Hello, regular people ♡ I think this is my first time writing a review on a bulletin board.
Originally I was looking into nose jobs, but human greed is endless, so I started looking into eyes and then armpits.
Here are reviews of 5 hospitals where I've had foot surgery since November!
To get to the point, I decided to get it done at ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ. But since I'm a college student and I'm paying for it myself.. I think I'll save more money and get the surgery done in February. I might change my mind then. If that happens, I'll edit the post.
0. Before we go, my information..?
- Specs: 165/55
- Special notes: I originally weighed between 57 and 60, but my weight ballooned to the early 70s. This summer, I'm going to lose weight through diet alone.. Since I like a skinny body, my goal is to lose 47 kg through exercise + diet.
- I have a lot of fat on my upper arms, and the back of my upper arms...? I lost 1n kg, but my upper arms are the same.
- My skin elasticity isn't that good for someone in my early 20s
. - My trapezius muscles are severe, but they're not fat, they're pure muscle.
- Body fat percentage 30.. I've lived a life far from exercising.
- Needs: Even if it was a bit expensive, I wanted to save up more money and get it done at a place that would give me the body line I want. If the body line wasn't pretty, I wouldn't have gone for a consultation.
- I have a big bust, so I wanted to make my strengths stand out by making my arms bony.
- Reason for deciding to get liposuction: I was browsing an app and happened to come across a review that I really liked, so I looked it up.
- I value the results of the surgery more than the aftercare! They say aftercare is important with liposuction, but that's just my personality! So I forgot the ones that weren't written down after the fact. ㅎ
1. PTTㅇㅇ (220/270 if you add floating breasts, 120,000 won compression garment is required)
The first place I went for a consultation!! I had an appointment but it was canceled, so I called and made a reservation for the same-day consultation
. *The hospital atmosphere was good and the staff were friendly. After changing into a skirt + gown + slippers, InBody measurement, and pictures were taken.
*Director consultation: First, they asked me what I was worried about, so I said my arms. After asking for my understanding, they felt my arms and said that I had a lot to lose because I was fat. The ㅂㅂㅌ event is 550,000 won. *It's an area, but removing it all will make your line look pretty. Since you don't have that much floating breasts, it's optional, but I recommend doing it. (It will be annoying when you wear a swimsuit or tank top in the summer, but if you remove it, it might look a bit wrinkled..)
*Director consultation: They said to clench my fist and put all my strength into my arms and lose as much fat as I can feel. For now, it's better to diet after liposuction. There are four holes, two on each arm. They said that it is impossible to have bony arms, but it has to be born that way. But I got the same answer in the app review (based on my standards), and I wondered if they were telling me safely because I saw reviews of bony arms. I said I didn't know because it was my first consultation, but they said that our hospital might be the best hospital for me or not, so I should look into it, so I thought they were conscientious.
*Director's re-consultation: There were no uncomfortable recommendations. Aftercare was 1 session of Inmode. I don't have much elasticity, but since I'm young, do I really need additional care..?
*What I felt: First of all, the hospital atmosphere + the director were really nice! I really liked the lines and the price felt just right. But after the consultation, they didn't analyze my arms in detail while looking at the mirror, and I felt like they would just take care of all the parts and remove them. I like when I get a consultation, they analyze my condition and make a plan on how to meet my needs + I wasn't that attracted to them, so I passed,,, The lines are really pretty here too.. It feels like a straight arm!
2. ㅇㅈㄹㅇ (140) - Only the director consultation
It wasn't on the list when I was selling my hands, but I heard it was cheap + I went because I had time left between consultations
. Here, there is no designated director and only the director consultation. As I wrote above, I value analyzing my condition, so the fact that there was no director consultation was enough to out me.. (I knew this when I went there.) They don't do Inbody analysis either. They said that my arm line would come out well because I have fat, and the price was definitely cheap. I definitely recommend the armpits. I was wondering whether to get floating breasts or not, and my bust is a bit sagging, but they said that if you get floating breasts, the line will be organized and it will be a bit uplifting..? They said that it would have an effect. (So I decided to get floating breasts even if I didn't get it done here.) This
place uniquely charges a separate fee for general anesthesia. Basic arm 70 + armpit 50 + general anesthesia fee 20 = 140. I think they'll give you a discount if you make a reservation on the same day, but I didn't want to do it here, so I said I wasn't sure and just left.
