Mini Facelift South Korea

I am an American born Korean, 40 years old F. I travelled to Korea with my mom to get a "mini" facelift and thread lift combo while my mom got a full facelift and fat grafting with Dr. Park at FacePlus Plastic Surgery. I've had a lot of procedures done in the past at other clinics (some in Korea, some in the US), including an endotine forehead lift, upper bleph, rhinoplasty, and thread lifting and my experience with Dr. Park is BY FAR the smoothest and easiest process I've been through. The procedure was completely painless and though I had mentally prepared for a lot of bruising and swelling based on previous work, I experienced NONE with this mini lift (very minimal swelling with my mom). I was shocked at how easy the recovery was!! Honestly, I believe it was due to Dr. Park's careful and gentle treatment. The clinic staff was very helpful and thorough in taking care of us. We even had an English/Korean translator but we didn't need her services since we understand and speak Korean fluently but it was appreciated. As you can see from the photos (first being literally hours after the procedure) to Day 14 (today) post op, there is minimal scarring which is carefully placed within the hairline and almost undetectable once the hair grows out. The subtle lifting of the jowls and tightening of the jawline is exactly what I was going for so I am very pleased with the outcome and the 5-7 years this lift has bought me. I would highly recommend FacePlus and Dr. Park to anyone considering a facelift of any kind.

My surgery experience. I travelled to South Korea last year I have had multiple surgeries in multiple countries all over the world. I saw a documentary on surgery in South Korea and it said that South Korea is the cosmetic surgery capital of the world. I looked into it and spoke in depth via email every question I had was answered they were really good. I decided to go ahead and book. I think I will start with the bad as I would like to end on a positive note. First of all, they don’t include accommodation with their price which I find strange and something they should maybe look at providing as a package. I have not been offered this option it’s scary going to a foreign country especially a part where English isn’t freely spoken. I found somewhere to stay myself which was nice and had local shops etc which is what I needed. The second thing they do not provide transfers in between hospital visits I found this totally bizarre. This meant every time I needed to get there I had to go through an ordeal of flagging down a cab which was a nightmare I would get in show them the address which was written in Korean May I add. And they would act like they have no clue what I’m talking about. They told me to get out this happened a lot it was so frustrating. Leaving my appointments generally, the girl who was looking after me would call me a cab and I would leave in that which was better however sometimes they couldn’t and I would have to flag a cab it was cold too and one day I was outside over an hour trying to get home it was awful. The day after my surgery I was bandaged etc (I have swollen to high heaven black eyes swollen face everything) I was just told to leave literally ushered out of the door. And they locked up as it was closed as it was the weekend. I was wondering the streets just out of surgery unwell cold and scared trying to get a cab they just wouldn’t take me. It took me a long long time wondering before I finally got a cab it was so awful so yes transfers would be better. Especially when someone is travelling alone. Anyway although there were some bad moments these were far outweighed by my results The front of house staff is really nice and always happy to see you. I was seen by several consultants and surgeons as I was having multiple surgeries Fat transfer to cheeks under eyes temples, Double eyelid surgery, Rhinoplasty and Dimple creation surgery. I've already had rhinoplasty 4 times and never been happy with it. I love my new nose it is beautiful. I love the results of all the surgeries performed. I feel and look amazing. I cannot express how amazing I feel the results are exactly how I wanted them to be. I am having more surgery this year if it wasn’t so far to travel I definitely would be going back to South Korea but for what I’m having it really isn’t feasible. I really cannot thank all the surgeons enough for the work they have done. All I would say is if you’re coming from a different country don’t go alone and make sure you stay close to the hospital. Thank you.
