Everyone needs to stay away from this clinic. The day he did the surgery for me they didn’t check my health + blood, they didn’t have an anesthesiologist - only two nurses with him. They waked me up during the surgery and told me I needed to swallow blood from my nose. I cannot believe a surgeon would force the patient to swallow blood. This was horrible experience and shows the ethics of the doctor. When they woke me up mid-surgery I experienced worst pain then when I gave birth. After the surgery, I had to go to the hospital to have an x-ray and treatment for lung infection. I paid for blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty. After the surgery my eyes were one big and one small, keloids, and now I have three eyelids in my eyes: one from the old eyelid, one from his cut and one from the stitches he added under my eyelid. He make my nose bubble, one big and one small nostril and after the rhinoplasty he did not tie the stitches straight which caused my right nostril to shift which makes my nose look like for a monster. I paid more money for him to do osteomy but he didn’t perform the surgery. Such a nightmare experience! Please be carefully when you go to Korea for surgery. I hope everyone who reads this will stay away from this clinic. Their professional ethics are unscrupulous and they easily will hurt for money.

Updated on 16 Mar 2020: Everyone needs to stay away from this clinic. The initial consultation with the doctor, named Shim, he allows you to say everything you want and he says he will do what ever you want. However, after he has done the surgery for you the results will be opposite of what you wanted. He ruins the beauty and healthy of his patients - seem on purpose to be sure patients are scared and never come back to ask him to fix what he did wrong. He tricks patients to agree to do the surgery and take their money; then, he scares patients away by hurting them.

1.Deposit money on 21th/09 for 26th/09 surgery. At the time, they said 7 days before surgery 100% refund. My deposit money was less then 6 days. Come back on Monday 23th, wanted to discuss with this Dr. Shim other option such as rib cartilage. Their office manager wanted to charge me money for 2rd consultant. I told their translator, Russo Pirtskhaland, “ I want to cancel and get my money back” My cousin was with me and she witnessed that. Russo told me “ come back to tomorrow at 2pm, we won’t charge you to speak with the doctor” I said “what’s about the cancelation? If I speak to him and there is no other options, is it still 90% refund?” “Can you send me some pictures of people who have done the rhinoplasty with him?” She said “ We have other option like rib cartilage, I will send you some pictures, you can cancel tomorrow and get your money back” 2. they advertised they perform rib cartilage. Doctor Shim told me “ Rib cartilage is very expensive and complicate procedure, and for the nose shape you want, I suggest silicon...and I will wake you up during the surgery after I cut open your nose for irregularities....you can decide what material you want to use” he gave me two option silicon or dermis. 3. I requested to cancel, they then told me I can only get 50% back. They verbally told me 100% & 90% refund on the day I deposit. I’ve never heard 50% refund and they fought hard to keep another 50%. During this conversation, the manger rudely left the room. Leaving Russo and me in the conversation. Running back and forth 3-4 times between me and the manager. Russo told me she wanted to cry. According to what she told me, she told the office manager that I actually wanted to cancel the day before, and that she convinced me to comeback to speak to Dr.Shim. Then, the office manager and Russo came to tell me “come back tomorrow ... don’t worry about 90% or 50%... we will ask Dr.Shim” 4. Next day, the accountant guy firmly want to refund only 50%. Disregard, the fact that I wanted to cancel on the 23/09, telling me they are losing business because of the slot I reserved. I said “I came here several times, I barely see you have any customers, what are you talking about?” I suggest to move my cousin slot on 27th to 26th. They denied. I said I’ll write this experience because they are making it hard on customer. They guy said “ go ahead”, he also challenging me to take legal action. So, there you have it. I do as you wish. Negative review and also see you in court. After that the Gangnam Medical Center and Seoul Global center staffs called them about this issue. They flip the storied, denied I ever told Russo I wanted to cancel on the 21th. God know I speak the truth and any of you who involved in this matter lied to everybody. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Based on your photo, slight asymmetry is visible on your left eyelid, so you may be a good candidate for revision blepharoplasty. The surgery we can improve eyelid asymmetry and make your eyes look more beautiful and natural.
In rhinoplasty, the use of rib cartilage has relatively very low complication rate. The rib cartilage rhinoplasty has permanent result. Scarring is minimal, absorption is minimal compared to cadaver rib cartilage and is resistant to infection.
