Honest Review of Korean Liposuction Clinic
maddieaddieSeptember 24, 2020
Hello all!
I decided to write this here because while in my search for the best place to get liposuction, I got a lot of conflicting information online. I am not endorsed to being compensated for this review so I will tell you what the experience was like for me. :)
After having children and bouncing from diet to diet, my body looked like it came out of war... a sad war from body dysmorphia, hormones, and a host of other issues. Of course, plastic surgery is a personal choice and I really wanted to get it after I got post partum depression and no amount of work outs or diets would help.
I did my research. I'm not very good at Korean and I wanted to find a clinic with an English translator as well as a reputable past with minimal to no hiccups. The latter part of my search really narrowed it down as these clinics and hospitals tend to get slapped with a lot of lawsuits. I also looked up how much the US allowed for fat removal and did not want to go over that because sometimes I feel like in the search for beauty things get a little dangerous. I wanted the more slim Asian standard of beauty figure instead of the American "glam" figure, hence why I decided on a Korean clinic.
I decided on Pretty Body Clinic in Gangnam due to many reasons. I'll try to list them out.
1) Fluent English speakers (which was a must for me)
2) 20 years + of no incidents
3) Actual results
4) Well priced
5) Very upfront and honest
I'll go more in detail. I wanted to get a full body liposuction (arms, legs, stomach), and boy, let me tell you, I got a full body lipo. It's only been a few days and I'm noticing an immediate change. The doctor worked with what I wanted and he was honest with what he could do for me. Because liposuction does not target the fat underneath the muscle and I had a lot of muscle, the doctor told me to be aware of this. The English translators also told me, with quite a lot of honesty, how much pain there would be and were with me every step of the way. I swear every time I went under anesthesia and woke up, they were there. When I went to sleep, they were the last people I talked to and saw. They were the first I would see when I woke up. It was comforting!
Everyone was so patient and understanding. With other clinics I visited and talked to, they just wanted to procedure done and rushed me out of the consultation if they got the inkling that I was probably not going to use their clinic. With PBC, I talked to them for 6 months over Kakao and they never were rude or confrontational about me just asking questions.
I honestly felt like I had to put this here because I saw the other PBC review and it looked so stilted and horrible that I had to set the record straight! :)
As for the negatives, I would have to say that no amount of them telling you how much it would hurt/what you should prepare for would actually amount to what you will experience. Of course, this is not their fault but the person wanting lipo should realize that this is quite a big decision to want to do. Please be careful out there as there are many a nutcase doctor and please be careful with your body because health is wealth !
