toronto_m Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i also have a bad surgery by Dr. Wong. not a surprise that his clinic closed. he plays with his words, and plays his mistakes off. i truly regret going to him, now I have to find a way to fix my problem.

vivi_bee Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 No u DEFINATELY need to still sleep with a pillow just becareful not to compress your cheeks to hard on it. I use my bf's cream... i can't think of the name of it.. when i do i'll let u know.. u can only buy it in asia tho.. we got it at Watson.

asin Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i used ear cartilage from my right ear only. my ear looks pretty normal from the front, but there is a scar along the crease on the back that is still visible upon close inspection. i do have light skin, but the part where the ear cartilage graft is poking the tip of my nose is pretty pointy, so pointy that it forms a little white dot at the point. i'm still hoping it will soften over time. like i said, my ear looks normal, and not lopsided or anything. i'm only 25 though. the complete surgery cost me $7900.

toronto_m Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I had an eyelid surgery done my Dr. Wong, and he did a bad job. But if youre two months into surgery and you have no complains about his work, then dont worry so much. I noticed his mistake right after I got up from the surgery bed when he gave me a mirror. It was disappointing. What is even worst, is that he doesnt admit his mistakes. He thinks its my problem for not liking it. But if you like your results, then you should be happy! Im just an unlucky case. Now i'm looking into a revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygirl1 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I was looking at double-eyelid procedure photos online, on a Canadian plastic surgery website (certified plastic surgeons) and there weren't many pics of this, and the ones that were on there they were by Dr. Joseph Wong. Quite misleading, since everyone would think he's the best at that procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwangel143 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 actually your cartilage will probably not fully grow back. unlike cells, cartilage is a type of connective tissue, and its essentially non-living. kinda like bone, excluding the red blood cells in the bone marrow.

noseconcerns123 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 hey asin, sorry to keep asking you questions but im getting surgery with dr lee in june. im getting an alar reduction and ear cartilage at the tip, and im contemplating a silicon implant. since you only got alar and tip work, was the result dramatic/pleasing enough? in pictures, does the nose look a lot better after surgery even without an implant? im kinda torn right now, and i'd really appreciate your opinion! also, any kind of picture would be great! my email is [email protected], and i promise to destroy all photos if you decide to send one. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygirl1 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I don't see how cartilage can "grow back" because then nose jobs (which involves the removal and manipulation of cartilage and bone) would not be permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkryu Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 i forgot about those pillows. i can't believe they never replaced them...and I had my surgery 6 months before you. I wonder how long those pillows have been like that? i wonder if they are still using them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkryu Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 i noticed them at age 23. i used Restylane for a couple years, then realized that my skin was having allergic reaction to it. It would get all red, dry and itchy near the injection site and as a result, draw more attention to the area. after my nose job, my nasalobial folds diminished greatly. I have no idea how, perhaps since my nose is more projected, the excess skin is pulled forward? or maybe the alar base reduction helped? i know that nasalobial folds are a result of a combination of loss in firmness of skin and muscle tone in the face. I wonder if facial exercises than help to build up the muscles back up in the cheeks? Restylane only helped a little in plumping up the area but under certain lighting, I could still see the folds.