They organize the area and estimate through KakaoTalk and send it right away.
But after the consultation, a week later, they asked if I still had concerns and said they would give me a discount if I matched the date. People who are planning to go here should negotiate the price with the director.
3. ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ (armpits + floating breasts 385 / back convexity added 418 / total shoulder blades 484)
Actually, this was the hospital I liked the most because it was famous for its arms.. I heard it was a bit expensive and went there.. The facilities were clean and the staff were all kind.
The wait was about 10 minutes..? There was almost no wait. After changing into a skirt + gown, I got my height and InBody measured
. *Director consultation: I asked what I was concerned about and looked in the mirror with the director. First, floating breasts are definitely recommended, and back convexity and shoulder blades are also recommended.
*Director consultation: First, the director consultation.. was the kindest of all the plastic surgery consultations I've ever been to. It took exactly 20 minutes from the time the director came in until the time he left..
- InBody analysis: The InBody analysis was done very thoroughly. After checking my body fat percentage, he said that I was on the slim side overall. The director asked me if I exercised a lot^^.. It was true, so I had nothing to say.. Anyway, he explained the general principles of liposuction after looking at the InBody. It's not just about extracting fat, but about creating pretty lines -> The structure of the arm is subcutaneous fat and muscle, so you have to remove as much subcutaneous fat as possible while leaving the muscles intact, but leave a certain amount to create straight arms. He explained it to me in general terms. And even if I told him not to, he said he would remove it thinly but within a safe range.
- Ultrasound: Then he applied ultrasound gel and measured the thickness of the fat. Usually, the effect is dramatic when 1 cm is used, but mine is 0.8~9 cm, so he said that I can expect the effect. After analyzing it in detail with the ultrasound, I wiped off the gel and went in front of the mirror to take off my gown.
- Arm analysis: He analyzed my arm in detail. If I write everything down, it will be too long, but since it's about my arm, I'll write briefly! In order to get pretty arms, she analyzed each part of my arm (mastalgia/clavicle/trapezius/armpit, etc.) in detail. She roughly showed me the line to make it this much if I put on weight. (Like dividing the nose, bridge, columella, and angle of the nose..!) She recommended a convex back, but she said it wasn't necessary to go all the way to the shoulder blades considering the cost-effectiveness.
- And she finished by asking if I had any additional questions. Honestly, the director explained everything to me, so I didn't have any questions.
*Post-consultation with the director: I went through an acquaintance, and of course, she guided me to pay a deposit, but honestly, I planned to pay a deposit, so I even set a date. 100% refund up to a week before!! Since it's a fixed-price system, there aren't many discounts. Compression garments are required, and I came to check the sizes, and when I paid the deposit, she wrote the area, surgery date, and payment amount on a business card. The director was so kind that I liked him! I got two estimates depending on whether or not I had the surgery option, but I was confused so I asked via KakaoTalk and even though it was right after work, they answered me in detail and kindly
. But
it was so expensive
..
I feel like I only wrote good things, but it's definitely not ㅂㄹㅋ The downside is that it's expensive and there's some talk that they won't remove as much floating breasts.. I don't need all that, so just the price..
4. ㅃㄴㄱㅃ Female director (under the estimate)
Actually, this is the place that made me decide to get my arms done..ㅎㅎ I went after seeing the female director's reviews and also watched all the YouTube videos. He's a big YouTuber..? The male director is really good at everything from shorts to slick backs.
I made a reservation and went, but when I actually got there, they asked if there was a director I wanted to consult with. It seems like I can just go to the hospital and choose.
I compared it a bit after going to ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ, but they looked at me in much more detail than other places.
*Director consultation (Here, they do a director consultation before the actual consultation!)
- InBody analysis: After a brief InBody analysis, they talked about the conditions I need to have to make pretty arms. The three factors for successful liposuction are the amount of fat, how nicely the muscles and bones underneath the fat are removed, and skin elasticity. My skin elasticity is a bit lacking, but the other two are fine.
- Ultrasound: She said that more than 1 cm can have a dramatic effect, and that my arms would see the most effects. I wiped off the ultrasound gel and stood in the mirror.
- Arm analysis: She analyzed my upper/lower arm, front/back of my upper arm in detail, and said that she would also remove my armpits. It wasn't as much as ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ, but she looked at them very carefully.
