Great Experience with Seoul Plastic Surgery

WORTH IT
I did my surgeries at Regen hospital in January this year and just wanted to share my 3 months experience. So far, swelling is still here and my lower jaw is a little numb but as far as I know, it’s totally normal and recovery may take up to 1 year. Hope it won’t take that long for me and I’ll get better soon.
About Regen I found out from several forums and from some of my Korean friends. I’m a sophomore in SNU and I do know Korean but just a little bit, not even enough for a daily conversation lol. So, when I decided to contact the hospital I asked for an English-speaking stuff. I can’t say that my consultant’s English was perfect, yet good enough to understand all details. Hopefully the surgeon with whom I got my consultation spoke English very fluently and I didn’t actually need assistant’s help. To make a decision took me few days and few days after my consultation I contacted Regen again and set up my surgery. They asked to come for medical checkup a day before, the same day, I made a deposit, filled out all papers and received instructions on how to prepare for the surgery.
My surgery was supposed to begin by 11am but due to some delays in doctor’s schedule, it started 2 hrs later huh. By the moment someone was waking me up everything was finished. A voice kept asking me to open my eyes which was really difficult to do. I don’t really know how long did it take me, I only remember that someone also helped me to get to my recovery room and I felt really cold, so they turned on the heater. I can barely remember what was told that time and it took me some time to fully wake up from anesthesia. Few hours later the assistant came back and explain again dos and donts. She also mentioned ice pack and that I should change them myself once they get warm.
Hospitalization was 1 night and it was the hardest. I was very hungry and thirsty, but swallowing was really difficult. My nose was also blocked and swollen so breathing was a problem. I had terrible head ache and throat was sore. The next morning dr Oh visited me and said that everything went smoothly, gave a prescription and said that I can leave. The surgery was on wed, so I left hospital on thu and came back for dressing and few other procedures next mon.
The first few days at home were very difficult. I wanted to stay in bed most of the time, but was told to move and walk as often as can. I was supposed to stay in Seoul for another few weeks but due to some family issue had to go home a week after my operation so all stitches I removed at there, nothing unusual.
Opening my mouth is still a little difficult but I try to massage my jaws and exercise them every day. Swelling was brutal only first few weeks and by around month 1 I looked less or more normal. I do contact regen even now as really afraid of the numbness but they keep telling me that everything gets better in few months and that I’d fait a bit more and be a bit more patient, so still waiting.
As for the result, I know it’s not finalized, yet I think it looks quite good even though I’m still swollen. Will try to update once get better or share any news.

Hi how is your jawline? Is there swelling? De oh did a v line on me illegally without my consent, we agreed to a mini v line and he changed it to v line when I was under anesthesia and told me and my partner the next day my partner is a witness
Since then for 6 months I have severe neck swelling
I think he has Overshaved your jaw and you will get sagging and need a face lift.
please everyone read my review.
Dr. oh performed two jaw surgery on me and moved my jaws severely backward and now I have severe obstructive sleep apnea and need a revision surgery
I have told SUYEN that I have this severe medical condition and so Dr. Oh is aware but he has not taken any responsibility, the last time I spoke to him was 4 months ago when he yelled at me on the phone when I asked for a refund he said what are you sending me? Send me double what you paid ! And he hung up
How was your aftercare?

Hi everyone!
It's been almost 10 months since I proceeded my surgeries. I do feel great and everyone around keep saying that I look amazing (and I do think too haha).
So far, now side effects or pain. I have no swelling and overall, feel like almost 100% healed.

I checked the Korean association of plastic surgeons and did you know Dr. oh and dr. Lee are both suspended ! Anyone can go to the website and check his credentials! http://prskorea.co.kr/English/mobile/index.asp
I can’t believe he is still operating his hospital and he is suspended
How dangerous
Please read my full story on my review. He botched me
You don’t care that he ruined my face and you’re not questioning. His skills ? If he were a good surgeon he would’ve told you you don’t need the surgery
