redbenz68 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 asian_beauty....where are u from? are u willing to travel? As for me, traveling out of country/state was out of list for me at the time. But if i were u, take your time researching and go to an experienced doctor. I think that american doctors tend to do subtle change to your nose. Asian on the other hand, gives you that dramatic change that can either look very nice/natural or it can be awefully devastating to look at .

cottoncandy77 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hey there, On the day you had your surgery did your nose swell really badly? How many days until it looked a little more normal? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisousx Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi guys, I've done several searches in this thread but can't seem to pull anything up. Can anyone recommend a surgeon in Southern California (OC, LA or San Diego) who does excellent work with asian noses? I'm looking to make the tip and bridge higher, not using implants but cartilage or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbenz68 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 if you're from california, i would definitely do research on dr. charles Lee . He has a youtube video for rhinoplasty. His sn is DOCSHOPVIDEO. on the day of surgery, you will be swollen. I was not bruised up like many people b/c i didn't have any brige work done. My nose looked really swollen and big the day i got home. I was under general anesthesia so they stuck a chest tube down my throat so i could breath. I had a sore throat for a week. I felt horrible mentally and definitely physically. my nose was bandaged up except the tip was exposed. I lost sensation on my tip for almost two weeks.

rioizphils Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'm happy that I don'y have any problems with my silicone implants as of now. Its been more than a year and I'm perfectly happy. I just had my butt implants done yesterday and its so fantastic. I've noticed that this is also one of the problems of some asian women. specially Filipinos.

cottoncandy77 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 :S sounds like a bad experience. I never knew if you done rhino they stick a tube down your throat! Cant we just breath from our mouth:s It sounds so scary omg which doctor did u go to? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisousx Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thank you Red Benz. I am really wary of getting implants put in my nose... it seems like Dr. Lee only uses those, so I am going to keep looking. I will probably schedule a consultation with him though, since a lot of people seem to like him. (the posters who said they removed his implants scare me, though!)

dabin Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi everyone im glad i found this blog! i got a I silicone implant with cartilage grafting on the tip. i'm 5 months p.o. here are some pics... do u think this is a really big difference? because no one knows that I got my nose done, and I think it was kind of a waste of money. but when u look at pics like these, u can really see the difference. but i feel like you see more of a differerence from the side but not from the front. did ne one experience this as well?

crazygirl1 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Dabin, can you post pics that are from the front? It's hard to judge just by looking at that weird angle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ala Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 hi asian beauty. i havent personally met any doctors for nose jobs fr the philippines. my choices are either dr yap ( belo) or dr de leon ( la nouvelle).. i think there are lots of doctors from the philippines to choose from but i dont have time to contact all so im limiting my choices to the said doctors... well, im having second thoughts about dr yap. isnt he old already? maybe hes hands are already shaky... july is so near! pls update me of your progress if you decide to have a nose job. goodluck!
