My friend recently had Endoscopic Surgery at BION Plastic Surgery in Seoul and overall her experience was pretty positive
One thing that stood out was how much attention they gave to consultation and planning before the actual procedure. She spent quite a bit of time discussing her concerns and what kind of result she was hoping for with Dr Hwang Gwi hwan. She did not want an overly noticeable change and mainly wanted an improvement that would still look natural with her existing facial features
The recovery period was probably the most challenging part for her. The swelling during the early stage made it difficult to understand what the final result would look like and she had a few moments when she started worrying that she had made the wrong decision. After a while she understood that the early appearance was not something she could use to judge the outcome and that giving the area enough time to heal was really important
Another thing she appreciated was that the overall process at BION Plastic Surgery felt organized. She knew what to expect before the procedure and received guidance during the recovery period as well. Since she was traveling to Seoul for surgery she also realized that there are quite a few practical things to think about besides the procedure itself. Staying nearby for follow up appointments having enough recovery time and making arrangements for transportation can make the experience much easier
From what I saw during her recovery the changes gradually became more natural as the swelling went down. Her face looked refreshed and more balanced without giving the impression that she had completely changed her appearance. I think that was the result she was hoping for because she wanted an improvement that would fit her face rather than something dramatic
Her experience also made me realize that people researching Endoscopic Surgery should probably spend time understanding the surgeon and the treatment approach instead of focusing only on before and after pictures. Every person has different facial features and healing can also be different so having a clear discussion about expectations seems really important before making a decision
Has anyone else here had Endoscopic Surgery in South Korea? I would be interested in hearing about your experience with the consultation recovery and follow up process
