An Australian's Plastic Surgery Journey with Braun Plastic Surgery - South Korea

I am from Perth, Western Australia, 58 years old and currently staying in Gangnam, Seoul ready for my surgery with Braun Plastic Surgery. I will be having a Facelift, Necklift, Browlift and Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty. I decided to come on here to share my experience with you in regard to the ease of booking the surgery and you can follow along on my journey.

I initially researched plastic surgery the world over and, through my research, found that South Korea was a mecca for plastic surgery. I then broke it down to a number of plastic surgeries and Braun won me over with their exceptional skills of achieving a natural, refreshed look. They ticked all the boxes for me!

Furthermore, I also appreciated the time and effort they have put into their social media accounts, whereby they not only educated you on the procedures, but also provide follows up from some of their clients. Check them out on TickTock, Instagram, Facebook and You Tube - definitely worth following.

I initially connected with them via WhatsApp back in January 2024 and sent them pictures to review. They then came back with indicated costs for the procedures that they considered necessary for the outcome that I was looking for.

They answered all the questions that I had in regard to the surgery, etc. Even suggesting accommodation for me to look at.

The time finally came and I flew in to South Korea this week, I had the pleasure of meeting all the staff and surgeons assigned to me. The facility is very impressive and the manner in which everybody conducts themselves is extremely professional. I met with both surgeons (with an interpreter present) and they talked me through all the procedures and what I was to expect. I also had quite a few questions which were clearly answered for me.

I am so excited to have my surgery shortly and finally get my neck (amongst other things) sorted out! It is something that has bothered me for a very long time!

So all up, this journey to achieve my dream has been a very smooth experience dealing with this surgery. I highly recommend you consider them if you too would like to be a better version of yourself :)

I will be back with before and after pictures once I have had the surgery and been through the recovery period.

I will update you how it all goes, but please feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them for you.

Back again to update you on my surgery journey with Braun ?

The surgery with Braun went exceptionally well and when I woke up after surgery, I actually felt really good. When I have had operations in Australia, I have woken up feeling quite sick and suffer bad nausea, but I had none of that. I was also very impressed with the fact that whilst under anesthesia, they prick your arm and test the medication that they will prescribe you to take after the operation, to make sure that you do not have an allergic reaction to it. They certainly don’t offer that sort of service in Australia.

Braun provided me with detailed instructions on post operative care together with medication that I would need to take for 5 days. They also had an emergency hotline number if needed. Everything was so well explained that I had no issues and just referred to my notes if I was unsure.

I can honestly say that it was not painful. My eyes annoyed me more than anything, as it is quite common after upper and lower bleph to experience blurred vision, partly from having surgery together with having to apply ointment 3 times per day.

Whilst in Seoul, I visited the clinic for my follow-up treatments. I would meet with the nurse who would then change my dressings, clean the incision sites and also remove the sutures. During this time my surgeons, Dr Lee (for face/neck lift) and Dr Wu (for eyes and forehead lift), would also come in and check how everything was progressing. This enabled me to speak directly with them and address any questions etc. that I had.

I also had treatments at Braun to assist with deswelling and healing. My treatments consisted of
the hypobaric oxygen chamber for deswelling and healing x 2, red light therapy and led light therapy, facial treatments and I also had my hair washed twice.

I flew back to Australia 2 weeks after my surgery and my healing journey continued.

That saying of "trust the process", in other words, you need to be patient and wait for things to settle down after surgery is so true!

I am now at the 12 week mark and the difference as time progresses is amazing. The swelling around my cheek bones has settled down. The tightness in my face has subsided giving me a more natural, refreshed look. I also had quite a lot of work done on my eyes, ie lower and upper bleph, pinched corners of my eyes to stop the lower eyelid droopiness and also fat transfer to my eye lid area. Dr Wu advised me that, because of the procedures done on my eyes, it will take a lot longer for my eyes to settle down before I would then look at them favourably (approximately 2 to 3 months). Now when I look at my photo's and see the progress of healing, it is amazing and he was so right.

Hand on my heart, Dr Wu and Dr Lee did such wonderful work on my face, neck, forehead and eyes, and I am honestly so happy with the results. My incision sites are barely visible due to their amazing skills.

I am so glad that I chose Braun Plastic Surgery to carry out my facelift and necklift. I trusted them 100% and they did not disappoint me with the outcome that was achieved. The follow up care when I was in Korea was so good and even when I got back to Australia, liaising with them over Whats App hasn't been an issue at all. If I have any queries, they are so quick to answer me and provide me with advice.

So, I am going to let the photo's talk for themselves now.

Just look at my results...SO HAPPY!!!!
