A Day in Life of Top Korean Plastic Surgeon In Gangnam 

Thank you so much for sharing this vlog! Much appreciated!

Hi how much is anti aging surgery and do u guys do kerato pigmentation in seoul

OMG plastic surgery origin from india

Why so many not Koreans? And he don’t take lunch????

@@victorvictor4235because plastic surgeries are much more affordable and the surgeons are very skilled & experienced in Korea, they attract a lot of international clients with the concierge service

@@victorvictor4235 he took his lunch at 4pm. I think people go to korea because its known for plastic surgery and also its relatively cheap. Friend's sister got double eyelid done and it costed her like $900 cad

I thought he was a vag*na surgeon 😂

@@victorvictor4235 He's affiliated with medical tourism if you see the plaque in the beginning. And since this is content for international audiences, of course they would choose internation customer for demonstration.

I had rhinoplasty and chin implant surgeries 3 years ago. Honestly I thought it would really boost my confidence, but now I still feel similar or maybe even less confident as I still want to further improve my looks. 😞

@@wn17777 It was really brave of you to share that. Knowing your problem is the first step towards solution, hope you will find your confidence soon. I used to have issues with self esteem too. But I've been feeling better since I started therapy. I still avoid attending events with a lot of people, but it's not that bad ☺️

@@wn17777I’m a guy with quite a big nose and yes even I don’t really like it😅, but the good side though is that I have quite thick and defined eyebrows and eyelashes, and it may look feminine but who cares I think I look great with them. So yea the bad sides and good sides about my face tends to even out in that case. I think we all have the good side and bad side about our looks and so shouldn’t really be ashamed of them

​@@ABAddonfromHeLLbig noses are beautiful! I don't understand why people want to change them. And I know a lot of people that like big noses.

@@karines1856South Korea is plastic surgery country

Why everything need to go viral with you people! You see it be grateful and move on knowledge its for everybody

@@sarahrean7174 agreed, knowledge IS for everyone, that’s why it should go viral, so more people can learn. What you on 🤣

@@lysuenn the dude is definitely smoking something

​@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 all the best for your recovery and future surgery x

I mean, not everybody is interested in these things u know....just saying, from a medical student...for people like me, these docs are my mentors... but not for others

its still a bunch of sad people that need the surgeries because they care way too much about the rest of the world opinion, no matter how much the industry tries to normalise it

Agree

Lies again? Plastic Surgery Botox Suntik

@@Random17Game While I agree with your sentiment, shouldn't you also not care what they do as much as it sounds after all it sounds like you care too much what they do with their own lives.

@@Gorilla2412 if he cared he would do something hes just pointing out the reality. People try too much to fit in and will do anything to feel accepted and sought after.

"eye opening" .... no pun intended

what were this nurse arguments? I am asking for a friend =)

@@gogoromeo You can change your body all you want, but at the end of the day your insecurity will remain. Better to tackle your mind set first.

If the nurse is that naturally beautiful than obviously there would be no extrinsic motivation to do plastic surgery lmao

by the way, Kim Da Mi is not pretty imho. She is only pretty because of her character in the drama.

Your sister wants to be look like a clown maybe because shes not content about her looks

South Koreans uphold professionalism above basically everything. I respect them and would gladly go to a hospital there if needed :)

Im so glad to hear that, if you don't mind can you name drop the clinic?

That blond girl that got injected with fat, how long does it stay? 1 year?

You did with the same doctor?

@daisyy9422 - can you tell me which clinic did you go to and the name of the doctor? It’s good to have a recommendation of somebody who is happy with the results. What was the cost of the procedures you’ve done, if you don’t mind?

It also depends on the salary dude , if the guy or girl isnt paid properly then they become irritated

I think it's fine if people are honest aka all the kpop places that lie that none of their idols get surgeries when they do. It creates body dismophia for your audience

And he takes the subway. What an unassuming guy! 😄

@@thequaintguardianthat’s common in Korea though

"Nice dude"? People who have nothing going for them who judge others for whether they are "nice" or not. The irony.

@@edenassos huh?

@@edenassos you make no sense

Was it difficult to find a good clinic? And to communicate your wishes to the surgeon? Did you have to stay long for recovery? Or fly back for aftercare?

​@@Dee8BeeWell..I contacted an agency who specialized in that. They arranged EVERYTHING, from picking me up at the airport, taking me to see several surgeons from several clinics, providing translation, taking care of me after the surgery etc etc. I spent around 2 weeks in Seoul for recovery and after surgery check.

