FAQ on unsatisfactory surgeries | Korean Plastic Surgery Clinic | Forum

In my case its the original translator's fault - I think she only cared about making money for the clinic - and she injected her own opinions to my surgeries (both before and after) as if she was a doctor. After surgery She would not discuss the result said its too early but I knew something was wrong - cos the asymmetry was clear - it was not the swelling at all cos the incision shapes were completely different - she didn't allow me to discuss anything and treated me like a child - and she said she was SURE  its gonna be fine. Until I went to two revision experts who both independently said the incision were made too high - then she tried to postpone discussion until I pressed for it - they refused a refund but offered to fix the high incision for free - but other things like asymmetry and the Mongolian folds that appeared after the surgery (which was a crucial part to fix my eyes) I had to pay for - so I pretty much had to pay for the revision -  and this translator was still trying to push the original bad doctor on to me - said he will do the revision I was like are you an idiot?  this doctor obviously had really bad workmanship - didnt know about eyes - he was not a master surgeon like she said at all. He cut beyond my ocular cavity to extend the incision which a good eye surgeon would know not to do becos it does nothing to natural adhesion which is what give eye creases the natural look (Dr. Kwon the revision eye expert told me that) - this translator was just incredibly callous - an idiot and a terrible person.

then they send a different translator she was very sweet had medical experience and was very objective - she just translated and didn't give her opinion - when I asked questions she would tell me based on her experience (facts) with other patients. Then the communication got much better - After I fought for it - they finally assigned the most experienced eye doctor in the clinic and he said if he operate now there will be worst scars and waiting for six months would be much better - so I am waiting for six month right now for the final result - so far but it has been 7 weeks - my eyes are still noticeably asymmetrical - not much changed - I was right about the asymmetry all along.

RAD96 - I empathize with you and underneath my video there are a few links my friend posted which you can go to to complaint but the fact that your doctor did this horrible practice and you didn't even let us know who he was - that really did nothing for the community at all - you are not trying to help but just complaining -  Sorry to say. 

I think if people who got bad surgery they should post the name of the surgeon and the clinic so to keep these places in check so other people would not have to fall victim to negligence.

The point here is not obligatory but moral and practical - 

If you had read a bad review about this doctor you probably would not have gone there and therefore not had suffered and if he had known of a bad review about himself he probably will try to correct his mistake or at least not repeat it. That's HOW to help and HOW to make a difference.

I hope this is not too far beyond your capability of comprehension.

The name of the doctor usually comes up on internet search regardless of geographical location so it doesn't matter whether he's is a USA doctor or not. Some people in Texas may search for his name just to see his review and it may still show up and thereby - avoid a bad experience. But if you think it is irrelevant then it made your post even less helpful and effective then it originally was.

what you are doing is saying -  look! there are dangers of bad doctors out there (which we ALREADY ALL KNOW) but I am not gonna tell you who they are - and if you accidentally run into these bad doctors then too bad for you. 

I have no intention to make you reveal the docto'rs name - you are free to do as you please - I am merely expressing how unhelpful it is what you are doing and I am also pointing out that those who think other people deserve to be ill-treated actually deserve it themselves.

Once again - I hope you are capable of understanding the logic behind this discussion.

abby saadeh I do take your point that this is not a review thread to post about a specific clinic -  I will edit my post shortly and mention what to watch out for when having a translator at a Korean Clinic and within this post, I will post a link to direct people to my actual review about Grand Plastic Surgery on a more relevant thread so people can learn the facts of my bad experience as a case.
