I had my surgery back in April but I only decided to upload it now because I wanted to see how everything settled. I found Girin Clinic through Purse Forum and Instagram and loved how they even offer me airport pick-up and hotel help, which made traveling for surgery so much easier and less stressful. We started with a WhatsApp consultation, and then we scheduled an in person consultation. I visited the hospital for consultation and checkups and although the clinic was busy, everything felt organized. The in-person consultation was detailed and reassuring. My doctors were Dr. Kim Song Heon for rhinoplasty and Dr. Park Deok Jun for liposuction, both professional and informative. I had an interpreter with me the whole time and she was very helpful. Regarding post-care: there was a small issue with my pressure garment due to my long torso, but they custom-made a new one for me and I wore it for about a month. 1month post-op. was the hardest, i thought i wasnt gonna make it . There were moments when I felt uncertain about the outcome. Taking off the stitches hurt!! bc i have a low pain tolerance. My rhinoplasty was still super swollen, appears slightly tilted to the left and it's hard as a rock/numb. However, my doctor has reassured me that this is due to the swelling and my thicker skin. Therefore, I will need to be patient and wait at least six months to a year to see the final results. My lipo def on the other hand, seems to be healing more quickly, and I can already see a noticeable improvement. Finally I don't have to wear the pressure garment 24/7 but do have it on during the day. I do experience some restrictions around my waist, but I understand that I am still in the early stages of recovery. Both doctors have confirmed that everything is healing as expected, which gives me confidence in the final outcome. At 3 months post-op, I still experienced swelling on my nose. I have noticed a tilt to the left is still there. I do feel my nostrils look a bit narrow and my tip is still super hard/numb, but it has noticeably decreased. The clinic has assured me that irregular swelling is normal and it's a longer process due to what's been done. The liposuction results are evident, and everything seems to be healing as anticipated. My lymphatic masseuse even complimented the quality of the work, noting that I do not appear bloated or have uneven skin, unlike many other patients she has treated. My only concerns on my stomach are the unusual sensations I feel in my lower back and occasionally in the lower stomach. I discussed this with the clinic's contact, who explained that these sensations are part of the healing process, indicating my body's reconnection. Therefore, I have no worries. I am eager to see what the coming months hold for me. Having reached five months post-op, I've observed a significant reduction in the size of my nose. While I appreciate the shape that is developing, I feel the bridge might be a bit too prominent. I'm hopeful it will settle further. Currently, the tip of my nose remains firm but I can finally feel it better, still leaning to the left, and I still experience limited movement, which gives me optimism that it will continue to refine over time. My primary concern revolves around my right nostril, which seems somewhat blocked. I've consulted with my clinic contact, and they attribute this to lingering swelling. Although they've offered a check-up, I'll have to wait until a year, since I live outside the country. Regarding my stomach area, I've noticed a definite reduction in size, and I suspect further changes will be minimal. My only concern is the presence of some loose skin, which I think is due to my age. I'm optimistic that consistent gym workouts will help improve this. other then that i can't wait for the following months to come. Now: My concerns are: Nose tip still leaning towards the left Nose bump still on the right side of my nostril Inner nose bump still on the right side of my septum difficulty breathing from the right nostril I am hoping these issues will subside and my nose will correct itself. Regarding my lipo, I have improved mobility and flexibility. Previously, it was uncomfortable to bend, move, or jump, and stomach sensations were restricted; these issues are now gone. What I'm currently focusing on is tightening my stomach skin, which has become loose due to the liposuction. I'm hopeful that diet and exercise will improve this.