@@azabujuban-hito8085 Amazing! Thank you for taking the time and effort to respond to my comment.

That sounds amazing! Do you mind sharing the name of the agency?

@@milkyway4231 docfinderkorea

Yes, same here.

same in my country. Plus they ask you to get some blood work and analysis to see if you’re in good health to undergo anesthesia and surgery. My mom got plastic surgery to get rid of her eyebags and she had to wait like a week to get the approval.

I would think they had some sort of real consultation at an earlier time but showed this same day consult/surgery to shorten the video. But maybe not. Wish they showed all the results somehow.

​@@Swizzenatorthe results requite healing, which could take weeks or months, and even some follow-up surgery. I would assume that they have had pre-consultation and lab work done beforehand.

I understand the confusion. This is the second or third consultation for the patients who get treated right afterwards. There is a lot that isn't shown. Patients need to do scans, blood work, test like blood pressure as well. And then clean their face and mouth with specific pre-surgery cleansers. They also are not allowed to eat or drink anything before surgery. If the blood work reveals that you have low iron levels they will cancel everything and they will reschedule for 3 months later which gives you time to get your blood iron up.

Not korea only the south plus USA its wayy before them they just don't admit it

Actually the people who does the most plastic surgery is USA and Brazil. This guy would be like a divine saviour for em Americans and Brazilians😂. Just look over here as well we see many of them are non-Koreans

@@sarahrean7174south Korea is way more than USA

@@sarahrean7174plastic surgery is way more common in South Korean than America tho.

​@@moon_0207no, its not, its more common in america, that too from head to toe, atleast koreans just stick to eye surgery.

I remember reading an article written by a sculptor here in the UK. She was once asked to do a bronze bust of a woman who had undergone cosmetic surgery. The sculptor said that it was a totally thankless task and that she would never agree to do it again. She explained that, after surgery, the muscles and tendons - and sometimes bones - are displaced and it is very difficult to get a good likeness without it looking totally weird.

​@@seaglass22 Can you please tell me how to find this article? I would like to know more about this story.

what type of complications?

Life is not once.

@@vgplusjr6923 good

Still fact that plastic surgery is faking own face & lie to the people.

Most of them are Indian. They community is definitely aggressive in online.

한국은 인구 중 성형 받은 비율이 세계 최고야. 성형 받는 사람 수는 당연히 우리보다 인구가 많은 나라가 많지. 지잡 국뽕들은 절대 인정을 안해. 너희 집에 성형한 여자가 한명도 없다면 시궁창 집구석이다. 🤣

19:02 is post surgery with bandages but you get the idea

obviously do read up on this more.... BUT a big advantage of fat repositioning is that the chance of a foreign body reaction is next to none. also all these hyaluronic acid fillers are supposed to dissolve throughout time by themselves, but recent research shows that it's often simply not the case, that the HA filler just migrates further into muscles etc. that's also why it's brilliant that he's using ear cartilage as a nose filler, too, the foreign body reaction is incomparably less likely compared to using foreign materials like many doctors do. even if the bioacceptability of a material is high, using tissue from our own body still remains the safest by far. foreign body reactions suck. (i went through it as well with an implant that is supposedly super safe and had been used since decades... i nearly died. google breast implant illness.)

@@yooeinwhat happened w the breast implant illness? ive thought abt getting them but kinda scared

Absolutely- especially after someone has had a mastectomy due to cancer, plastic surgery can be so helpful for people to gain self confidence/esteem after such a terrible ordeal.

Only if the surgery goes well which isn't 100% guaranteed

assuming there are no complications lol

it'll probably ztill be cheaper, and you get to travel. but you'd probably have to get a really good tranzlator coz communication iz vital with theze kindz of thingz

@@neihomai8 What do you have against the letter "s" man?

i have nothing againzt it, but the key on my keyboard iz broken. my laptop iz over 14 yearz old lol @@JRspeaking

@@JRspeaking😂

And almost every Koreans had plastic surgeries. It's crazy

🙏🙏🙏

They have a RU-vid channel called "Sketch plastic surgery", There is the result

@@annlee5034thanks

They showed the woman in the end, when the doctor was interviewed.

Surgery should be the last place you go if you have insecurities

I even once heard in an interview with a plastic surgeon that they should discourage the person of actually getting the procedure and even make sure the person is emotionally stable. It's been a long time so I might be wrong or outdated.

