A year ago, I paid 4 million won and had surgery at a Gore-Tex-specialized clinic near Gangnam Station. When I went to their home*page, there were flashy photos and so many inquiries that, just like most people who said they had it done there, I trusted them right away and got on the operating table. On the day of surgery, when I went in, they said there were 2-3 assistant doctors. I actually felt reassured, thinking it must be a professionally run clinic. But the osteotomy area became uneven, and with the glabella too high, the shape became unnatural. I immediately demanded a refund and made a scene, but they said it was because of swelling and told me to wait 6 months. No matter how I looked at it, almost all the swelling had gone down, and when I touched it, the shape itself was strange, but they just kept telling me to wait. I couldn’t just sit and wait, so from then on I went around like crazy looking into revision surgery. The first thing everyone said was, “Are you sure you had it done by a specialist?” So I said no. Because he is an otolaryngology specialist. But I said I knew he had a long career. The doctors said it was definitely a botched surgery, and because several areas had been touched, revision surgery would also be difficult. From then on, I became suspicious, and to meet people similar to me, I joined every in*ter*net ca*fe I could and collected information. I found out that quite a few people had been ruined by that clinic in a ridiculous way, as if a new doctor had operated on them, and that there were secretly many an*ti-fans. I couldn’t understand why they would ruin someone so badly that it couldn’t even be touched again. I kept fighting over the refund issue and received many personal insults from the manager and the doctor. Far from a refund, I didn’t even receive a single apology, and they mocked me, saying they had never seen such a stubborn person like me. He has a strong ego, so when you point out what went wrong after surgery, he doesn’t accept it, and even if the patient says what shape they want before surgery, he operates however he wants according to his own views. I know other doctors dislike him because he goes around badmouthing silicone, saying it isn’t good. Go look at that doctor’s home*page. Rather than acting as a doctor, he is someone who pays much more attention to the medical device business. And because he wants to show off photos of people whose surgeries went well, he uses patients’ photos without even asking for their consent. I saw recently that there was also a complaint post about photos on the bulletin board. For over a year, I lived like a wreck because of my nose surgery. Of course I developed social avoidance, and I’m already older, so if I can’t get a proper revision surgery, even having a social life has become difficult. I’m writing this for the public’s right to know, hoping there will never again be another victim like me.
