I liked the procedures suggested by VG Plastic Surgery the best and I saw that they had good reviews online, so I set up a consultation. \n\nConsultation: At the consultation, several photos were taken in order to analyze the surgery and what would work best for me. The doctor suggested a sub-brow lift for my sagging eyelid skin, a deep plane facelift and a midface lift to address the loss of volume and sagging along with a fat graft to restore the volume to my cheeks, and a lower blepharoplasty to address the hollowness under my eyes along with the malar edema. I worked with Smile, one of the consultants who was very helpful and went over everything with me including all of the options and prices. She was very professional but warm, which is one reason that I decided to go with VG over other clinics.\n\nPre-Surgery Check-up: A few days before my surgery, I went in for a checkup where they did a chest x-ray and a blood test to make sure my body was healthy enough for the surgery. I met with Dr. Im, my surgeon, to go over the plan for the surgery and make sure everything was in place. I met another consultant, Lily, who interpreted everything for me and made sure that everything was clear and comfortable for me. \n\nSurgery: The day of surgery, I did an interview about the procedure and how I was feeling prior to the surgery as well as taking several \"before\" photos to use as comparison. I had also fasted for 8 hours (food and water). The surgery was very smooth, but I believe it lasted a long time- between 6-8 hours as there were many procedures being done. I had to have a breathing tube, which was quite uncomfortable for the first 12 hours after surgery, but I was glad that the doctors took every precaution. They also put in drains in my neck and inside my mouth to keep blood and fluid from pooling under my skin as well as a catheter. \n\nPost-Surgery: After surgery, I was taken to a private room for recovery. I stayed in the room for about 24 hours and the nurses took very good care of me, coming in to replace the ice packs for my face, check on my catheter and incisions and just making sure I was comfortable. I was eventually able to have water, then some soy milk, and finally some porridge when I was ready. Lily and Smile checked on me several times to be sure everything was alright and to translate for me.\n\nThe next day before leaving the hospital, the bandages were removed and Dr. Im came in and checked on me to make sure that everything had gone well. Lily, Smile and another consultant, Jenny, were there to interpret and to make sure I was alright.  They removed the catheter and cleaned the incisions, replacing them with clean bandages. I also did an oxygen treatment in a hyperbaric chamber, which was very relaxing. I took a taxi home with Smile's support.\n\nScary Moment: One thing that happened that was a bit scary for me was that I wasn't prepared for how much my eyes would swell up after the surgery. I felt like my bandages were bursting (and the nurse helped me to relieve some of the pressure) and when I looked at myself the day after the surgery, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. The veins in my eyes burst, making them completely red and my eyes swelled up so much I could barely see. This was scary for me as I had not seen this in any of the videos I had watched prior when doing my research. The staff assured me it was normal and that it would go back down, but I guess I'd say that for the first 2-3 days after the surgery, I was pretty worried that something was wrong. The ointment I was applying to keep the incisions clean also coated my eyes from time to time blurring my vision, which was scary, but the consultant assured me this was only because of the medication. \n\nI went back to the clinic after 3 days for a check-up and to have my incisions cleaned and the blood drains emptied. Each time I visited the clinic, I was given an oxygen treatment and several photos were taken for documentation. After the swelling in my eyes went down, my recovery progressed quickly. I had more visits (at 7 days, 10 days, 14 days and then 3 weeks) to remove stitches and drains and to monitor my progress. At 7 days, I was given a complimentary hair wash as well, which was very relaxing and such a relief. I also wore a head brace/wrap to keep my face from moving around too much for about a month. I did take it off to sleep at times because it felt tight, but I tried to keep it on during the day for the most part.\n\n\nConclusion: I am now 5 months post-op, and I am very happy with my results. I feel that my concerns were addressed, and that I look younger and fresher, but still like myself, which was always the goal of this surgery for me. I feel a renewed vigor and like I look like the person I have always been, if that makes sense. I still have some puffiness under my eyes at times, especially when I have built up fluid retention or am very tired, and I am still working to find the cause/solution for this. I believe it is related to lymphatic drainage, so I understand that the surgery could not fully correct this issue, although I do feel like it is better than before. \n\nMost of all, I just wanted to say that I recommend VG because of the wonderful consideration, kindness, and support that I received there. From the way that the consultants went out of their way to help and support me, not just through translation, but by encouraging me and helping me, to the care the nurses gave me, to the skill that Dr. Im and his staff in the operating room showed, I am very happy. The scars from my incisions are unnoticeable and will most likely become completely invisible with time, and I feel that my surgery goals were reached. A big thanks to VG Surgery and their staff. \n\nI would also like to thank Bookimed for helping me to find this clinic and giving me the information I needed to make my decision."},"order":{"operation":{"id":21,"name":{"en":"Facelift"}}},"doctor_info":{"id":2051,"name":"Im Young Min","alias":"young-min-im"},"clinic_info":{"id":874,"name":"VG Plastic Surgery","alias":"vg-plastic-surgery","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":true}]},"created_at":"2025-06-30T04:02:12.013+00:00","flags":[{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":false},{"name":"would_recommend","value":true},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":false},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false},{"name":"coordinator_mentioned","value":true}],"client_response":{"preview_to_review_text":{"en":"I would like to share my experience with BookiMed and their recommmendation, VG (Very Good) Plastic Surgery. \n\nDoctor: Dr. Im Young Min\n\nProcedures: Deep plane facelift, mid-face lift with fat graft, sub-brow lift, lower blepharoplasty\n\nReferral: I had been wanting to get this surgery for quite a long time, but didn't know which clinic would be best, so I applied to Bookimed who gave me several quotes/recommendations based on my needs.

