My surgeon clearly explaining the deep plane technique and being very honest about realistic results for my age. He even checked on me personally after the procedure. This level of care reflected my entire journey, which my coordinator Olha helped make smooth and stress-free. She assisted in choosing the right surgeon in Korea and organized everything. The VG Plastic team genuinely took the time to understand my circumstances and wishes, tailoring arrangements to my needs. The treatment covered my face, neck, and eyelids, and I am feeling better than expected at this stage. The clinic remains easy to reach, stayed in touch, and provided a clear aftercare guide. Importantly, there were no additional expenses. I am very grateful for the professionalism and care shown.

The support from the team and the surgeon has been unfailing

My biggest fear was that the result would look unnatural. Fortunately, that’s not the case at all. Even though it’s only been 15 days since the operation, my eyes look natural and smooth when I smile, which is very encouraging for the future. My biggest challenge at the moment is that the bruising isn’t fading as quickly as I’d imagined; patience is key. The support from the team and the surgeon has been unfailing. I really understand now why choosing a good surgeon is so important; it made all the difference to my confidence throughout the process.
The medical staff are very professional. They’re always there to listen to you.

I couldn't have asked for more!

I had surgery done in Korea 2 weeks ago. Bookimed had recommended a few clinics and surgeons initially and I chose VG Plastic Surgery Clinic. Ms. Queen at Bookimed helped with getting answers to many of my questions from the clinic. She followed up with me frequently and continues to do so after my surgery. Bookimed made it easier for me to narrow down on the clinic and surgeon, which I appreciated given the number of surgeons and clincs available in Korea! Ms. Queen at Bookimed assisted with setting up an initial virtual consultation with VG surgery clinic where I met Dr. Choi and Jenny (VG's coordinator and interpreter). After arriving in Korea, I had an in-person consultation with Dr. Choi and Jenny, they listened to my concerns and suggested an alternate surgery method. At the end, my surgical plan was adjusted and finalized. I really appreciated that they listened to my concerns, provided an alternative and adjusted accordingly. I believed my surgery went well since this was my first experience. Jenny at VG was terrific! She acted as my interpreter and organized my recovery services at the clinic. Jenny was accessible during my stay in Korea. I couldn't have asked for more! I flew home after 10 days and slowly recovering now at home. At this point (2 weeks), I am seeing more improvements. I can't wait to see my final results which will be in 3 to 6 months. I am hoping it will be as good as I imagine!
Dr. Choi's expertise and the fact that he listed to my concerns, provided a viable alternative and adjusted accordingly. Also really appreciated that they had interpreter for foreigners who did not speak the language and that they are accessible at all time.
Nurses during surgery were a bit mechanical. I am sure they are in surgeries all day and for them it is routine but for the patient, this could be their first time. A gentler approach would have helped to ease the anxiety.

Hello, this is VG Plastic Surgery. Thank you so much for your valuable review — we’re very happy to hear that you had a positive experience with us. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort you may have felt regarding your discharge. Normally, we only provide inpatient service on weekdays since our clinic is closed on Sundays. Nevertheless, in special circumstances where patients undergo multiple procedures, we make dedicated arrangements to ensure continuous care by assigning nurses and staff even on non-operating days. Since the staff were scheduled to assist with your discharge at 8 a.m. the following morning, we understand that the early timing may have felt somewhat burdensome, and we sincerely apologize for that. We truly appreciate your understanding and will continue to do our best to provide even better service in the future. Thank you very much 🤍
