Gynecomastia Gangnam-Gu

Highly recommended (Eyelid surgery and Fraxel laser skin treatment completed in May 2018). Pitangui was a 5-star experience! Dr. Yoo and his staff got the job done for my two procedures without any errors or issues. They are very experienced and professional. As a visitor from the US, it was also a seamless process, with Mandy (the company representative) and the nurses being English speaking. The clinic itself is a work of art, as designed by the masterful Dr. Yoo, and though my face is still healing, I'm so far happily pleased with the results!

The staff was kind. They picked me up at the airport. They assigned a charming wonderful English speaking girl to escort me the entire duration, she was incredibly useful because I can’t speak any Korean. Not only helpful and charming, but she was also very patient with my many questions. I had gynecomastia surgery and fat-dissolving injections in my stomach. The anaesthesia was good because it was sedation with local numbing. The doctor/surgeon had a friendly smile and listened to my requests well. I recommend this place. But I can’t comment on the results yet because I still have the padding on.

It’s fine. Just the injection of anesthesia was quite painful. Treatment was not painful at all because of the anesthesia. But my face was shallow after injection. Treatment was only 20 mins but took me more than 2 hours of waiting.

This review is for Dr Rhee and his astounding, very rare level of customer service. I've done a lot of surgery in Korea, and in many different clinics, so a word of advice: It's just as important to find someone who you think will do a good job, but has good post-op customer service. Because every clinic has beautiful pictures, but a lot of them turn you away if you're ever concerned or unhappy about the results. And sometimes, things can happen, even outside of your control. As for Dr Rhee, he is so awesome. I did my facelift, breast implants, liposuction, and calf reduction with him. When I was a new patient, he was so kind and attentive even though I had a lot of questions. He took the time to understand what I wanted (even more than most doctors), and he's also freaking hilarious, my goodness. Even while I was healing after surgery, I was in so much pain that when it was time to leave, I still felt too weak to move. So he let me stay 2 extra days in the hospital than normal. But all in all, my boobs looked great! However, after a month and the swelling started going down, I started noticing my breasts were a little uneven. And this is when I started freaking out. Because maybe the results were screwed up, and I'd have to live with it for the rest of my life. Like I mentioned, most clinics usually just brush you off even if you're unhappy with the result. Not to mention, you just threw away all this hard-earned money. I booked an appointment to see Dr Rhee for a follow-up, I was terrified that I'd walk into a room with an annoyed doctor, and he'd just tell me to "just massage it" and tell me to live with it because "breasts aren't perfect, to begin with." But this is where the magic happened. You know happened instead? I walk in and he's all super bubbly like he always is, even though I'm no longer a new client, and the first thing out of his mouth is: "Ah yes, I can see it's a little uneven. Yep, I can fix it." He offered a revision before I could even say anything! I can't tell you how rare that is. Again, I've done many many surgeries at about 10 different clinics total, so I probably have more experience with Korean clinics than most people. Dr Rhee then continued to spend a lot of time with me walking through all my concerns with my results and addressing them, and he kept saying "I can see why you'd feel that way." Very customer-centric, and addressed and without hesitation agreed to touch up everything I was dissatisfied with. And throughout all this, it wasn't an uncomfortable conversation. He was just as positive as he was when I was a new patient, so I didn't feel like they were only nice before they got my money (some clinics are like that.) He was kind throughout my whole appointment and even came back to see me again to make sure I felt happy with the other surgeries that the other doctors did. (Because he doesn't do facelifts.) All in all, really, really happy with Dr Rhee. I feel like he went above and beyond what is normal. Jiwon the translator was also very empathetic, and they lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. That's why I felt so compelled to write this review. Again, would highly recommend Grand and Dr Rhee! Because again, remember that all of the clinics and doctors in Korea can do great work, so what next? Look for someone who you can trust to do the job, but will also stand by it. If you're spending your hard-earned money on your body/face, it can be very heartbreaking to feel like a number, because the clinic doesn't care because they have a million other patients coming in after you. Whereas with Dr Rhee, never have I seen a doctor so warm and accommodating.

