Fat Transfer Gangnam-Gu

I am an older white male from the UK. I selected Pitangui like most overseas visitors from internet reviews. The web site, the reviews and the experience of Dr Yoo over the years of this clinic shine through. He has an outstanding reputation and I am more than happy with the surgery, the pain management and the clear explanations. I underwent Upper and Lower blepharoplasty plus eye bag repositioning (removal of fat deposits etc). My fellow traveller, a lady of fewer years underwent the same and she is equally impressed with the result. Dr Yoo has an excellent staff around him who not only have sound and commendable medical procedures but also reduce the hassle of the whole visit; taxis, accommodation, airports etc. Pitangui is neither a ‘sausage factory or an impersonal clinic. It is friendly, approachable and totally honest, Ther is no ‘hard sell’ or attempt to push further procedures. In a Korean domestic market reportedly approaching saturation point, such excellent staff as Sarah who offers clear and practical solutions to the problems clarifies charges and irons out the wrinkles in one's journey mean it is a pleasure to come under Dr Yoo’s organisation. Sarah is extremely good at her job. She is helpful, kind and no problem is too difficult for her. Without her fine language skills, directions and support, the journey through Seoul would have been far more difficult. She reaches out to the customers frequently and effectively. Assisted by Debora, Sarah runs the team of ‘angels’ that are the face of Pitangui. In summary, Dr Yoo is an outstanding surgeon who has gathered a most effective team around him. His work is excellent but it is the support team that move this clinic up to be without doubt one of the best.

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.

I had a revision rhinoplasty because a year ago I had my nose done in another clinic in Seoul and the results were disappointing. My nose looked better before I had the surgery. The nose tip was round and fat, and my nose bridge was not straight. It dipped in the middle, leaving me with a very pug nose look. I appreciate being told what is possible and what is not possible and not being given empty promises. The doctors gave me a very realistic expectation and were not pushy, nor did they try to upsell me more services. This was my second visit to Izien. The clinic was beautiful and the staff were professional. Their English consultant, Ingrid, was excellent, and even helped with my transport arrangements and sightseeing.

I underwent an upper blepharoplasty in June 2017. I am very pleased with the result, the incision line has now completely disappeared. The result looks natural. The surgeon's work is excellent. Thanks a lot.