- Back: She actually recommends my back more than my arms. She said that if you really want to look slimmer, it would be more effective to get it done up to my shoulder blades.
Then she took a picture of my arms and back without showing my face and roughly drew this line on a tablet to show me. Since I couldn't see my back, she analyzed it in detail using a picture.
- Effects: First of all, the director said that I was a typical case of bony arms like those in ㅂㅂㅌ reviews, even though I didn't ask. He said that he tends to be honest because it's difficult for the doctor if the consultation expectations are too high. (But it really seems like that's true. I'm good at judging people's personalities. It's more subtle than what I see on YouTube..!) I suddenly felt good when he said 'typical bony arms' haha
*Director's consultation: The director's consultation was the most detailed among all the hospitals I've been to.
- Among the cases similar to mine, he showed me cases with only an arm, cases with added back convexity, and cases with added shoulder blades all separately. And check the effect while looking in the mirror with the director, but it would be difficult for the director to do extreme bony arms.. but the director's eyes would be more accurate..
- We received separate estimates, and uniquely, there is no separate review discount here. (I don't know why there are only a few reviews) It was also unique that there was a cash discount.
Arm (arm + thigh + shoulder) 230 / convex back 50 / scapula (including convex back) 100
Cash price 210 / 45 / 90
Compression garment 120,000 won including VAT
- Aftercare: 1 high frequency, endermologie 2 times, scar laser 3 times. I visited the hospital several times aftercare and the director visited each time.
*If the ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ price is too much of a burden, I think I will do it here. I really like the reviews posted by the female director... I'm a little worried because the experience is short and there are less than 20 reviewsㅠ They don't even hold review events, and there are so few cases..
*There was no deposit requirement, and as soon as I left, the manager sent me a KakaoTalk message with the consultation details + estimate + photos of each area + aftercare.
5. ㅂㅂㄹㅇ (495)
I heard it was really expensive, but it seemed like the best lipotherapy salon, so I went anyway after paying a deposit.
I waited too long for InBody and height measurement.. I also waited for a long time for the director consultation. I arrived at the hospital at 3:30 and it was a little past 5 when I came out. ㅎ… … …
*Director consultation: First, he asked me about the area I was concerned about, asked basic questions, and explained the area differently depending on the hospital. He focused on explaining that if you exclude this area, there are these effects. And he showed me liposuction cases in great detail on the computer. He also told me the characteristics of each patient. When I was looking, he showed me those cases in detail because I wanted to consult on my abdomen and waist as well. The director’s pronunciation and diction were so good, like an announcer’s, that I thought I should go to a speech academy. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
*Director consultation: The director’s consultation was very simple. He showed me how to get this line by removing fat, and he looked at my waist and that was it. I had a strong feeling of “Do you trust me?” and he spoke informally to me.. He said that the bony arms I saw on the app were possible! (He really said that) and asked if I had any questions, so I left. Ah, and the director came in with the consultation
*Director's after-consultation: Aftercare and estimate by area were given and that was it. The price was definitely much more expensive.. When I did it from ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ to the shoulder blade, it was 480, but here the shoulder blade is not included and only the arm is 495... ... The lines are really pretty, but I don't know if it's worth spending 500 because it's putting too much effort on my arms. If it were a little cheaper, I would have considered it.. 500 for the abdomen and waist. Even without the ribs, the lines are so pretty that if I win the lottery, I'm thinking of starting with my waist here ^_^
The director and the director both have strong pride, and you know we're good at it?? The feeling was strong that if you want to come even if it's expensive, you should come. That's why there was no pressure for a deposit, and the director didn't send me a summary of the contents via KakaoTalk.
In the end, I've put down a deposit at ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ and I'm saving up the money and thinking about getting the surgery by February at the latest! The shoulder blades are too much of a burden, so I'm going to only do the back convexity that the director recommended. But if the price is too much of a burden then, I'll probably go to ㅃㄴㄱㅃ, whose line I like, and add only the back convexity. There are a lot of reviews for ㅊㅇㅅㄹㅇ, but it seems like ㅃㄴㄱㅃ only has reviews that are full of advertisements, and there are less than 20 reviews, so it feels like it hasn't been verified. I like ㅂㅂㄹㅇ, but I don't think it's worth spending that much money on.
As I was writing, the post became too long..! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!!