I decided to do double eyelid surgery at Girin because I wanted a more defined and refreshed eye appearance while still looking natural. It was something I had considered for a long time, and I felt this procedure would suit my facial features and boost my confidence. I found Girin Clinic through online research and reviews while looking for a reliable clinic for double eyelid surgery. What stood out to me was the doctor’s experience and specialization, along with the clear and detailed consultation provided. The before-and-after photos gave me confidence, and communication with the staff was smooth and professional. The team was friendly, patient, and reassuring, which made me feel safe and comfortable. I also felt that the pricing was reasonable compared to other clinics offering similar procedures. After the consultation with the doctor I felt confident to proceed immediately. The doctor explained the procedure clearly, addressed my concerns patiently, and made professional recommendations based on my eye condition. This gave me peace of mind and trust in the decision. The recovery process went smoothly. In the first few days, there was some swelling and mild discomfort, which was expected. By day 3–4, the swelling gradually reduced, and by the 7th day, my eyes already looked much more natural. The clinic provided clear aftercare instructions, which helped the healing process. I did not experience any major complications. Whenever I had questions during recovery, the staff responded promptly and professionally, which made me feel well supported throughout the healing period. It's been a month since I went to Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic for my double eyelid surgery The results look very natural and suit my face well. The recovery was smoother than expected, and the follow-up care was attentive and reassuring. I’m very happy with my decision and the outcome. I would definitely recommend Girin Plastic Surgery Clinic to anyone considering double eyelid surgery and looking for a trustworthy and professional clinic. Thanks

I had been considering jaw and cheekbone reduction surgery for a long time and wanted a clinic that prioritized patient safety, clear communication, and truly understood my goals. Since this was my first time traveling abroad for plastic surgery, avoiding language barriers and feeling supported was extremely important to me. I contacted Girin and several other clinics for online consultations via WhatsApp, and Girin stood out for being responsive, friendly, and transparent. They did not upsell unnecessary procedures and only quoted what they believed I genuinely needed based on my concerns. The consultation was detailed and honest, unlike other clinics that mainly focused on pricing while critiquing my appearance. I also appreciated that Girin offers four days of accommodation for procedures over 20 million KRW, along with airport pickup and drop-off, which made the experience feel organized and safe. I researched Girin on platforms such as Reddit, UNNI, and RealSelf and was impressed by the natural-looking results from patients with similar procedures, which gave me confidence to move forward and place my deposit. Even though my surgery was scheduled months later, Girin stayed in contact and reassured me that everything was prepared for my in-person consultation and surgery date. When I arrived in Korea, the process was smooth. I was picked up from the airport and taken to the clinic. The consultation process took time due to documentation and waiting for the doctors, but I appreciated that the doctors were not rushed and were fully focused on their patients. They carefully listened to my concerns, did not push unnecessary procedures, and made thoughtful recommendations. I felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. I originally planned to undergo jaw surgery, cheekbone reduction, double eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty to soften my facial structure and better align my appearance with how I see myself. After my in-person consultation, I replaced the double eyelid surgery with a forehead lift, under-eye fat grafting, and smile line fat grafting. This felt right because the doctors’ recommendations aligned with my goals of achieving a balanced, natural-looking result rather than an overdone appearance. After meeting with the doctors and translator during the consultation, I felt comfortable and reassured moving forward. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and explain what to expect in a calm and honest way, which helped me feel at ease with my decision. Dr. Yoon Seung Gyu performed my jaw surgery, Dr. Jeon Ji In performed my rhinoplasty, forehead lift and fat grafting. The doctors were gentle, professional, and reassuring throughout the process. On the day of surgery, everything was explained clearly and at a comfortable pace. My translator was with me through each step of the process. I felt pretty calm going in. I laid down, went to sleep, and woke up. I was greeted by my translator and was helped to the recovery room. The first few hours after waking up from surgery were difficult. I felt extremely thirsty and cold, though I believe the shaking was mostly due to anxiety. I stayed overnight at the clinic with a nurse monitoring me, which was very reassuring. My translator even brought in the flower my boyfriend got for me and helped me up to see him briefly, which meant a lot to me emotionally. The nurse who cared for me overnight was attentive, regularly changing my ice packs, checking on me, and administering medication. After discharge, the swelling was intense, and I had difficulty seeing, breathing, sleeping, eating, and drinking. Pain was manageable with medication and additional Tylenol, and I had to slowly syringe water and food due to swelling. The day after discharge, my drainage tubes and nose packing were removed. Over the next few days, I experienced headaches, fever, and ongoing swelling, and sleeping was difficult as I woke up frequently throughout the night. I did not experience major complications, but recovery was challenging. When I accidentally misplaced my medication while switching hotels, Girin quickly provided replacements. On day six, I experienced severe headaches and contacted the clinic, and they responded promptly and provided medication to help manage the pain. Throughout my recovery, the Girin team remained responsive, supportive, and reassuring, and knowing I could reach out and receive help made a significant difference during a difficult recovery period. I will update this post with more photos of my recovery but as for now, this is what my nose looks like.

