Hello everyone,

I wanted to share my expierence getting rid of my double chin, and hope it can be of help to others!
As a birthday gift to myself I am having my double chin removed. I have consulted with several clinics and have decided to go with BK plastic surgery hospital located in Seoul Korea.
I have decided on BK because I want a clinic that can help me during my stay in Korea, and also a hospital that is safe, clean, and expierenced. BK also has some very nice before and after photos on their website, that make me very hopeful for my results.
So far BK has been very good to answer all my questions quickly and with lots of information. I can tell their staff and translators care a lot about their patients.
As of now I have an in-person consultation date scheduled for the 21st, and a surgery afterwards.
I believe my consultation with the doctor will go smoothly Monday the 21st and I will be able to have my surgery shortly afterward.
I do like the shape and look of my face, however I think my fatty neck and jaw distract from my other nice features. I would love to have a sharper jaw-line and no double chin. I know removing my double chin will make me feel more confident in my looks. It will help me feel younger and more cute. It is because of these reasons I have decided to move forward with my surgery.
I am looking forward to my in-person consultation with Dr. Dr. Rhee Byung Jun. He will be performing liposuction of my double chin with Acculift.
It is $1600 per area, and I think I will have both my double chin and jaw line areas treated. I will consult a further the Doctor and see if treating both areas will give me my desired look, and also to hear his recommendation!
Currently I am very excited! Luckily I am so excited that I am finally getting rid of my double chin that I'm only a little nervous for surgery!

Dr. Rhee Byung Jun was excellent. During our consultation he listened carefully to me while I explained the results I was looking for. I also appreciated that he took the time to explain his plan for our surgery. While I stayed at BK hospital for my recovery he checked in on me and made sure my healing was going smoothly. He had a nice calm personality and was very skilled. The staff at BK was very friendly throughout. Before surgery they answered my questions. The staff helped me arrange transportation to the hospital and also let me stay in the BK hospital for recovery. The staff took very good care of me, and they made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I thought this was very important since I was a patient that was traveling abroad. After surgery BK staff checked in on me and my results. They have been very easy to communicate with, and are very quick with replies. Payment at BK was very simple and fast, and they were even able to help me receive a tax refund.

Wow. You must be excited. How much research did you do before selecting the clinic for your procedure? There are so many medical institutions in Korea that does cosmetic surgery, it's overwhelming to do the research on which clinic is safe and best. I hope your safe recovery and satisfying result! ;)

I looked into several clinics that offer Acculift. I think Seoul is very well known as a beauty capital in the world, so there are alot of choices. One way I narrowed down my choice was by finding a clinic that would offer additional help to foreign patients. BK offered me airport pick-up and drop-off and some time to stay in their Guest House after surgery, in addition to having a free English Translator.

I feel I had done a good amount of research before my procedure. I really was looking for a clinic with safety features, and was able to help English Speakers. I think once you start consulting with clinics you are better able to tell who is a good match for you. The recovery has been going very smoothly, but I still have to be patient for my final results!! Thanks!

I'm only a few days away from my surgery day and I'm looking forward to it! I wanted to share some additional before photos to show how my face looks, and how especially from profile view my double chin is very noticeable. From the front it is noticeable if I pull my face in, or look down. And 3/4 view it is also visible! I can't wait to have a cute jaw nad face shape ????

Day of Consultation and Surgery

Update on the Day of Consultation and Surgery. I arrived to BK Plastic Surgery Hospital a little before 10am. As I entered the hospital buulding I was greeted by a gal on the first floor, she took me name and had me go up the second floor. I met my English Translator on the second floor. We started by filling out paperwork and then went to my consultation. First I talked with my English Translator about my plans, and what I hoped to achieve from this surgery.
I explained that I wanted to reduce my double chin, and remove the fat from my neck. In addition, I wanted my jawline to be a little sharper with less fat. I showed her all the areas I wanted changed. After I talked with her, she called for the doctor.
He was very professional, greeted me kindly when he walked in. My English Translator explained to Dr. Rhee Byung Jun what I wanted. He listened very carefully. He then explained that he would be able to improve my neck and jawline, however how much it would improve would depend on my body and skin. He explained that some of the sagging, and bulging was fat and some may be tissue. He assured me he would do his best, but that their may be some limitations.
He then explained to me where he would make his incisions. He would make two behind my jaw near my ear, and he may make two incisions in the corners of my mouth. He explained the incisions would be very small and hidden and would likely fade away within a month or two. I wasn't very keen on two incisions by my mouth. He explained very carefully that they would be small, and that they would help me access the fat along my cheeks and jaw. After listening to his explanation I took his suggestion and said it was okay to have two small incisions by my mouth corners.
After my consultation we took before photos, had a blood test, and changed into my hospital gown. I met with the doctor one final time to 'design' my face. He drew where he would take the fat, and marked my jawline, double chin, and some fat along my jaw. We finalized the plan for surgery in my final consultation.
My English Translator took me to the surgery floor where I was prepped for surgery. They gave me an IV, and secured me to the surgery table. They cleaned my face and neck and secured my hair. I also had an oxygen and heart monitor. Dr. Rhee Byung Jun came in and also prepared. I was SO nervous and then I don't even remember falling asleep.

I woke up hours later, I felt like I had a bad headache. I fell beck asleep and awoke awhile later when the nurse came to check on me and remove my IV. I slowly sat up, I felt okay. My jaw felt stiff. My English Translator checked on me, she ordered me some food and brought my medicine. I was able to go to the bathroom, and awhile later I ate some Korean porridge and had some medicine. Then the nurse helped me put on my compression garment.
Later I was escorted to my room on the 14th floor provided by BK Plastic Surgery. This room is like a Guest House where patients stay to recover. I was very tired and slept through the night.
