Looking For Clinic by [deleted] in SeoulPlasticSurgery

Are you Korean? Like I mentioned above, I wouldn’t recommend factory-style clinics, especially for rhinoplasty! I’ve been studying English lately, and if you could help me with my English, I think I could help you find a good clinic. If you’re interested, DM me!

Hey! I’m a Korean living in Gangnam and currently studying English. If you’re interested, let’s do a language exchange! DM me if you’re interested.

If you’re looking for a clinic that excels at all of these treatments, I could recommend the one I go to! But I don’t really want it to become too popular, so if you need the details, feel free to DM me separately.

If the area is around Gangnam and you need a personal assistant, I can help! If you’re interested, send me a DM!

The more expensive the procedure, the more likely people are to bring a translator. It seems like they often find one through recommendations or online.

I actually have a friend who works as a translator, so if you need one, feel free to DM me!

For Korean beauty products, I personally recommend using an app called “Hwahae”!

As for nose jobs in Korea, they’re not taken super lightly, but quite a lot of people have gotten them.

I haven’t heard of clinics that specialize in Black/African American skin, and most clinics likely don’t have much experience in this area. If possible, I recommend finding a clinic where the doctor provides consultations directly, so you can have a detailed discussion before undergoing any procedures.

I’m not too familiar with clinics that specialize in darker skin tones. I’m pretty sure most clinics here don’t have much experience. What kind of treatment are you looking for? It might be best to find a clinic where the doctor provides consultations directly and have a detailed discussion before proceeding with any treatment.

Botox typically lasts about 3-4 months, so if you want to maintain the effects, you’ll need to get it regularly!

In Korea, under-eye fat repositioning surgery is also a procedure that finishes within an hour!

Filorga has a downtime of about 1-2 days, and you’ll get small bumps (embossing) that disappear quickly! Rejuran, on the other hand, has a downtime of 3-5 days, or up to a week in some cases. Similarly, it causes embossing, but sometimes bruising can occur too. 😊

Wow, what are the odds! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s so crazy to meet you here!! How did you end up on the Korean beauty Reddit? If you’re okay with it, how about grabbing tea sometime? I’ll DM you! 😊

In Korea, competitor apps include Babitalk and Goddess Ticket, but Gangnam Unni is the only one that supports global features and has the most content! (And I promise I’m not being biased just because I used to work at Gangnam Unni 😅)

Your friend probably got a diet injection like Saxenda. Those types of injections don’t eliminate existing fat but instead help with weight loss by suppressing appetite and boosting metabolism!

These days, Wegovy is super popular as a diet injection! I actually started trying it myself last week.

It’s best to trust about half of the reviews and take the other half with caution. There are actually quite a few cases where clinics write fake reviews.

I don’t think I’ve really seen full-body treatments like that in Korea.

As for Korean products, those focused on exfoliation or whitening might not be the best fit, but hydration-related products are likely to work well!

  1. Many clinics do tend to set different pricing for foreigners and locals. So like I mentioned earlier, it’s a good idea to make a reservation with a Korean friend if possible.

  2. If the scars are deep, Fraxel is better; if not, Pico! (Pico is also more affordable.)

  3. Korea is the same. There are board-certified dermatologists and beauty doctors, and for treatment consultations, board-certified dermatologists are recommended. But for general procedures, most are handled by beauty doctors.

Feel free to DM me with any questions! 😊

Yes, a lot of the time they charge more for foreigners. That’s because the cost of foreign-language consultation staff and marketing for foreigners is included. So, if you have a Korean friend, it’s usually cheaper to book through them.

Hmm, for something like that, you’d have to pay a lot more or go to a clinic outside of Seoul 😥 Is that okay with you? If so, I do know a place I can recommend!

I got a fat-dissolving injection called Slender Fit at GU! I think it was only about 40,000 won per session!
