South korea i picked up an ad online and went there to do an operation. I saw the doctor for one min. In consulation hour i only saw an assistant the doctor i saw one minute then i was dragged to the operation room. During the operation room. I felt dying. I saw myself out of my body, lying on operation table. It was horrible. i'm lucky i survived, the whole experience was very negative. i wanted my stiches out and back home. though next day i toured with very large swallow face. just because not to show my kids who followed me how angry i was from the clinic. Though i never showed the clinic my anger i smiled and tried with the best attidude. The doctor have signed a paper he will do a free cost operation for free in the summer. But never i dont want to do anything there. i googled and i saw a girl died there last year,due to your research before doing anything.

Right now i'm trying to loose weight very much. i will operate myself later.
after weight loss 25 kilos.

also i had graves and thyroid from two years. i'm doing an operation with a friend of my father he is a plastic surgeon. and he will operate my eyes, nose and chin.
my father knows him very well and i operated myself there before my graves, he lifted my eyes and filled my cheeks and lips from more than ten years so he is a brilliant plastic surgeon.

i was looking in USA too but not anymore.
i want a good relationship to know him well the plastic surgeon before operating not seeing him only one minute.

I recently went to Seoul to do eye surgery, my experience was similar to yours... I'm very dissatisfy of my result. May I ask which clinic you went to?

Hello, thanks for your message to me. I appreciate it. I've read your story and am interested in what your plans are for further work. What surgery did you have in Korea? Sorry about your experience. I was thinking of going to Korea to fix some things, including my nose and eyes (I used to have a positive canthal tilt which was affected by the bad fat grafting). My plan was to travel out there and do consultations first, then fly back for the surgery. I heard that the big clinics do "doctor swaps" where they draft in a resident once you're under. I also heard that the "best" Korean doctors don't advertise, although they say that about the US as well. I actually had 2 x surgeries in the US with appalling results - I am not convinced that the US doctors are even as good as some of the Europeans. In fact, most of the surgeries I've seen with good results have been done in Korea.
