a number of my friends cancelled their trip because of the virus. the gov issued a next level emergency warning about it. The problem with this virus is its less deadly than Mers and the Flu but more infectious. Other problem is if someone is having surgery their immune system be weaker so probably best to avoid korea for now since ppl seem to think the gov is lying about the extent of the infection.

Also even tho media is blowing it way out of proportion, the concern governemnts are having is that they do not know how the virus could mutate yet hence the precaution

 

Screws if its the titanium ones, actually don't need to be removed btw. They actually act as a support fixture in most cases. But you should check with your 2 jaw surgeon on what method he is used to find this out. Tho im not sure if they need to be removed in order for you to do v line.

 

pretty sure doxxing is illegal in south korea too

 

So unfortunately your face type is not the best candidate for facial contouring. The most ideal candidates for facial contouring are those with SMALL FACES but WITH PROTRUDING BONES. Your facial bones protruding but not a lot, its just wide. Therefore your results are limited.

For your zygoma, what is possible is the bone can be pushed in only to where the temple line is. Any reduction beyond that point is not possible.

Your other issue is actually your lower jaw area. You have quite a strong jawline. But from your photos, i suspect if you consult a facial contouring specialist and do the xray and ct scans, they will suggest 2 jaw surgery for you. I am basing this on the shape and position of your chin, which seems to be an overbite. In cases like this surgeons usually wouldn't suggest V line but rather 2 jaw or a combination of both.

 

lol i actually have no clue what clinics are looking for models. I finished all my surgeries already, now its just maintenance so i no longer go clinic hunting like i used to years ago

 

just a head up how models are typically choosen besides the usual criteria

Clinics/ hospials almost always choose models with ideal features which are marketable. They do this because there is a limitation to what plastic surgery can do, and the model must be one that has a favourable facial and tissue structure for producing marketable advertisements and b/a photos. Meaning:

1) patient with small faces (ideally slim to medium fat content and WITHOUT thick fatty skin tissue) Why? because if the patient DOES NOT have those features, even with lipo and zygoma reduction, despite improvements being possible, its not significant enough to turn the patient into model "beauty worthy"

2) protruding facial bones but NOT wide facial bones. Why? because again the potential for reducing facial size is limited. Zygoma mandible v line surgeries are produce the highest yield on patients with small faces but with protruding bones.

3) patients with only minor ptosis. Severe ptosis is hard to great big bright eyes.

4) small nose but with some imperfections. ie: a nose which can be transformed with simple bridge augmention and tipplasty. Clinics will not take on a patient with a very bulbous nose, a very wide nose and /or a patient with thick nasal skin tissue. Why? because if a patient has those type of nose conditions, the end result will not be that beautiful sharp defined nose which almost everyone dreams of.

 

oh really. I knew undetectable means that the virus cannot be transmitted but i didnt think you can still test positive. im sorry you have to go through this

 

From what I've seen he does more dramatic noses tho. Like those kpop style noses. If you want natural don't go to him.

 

im just gonna give you a heads up first since there's alot of misconceptions about hiv which many people do not understand. Even though if your hiv is UNDETECTABLE, which means it cannot be transmitted even if you have unprotected sex, its still a huge taboo in Korea and they will refuse to treat you at most places, even if you can prove it.

Its actually a non medical issue since those whose virus is undetectable cannot actually transmit it. You're not even legally required to tell your surgeon or the clinic so long as your recent test results shows it is undetectable.

And FYI for most of you here who don't understand what that means, undetectable refers to virally suppressed to the point to which the virus can no longer be transmitted. These days there's even that medication which makes ppl immune to hiv. I think its called pep? prep? i dunno which one lol i just know alot of my gay friends take it haha

 

your original nose is not considered bulbous actually. not in the slightest. And your side profile is really nice.

 

yeh eye is minimally invasive the swelling doesnt spread the way nose does so it should be ok but you should contact both clinics to check first if its fine

 

you shouldn't even need a top up after 2 months. 6-8 is ideal. doing a top up before the 3 month mark when the vessels start to grow into the new transplanted region can kill the new grafts struggling to survive. Its best you find a clinic that offers a FREE FRESH TOP UP

 

no its not that it might cause lumpiness, its that majority of the cells are DEAD. Youre basically injecting dead cells so initially you see volume increase and think it worked but it just gets resorped by your body.

This should explain why it doesn't work. Ever heard of that coolsculpting machine which many dermatology clinics use? The one which uses cooling to freeze and kill the fat cells? Well first of all that works (minimally) and when i say freeze its not even that cold to begin with. And using that principle the cold kills the fat cells which have strong vessels naturally developed in our body. Now imagine fat cells which have been removed, devoid of the vessels and sitting in the cold storage. What happens? They're mostly dead

 

yeah his is more dramatic. They had a thai staff that had a really difficult flat bulblous nose which he did a really good job one. If u there ask them about it.

