  1. I was thinking about View, but none of the translators that I spoke to have had any feedback on it. Actually though I heard one translator might be taking someone there in November.
     
  2. Yea, I spoke to a cpl of PS surgeons in the States and they both said it is not worth the scarring. So yea, u r better off doing it in Korea.

    I'll PM you my info.
     
  3. O yay! Maybe we can all connect there.
    Wow, you are traveling all the way to korea for just epi? That is some good discipline. I wanted just my eyes but now I'm thinking eyes, fat graft and possible vline or nose if the dr suggests it.
     
  4. I luv hearing great outcomes! Thanks so much for the update, it helped me in my decision to not do zygoma :smile:
     
  5. You sound way better!
    Please stay on next month cuz I'm definitely gonna need the support! Especially if I have to spend christmas here without family. You know how big christmas is here in the states and I am a big big fan of all the lights and festivities.
     
  6. Hey miaann
    Omg! I can't believe you are 10days post op already. Seems like just the other day you were going in for consults. Are you back home already?
    I am glad to hear you are happy with your results. I love how your friend said you looked like you had eye surgery. Made me laugh. I love those tell it like it is friends :smile:
    Also excited to hear about your vline and how it looks like you lost weight! O I hope all I need is vline, but knowing my luck, they'll probably recommend 2 jaw :sad: praying that is not so. Tons of admiration for those who go through that type of surgery.
    I agree it is to have someone there for moral support. I'm really lucky that snowstreams dates coincided cause christmas time will be lonely :sad: Iam really gonna miss my family. Maybe us forumers can all meet up to have a christmas dinner, bandages, swollen eyes, drinking our pumpkin juice together. Hehehe
    Well please keep updating us with your post-op. I will definitely ask you more questions later and expect even more when I'm in recovery :smile:
    Thanks so much!
     
  7. I'm sure you can. I think v-line would be the same for all ethnicities :smile:
    Good luck :smile:
     
  8. Yeah I noticed the sight has been quiet too, but I guess there are a lot of us going in november/december. 1/2 are probably doing consults and recoving, the others are busy buying things they need. Me, I have been home, sick with the flu all week, so I come on and check cuz I am bored :/

    Well sounds like you are healing correctly since the swelling is going down :smile: just think every day it will get better!! O n don't forget to nurse the rib too. Those of u who did nose surgeries using your ribs are just crazy tough :smile: I give u tons of credit!
    Are you planning on seeing the sights? Are you alone? Have you met other forumers? I have never been to asia, so I am really psyched to go out and see the sights. After reading peoples updates though, i too might be bummed about my face and not want to go out. Luckily I have snowstream to do this with, so that'll be my motivator to get up and out.
    Well keep posting if you are bored or need moral support :smile: someone will answer!
     
  9. When you get lonely and emotional, just know, you have us here cheering you on! We are all over the world, so post questions/comments, someone in the right time zone will answer u :smile: it'll feel like you have friends there with you.
    Stay positive. Take this time to relax and nurse yourself back to health.
     
  10. Hey congratulations! Must be great that it is finally over with and now you can just enjoy! Wishing you the best with recovery and outcome :smile:
    In re: to how much you should walk, I never had a nj, but when I had mini tummy tuck they told me to get up and walk at least 10 min for every hour. From what I read from other forumers, they walked 2-4 hours a day.
     
  11. Whoa, that sucks :sad: Thanks for the update on the post op care. One of the big reason why I kept them on my list was because of the post op care. Any surgery, but especially something major like facial surgery, post care is important! Good to know.

    So are you liking your new face? Are you glad you did zygoma reduction surgery? I can't tell by frontal b/a pics of people, if it really makes a difference. Do you know if it leads to any droopiness in the front part of the face afterwards? Also would we be able to get cheek implants afterwards? any knowledge/understanding you are willing to share about this subject would be greatly greatly appreciated.
     
  12. Hey,
    Sorry, I don't remember what was said about OZ and I don't know if I ever read about YnY. Haven't really been paying much attention to nose though because I don't think I m getting it done this time around. Will keep my eyes open now and let you know if I read anything about them.
     