Depends on what the surgery is.

It’s not fast. The guy said they do a lot of the preparation beforehand so that the in-person consultation with the doctor is more like a formality before the actual procedure

@@davidsalterego4481 Makes sense.

Prep work or not, its like the first time they see the doctor, they decide on permanent stuff after few minutes of explanation and then into surgery minutes later. If it was just a formality, they would not need to be explained all that stuff or decide what size or shape etc. how can you make such a permanent life altering decision on the same day, let alone in minutes? Most people take longer to pick out clothing then they do to pick what implant size or procedure they want.

What if you get them reduced?

@@fonzoNmeReduction is different, it’s corrective. As someone who developed DD at age 10, it kills your back. I have permanent spinal issues. Getting implants is cosmetic, and it can be corrective, but it’s very different from a reduction.

Me too and my late parents always told me that unless you look beyond bad then maybe consider plastic surgery. Otherwise, be happy with what you have since plastic surgery will affect your looks and health as you get a lot older.

@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 wanted to know if it had any health implications as a friend is considering it

Some of my cousins and aunt got breast implants but I don’t know if they regret it yet.

at 12:50 the guy explains that they do a lot of the prep work freeing up the surgeon themselves to focus on the last consultations and the surgery itself.

South Korea is on top when it comes to plastic surgery, so probably not

What ? A tooth removed it's one appointment where ro you live ? I am French by the way

​@@annaairahala9462watch the video again

its because of the guides i think, they are licensed by the gov and it seems like the patients know all they need to know abt the surgery before meeting the doc

It only happen in Korea, not in your country..so be careful

If i knew how much the doctor worked i would be scared before the surgery, you wouldn't want someone who is sleep deprived/ tired and overworked working on your body. I hope he gets paid well for how much he works cause 6 days of this is crazy

You clearly have no idea how hard physicians work

Its criminal how they abuse their medical students then residents and then their doctors. If it's up to me there will be an overhaul from the ground up.

Wtf? They are even more overworked than sales specialists online. They can work up to 60 hours per week.

@@ABAddonfromHeLL This over worked doctor is performing surgeries on people though. Correct me if im wrong but physicians dont do surgery. I work 2 jobs over 60 hours at times but my job wont kill a person. I'd definitely want a well rested doctor for a surgery.

Like Son Heung min put the mic down on the table after his interview if you know the video

Korean’s in general are really materialistic and superficial - That really is a big reason why they are the global leader in plastic surgery - I was reading that 1 in 3 Korean women have had plastic surgery

Just make plastic surgery illegal, problem solved

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why not both? Just cause someone values external beauty doesn't mean they exclusively do.

It's not that simple. What we think about ourselves doesn't change the fact that we live in such a society. Even if we were to remove any conscious judgement based on appearances, it doesn't change the fact that people with "better looks" based on societal standards are awarded more opportunities and higher standings.

And then we all die.

Asians usually look younger than their age hahahaha

Some Chinese people want an obvious result cuz getting plastic surgery means richness to them!!😂

I agree. But I guess our doctor over here needs some money as well😂

Agreed. The fact that somebody doesn't like you for your looks tells you more about them than it does about you.

@@ABAddonfromHeLL There are other uses for plastic 😂, and how much money does he need?

Very valid opinion

Get this overused superficial rainbows and sunshine BS outta here LMFAO. Wake up to reality - ugly people have less quality of life than average to above average looks.

depends on the profession and person. Go find a typical korean mom/grandma from the countryside and see how quiet they are lol

Touch grass

its worth the risk of destroying your eyesight to become a fraction of a percent more beautiful

I have read of some models who used hemorrhoid creams on their eye bags . After all its function is to reduce swelling . You can do some research and see if it’s viable . Good luck 🤞

@@bakkwa8705 thank you so much for your kind reply, and I actually have lots of hemorrhoid creams, because I also suffer from hemorrhoids,😅😅😅. I am not sure I am courageous enough to put hemorrhoid cream on my eye bags,nevertheless,thank you so much for your kind suggestions.

lol @@TheLowman9

Yeah even in cafes it's a common sight

Those are tourists who are in a hurry to explore Seoul with their limited vacation days, without having to wait until their recovery is complete.

@@jalfredprufrock620 They also tell you to walk every day to reduce swelling. The tourists just walk around Seoul for that reason. Medical tourism is also often combined with sightseeing, and you might get a guide for one day from the government medical tourism agency.
