Thanks everyone for the information and the advice

 

Hi there,

I'm a Canadian planning to have rhinoplasty surgery done in the Philippines this May. I want to get travel insurance that will cover me if something goes wrong with the surgery.

Are there any Canadians that have gone overseas for plastic surgeries? Did you get travel insurance coverage? What insurance company did you buy the coverage/policy from?

Thanks so much

 

Ha, ha, yes well I'm actually content with my appearance and think that I'm pretty attractive. So that's why I want to get a subtle change because I'm worried that if it's too dramatic, I'll have regrets. I really just dislike my big nostrils and only want a slight tweak of the nose

 

Yes, I've heard about Vicki Belo and I emailed the Belo clinic. Dr. Ed Yap is the surgeon that does rhinoplasty there. They only do in person consultations which isn't very convenient for me since I don't live in the Philippines.

 

I spoke to Shimmian too and also Belo. I will look into Dr. Yapujuangco at Icon Clinic. Thanks for all the information and can't wait to hear how it all goes

 

Yes that's good advice, I'm doing as much research as I can. I'm not having it done until May 2014. I've also been looking on Philippino plastic surgery forums too. This is a life changing surgery, which I don't take lightly. The more I can research, the better I'll feel about doing the surgery.

 

Ahh, thanks so much for putting that thread together

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm staying with my friend in the Philippines so I feel more comfortable getting it done there too. If I went to SK, I would be all alone.

I emailed 3 plastic surgeons in the Philippines and they all responded in English so I'm happy about that. I'm nervous about getting it done too, but I think I may just get alarplasty and tip plasty so that they don't touch my bridge. Then at least I won't have to get my nose broken and it would be less invasive.

By the way, what surgeon have you chosen to do your procedures? I'm leaning towards Dr. Rino Lorenzo for my rhinoplasty out of the 3 that I've consulted with. He actually recommended only having alarpasty and tip plasty which I'm starting to feel more comfortable with. I really don't want a drastic change, very subtle so that my appearance doesn't completely change. The major thing that's always bothered me about my nose is my large nostrils anyways.

Thanks so much for your input and good luck with your surgeries!!!! Please keep me updated on how it goes and if you are happy with the results

This is great, thanks for putting it together Do you have any of the contact information or websites for this doctors? I'm trying to find information on Wang Ting, but nothing is coming up.

Hi, thanks for posting about Thailand. I know this post is from more then a year ago, but did you end up going to Thailand for surgery? If you did, which doctor/hospital did you use and do you like the results?

 

Thanks everyone for the advice about getting it done in Korea. My travel plans are going to be 2 weeks in China, about a week in Japan and then 2 weeks in Philippines. Plus I am staying with a friend in the Philippines who knows the language and can drive me to all my appointments etc. If I go to Korea, I will not have anyone and won't feel comfortable.

That's why I would prefer to have it done in the Philippines.

 

Hi there,

I haven't seen too much information on Rhinoplasty surgery in the Philippines. I've added a photo of my nose for your reference. Basically I want to get an alarplasty to remove some of my nostril and then the bridge straightened. I'm half caucasian and half asian. I have a high bridge so fortunately I do not need an implant, I need to get my bridge shaved down.

Please respond if you've gotten a rhinoplasty in the Philippines and if you like your results and which doctor/clinic you used. Any feedback, opinions would be so much appreciated.

Like I said, I haven't read too much about anyones experience in the Philippines.

Thanks so much

 

That's horrible, now I'm nervous about getting rhinoplasty done in Korea.

 

Quoted for rhinoplasty with hump removal, tip correction and alarplasty for 5M - 5.5M KRW from Pitangui.

 

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I'm half Chinese half Caucasian and want to get an alarplasty with tip refinement in Asia. I'm thinking of getting it done in the Phillipines by Dr. Rino Lorenzo. Has anyone had rhinoplasty surgery by him and what was your experience like? Also I am open to suggestions because I will be visiting China, Japan and the Phillipines so I could get the surgery done in any of those countries.
Thanks