  13. Hi MiaAnn
    Did you give Dr. Gim pictures of eyes you wanted for reference? If so, do you think he came close to your desired results?
     
  14. Hey turningpoint,
    As i was typing it up last night, I was wondering if the list was confusing for others to use and thought of not posting the rest because it might be too overwhelming, so people might not use it. I would have loved to have made it more user friendly, but my writing document program crashed a few months ago, so I am writing everything by hand and typing it on my phone.
    But i am really glad you can use it :smile: I guess i will finish the first forum then and if you want, just PM me if you need cozycot's cheek reduction forum. i am barely starting to reread that-so it will take me a cpl of weeks.

    Since you are using the list, I just wanted to point out that on pages 121-170 forumers said Regen's post op care was good. But MiaAnn pointed out that Bambi (forumer who posted later in forum did not care for post op at Regen) I will post that later on those pages.

    Well good luck to you too! i am very apprehensive about this surgery, so I am just trying to go in prepared.
     
  15. Thanks so much for replying!! :smile: and thanks too for ur update! I love that you can't tell you had surgery! You must be loving it right now. Hey can you open your mouth normally? Do you feel any numbness?

    Re: regens post op care. Thanks, good to keep in mind. I have Regen on my shortlist bcuz of their post-op care . I should have written the pgs down for the Regen post op so that people could reference who said it. But i guess we can just check back to those who have gotten surgeries @ regen. I will definitely make note of bambis post op @ regen. I know she wrote on the last few pgs of the first forum and the beginning of 2nd forum.

    I know you said you paid around 5.5mil for vline, how much did they charge for your eyes? do you like the outcome? Was it ptosis and double eyelid?

    What is mini vline? One forumer said it was sliding genioplasty, is it?

    Re: jewelry ad. Omg, r u saying like cookie cutter surgery? Well, I guess it wouldn't be so bad if they all looked like angelababy. Then id say sign me up! Hehehe
     
  16. I haven't come across people being able to find it in singapore yet. Will post it if I do. I PMd you.

    Fyi: A good way to take sinecch is twist the capsule open and drop the little beady balls under your tongue. Tastes likebcandy too :smile:
     
  17. I know this is all out of order, but if you go to p30 of 2nd forum, it has the list of the first forum summarized pgs 1-120.
    And it also has list of the second forum summarized pgs 1-30.

    1st forum pgs 121-170
    now that I am compiling my questions for the doctors and trying to plan my trip, i decided to add extra info. I also included price quotes people were getting via email from the doctors to use as reference. Of course a lot of forumers said to bargain down. I think you should really read Asin and Shane77 follow-ups. They both had a lot to say about their experiences recovering from surgery and some helpful tips/explanations. For those of you who have not read the 1st forum yet, some of the forumers mentioned here are deactivated, but I am continuing to post their posts to be consistent. I've included page #s and post#s for you to read up on it.

  18. Wow, good to know. Thanks for looking out :smile:
     
  19. O good luck :smile: wishing you the best!
     
  20. O, you're welcome. I will be posting the next 100pgs from the 1st forum soon. Was lagging a bit busy formulating questions for the doctors. thank u for the well wishes :smile:

    .
     
  21. Thanks so much for posting your update and pictures. Omg, i think you looked great either way, b4 n after. In your before pic, you had a more childlike innocent looking face and with the nose, it added more sophistication to your face. Your new nose makes you look a bit of mixed ancestry. Even with swelling, the PS looks subtle, way natural :smile: congratulations!
    Btw: how many people did you actually tell after the surgery? I am just trying to prepare myself for what I may have to say when asked.
    Well i hope you continue to make great progress with your healing. Will you please let us know when all the feeling of numbness subsides.
     
  22. Thanks for the advice, I will ask and let you know if I hear back from her.
    What part of your face did you do acculift?
    Do you know how much Dream charges for fat graft? Their website has a very limited English section and they didn't reply to my email.
