(I did more procedures than the SMAS lift, but it was the one I chose as the setting for the review only)
Age caught up with me and I wanted to look younger so I finally had the courage to take a risk that paid off. My experience is for you to read.
July 2015 - My First Experience, SMAS
For me as for many others, one of the first areas that began to show signs of aging was face. The skin began to inevitably go down forming ugly folds and furrows, and excessive fat deposition only aggravated the situation. I've been looking for effective anti-aging procedures with minimal harm for quite long and eventually found out about Acculift. And that was an ideal solution for me, it was simple and safe, while the result was immediately noticeable. I've been watching reviews of different people from different countries mostly focusing on antiaging procedures and finally chose Regen plastic surgery in Seoul. On July 6 2015 I met Dr.Oh for the first time and liked his professionalism and attention to details from the very beginning. The procedure was carried out on the same day and what I liked the most was the absence of recovery period, no seams and most importantly, it took me only 30 minutes under local anesthesia.
September 2016 - Cantoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty, Forehead Lift, SMAS lift, Rhinoplasty
I admired the results of the procedure throughout a year and decided to further improve my appearance. A year later I came back to Regen for changing the shape of my nose and eyes. One friend of mine got cantoplasty done a year before and looked amazing. Thousands of women want to look more spectacular and younger, and sometimes it's quite enough just to change the shape of your eyes. My second cherished dream was to change my nose, I thought that its small transformation makes me even more beautiful :) Along with nose and eyes job I also decided to do a SMAS and forehead lift to get rid of the "old" mimic creases in the forehead and between my eyebrows. Testing before the surgery took me more time than in previous year since general anesthesia was required. I was sure that I trusted right hands, so wasn't worried about the operation much.
This time I had two different doctors. Dr.Kim was responsible for my eyes and forehead and Dr.Oh for nose and face. As soon as I got an anesthesia shot I fell asleep and woke up already in my recovery room. The recovery period obviously was longer than the last time, but results were astounding. Today scars from SMAS lifting are almost invisible and I'm 100% satisfied.
November 2017 - Fat Transfer, Botox, Filler
Because of my excessive facial impressions and a few lost pounds during the year, wrinkles in eyes and lips zones again began to appear and in November 2017 I came for the "fresh" doze of improving myself. I was thinking about Acculift, but after consultation with Dr.Oh decided to inject Botox into the interbrow area and outer corners of my eyes. Nasolabial folds we removed by using fillers. The whole process didn't take much time and hopefully was painless. I was also concerned about a baggy skin below my eyes and was thinking of lower blepharoplasty, but it turned out that there was no need for it. He advised to fill cheeks and under eyes zone with my own fat. Initially the fat was taken from the belly zone, then the drained fat was sent for proceeding where plasma was separated and the purified fat was injected into problem zones on my face. The overall time of the operation was about an hour under general anesthesia.
There were no bruising on my face after the procedure, only a small edema at the point where the fat was taken from. Dr.Oh also advised not to lose weight sharply since the main condition for long lasting effect was to maintain the same weight.
Now I'm still contenting the result of all procedures I underwent.
The total cost for SMAS, forehead, eyes and rhino was over 20 mil WON. The fat transfer, botox and filler was 5 mil WON. Also I got around 7-8 mil WON discount for getting all at once.

Wow! You look amazing. I have been looking at Dr Myung June ohs work. How did you decide to go with him?. What is the hospital like and did you have a Skype consultation with him before you went over. X

Thank you so much! Actually it was quite difficult for me to decide. I had a friend living in Seoul, so when I found out about Regen and Dr.Oh I asked him to find out more. He said that Regen and Dr.Oh are quite popular in Seoul and have quite good reputation among both foreigners and locals. The clinic was nice with pretty design and I liked the atmosphere, my recovery room reminded me a hotel with all inclusive service :) I contacted them via whats app but spoke with the consultant. I spoke with Dr. Oh in person when i visited the hospital.
