 3-part contouring surgery, but one area costs as much as a double-jaw surgery at another clinic. Even if it is revision surgery, the price is seriously excessive.
At this point, it would have to be surgery by a true god. If you’re just thinking about contouring surgery? -> I think it should be a price level where people recognize H Plastic Surgery and Dr. Baek as a must-consult course.
Especially for cases that don’t need reconstruction, the 3D printer they have at H isn’t even necessary, so why is the price so high?
3. No matter how I think about it, it’s an expensive pricing policy going against the times.. Of course, there’s the saying that if you don’t know, buy the expensive one.
As people researching surgery know, the information on H Plastic Surgery and Dr. Baek Jeong-hwan is much scarcer than for other clinics.. The hospital also opened around 2014? and the longest follow-up period for surgical patients is only about 7 years..
I understand the mechanism of maintaining high prices based on equipment and the resulting surgical differentiation, but I do wonder whether there is really that much differentiation.
I looked it up and there are only some random controversies with another clinic director..
No matter how much they talk about equipment, I think truly skilled surgeons can still do well without it. There are plenty of doctors who operate well even without equipment like what H Plastic Surgery uses..
If the equipment used at H Plastic Surgery were that important and decisive for surgical success, there would be no reason for other hospitals not to rush to secure the same equipment..
If the only thing this clinic can boast about is equipment, and that is the reason for the high prices, I would go somewhere else..
There are especially way too many posts raising issues about the quality of the in-person consultation that costs 100,000 won.. Honestly, if you’re going to charge 100,000 won for a consultation, there should at least be no controversy about the consultation itself.
The consultation was very good, and the doctor also seemed like a very good person, but the surgery fee was just too expensive. I think at minimum, this is the kind of impression people should be left with.
It feels like the director is doing this because he himself is tired and it’s a hassle, so he’s roughly filtering out clients who are only considering surgery to some extent. If someone comes to consult after paying 100,000 won, the chance of going all the way to surgery is high, and even if they don’t get surgery, the 100,000 won consultation fee still makes it profitable. And since the consultation fee is 100,000 won, prospective patients who are already unsure won’t come in the first place, which is convenient.
In particular, the fact that the surgery deposit is absolutely non-refundable regardless of how far away the surgery date is seems like it may be legally problematic.
To the eyes of most cosmetic surgery clients with soft hearts, this policy probably feels pretty cold.
So to sum up, I wouldn’t recommend it as a clinic for a first surgery or for revision surgery due to insufficient results. For patients with serious complications who need reconstruction, the cost will be high anyway and equipment is important, so I would recommend it.
