Just to do an update, I got rhino a few days ago. My prescription is -9.50. On the day of surgery, I was able to wear my contacts up until I laid down on the operating table. After surgery, my eyes were not immediately swollen, but I didn't feel comfortable putting contact lens back in. My husband was able to guide me into a taxi back to our Airbnb, and I just went back to sleep. The next day, my eyes blew UP. I wore my glasses the whole day and used the tape method. LIFE-SAVER. I look like a cross between Alfalfa and Harry Potter and my husband can't help by laugh every time he sees me but it works — my glasses don't touch my (silicone implant) bridge at all and I can see fine. It's now almost 4 days post-op and the swelling around my eyes have gone down considerably, so I feel comfortable wearing contact lens again. However, at home I use the tape method, and I believe I will have to do this at least for the next 4 weeks. Hopefully my experience helps others who are interested in rhinoplasty but worried about getting lasik first. (I'm actually not a good candidate for lasik.)

This is incredibly helpful. I was wondering about this! Thank you!

I don't have any info on the doctors you mentioned, however I've been in the Philippines for the past 3 months and I did some light research into the PS clinics here (Aivee, Belo, Toledomed, among others). The before/after pictures are so random that I just couldn't take any of them seriously (different lighting, bad image quality, selfie angles, etc.) so I'm just planning on getting rhino in Korea instead.

Oh my god, I didn't even think about this. Thanks for the post!

I knew he was going to be expensive but...that seems like a lot? He's getting to be really famous on IG now so I guess it makes sense!

Hi everyone! You can call me Manon. (Any TOG/ACOTR fans on here?) I'm American and my ethnicity is Filipino. I'm interested in rhinoplasty (increase nasal bridge height, reduce bulbous tip), however I'd also be interested in eyebag fat repositioning or philtrum correction based on cost. I'm planning on going to Korea next month. I have flexibility to visit Seoul for a consultation and then schedule surgery at any time before late September. I've done some research on Namu, Dream, Opera, MVP, View, Hanabi, GNG, Marble and Banobagi and I'm getting overwhelmed. Every clinic has great before/afters so now I just don't know how to narrow it down. I joined this forum to get advice on how to do just that! I'm hoping to narrow it down to 2-3 and visit those for consultation.
