I had a very disappointing experience with this clinic. The doctor did not listen to my requests and performed a cartilage graft from my ear without informing me, which was a real shock. The staff showed little interest and treated me more like a case than a person. I was rushed throughout the process, with very little time to recover after surgery. Although the clinic seemed hygienic, communication was poor — I was promised a French translator, but only an English one was available, and the manager who acted as a translator didn’t have the necessary language skills. I also paid extra fees for a specific request that was clearly not fulfilled. And I noticed a clear difference in their attitude once the payment was completed — much less attention and care. It was honestly the worst experience of my life. Read more less

First of all, dear client we are sorry for any inconvenience that might be caused. There are few misunderstanding points we would like to clarify. Cartilage is important material for any basic rhinoplasty type, especially ear cartilage graft is required for improving asymmetry of the tip shape, for the patient who prefers sharper tip shape. Septal and ear cartilage grafts are commonly and most frequently used in rhinoplasty and before proceeding with any surgical procedure we receive informed consent from the patient. Informed consent form includes information about cartilage use and it was confirmed by your personal handwritten signature before the surgery. We have explained several times about this matter and must respectfully inform you that the repeated spreading, posting false information online is considered legal matter under Korean law and may have serious consequences. Moreover, we have fully explained to your parent that was present on the consultation as legal representative of a minor that recovery period takes up to 6 months and we kindly ask for patience during this period. We remain dedicated to supporting your recovery and ensuring the best possible outcome, thus would like to assist with scheduling follow-up video call for smooth communication. Thank you.

He did a good job on my surgery and I recommend him for anyone seeking plastic surgery in Korea

The beginning of surgery was tough, doing the upper and lower Blepharplasty with shots and some pain reliever in my IV and I needed something a little stronger but I understand how careful the Dr was because I was under full anesthesia the minute the eye surgeries were done. The results are looking amazing and the swelling decreased daily. I’m not sure what oral pain meds I was on after surgery but it was perfect for me because I don’t like to be on very many pain meds and when the meds ended it was the time I usually stop taking any pain meds. I’m pleased with the results I’m seeing so far and it’s only 3 weeks post-op. Lilith and the the girls were amazing, Lilith helped be to the hotel nearby after my 2 day stay at the surgical hospital and she helped me with exchanging my money to pay my hotel bill because my Credit Union was blocking my use of my credit card. I recommend anyone from outside of Korea to make sure they have an account with a larger bank before getting surgery in another country. I can’t say how much I needed and got reassurance from the staff with removal of my stitches and just how conscientious the staff was that I would be as comfortable as possible. Dr Kim Yong Woo always asked if I had any questions and spend the time before and after surgery to make sure all my questions were answered. He did a good job on my surgery and I recommend him for anyone seeking plastic surgery in Korea. Read more less

I liked the Bariatric chamber to lie in, It’s a little strange feeling but I could feel it affecting my swelling and it helped the edema and bruising to decrease quickly. Also the staff was so wonderful to help me through uncomfortable procedures of removing of my stitches. I was a little skeptical about being moved right after surgery because I usually have vomited without an oral motion sickness pill but I don’t every remember being moved back to my bed in the hospital and had no nausea so I like the anti-motion sickness med that is given intravenously during surgery.

I don’t have an answer but I needed a stronger pain medication or more pain shots with the Blepharoplasty’s but I’m not sure what the answer is.

About Bookimed service

I talked more about the surgery than using Bookimed but I had a hard time at first using a third party to place a down payment on my surgery but when I looked online how that is the normal procedure for surgical procedures in another country I was assured and unfortunately my bank was making it hard for me because you need a larger bank than a credit union to help get legit payments through so I appreciate the staff at Bookimed being so patient with me because it took almost one week to get the down payment through.
