Intersted in V-Line Surgery in Seoul, South Korea

I have been looking into having V-line surgery in...
I have been looking into having V-line surgery in the US for months now and haven't found a doctor that I feel like would give me the desired shape. Many of them have before and after pics that are just not the best compared to South Korea. I have found 2 clinics that do it and haven't chosen one yet but I want to find someone who is also interested in getting this procedure done so maybe we can travel together, and get an Airbnb place and stay together. Maybe spend time in Korea together until we are ready to come back home. I don't know how to speak Korean, so if you can speak it too even better, if not, we can figure it out. It's scary flying internationally for a surgery and having company would be nice. We can save some money on hotel and be a friend to one another too!
I am looking to get the procedure done by end of the year 2016.

I DECIDED NOT TO GO TO KOREA FOR SURGERY
WOW I GOT SO MANY MESSAGES ON HERE. I DECIDED NOT TO GO AND I AM STILL LOOKING INTO SOME OTHER FFS DOCTORS IN THE STATES. TO THOSE WARNING ME, RELAX AND THANKS FOR THE CONCERN, I WILL LOOK INTO DOING IT HERE IN THE STATES. YES, THERE IS SAGGING BUT MOSTLY WHEN YOUR OF OLDER AGE AS WHEN YOUR YOUNG IN YOUR EARLY 20's OUR SKIN IS STILL TIGHT AND QUICKLY ATTACHES BACK TO SKIN. PLUS ITS NOT A HUGE CHANGE ITS SOMETHING SUBTLE NOT AS AGGRESSIVE AS KOREANS DO SO I THINK I'LL BE FINE. I AM STILL GOING THROUGH WITH THIS PROCEDURE JUST HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT DOCTOR.
ILL UPDATE WHEN I FIND HIM/HER!

I was looking at going to Korea as well to get the v-line surgery but ended up finding a dr in Manhattan. I'm scheduled to have mine done December 15th with Dr Edmund Kwan. I hope this is helpful

Face bone reduction will result in excess soft tissues, sagging ( no doubt about that). Some patients, broken /fracture face bones, irrepairable. Craniosurgeon now warning patients,about the problems that come with face bone reduction.,it will put the soft tissues out of place, the face develops a strange shape. Premature aging.

I completely agree with you, but this Dr actually specializes in craniofacial surgery for individuals involved in car accidents. My jaw was shifted after I fell off a bunk bed when I was younger and it healed crooked. When considering any adjustments to bones in the face it's best to consult with an actual cranio plastic surgeon, which is what I did.

That's good.Read what craniofacial surgeons have been informing the public.Google," Mandible Jaw Reduction,V Line,Zygoma cheek bone reduction and Chin bone reduction: Problems and consequences "

Do keep us posted! I'm also in SoCal and looking to do a V-line surgery. I've just began researching and I'm wondering what made you changed your mind about doing the surgery in SK?

Hi, go to Korea. They're the best in the world, trust me, I did my research for 2 years, and once I turned 18 I came to Korea, thankfully my father came with me and I have my sister here who's an English teacher. I am a pro with finding the right clinic, I have many Korean friends who have had amazing v line surgery results!! I had eye and rhino plasty but I want to go back to get a chin reduction maybe. Banobagi and ID hospital are the best for jaw surgery, both have appeared on Korean tv with AMAZING results. There are sketchy places that can mess up your face by making it way to small, usually they charge cheaper. For v line with banobagi and ID starts at 8 million won, so about $7000 more or less. I highly recommend you go through with it in Korea, and this is my honest opinion, I LOVE my results! Definitely worth it, and they're so welcoming and will be there for every step!! They're so great, and they will message you everyday asking if you're okay and if you need anything etc, unlike America where all they care about is money.

they are absolutely the worst in the world. You must be kidding. I have been severely botched in Korea with functional problems and bones that did not fuse together. Horrible experience and I want to one of the best, supposedly

Yeah I had a consult scheduled in September. They made me wait a month! I did intense research meanwhile then cancelled. Still want something done, but I didn't want to go there like "Uh..." I'm glad I waited because I'm still not sure what I'm looking.

I DECIDED TO GO TO KOREA FOR VLINE SURGERY
Hey Guys! Sorry its been a rollercoaster and I had been MIA about going. I actually just had Buccal Fat Removal as well as Chin contouring/with implant and it has been 2 weeks Post op. I thought maybe this would give me a change but it's not even close to what V-line surgery will give me in Korea. I spent 8K on these two procedures and totally regret it now. I decided to go to S. Korean, probably in the coming months. I'll reach out to anyone who wants to go together or just re-message me if you want =)).
I am planning on maybe going in March/April.....

Please be fair and concerned for other readers or potential patients and give them the opportunity to also find out about the problems and consequences of jaw or cheek bone reduction. ( I am happy not to make any more comments here.)

Hi pretty1cali. I can understand your desire to go through with this type of surgery. Like you, I was enticed by the before and after results. What you need to understand is that photos can be photoshopped-there's makeup, lighting and angles. Don't think that bone reduction is a one time thing. I am also young and foolishly had bone reduction surgery. I was so enticed by the Korean makeover show that I went through this traumatic surgery. I ended up with sagging skin ,asymmetry and loose tissue. The surgery left a bulge of scar tissue along my jawline which will never go away. It's been 2 years since my surgery and I have never been more depressed and broken-hearted. My once sculpted face is now a blob. Understand when you walk into a plastic surgeons office, you are a costumer. Sometimes the best surgery is the one you never have. Learn from my mistakes because once you lose your beauty you will learn a very, very hard lesson.

Hi Jlyn88, I'm very sorry about your experience. I myself have a facial asymmetry and thinking getting it fix through jaw surgery in Korea. X.X
January 19, 2017
Honey, I personally know like 10 people that I met in the past month that went to KOREA and had the surgery and there is nothing wrong with them Ok? There is no assyemtry , no sagging. They perform hundreds of these operations every week, there will be a few cases of things going wrong, that is Totally Normal and happens with every surgeon. This Surgery was Invented by Koreans, I think they know how to do it properly, thanks for your concern though =).

Plenty of websites with much more than 10 people sharing their experiences from face bone reduction. I work with lawyers who are helping these patients and there are so many court cases but you won't hear their reviews because they have to sign not to disclose information. Google " mandible reduction problems and consequences australian plastic surgery forum". You will see a long list of patients links ,vdos, and more.

Just remember, common problems associated with face bone reduction: soft tissues out of place(discomfort), excess soft tissues, sagging, premature aging, potential over cut or uneven cut face bones, also fracture and broken facial bones. Some cases not repairable.All this will require multiple stages of reconstructive surgeries and having to wear facial implants to provide boney support for the skin and soft tissues, cost thousands to fix. Serious court cases, and going to countries where English is not the main language, all your documents in English will have to be translated into their language, cost a bomb.And medical payout in Korea and some of these countries are small which will not recover all the expenses needed to fix the damages. Most of these cases are from S.Korea and another country in S.E. Asia., reconstructive surgeons and medical prosecutors/lawyers deal with many of these cases.

I’m sorry about your experience, I have similar situation. did you get a reconstruction?
January 20, 2017
Hey, pretty1cali :)
Have you decided on a date?
I've been looking into V-line surgery for years, and I agree also that Korean surgeons are more experienced in this type of procedure. US doctors unfortunately aren't familiar with it.

If I am lucky to find someone & actually go through with whatever the procedure is, I will definitely post my progress/results.
Have you checked Dr. Kimberly Lee? She has v line jaw reduction & facial contouring. However, I couldn't find too many reviews either.
Please keep us updated on how this goes for you!