This faster timeline is attributed to high-density centrifugation and stem cell enrichment, which accelerate the integration of the fat into facial tissues.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Patients emphasize the importance of the internal overcorrection phase, noting that the face may look excessively full for the first 2 weeks before settling into a natural, youthful contour by the third month.</p>","is_active":true,"category":{"id":"68f5f2ea1567cb687e0a7542","name":"faq_content","title":"faq_content"}},{"id":"69d393fbd7cf6e6ccc01e8b2","question":"What is the expected recovery timeline for facial fat transfer?","answer":"<p>Facial fat transfer recovery in South Korea typically follows a 7 to 14-day initial healing period, though final results stabilize after 3 to 6 months.

These methods achieve 60% to 80% retention by promoting angiogenesis and preventing fat necrosis through uniform distribution across 20+ tissue vectors.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Cell-assisted lipotransfer:</strong> Mixing concentrated adipose-derived stem cells with purified fat creates new blood vessels.</li> <li><strong>Nanofat processing:</strong> Emulsifying fat into particles under 1mm preserves regenerative cells for delicate areas.</li> <li><strong>Closed-system purification:</strong> Techniques like HarvestJet or 3,000 RPM centrifugation remove oil and blood impurities.</li> <li><strong>Micro-cannula injection:</strong> Surgeons use 27-30G needles to deliver tiny 0.01mL droplets, preventing clumping.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> While many global clinics use basic centrifuges, top Seoul facilities like HERSHE Plastic Surgery Korea utilize patented growth factor technology derived from a patient's own stem cells. This shift from simple fat moving to `regenerative grafting` explains why experienced surgeons like Dr. Jung Young Choon can achieve natural volume that lasts significantly longer than traditional methods.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Patients report that while initial swelling is significant, choosing thigh fat over abdominal fat results in a smoother texture.

In the Republic of Korea, specialists often use stem cell-enhanced techniques to improve the long-term survival of grafted tissue.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Donor availability:</strong> Must have harvestable fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.</li> <li><strong>Body composition:</strong> Patients with an average BMI between 20-25 typically provide higher quality fat.</li> <li><strong>Weight stability:</strong> Candidates should maintain a steady weight to prevent transferred cells from fluctuating.</li> <li><strong>Skin elasticity:</strong> Best for those with mild to moderate volume loss rather than severe sagging.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> While many clinics claim high survival rates, our data shows that 50-70% fat retention is the realistic standard. To counter this, top Seoul surgeons like Jung Young Choon at HERSHE Plastic Surgery use patented stem cell technology.
