Hey Kimosa!
Meowgirl and I are planning to go to Korea around that time too! U never know....we mite bump iinto each other if we decide to go to the same clinics....so have u booked ur consulations yet? I wana know how long in advance we need to book them.. Also, does any one know what we should do....book our consultation, then book the surgery AFTER the we've had the consultation or is that too late? What I dont want to do is book the sugery (we have to pay a deposit if we book the surgery in advance right??) even before I've met the surgeon, incase I decide I dont like the surgeon. PPl who have had surgery, really appreciate it if you guys could just briefly tell us how u guys arranged everything! thanks!

Hey heromi,

I'm planning on going next month..lol so nervous. I was set on going to Dr Chaung, but in the last few days ive heard so much about Dr tseng... the girl im going with really wants to go to him too. I just want a doctor that is able to give me the nose i want (ofcourse being realistic) I'm just afraid that dr tseng only does round-ish noses, also with Dr Chaung i find his noses to look similar. Hope whoever i go to will listen to my tastes and give me something similar to that.

But im glad ur happy with ur decision, and the nurse with the soft nose sounds so nice.. haha. I was worried about having a hard, numb nose tip afterwards.

I didn't have to pay any deposit. I scheduled my consultation & if I want to get it done, I do it right after my consultation. That would be scary if you had to pay a deposit because what if you don't like the doctor or changed your mind??

I went out together with my friends. they all lavishly gave me compliment about the way I look. they said I looked sexy that I changed a lot, but they couldn't tell why they thought I changed so much.lol. yeah, I did look good tonight. my eyes look good after the surgery.I'm considering bone shaving now,since the pictures I took tonight show I have a big round face.but it doesn't look that round when staring at myself in the mirror.how do you eat after bone shaving?who is famous for it?

Hi all,

So I was thinking about double eyelid surgery, and was discussing it with my friends. They were telling me that it was really obvious and easy to tell when someone had double eyelid surgery done. How is this possible? They said that some double eyelids just look completely fake, and its really easy to tell that they are.

 

[nini1021]

it takes a whole year for the eyes to look nature after after the surgery. your friends probably saw the ones who are not completely healed. mine look pretty nature even now. and my friends couldn't tell. well, they are not Asians, and that's probably why they couldn't tell the difference of my eyes. lol anyways, howdid, don't worry. I'm sure your eyes will look nature. coz I think my eyes are pretty nature-looking.

Hope your recovery is going well summerskin!

I just had nose surgery w/Dr Chuang today. Despite the fact that there's a typhoon right now, the surgery went well! I really liked the fact that Dr Chuang is very patient and not pushy at all...I didn't expect the consultation to be an hour long ! Anyhow, I'm extremely swollen at the tip only and no bruising at all...He wants me to go back on Monday for bandage removal. ( that's only 2 days after surgery, isnt that a bit too early? )

Overall, I'm so glad that I finally had the guts to go do this. It's one of the best decisions i've ever made! Thanks to everyone for their advices here! =)

Hey Berry,

WOW congrats to you too! I am so excited for you!

Did you use silicon or goretex?

summerskin said: ↑

hope you have a speedy recovery as well. Bandage removal on monday already? My bandage removal is on Thursday. I wish I could eat some real food... my mom cooked milk and macaroni for me this morning. I think 2 days is a bit too early. For bandage removal do you mean the packaging inside the nose AND the cast? I had my bandages removed the following day. The cast would be removed in a week. I'm so glad I didn't get any bruising at all too. Did you use silicone?

OH so is it because of the rib that you have to watch your food intake?

keenose,maskd.sorry I was cursing out.it's just I was really pissed off yesterday.my friend invited to a birthday party, I then applied a lot of makeup after calling the doctor to make sure it was ok.then I took pictures of myself.I looked like a ghost.the makeup doesn't make my eyes look bigger,my nose tip looked fat and round, no bridge(he added very little silicone and didn't do anything to the tip)my eyes still look almond,I want round,big eyesDr. Toriumi is known for nose, does he do eyes also?why is he in Chicago?I thought those famous Asian plastic surgeons are located in area where there are lots of Asian like LA.keenose,maskd, and everybody. I want to apologize for blasting off yesterday:dots:

Hey no problem at all nini... we are here for you.
If you ever need a listening ear

Dont worry, its really way early for your eyes to set in the final look.... I'm sure they will look much better in time to come.

i'm not quite sure how much rib he harvested from me. the next time i see him i'll ask him for my medical records.

for one thing, my ribs are throbbing in pain. it doesn't hurt when i lie down but when i try to exercise the muscle or when i try to get up from bed it hurts. the pain is slowly going away. right now as i'm typing away i have to keep my right foot on the chair to support my ribs.

Really admire your courage to go for the rib thing.
Especially when for a women to have a scar at the rib area.. means giving up bikini wear?

Hi everyone

this is my first post in this forum, but i must admit that i have been following this thread for awhile. I recently had a revision done on my nose in taipei.. 3 years ago I had my first surgery done with an L shaped implant, and after about a year it became very sharp.. and over the years it became more noticeable to the point where there was a white dot at the tip of the nose. From the side, the shape had become very unnatural and the skin at the tip had become very thin.. So i came back to taiwan, and I went back to the same doctor and he told me that I could fix this by adding some cartilage to the tip area where the skin had become thin..which is what I decided to do. however, after the surgery the tip of my nose became bigger and the shape was slightly off and in certain areas you could still feel the sharpness of the silicone.. and the tip was still red after 2 months. During these 2 months I was very observant of my nose and noticed that not only was my tip very unnatural looking but my bridge was also too skinny and shiny..(my L implant was a normal size not particularly high) Disappointed in my original doctor, I decided to redo my entire nose.. and went to several different consulations with various doctors in taipei who specialized in rhino.. Today is the fifth day after my surgery.. It was an open incision with goretex for the bridge and septal and ear cartilage for the tip. So far I am very happy with my nose and my choice of surgeon, and the deswelling is going very well.

I just wanted to say that make sure you know what you are getting yourself into when using an L shaped silicone impant. There are alot of risks involved.. and you don't notice until several years later.. which is what happened for me.. In the beginning it was nice and natural but then in the end it was disastrous and painful for me. But then again, there are ppl who do well with L shaped implants.. but i have done lots of research on this subject and I think if you are going for the more natural look, it is better to do your bridge and tip separately.

Anyways, goodluck to everyone! feel free to ask me questions, I have been around most major clinics in taipei and have done a fair amount of research on this topic.

Hi Hiromi,

Thanks for sharing your experience with us and welcome to the thread

On the 1st doctor you went to (the one that gave you problems), how did you find him? What made you choose him initially?

On goretex, it seems that it definately can give a more natural look to the nose. The only setback is that if it needs to be removed, it would need a very good doctor in order not to deform the nose.

How was your impression of Dr Chuang? (because I am going to him)... you feel he doesnt understand what you want?

Thanks Mask,summerskin, shoe_girl!

It's only the bandage that's covering my nose. I don't have any hard casting. I only did the tip. ( no implants) I think the sutures and the rest wil be off in a 1 week..Hopefully by that time, I will look decent enough to shop and tour Taipei.... So lucky to have your mom cook for you! Macaroni sounds so good right now instead of ramen noodles... I swear I will never touch this again after I go back to the states...

OH ! You only did the tip? Tip plasty... no bridge work done? No alar too?