I had a fantastic experience with this clinic! I found them through social media and was immediately drawn to their impressive results and patient stories. After my consultation, I felt confident moving forward with 360 liposuction. The procedure was smooth and efficient, and I felt well cared for throughout. Recovery has been great, very little discomfort, and the compression garment helped a lot with swelling and shaping. By the end of the first week, I was already seeing noticeable changes. The staff were incredibly patient and thorough, explaining every step and making sure I felt informed and supported. Their professionalism and kindness made the entire process stress-free. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering body contouring. The care and results truly exceeded my expectations!

It has been 3 months and 5 days since my surgery, and I’ve already noticed a difference. My side profile is more defined, although there is still a small, firm bulge under my chin from the procedure. It’s a bit tender, but I’m hopeful it will continue to improve with time. Trusting the process, right? Seeing these changes in such a short amount of time has been encouraging. I’m incredibly grateful for what Dr. Han was able to accomplish with my chin side profile, and I’m excited to see the final results as healing continues. Here’s how the healing process has looked leading up to my three-month post-op mark: Month 1: The area under my chin was still very swollen. Month 2: The swelling went down significantly, and I began to notice a subtle difference. Month 3: My side profile is noticeably improved, though there is still some tenderness under my chin. I’ve even received compliments from close friends saying I look slimmer.

I chose to move forward with a rhinoplasty at girin after careful consideration and research. It felt like the right step for my personal goals, and I wanted to proceed in a setting where I felt informed and supported. I found the clinic through online research while looking into reputable medical providers in Korea. Seeing that the clinic had experience working with many international patients made me feel more at ease, especially in terms of communication and overall care. After the consultation, I felt comfortable proceeding because the doctor explained the procedure and expectations clearly. The overall consultation process helped me feel prepared to move forward. From the surgery through the first week of recovery, the healing process was manageable and generally aligned with what was explained beforehand. I followed the aftercare instructions provided and appreciated having guidance throughout the early recovery period. While recovery naturally came with questions and adjustments, the clinic provided overall good care and support during the healing process. When I reached out, the team worked to address my concerns and guide me through recovery.

I am one month post-op today, and my breast and tummy seem to be healing very well. I’m already able to do light workouts, move around comfortably, and handle basic house chores. There’s still a little soreness in my tummy area, but it’s very manageable. I can even lift light weights without any issues. I’m really excited to continue healing and see the final results of my breast augmentation and 360 liposuction.

I had been considering breast and tummy procedures for a long time. After having my son, I worked hard to get back into shape, but my stomach just wouldn’t flatten and my breasts had become saggy and lost volume. After doing extensive research on plastic surgery clinics in South Korea, I came across Girin Plastic Surgery. The reviews were consistently positive, so I decided to book a consultation. During my visit, the doctors were very professional. They offered their recommendations but also made sure to listen to what I wanted. I ultimately went ahead with breast augmentation and 360 liposuction. The first few days after surgery were painful, but the clinic ensured I had the right medication, which helped a lot. Anytime I had a question, the staff responded quickly and were always reassuring. By day three post-op, I was already able to move around and do small tasks at home. Now at seven days post-op, I’m still a bit sore, but overall I’m recovering well and able to stay active. The staff have been extremely supportive throughout the entire process, and I truly feel I made the right choice in selecting this clinic. My experience with Girin Plastic Surgery has been very positive, and I’m happy with the care I received.

