  1. The entire region of your nose is basically numb and swollen.
    It will last from 6 months to a year.
    It is a really weird feeling.
    But what you need to really be careful of is that you do not accidentally bump or hit your nose.
    It sounds easy, but if you have never gotten rhinoplasty you really touch or hit your nose (especially the tip) more than you think. It is something you will need to adjust to for the rest of your life.

  4. This is a guide for rhinoplasty newbies and people who (like me) are in search for revision rhinoplasty clinics:
    Hope this helps

    Step 1: Do your research!!!
    I see a lot of people believing testimonials of other people about their experience in different clinics right away. Then they tend to put those clinics on their clinic short lists.
    Do not get over-excited and think that just because a person posted results that you also are achieving to have, that you will get the same results. People have different face shapes and bone structures. Every case is different. These people may even be sponsored by those clinics. So the chances of you getting the same results are meh.

    Step 1a: Write down at least 10 clinics you are considering going to
    -Check if they your doctor is board certified:
    Go to this website and click the english button on the right side and check.
    prskorea.co.kr

    Do you see a Dr. Jin Hong Ryul from Dr. Jin Premium Nose clinic?
    No? Then he is not certified

    -Check if your clinics are blacklisted:
    Usually it is noted down on prskorea.co.kr if the doctor is still in practice or not.
    Go on google or different forums and see if there are any bad news articles written about this clinic. If there are then scratch it off your list. I did at least a month of research for each clinic that was written on my top 10 ten list.
    I would dig up forums, searching for posts talking about that clinic (I usually went back till 2012).
    If you spent less than 2 weeks doing so and just admiring the gorgeous before and after pictures and videos clinics post on theitr websites then you are clearly not doing your homework.

    Step 1b: Want to up your game even more??
    Research if your doctors are registered as a ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) Board member on:
    smartbeautyguide.com

    or a member of the International Society of Plastic Surgery on:
    isaps.org/find-a-surgeon/

    I would definitely recommend these websites for those who are doing revision surgeries.

    Step 2: Know your budget!!
    Ever heard of the phrase: "you get what you pay for" ?
    Well I had to learn it that hard way.

    I will spare you all the arguments to prove my point and cut right down to the chase:

    If you are doing primary then your budget shouldn't be less than 4000 USD.
    If you are doing revisional then the minimum would be 6000 USD.

    Step 2b: Contact your clinics

    Download Kakao and Wechat.
    Korean clinics usually use these messaging apps to be contacted
    Write an E-mail as well.
    Search on google, different forums or on the app Beautysocial for the clinics contact details.
    Make a chart and write down how much those they charge.
    Hint: Clinics usually charge more online than in person so do not be discouraged.

    Pro tip: Learn korean.
    I cannot stress enough how much learning Korean has helped me throughout my journey.
    Some popular clinics do not have english websites or their english websites are limited.
    If you know how to at least read Korean you can easily navigate your way through their websites and check out what Koreans say about those clinics in Korean forums. Knowing some Korean phrases also helps building a connection with your doctor and nurses. Plus if you love K-pop or K-drama this is a big bonus for you.

    Step 3: Plan your trip
    By now now you should have 3-4 clinics on your short list
    Plan to stay in Korea for at least 14 days. (not including Covid quarantine time) This will give you ample time to visit the clinics for the first 2 days and schedule your surgery with the right clinic. In between your recovery you can also go sightseeing if you wish.
    (note: You need 10 days to get all your stitches out).
    I would recommend taking the taxi after getting your surgery done instead of taking public transportation. It is safer and almost the same price as public transportation, except for black taxis they are a tad bit expensive.
    And I would also recommend getting surgery done during the cold season.
    (If you live in a country with 4 seasons) Why?
    Because the nose de-swells faster in cold temperatures.

    HINT:
    Looking for a revision rhinoplasty clinic???
    If your clinic does not mention anything about revision rhinoplasty or that they specialize on revision rhinoplasty on their homepage .
    Then they are not even worth looking at!!!!

    Like what I said on a different thread about knowing what type of surgery to get:
    You have to know what you want and assess your nose shape thoroughly.
    Every person is different.
    Is your nose tip just bulbous? Then just do tipplasty.
    Are your alars only flaring? Then just do alarplasty.
    If your alars aren't that bad and you are planning on getting tipplasty already.
    You probably don't need alarplasty. Your alars will naturally become narrow after getting your tip reduced.

    You can check if you like the height of your bridge by taking a side-view picture.
    If you like what you see then no need to change it. Less implants in your body, less risks of an infection.

    p.s.
    I wrote my 2 cents on a different thread on types of implants I had and what implant I would recommend.

    I wish you luck!!

    Please do not ask me what clinics are on my short list.
    It took almost two years to get my research done and find the right clinics.
    3/4 of the clinics on my list are not even mentioned in this forum.
     
  5. Hi guys,
    I am also interested in doing fat graft surgery. I would like to know how your face developed over the years. Did your face start sagging? or did you lose a lot of volume?
    Is fat grafting good in the long run?
    Are secondary touch-ups really needed.
    Please write down your experiences.
    (I explicitly wrote 2 years and above, because I know it takes time to recover from surgeries and the healing process usually tends to be over a year.)
     
  6. I had goretex on my primary. My revisional doctor had a hard time removing it. How do I know? Because I had local anesthesia during revision and I felt him tugging the implant the whole time. So I would not recommend goretex for the long run. (Mine was implanted for 5 years) The second one that I have is Semi- soft silicone. It does not look fake at all. Ultra soft silicone could be too flimsy on other people. That is why it was not recommended to me. The nose bridge needs to be stable to withstand any accidental hits, if not the tip will collapse. Never use an L-shaped silicone. It's the worst. And ear cartilage is only used on tips.
    Just a tip:
    You have to know what you want and assess your nose shape thoroughly.
    Is your nose tip just bulbous? Then just do tipplasty.
    Are your alars only flaring? Then just do alarplasty.
    You can check if you like the height of your bridge by taking a side-view picture.
    If you like what you see then no need to change it. Less implants in your body, less risks of an infection.