Gynecomastia (no liposuction only excision) paid £750 (Around 1,100,000 Korean won) - was successful. Went to Evita clinic and it was definitely the most welcoming and comfortable of all clinics I visited that day. Leading up to my appointment I had a large number of questions (I sent via email) and only Evita Clinic answered them all in great detail and the most swiftly. After my appointment, I literally booked and got the surgery the next morning. Tip: if you're going abroad for treatment, try to look somewhat native and speak the native language because then the clinics will not hugely overcharge you and will be more genuine. Also if you have true Gynecomastia, don't let anyone persuade you to just have liposuction, get the incision. I was very lean around 10% BF when I had the surgery - so I didn't need the lipo, lipo isn't necessary for everyone. Description of the post-op pain and the appearance of the nipple: The surgery was painful (not super painful, but still not as unpainful as everyone seems to say, was definitely in significant pain) the following 2 days after the surgery. Then it got a lot better, by the 14th day the pain was basically gone. My right nipple you can barely notice that I had surgery on it, my left you can if you look closely. The wound on my left nipple had reopened sometime between the 4th - 7th day of post-op (I'm writing this from 5 weeks post-op). Even after 5 weeks, if you press on the nipples there is definitely a slight pain, but after a few months, I'm sure this will disappear. I am very happy with the results, and can actually wear nice well-fitted t-shirts etc. and not feel embarrassed when taking my top off. ADVICE .*. Again, don't let the surgeon tell you that you don't need excision for true gynecomastia - one clinic I visited told me this (thank god I went to 5 other clinics and they all told me differently) .*. Try to not to look like a health tourist when visiting the clinics, they will probably charge you more. (Not actually sure how you would do this if you're not able to speak their language fluently, luckily I could) .*. This may apply only to excision and no liposuction surgery: - After surgery, try not to stretch the chest area at all/do any movements with the arms for around 5-7 days post op. (Especially the first 2-3 days barely move the arms at all). This will be very uncomfortable, but this is what caused my left wound to open, and now it has a much more visible scar than my right. I could only get into the low bar squat position with my shoulders 14 days post op because it would stretch my chest too much. .*. Exercise the chest area once you feel comfortable doing so, this will help the nipple look better (and may reduce dimpling if this occurs). Gynecomastia - only excision, no liposuction for around £750 (1,100,000 won) - was very successful. The surgeon was the most genuine out of all the ones we visited in Seoul, and gave the lowest price by far. We visited 5 different places that day and Evita clinic was definitely the most welcoming and comfortable of them all. Leading up to my appointment I had a large number of questions (I sent via email) and only Evita Clinic answered them all in great detail and the most swiftly. After my appointment I literally booked and got the surgery the next morning. After the surgery, I continued to have many queries and they were answered similarly quickly and in detail. 5 weeks post op and you can barely notice any scarring. Very happy with the results. Other clinics said I would need liposuction too (one even said I'd only need liposuction), but I'm glad I chose Evita, they knew what they were doing, and after doing some research found that this is the best way for the glandular removal for someone with little body fat.

I had a mid-facelift to address my sagging cheek area that made me look tired and much older than I felt. Dr. Lee did an excellent job, and I am very pleased with the results. It's only two weeks post-surgery, but apart from the incisions, which need more time to heal, I look refreshed and alert. I understand he is the anti-ageing expert surgeon, and it shows. I am very happy with it. He also spends time consulting (although his assistant, Ingrid, had to interpret). I also did a mouth corner lift and paranasal augmentation to remove my nasal labia folds and to lift the corners of my mouth. Again, I am very pleased with the results done by Dr. Park. Many people complain that the indent of the silicon from the parallel nasal implants can be seen when they smile, but this is not true with Dr. Park's work. My jowls are gone, and I have a slightly upturned mouth corner that makes me look "friendlier". Great job, and very worth the money! Ingrid, the English interpreter, was wonderful. She is an asset to Izien Clinic. She is patient, very helpful, and made my visit very pleasant and comfortable. To ensure I did not have trouble communicating, she was always by my side from the moment I entered the clinic to getting a cab for me and making sure the cab driver knows where I am going. It made my experience very memorable, and I am very grateful. The two surgeons were amazing. They took the time to discuss my concerns and desired outcome; they gave me options and suggestions and were not pushy to do unnecessary procedures. I had my stitches removed when I returned to my own country, and the doctor commented that the Izien doctors did a great job with their refined stitching. Good results and the fast healing is attributed to the surgeons' skills. Definitely worth the trip to Seoul!
