I initially began my journey with V. Lif through email inquiring about a revision facelift. I had a smas facelift a year earlier and unfortunately was not satisfied with the outcome. V. Lif responded to my email very promptly and provided me with all the information. I wasn’t quite ready to book an appointment at that time but Bella, who I was corresponding with, was very pleasant and not pushy at all, which I really appreciated. A few months later I was ready to proceed with an in person consultation. I contacted Bella again and she happily scheduled an appointment for me. I drove up to Seoul the day of my consultation and was happy to find that there was parking available for the building. Upon entering the clinic, I was greeted as soon as entered the doors. Everyone was so nice and the clinic was very clean and beautiful. I waited only a few minutes then was greeted by Bella who escorted me to a consultation room where I met with Dr. Shim. He was very nice and answered all my questions. I even went it requesting other procedures other than the facelift but was told that he did not recommend them for me. Again, I was very pleased to see they were not trying to tack on unnecessary procedures and gave me his honest opinion. I went to a handful of consultations and V.Lif was by far the best.
I still wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to proceed and needed some time to think. Again, Bella was very understanding and did not try to sway me into the surgery. I ultimately did chose V.Lif and had my surgery one and half weeks ago. Everyone was wonderful at the clinic. Surgery day was a breeze and I felt well taken care of through the whole procedure. Bella even helped me book a nearby hotel room before the surgery so I was able to return to the hotel right after. I also met with Sea, another translator, the day of the surgery and she was by my side the entire time. She told me everything that was being said and taking place so I never felt frightened. Dr. Shim was amazing as well and made me feel confident that he had my best interest at hand.
After the surgery after I had recovered, I was asked if they could call me a cab back to my hotel. I actually felt great and declined and was able to walk back to my hotel. I have felt great since the moment I walked out the door. I haven’t had any pain and have only had swelling and some minor bruising. I’ve been back to the clinic a few times now for a few check ups. The bandage was removed on day 3 and the stitches came out a week after surgery. Every time I’ve been in the clinic for a check up, everyone has been phenomenal. I’ve been given red light therapy, deswelling treatments and a hyperbaric chamber treatment. I’ve asked a million questions, and Bella and Sea have been great in answering them all.
I am not even two weeks post op so far but can already see a difference in my face. I can’t wait to see what the end results and how much time is erased from my face. If you are thinking about having surgery in Korea, definitely visit Dr. Shim and his crew at V. Lif!! They will not disappoint!!
