Rhinoplasty Experience with Dr. Jae Hoon Kim (April 31 Clinic)
Superb experience with Christy (English-speaking consultant) and Dr. Kim Jae Hoon. Genuinely receptive to my needs and concerns during the pre-operation / consultation phase and, most importantly, executed beautifully.
For reference, I'm writing this as an early 20s non-Korean male
I contacted April 31 about two months ahead of my desired surgery date, having originally heard about the clinic (and Dr. Kim Jae Hoon) through a local friend. I consulted with a few different clinics, but finally settled on April 31 given Dr. Kim's stellar reputation and 3+ decades of experience.
I arrived in Seoul one day ahead of my surgery date for a fulsome consultation with Dr. Kim -- during which we discussed my desired outcome and key concerns. Dr. Kim was cool, calm and confidence-inspiring -- I left that afternoon feeling optimistic about the next day. For reference, I had a hump, bulbous nose tip, hanging columella, and caudal septum deviation, so we agreed I would undergo hump reduction, tip & columella reduction, and deviation correction.
Surgery day was very smooth - I arrived at 9AM and was in the operating room by 10AM. I was placed under local anesthesia and IV sedation - and woke up around 4-5 hours later. April 31 provided the necessary medications and brought me back to my hotel shortly thereafter. Post-surgery, I returned back to the clinic:
--- 1 day after for removal of bandages inside my nose
--- 6 days after for stitch and plastic insert removal, as well as laser de-swelling treatments
--- 9 days after for final check-up with Dr. Kim and additional laser de-swelling treatments
Christy was fully available throughout the post-operation period to answer any questions/concerns I had. While the first night was challenging given difficulty breathing through my nose, the recovery from then-on was very manageable. From Day 2 onwards, I had no trouble with long walks / light exercise, which the clinic suggested would be better for recovery than sitting/lying down all day.
I am currently a few weeks post-operation, and while my nose is still a bit swollen as expected, I am extremely pleased with the results so far.
I would highly recommend April 31.