I've always had large, sagging breasts that caused me back pain and left me feeling unhappy with my décolleté. After years of considering a breast lift, I finally decided to go for it, thanks to the positive experiences shared by a friend who had her surgery at Girin Plastic Surgery. Initially, I was quite scared about the procedure, but my friend's encouragement made a big difference. She is a regular client at Girin and has undergone several treatments, including her own breast surgery. Her high recommendation of the clinic really influenced my decision. I checked out their Instagram page and reached out via WhatsApp, where the clinic's professionalism shone through as they promptly answered all my questions. On the day of the surgery, I was warmly welcomed at the clinic and received excellent care throughout my visit. My surgeon, Dr. Jeon, was fantastic, and the staff guided me through every step, making sure I had no unanswered questions, which really put me at ease. I stayed one night at the clinic after the surgery. The doctors and nurses were incredibly kind and attentive, checking my temperature multiple times throughout the night and being there for me whenever I needed assistance. The environment was clean and secure, and I appreciated having lockers for my belongings. Now, one week post-surgery, I feel great! I was worried about experiencing significant pain, but thankfully, it has been manageable. My breasts look amazing and are beautifully lifted, exceeding my expectations! I had a few questions after the surgery, and the clinic was very responsive. Communicating via WhatsApp made it easy, especially since I live abroad. They provided clear instructions for my post-operative care, and when I asked for a report in English for my doctor back home to remove my stitches, they quickly provided it. I'm really happy with my decision to choose Girin for my breast lift and can't wait to see the final results after my full recovery!

I recently underwent a deep plane face and neck lift combined with lower blepharoplasty, endodyne forehead lift, and fat grafting at Girin Plastic Surgery in South Korea, and I would like to share my experience. I found Girin Plastic Surgery via a Reddit thread about Korean cosmetic surgery clinics. I compared prices, responses/consults and positive reviews from previous patients. Girin had positive reviews, although more for eye-related surgeries than facelifts, but they were also not overhyped by social media and influencers only, which always gives me pause. Their prices were also reasonable, although I was willing to pay more if necessary. I opted for this specific combination of procedures to achieve more permanent solutions to address sagging skin and volume loss. I was looking for more permanent results, as less invasive techniques were no longer working for me and felt like a waste of money. The deep plane facelift is renowned for its natural results, which is what I was aiming for. I am still a bit worried about my eyes b/c they still don’t look like me, but all information about my surgery says that it will take at least 3 months to start to see the symmetry correct and see a more natural result. The surgery went smoothly. The surgical team was professional, and I felt well-cared for throughout the process. The bedside manner in South Korea is a bit different from American doctors, but the team is experienced and professional. I experienced some nausea and pain on the first night, but the nurses were attentive and took care of me all night long, even when I needed more pain medication at 3:00 AM. The healing process has been more intense than I expected. On the first night at the hotel after surgery, I experienced severe pain due to a lack of clarity regarding the pain medication. It wasn't explained that it was in a separate package thoroughly before I left the clinic, which caused severe pain on the second night. The situation occurred because I was leaving the clinic at a very early hour on Sunday, which was outside the interpreter's working hours. The English-speaking interpreter was incredibly helpful in translating information and facilitating communication with the medical team on the days following where I didn’t experience any excessive pain any longer. The healing process can be scary, but the team has been responsive to any questions I have, providing reassurance and support throughout. I did notice some asymmetry around my eyes, which I was told is normal at this stage of healing. Although it's a bit concerning, the staff emphasized that these issues usually resolve as the swelling decreases. The response from the team has been exceptional. They were attentive and took my concerns seriously. I felt reassured after bringing up my worries about the asymmetry, and I appreciated their thorough answers and encouragement. Overall, I'm pleased with my decision to choose Girin Plastic Surgery. The results are promising, and I am optimistic about the final outcome as I continue to heal.