But my dear remember the reason why you had problems with your nose tho. I told you back then when you messaged me not to use fat graft and diced cartilage on your nose and you also told me Dr park even recommended you to use silicone as the best option but you were so against using silicone. If you do a revision this time please please please do not use diced cartilage and fat graft again.

If you remember the reason i told you not to use that method is because I explained when I did my 2nd rhino in Los angeles with charles lee using that method I ended up with unevenness, bumps and lumps post op. Thats the potential side effect to that method. Really really don't recommend it. That method only worked for one of my friends who had a natural humped nose and park used it to fill in the hump region just a tiny tiny bit at the top of the bridge. Using it for the entire bridge poses the risks which we both experienced

 

hmmm see i wouldnt interpret that as any proper definitive study. Like for example while I was researching hair regrowth, they performed hair multiplication on the back of mice which worked but the technique is not effective on humans.

 

Bingo. I would also like to added that there's actually no proper studies done to scientifically prove that stem cell fat graft does in fact have a higher survivability. Same with PRP. The main thing to do with fat graft survivability is:

1) The patient's own anatomy. Some ppl just have a higher resorption rate
2) Blood circulation. When the fat cells are grafted, it takes time for the cells to grow new vessels and stabilize. Having good blood circulation aids in this. However, in cases where the assumption is over filling = more survivability, thats not necessarily true as depending on the patient's anatomy, there might not be enough room for the cells to form strong healthy vessels to survive when over grafted. Its kinda the same concept with hair transplant where space between the follicles is of the utmost importance

 

I think I paid 500 AUD for mine when i did in Australia then i got a rebate back through my insurance. It would have been free but I went to a private hospital to do it cos public facility would have to wait 3 months. Medical is expensive in the us huh -_-

 

ohhhhh see you didn't mention you had an accident in the earlier post so I was confused why on earth u would go that route for your zygoma. Hence I assumed you were just aging and didn't wan to come to terms with it haha. Either way tho before you get ahead of yourself definitely do a ct scan first to identify the problem.

 

i think youre looking at the wrong procedure entirely. it sounds like you have experienced hollowing due to aging. If so then simply do a face lift.

 

putting it back into the same position meaning you already had a zygoma reduction done? If so then no thats not possible to reverse it. Facial contouring is mostly an irreversible procedure. What is cut and resected cannot be put back

 

no its not true it still causes some degree of sagging.
And yes a face lift will 100 percent work for you

 

wonder if it could be an infection. Its rare but it can occur. What did they use to secure your zygoma? Screws? Wires? pin?

 

the first guy from power rangers....he just lost weight. He didn't actually do any surgery when i compare those pictures. Also different lighting and make up. zygoma reduction doesn't give results like that

the second guy looks better before. They resected and pushed in his sides and arch. Men who already have the definition of the second guy in the picture shouldnt be getting facial contouring. His face wasn't considered wide to begin with. It was masculine and defined

 

@Madambutterfly89 yeh i did both. Jaw was done in thailand eons ago. was botched from that one so i had to do a lift when i was really young as there was significant sagging. I did it when i was like 19 i think? Then when i was like 21/22 the pre mature sagging began. Mind you in my case they really just hacked off way too much bone. My ct looked nothing like yours. Yours actually looks normal and i can tell they did it properly, as in they kept the angle. Mine they completely hacked off the mandible angle it was horrible. Which is why a 2-3 years later my jowels were sagging and I needed a lift to conceal and fix the problem. Thankfully it worked. I foolishly did it at Yanhee hospital. Literally a meat market hospital. I later found out that only the people with no money in Thailand would go there. the middle class and above would never go to that place.

@wideface yep really happy. I brought in a picture of Lee Bing Bing actually. (not fan bing bing. I think she looks weird). I explained to my surgeon that I still wanted my zygoma angles just less wide. So he focused more on reducing the sides and less at the arch. In hind sight I probably should have reduced more at the arch because my zygoma is quite prominent but I say im really happy because I got exactly what i asked for since i specifically told him that I liked my 45 degree angle which is predominantly due to the arch. Anyway can't revise it anymore as my zygoma structure isn't the strongest to begin with and it is a nice improvement so yeah.

 

shaving is minimal results tho. I had mine shaved in Australia years ago and literally noticed NOTHING. Paid a ton of money too. Years later i ended up going to korea for a significant result. However shaving the arch will yield more visible result than the side, tho still not as much as osteo. I had mine shaved at the side back then
