Hi

To those of you who've elevated your bridges, I was wondering how that affects the frontal view of your nose...do you think it sufficiently narrows it? Or would that require breaking the nasal bones?

Thanks so much!

Good question! I'd like to know the answer to that, too.

Wow I'm so sorry to hear that you did not get all your questions/concerns answered with Dr. Choe. He is a rather gregarious guy. I've always done my consultations in the Flushing office (on Wednesdays) and surgery in the Manhattan office so I guess I didn't know his Manhattan office had so many scheduling problems.

IMO it's definitely best to remove make-up (esp. eyelid tape, eyeliner, eyeshadow, any coutour make-up for the nose area) when going in to these consultations. When you meet with Dr. Kwak (who takes several photos of you and then performs the computer simulations), it'll be in your best interest to make sure that the before-photo is taken without any make-up......otherwise the simulated after-photo probably will be of little value.

As for before/after photos, I think you always have to ask the doctor and/or his office managers for them.....otherwise they don't necessarily show them. That's been my experience with ALL my consultations. Dr. Kwak was the only one who personally showed me the before/afters on his personal computer while we were going through the consultation (that's after I asked for the before/afters). For all my other consultations, upon asking for the before/after photos the surgeons all referred me to see their office manager/assistant after the consultation......so after you finish meeting with the surgeon, the assistant will show you the before/afters (either on a computer screen or in a binder) in a separate room or in the main lobby. With Dr. Choe my very very first consultation (for my eyes) last Sept. I didn't ask for the before/afters (coz I'd already seen so many before/afters of his bleph work from soompi, mostly of girls around my age) and they didn't show me any. When I went back for my rhino consultation and asked for before/afters, Sharon spent a lot of time in another room with me (after the meeting with Dr. Choe) going through the before/afters in a binder. With Dr. Jeffrey Ahn & Dr. Steven Pearlman, it's the same procedure -- the surgeons don't personally show you any before/afters, but instead refer you to their office managers who shows you the before/afters in another room.

I'm definitely not wearing make up for dr. kwak's consultation. I asked dr. choe to see b/a pictures but whoever it was in the front desk said that they don't have the time for it that moment because they had to perform a surgery. So that's really annoying now that I know that it's their job to show me the pictures. Hopefully dr. kwak's consultation will be better.

I just had my nose done about a month ago with silicon, however the tip of my nose looks weird and the skin is red... I was just wondering if this is normal? I am really scared of extrusion also. Does anyone know what the signs are? thanks

 

[noseconcerns123]

hey e_baby

I had my tip done too and I'm about 2 months post-op. The tip does de-swell quite a bit from a month to two months, so I wouldn't be too worried yet.

As for the skin, mine is also reddish (better than before, but still kinda red). I don't know if that's normal either, but I don't think its extrusion.

For e_baby:

Is your nose sore, painful or tender? These symptoms, along with redness, could be signs of an infection. Maybe get this checked out by doctor or your PS?

BTW, thought i'ld post up some before and after pics of a girl who had her nose done in taiwan, but i'm not sure which doc though cos my chinese is reallly bad. I got it off the fashionguide website. Beautiful results, it totally transformed her face. Plus it looks really natural too.. hopefully she doesn't mind me posting it here lol.

I've been going through old posts one by one and am AMAZED at this transformation. Holy cow.....PS is generally an enhancement procedure but this one takes the cake for complete transformation. And the end-result is actually quite natural-looking.

How thick of an implant would be needed to achieve such a drastic transformation in bridge heighT?.....going from nearly no bridge to such a high bridge? I'm thinking it's got to be even >5mm.....probably 6 or 7 or 8mm? Is that even possible with silicone? I thought thickest silicone implant they could use (safely, that is) is 5mm.....? Goretex supposedly can give more bridge height (safely), up to 8mm (e.g. 4 sheets of 2mm thickness each stacked together). But that post-op nose in the photos just appears so defined and pointy (almost looks like a L-shaped silicone implant??) that it doesn't look to be goretex based.

^ omg figure out who her suregon is~!!!

 

[kpp]

Second that. I'd really like to know the name of her surgeon too.

 

[rememberme123]

Heya.. Thanks for sharing with us the pictures.. Maybe you can post the url of where you got these pictures..? I can read chinese (i think some of the forumers here can too)
.. so i can possibly find out who the surgeon is.. and share with everyone here..

Thanks a million!

looks like silicone to me given the definition along the ridge.

it makes it look much narrower at the pointy bone at the center of your nose. i couldnt believe that he didnt actually break the bones to achieve that effect.

i think cersepn got the pictures from http://www.fashionguide.com.tw/
i'm not sure which link she got it from but if anyone knows please share!
the before and after picture looks amazing! i wanna know who's her doctor!

 

[young_princess]

does goretex result in a less defined nose?

 

[foxycleopatra]

To the ladies & gents who've had ALARPLASTY......

1) can it be done independent of or after a full rhinoplasty operation (bridge augmentation, tip work)? Or would this be not advisable?

2) can it involve just RESHAPING of the nostrils (e.g. from a round shape to oval or triangular) WITHOUT reducing the nostril size (i.e. overall circumference)? My nostrils are not large by any means and no PS I'd consulted with ever recommended alar reduction in my case (plus I heard that you've got to be extremely careful when deciding whether to proceed with alar reduction since there's no going back if too much is reduced).......but some mentioned that nostril re-positioning & re-shaping from the round shape to oval or triangular can contribute more projection for the nose tip. So I was wondering if anyone here has done NOSTRIL RE-POSITIONING & RE-SHAPING without nostril size reduction?
