Success Stories

Hi everyone, I am excited to be sharing my experience at BRAUN Plastic Surgery in Seoul, Korea. I hope this is helpful for all of you interested in getting surgery here.

Background: I had my heart set on Braun after watching their plastic surgery vlogs on YouTube and being really impressed by how amazing the results were. I have also heard many positive things about Braun in this forum and since they are very popular (especially with locals), I chose to schedule my consultation and surgery slot way beforehand.

Consultation: The overall atmosphere of the clinic was very neat and spacious and the staff members were all super polite and helpful. There were some local Koreans waiting in the lobby when I arrived since it was the peak season for surgery. The wait time was actually much shorter than I expected. First, we did the CT scans and bloodwork to make sure I was healthy. I felt so grateful to Jennifer, who is the English consultant at Braun. She is seriously one of the sweetest, most considerate people I have ever met. She is the one who guided me through everything and helped translate for me during the consultation. My main areas of concern for surgery were my eyes, nose, and face shape. I wanted a dramatic change to my appearance and a more dolly style (but still have an overall natural look, not too overdone). I had prepared some reference photos in advance to show the doctors.

The doctors I met with carefully listened to my concerns and patiently answered all of my questions even though I had so many. I really appreciated that they understood my aesthetic goals but also considered what would work well with my natural features. I could see that the doctors at Braun are both incredibly skilled and have vast experience. They also are respectful and kind which made me feel at ease in our discussions. It was clear to me that the doctors do not use a cookie-cutter method for surgery; instead, they are thoughtful and caring towards each patient and offer a personalized approach. After consultation, I felt confident that I would get my ideal results at Braun :) 

 

DAY 2 POST-OP: On the second day post-op, I went back to the clinic for deswelling treatments which helped my skin a lot and also had my hair washed which felt amazing. The nurse also changed the face wraps to a compression band and Jennifer helped me buy some porridge, toothbrush, and Tylenol which was so nice of her before I returned to the hotel to rest. I am diligently following all the post-op care, including applying ointment at least 3 times a day, gurgling with mouth wash every 2 hours and brushing my teeth after I eat, drinking lots of water, eating as much porridge as I can, and taking my medicine pills 3 times a day.

 

DAY 7 POST-OP: I went to the clinic for a check-up with my facial contouring doctor today and he confirmed that I am recovering very well which is great news. By now I feel pretty much back to normal in terms of my energy and appetite. I did another laser treatment at the clinic which was heated this time and it helped my face de-swell so much. Everyone at Braun is always so friendly and makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed each time I’m there which I really appreciate. I can't wait to see how my face looks as I recover some more.

 

1 month update: I wanted to do another update on how my recovery is going at 1 month post-op. The swelling in my face has gone down a lot, especially around my cheekbone area which was super puffy right after surgery. I can already see the v-line shape that I wanted which makes me so excited  I still feel some numbness in my chin and in my lower lip but it is definitely improving over time. The eyelids are still a little bit uneven due to swelling but already my eyes look so much bigger. I'm glad to have gotten the ptosis correction since I used to have a sleepy kind of look when I opened my eyes, but now they are looking a lot brighter than before. My nose shape is becoming more defined as the swelling around the nose bridge is going down and I have a nice S shape curve from the side profile view now.

Overall, I am so happy that I got my surgeries done at Braun and I am incredibly grateful to the amazing doctors at Braun Plastic Surgery, who are so skilled and able to give me exactly the look that I wanted (dolly style but not overly fake). I am also very thankful for Jennifer, the English consultant who made my entire surgery experience go so smoothly and helped me so much throughout my recovery  Even now, when I am back in my home country, Jennifer is always so kind and thoughtful in responding to my messages and answering any questions I have about the recovery process. I can tell that Braun is a clinic that truly cares about their patients and provides great post-op care.

it has now been 6 months since my surgeries. I am extremely happy with the results and would like to do another update to let you guys know how everything has been healing  The swelling in my face is pretty much all gone by now and I am super impressed with how slim and small my face is. I now have the pretty v-line face shape that I always wanted! I don't have any visible scars which makes me really glad and my results looks so natural & beautiful. My nose swelling has also gone down, making the nose bridge look more defined and I can see I have the gorgeous dolly nose shape just like I wanted. Now that my double eyelids are healed, there are no scars on my eyelids which I am very happy about. It is so much easier to do my makeup with even eyelids and even without makeup now, my eyes look so much bigger and brighter than before! Many of my friends and family members commented that I got so much prettier since they last saw me or I look like I lost weight, but nobody can pinpoint exactly why I look so much prettier nor did anyone realize I got surgery. It just goes to show how skilled the doctors at Braun are, making the results so natural and subtle yet beautiful and dolly like I wanted. I am deeply grateful to my doctors, nurses, and English translator Jennifer at Braun for my incredible experience and outcome! I am so much more confident now and could not be more happy that I chose to go to Braun clinic for my surgeries
