☺️ do you have any of your own? My main thing is that I feel like my alars is very prominent and tip is bulbous, so hoping to reduce and define

 

If it helps, in my opinion it makes sense about your healing process with the swelling. You want the cast there to ensure any bones he touched, tissue he removed etc that the area will stay in place. Then the cast removal is more so to let the area do it's thing and room to swell so that it can then go down to the size it's supposed to be. You wouldn't want the cast on for the whole recovery period bc then the swelling is limited to the space underneath the cast so it compensates by pressing down on what the doctor already crafted for the rhinoplasty, thus ruining the result. Hopefully my thoughts are somewhat reassuring as that's just my understanding of the recovery process, but feel free to disregard it!

 

I super appreciate that you added this last bit! No one really talks about the 'I wish I had known' stuff since (I guess) it's a minor inconvience but it would definitely make life a little easier had you know beforehand especially after going through surgery! Definitely taking notes of this and best wishes on your recovery!

 

ahh ok, thanks for the clarification ^_^ Do you remember who you spoke to? Happy to hear you're confident on your choosing! I feel like I still have a long way to go, and someone on another thread brought up a good point to look into not only the clinic's rep but the doctors as they may switch from year to year @__@

 

Do you mind PMing me a before of your face shape and your ideal reference photo? I'm trying to judge for myself if I *really* need zygoma reduction to achieve the face shape I want, both, or just v-line, or maybe I'm just not seeing the beauty of having broad cheekbones like I've seen some people expressed on here..haha >__<

 

Thank you for sharing your experience, but I'm sorry it did not go how you like, but hopefully it will turn out well. Do you mind showing a before and after photo, along with maybe a reference photo of what you were trying to achieve?

 

What clinic are you all consulting at and for what surgeries?

 

Did you clarify with the NAMU doctor that he did say fif"tee" and not fif"teen" ? Or ask why he suggested 50% and not a smaller number? (I feel like this sounds a little passive aggressive, but I don't mean that at all. I work with other people regarding birth years, like I'll hear "1934" and I go to look them up in our system, no result, repeat it back to them to make sure, and it turns out they meant "1944" or the like..haha)

 

Can I ask why you chose to go with a silicone implant rather than ear cartilage or rib implant? The major dilemma I'm seeing is rib implant is of course needs ssomeone highly skilled to harvest and customize it to your case compared to foreign (I'm pretty sure that's not the right word) implant is the later complications that your body can develop, as you suggested

 

Any thoughts on NAMU's method of quick zygoma? From the description it sounds like they reduce it from where the tissues don't attach to the bone, and from there, there would be no sagging?

 

No worries, and thank you again for your input! Have you had any problems with scarring and did you do anything to help it heal? (Exfoliating, creams, etc?) I've been looking into how closed rhino takes more skill than open rhino, but at the same time I don't want to limit my doctor's skill to avoid scarring if I can help it after open rhino so that a nice nose can be acheived..

 

It looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience! Also, I was wondering if you had any scarring from open rhino? Either from your previous surgeries or this recent one .How long did it take for it to fade? Did you use any scar cream to help, etc?

 

Super interested in this too! The few post-op reviews I've seen are >6months or less and then no update like they've promised . Hopefully they are content and just enjoying life and not because they are ashamed .are there any clinics that stood out to you for zygoma reduction? Any thoughts on NAMU's method?

 

Are you comfortable with sharing Before/After pics of your rhinoplasty ? I believe I do have thick nasal skin and from just adjusting it and imagining alar reduction infront of a mirror (haha), I'm not sure if what I want would be within reasonable expectations and did you use any reference photos?

 

Aw, I'm so sorry that happened to you! Best wishes! But please don't make any rash decisions, definitely keep looking and researching and hopefully you can find someone to help you!

 

Yeah, I'm really reconsidering, thank you! Although I am still super curious about NAMU's method, apparently they have a method that does not interfere with the attachment between the bone and tissue but I haven't been able to see any responses or comments about it to judge it's authenticity or if it really is just a fancy name

 

Oh no problem, I'm somewhat relieved if anything. Hope everything goes well for you!!

 

Where are you thinking of doing zygoma at? I was looking into it but am super scared since I've seen more warnings about how severe sagging from zygoma reduction is (compared to jaw reduction) and not one review, let alone a positive review, about their zygoma reduction experience that is at least more than 1 year post-op..

 

Hiya! I was super interested in NAMU and the Face Dental too. However I'm also wanting to get rhinoplasty done too and it doesn't look like TFD does it, so leaning towards NAMU.. have you gotten quotes from them already? Do you mind sharing?

 

Hmm, guess I'm just going to have to embrace my cheekbones . Already saving up like crazy so I don't need to open a loan, so I wouldn't want something that I will have to spend extra afterwards to maintain. From my understanding, it's the disconnection between the tissues and the cheekbone in zygoma reduction, and since it wouldnt be able to reattach that causes the sagging? Correct me if I'm wrong? But I will look into that, thank you!

 

If you don't mind, can you expand on that? Why did it raise red flags to you? There's a newly made thread on here "Experiences at NAMU" and the clinic mentioned to someone that they had only expanded their marketing to English speakers about a year ago too! Hmm, is there a different clinic you're leaning towards?

 

I'm about to turn 22 and hoping to get PS done in a year-2 years for rhinoplasty and v-line, but am considering zygoma reduction. Is there anyone here that can share how their results from facial contour and/or zygoma reduction is doing and if you are experiencing any sagging post-op? I haven't seen a lot of comments about that from a year or more post-op and it just seems like sagging is a major concern but there's little mention of it since 1-6months post op they all mention it's swelling that is going down. Thank you!

 

From memory I've read a handful of experiences and they were pretty thorough with what was said during consult, doctor, etc, but no pictures. This is a recent one I've just read: https://beautyhacker.com/forums/topic/994123-my-cosmetic-surgery-experience-in-seoul-2018-namu-ps/ in regards to NAMU's service, but not much more about the zygoma other than their site. Just worried if it's a fancy name to upcharge that service but their method is different than the traditional and quick zygoma method

Also on their Instagram they are starting to be active so keeping an eye on that

 

Hello! I was wondering what people thoughts were about NAMU's method of zygoma reduction? This is (personally) a top clinic of mine that I'd like to go to for rhinoplasty (tip and alar for bulbous and wide nose), v-line, possibly zygoma reduction. I say possibly because the reviews I've read thusfar for long-term always end in facial sagging, and reviews that had a positive review for zygoma reduction were only shortly after post-op (maybe a month from memory). Any information is appreciated- before and afters, what the surgeon (please name who) had said about it during consultation, positive or negative consultation, if you had gone through it- how was your experience?

This is the link from their site for their method of zygoma reduction: http://namups.com/eng/?page_id=91

Thank you in advance for any input!

 

I'm glad it went well for you and the results look amazing!
