“Love my Nearly Perfect Nose - Seoul, South Korea”

Worth It

Posted 2 Feb 2012
I always had a flat nose bridge so got a nose job in Korea but the first PS shaved down my bridge prior to inserting silicone on it. He said it was to hold the silicone insert better. It didn't look unnatural but it didn't help make it look better.
Second surgery Dr. Kim tried to repair what the first PS did but it still didn't fix the problem. Went back to Dr. Kim and he worked very diligently in correcting the problem this time. He stitched internally the tip of my nose (it was kind of drooping down the tip, a little parrot-like), so that it would hold the tip of the nose, which also had the cartilage from the back of the ear implanted in the tip, to the top of inbetween my eyes.
I don't know if I explained that correctly. The tip looks so nice and my nose is not that ultra fake looking too high bridged stick straight nose you see in all of the Korean dramas. Very satisfied with Dr. Kim. A lot of celebrities go to him, he's one of the best for noses.

My rating:
Dr. Kim is very highly educated, has perfect bedside manners, is gentle, takes his time in answering your questions, and is extremely professional without being cold. His clients are Korean celebrities, so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm so torn....are there any affordable hotels near the hospital? thank you for posting. I've been searching for a good doc but here in U.S., it's soooo expensive.
and did you travel to Korea? if so, how long did you stay for and what was the total cost? How long was the recovery time? I'm looking to do my nose in Korea too and any info would be great. Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to get my nose changed for a long time, I finally have the chance to do it, so I’ve been doing my home work. Well, come to find out, apparently Asian noses are the hardest to do and if not done correctly it can create a mass of serious problems. I was going to choose an Asian doctor thinking that they would know more about Asian noses but to my surprise that is not true. It seems like the most common material used for Asian rhinoplasty are either silicone or gortex. These plastic materials, I’ve be told by non Asian doctors, are not good for long term, it can cause an infection, rotation, erosion, or all the above. It seems like Caucasian doctors know more about this problem because they’ve fixed other doctors mistakes by using the patients own cartilage taken from either their rib or ear. Although, this may not happen for some people, I rather not take that chance by putting plastic in my nose to create a bridge but instead by using my own tissue, in the long run it would be a safer choice for me.
I hope I didn’t scare you and wish you the best with your new beautiful nose. Dr. Kim did a great job in fixing your nose but I sincerely hope you won’t run into any complications in the future!!!
