Upper Eyelid Surgery in Soth Korea

I wanted to do my upper eye lid surgery for few years. For some reason none of the doctors I consulted in Canada gave me the confidence. Till someone here posted his experience in South Korea.
And everything started then. Is not only about my eyelid surgery, is like I discovered a completely new world of cosmetic surgery. I got in touch with few clinics on line and after that I found out about DocfinderKorea. OMG such an amazing idea. And they took me as a patient even thou I already had everything booked with the hospital.There are many critics about this agency (this should be another post) but none is real. They are doing an amazing job for foreigners. They don’t get paid according to the amount you pay for the surgery, but for number of patient they refer to the clinic. You will get the same price with or without them. Better with them because they take you there. But if the hospital doesn’t give discount you won’t get no matter what. And mine didn’t. I had my surgery at JK clinic and I would pay the same price. My doctor was Dr.Kim. I simply trust him from the first sight. He is not pushing you to do anything basically, but somehow give you the confidence that whatever you do with him is going to be great.However, docfinder was a great help. A team of young and hardworking girls, they arrange a car fir the airport, they pay for it, they take you to the consultation and the producers, discharge you from the hospital, pay for your medication and driving you around on their expense. What’s to not go with them, I just loved them. I consulted 4 clinics after my surgery because I wanted to get some inputs about neck/lower face lift, and they went with me everywhere, no complains. Such an amazing group of people. So, if you are new in all these, yes, go with them, is just only on your advantage.Back to my surgery, it looks great, I am very happy, It was easier than a Botox session, I had no bruised or swelling , 3 days later I looked like nothing was done.In terms of consultation I went to JK hospital, Banobagi, ID and MVP. They had slightly different opinions and except JK decent prices. I would still go with JK even tho there are most expansive or Banobagi as second. JK has his own hotel, which was amazing and I think I paid a decent price.I also did some other stuff, Ultherapy together with Filogra injections in my first day, before surgery. They offered good pain management, yes was painful, especially the injections, but, hey, nothing is without a bit of pain. I also did BB Lavieen laser with baby injections, more for hydration, spots and rejuvenation . I wanted to do as much as possible in my time there.I did something for my body too, LAMS which is a Local Anesthetic Minimal-Invasive Liposuction for my legs and waist. Again this is something local for small area of stubborn fat. Is an amazing procedure, they are the best of doing this . The hospital was 365 mc. I will post separate details about this procedure.Bottom line, great experience. I became so knowledgeable about everything, learned so many things and thank you for people here posting about this.

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your reviews here. Your eyes look great! It seems like a minimal surgery but your eyes opened up nicely and you look amazing! I am also looking into JK to get some procedures done, thanks to the same guy who posted his review here earlier, that I think you also followed and asked him helpful questions which led me to your review. If I can get your honest opinion, I see that you went to 4 clinics in Korea, would you honestly recommend JK clinic especially if you're traveling alone for your surgery? How do you feel about the Doctors, staff and facilities at JK? JK markets more to foreign patients, did this help you feel more comfortable then? Sorry for all the questions here, I'm sure you understand how this feels. Thank you in advance for your time.

Absolutely, I’m more than happy to help . You can ask me anything. As I already mentioned I’d still chose JK over other clinics because my experience with them was amazing . I have to tell you that even now my consultant there is in touch with me . I will go back for my neck surgery and most likely I’ll chose JK. Also, going by myself I wanted to stay in the hospital hotel . Is more convenient and also you get the advantage of having nurses checking on you continuously, lots of post surgery healing products and lasers that you don’t need to pay for . It is more expensive than book your self into a local hotel or Airbnb but totally worth it . I think the only similar clinic is VIP which is cross the street . Didn’t have an appointment there tho . I liked the doctor at Banobagi too , you can look into that clinic , they just a closer place for accommodation for the first couple of nights . Anyways , if you get in touch with the hospital coordinator they may help with recommendations. Docfinder’s Korea , check their website are also a great help . I can put you in touch with my coordinator there . Everything was free.
Now your question was about JK, yes I do recommend the clinic and dr Kim . Definitely. What are your thinking of doing ? My surgery was minimal but I’m going back. Not sure if possible this year due Covid , but soon . Let me know what else will be helpful for you to know

Just added pictures to my previous post review
Also , forgot to mention that the laser procedures were done in different clinics . I did Ultherapy and Filogra injection at Me clinic and BB Lavieen laser at Ppeum clinic , Both specialized in this type of procedure plus Me clinic had the best prices .

What is filogra injections..? Its so hard to trust plastic surgeons, I'm in Los Angeles so close to Beverly Hills where you can pay $$$$$ & get botched but it incredibly helpful to see reviews like yours to know it can be safe to travel for high quality procedures. Please keep us posted for your next trip. Can't wait to follow your journey. Best wishes
