I am a mixed (black & white) 38 year old female that's starting to show signs of aging.
I have had a few of surgeries with the "best plastic surgeons in Atlanta" . The best plastic surgeons in Atlanta gave me a crooked chin implant (really due to my underlying anatomy but Hell if ur "the best" then you should've delivered better by customizing the implant before inserting ) , 2 different size breast implants (doc convinced me that since my breast were 2 different sizes it'd make sense, so he guessed what size to go with and got it wrong), a botched scar revision surgery (the liquid stitches popped open), and thousands of dollars worth of filler under my eyes (has not corrected the problem but like I dummy I keep gone back) . What the hell... After all this money I still look whack!! Im so tired of American plastic surgeons. MOST American plastic surgeons will botch your surgery or just under deliver!!
I have been OBSESSED with South Korean plastic surgery for a few years. South Korea is the Plastic Surgery capital of the WORLD. Soooo it makes sense that the doctors can perform better Because they do more surgeries & have more experience operating on ethnic features. Plus , Koreans understand what's beautiful & share my vision of what beauty is. When you think about it "westerners" have a completely different idea of what beauty is.
I am so excited. That is an understatement
I'm am having the following surgeries for 1/3 the cost of American surgery & it will be BETTER quality. mark my words --> better
1)quick zygoma reduction: side zygoma reduction
2)removal of chin implant
3) sliding genio
3)dark circle removal via fat repositioning and removal of eyebag
5)cheek implants : to solve the loosend skin + fill in the sunken parts
I will post before pics close to my surgery date August 1st.

Cheek implants? Usually Korean surgery reduces cheekbones! Good luck. I'm also interested in surgery there

You are right! In the end, did not get cheek implants. I got side face zygoma reduction instead With minimal muscle detachment :)

Seen this review about face bone reduction (comes with problems)?

UPDATED FROM MissABC123
1 month pre
Just booked my surgery :)
MissABC123June 21, 2016
Today I Gave my down payment and booked my consultantion & surgery for July 30th :) I'm so excited and scared at the same time. This will be the furthest I've ever traveled away from home!! I can not believe I'm doing this. Seems very surreal
I've heard such great things about TL Pastic Surgery in Seoul South Korea. Dr Choi is my surgeon and will preform the entire surgery. I heard Dr. swapping was a big problem in Seoul & and is the primary reason for botched surgeries but this clinic claims to not do that.
I've started preparing for my trip & making a list. I heard that bringing baby food is very important because I'll be on a liquid diet for a few days and baby food (in the jar) is almost impossible to find there. Also I need different size straws to eat or drink my food through. I plan to book an amazing Airbnb for my stay . rental homes in Korea are super cheap... Like 35-55$ a night for a whole house!

Hello I am so excited for you! i also will have surgery in korea. How did you choose tl plastic surgery clinic? I am having a hard time choosing a clinic.
July 21, 2016
Thank youuuuu! Im super excited my about my surgery.
I've search forums for a few months & MANY of the famous South Korean plastic surgery clinics are blacklisted. Primarily because they're famous for Dr. swapping. There'll be a surgeon who will operate on your face who is simply a student or not even!!! The doctor will be in the operating room at 1st and as soon as you go to sleep they swap out for another person! I would do your research as much as possible to find blacklisted plastic surgery clinic's. Be very careful here's one link I found of clinics to be ware of http://aboutkoreanplasticsurgeryandbeauty.blogspot.com/2016/03/korean-black-list-of-plastic-surgery.html?m=1
Also do research here http://forum.purseblog.com/forums/asian-plastic-surgery-cosmetic-procedures.277/
I chose my clinic because they have the highest satisfaction rate & lowest complaint rate that I've foundin South Korea

I've rented a nice AirBnb loft in the middle of famous GangNam next to fine cafe’s, restaurants, and theatres . It was actually 65$ because I convinced my friend to go so I splurged on a larger spot :)
The only money I've paid is the down payment for my surgery, so I could schedule my date. There's no consultation fee

Most plastic surgery Korean clinics do not have consultation fees because to Koreans they charge a lot on the actual procedure hence they don't see the point of "upsetting" the patient by charging for a consult : however the consult isn't as thorough as America nor is the coordinator as knowledgeable. If you are ok with a quickie consult and rushed procedure Korea is known for that.
January 30, 2017
There are ways also to check whether the Korean doctor is indeed a certified plastic surgeon and do not trust google's ads or trust weird Korean extreme makeover TV shows: whichever hospital is on those shows do not go to and avoid.
January 30, 2017
@superman147: the best way to choose a clinic not only in Korea but everywhere else including America is by actually researching not on the clinic itself but rather the type of procedure you need done . Look for the topic, find the medical term, find which Korean doctor participated at a national level or American conference to present on that topic, then try to find where this doctor owns a clinic at.

Do you really save money even if their surgery is cheaper considering getting their cost a grip??
UPDATED FROM MissABC123
1 day pre
My journey to South Korea starts today!
MissABC123July 27, 2016
Just boarded-> 17hours till I reach Seoul with 1 connecting flight. I wanted to update y'all. I'll post pics today as well.
Here's information about my procedures
The TLPS version of the quick zygoma makes an incomplete fracture in the zygoma and manipulates it for a smaller facial width. Since the fracture is incomplete, the recovery time is less. sutures are not required and there's a lower chance of sagging since the tissues aren't disrupted or detached from the bone.
I'm having Sliding Genioplasty to allow the surgeon to move my chin to an ideal orientation , projection, & shape. My current implant will be removed.
TL Power V lift (liposuction + Acculift) is
Non- incisional V line surgery around the jaw line. It should provide a slim V line face line without shaving the bone. The Power V lift removes fat under the skin and pulls up the SMAS(Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) area of skin where the fat is removed. It eliminates fatty jowl, boosts Collagen, & Improves skin's elasticity
Last I'm having dark eye circle correction

Let me know if you might be interested in creating an educational video while you do all this. Seems not enough detailed explanations for the public online regarding the myriads of complex procedures.
Oh Wow, how exciting! Please keep us updated!
