jellybeany Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Titimo, I just had my first consultation with Dr. Rival today for rhinoplasty. You're one of the few members in this forum who has had an alarplasty procedure with him. I'm just wondering whether you could comment on your experience in a bit more detail. I would really appreciate your input on a few of my concerns. Was your experience with Dr. Rival at all negative? I'm particularly worried about scarring and recovery time. Have your incisions healed well? I will be taking a week off of school for the surgery and I'm worried that the surgery will still be very obvious after week 1.

flipgrl Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 True, many Pinoy stars look more Caucasian/Latin because that's what they are..they're of mixed blood, especially actresses. A lot of them are half white. That's why they look more Caucasian. It's not like they're actresses who had tons of surgery, so they could look like that. On the other hand, there are also a lot of stars that are full-blooded who are also beautiful and don't look Caucasian. I know that having light skin is preferred in our country, but I'm not sure if you would call that the Eurasian look. I just think that it's one thing to have plastic surgery to enhance your features to look better, and another thing to have surgery to the point that you're erasing your ethnicity. But I guess in some cases, the person ends up looking mixed after surgery with no intentions of looking like one. Bottom line, whether you're Korean, Chinese, or Filipino...you can have surgery (i.e. nose augmentation) to look good and still retain your ethnicity right? That's just my take on that. I'm planning to have a rhino to enhance my beauty, but not purposely doing it to look "Eurasian"... Only my opinion.. But I guess everyone has their own standard of beauty. Whatever floats your boat I guess....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkle Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i have uneven eyelids... and it bothers me so much lol. i used to have single on both eyes, then as i grew up, i got double on both eyes but one is uneven. it's so weird, and i need to get surgery to correct it. i dunno about the blanket thing..maybe it's just not a permanent crease, like how mine is?

mkryu Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Both Pops Fernandez and Jolina Magdangal are very attractive. I think they aren't mixed. My intentions were just to look better. My new nose and chin just happened to give me more of a mixed look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkryu Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I have no idea. It was just a minor increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazygirl1 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Finkle, I woke up one day and I noticed that on one eyelid I have an extra crease, so that eye has a triple crease while the other eye has a double crease (natural). One eye looks bigger than the other! Do you know what kind of surgery can fix this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2change Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I need to go back to taiwan for another touch up on my nose and at the same time am considering a chin operation to balance out the new nose, lol. Just want to get some feedback on any of you guys have had it and how do you feel about it now. When you response, can you let me know how long have you had your chin operated and do you feel its natural at all? Does it CHANGE your face shape by certain degree? When you smile, does it looks weird, for example, does your chin sticks out like one of those puppet? Any happy ending or regrets? Any of your stories are greatly appreciated. We are all here to share our experience right Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2change Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Anne, I skimmed through a bit about your profile and you're turning 25 years old right? I am 11 years of your senior and so I want to ADVICE to go slowwwwwwly in attempting to change your face/body. As for the calves reduction, here are the facts: IT WILL HURT in the operation and healing process itself but Dr. Jong is good doctor. You will not be put to sleep. You will get a deep freeze on your spine just a like a getting the needle for delivering a new born. Your upper part will be awake. First 3 days - bed ridden 1 week - mobility will start 1 month of inconvenient in terms of walking Choose your time frame wisely as there will be a lot of inconvenient. I like my results Hope this help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlegirl Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Pursebao, I would like to know why you had to go in for 2 revisions....I had my initial surgery in Sept 08, and got a revision 5 days later because I thought it looked off-center. Now I think it looks slightly crooked. I wonder if you had the same experience as me. I also had ME and the scar willl eventually look better but has not completely gone away. I can also see a scar inside my nostril -it's not an indent, it actually pops out. I'd like to talk more about Dr Lee with you....if you want, you can email me. Hopefully, we can share our experience and get some reassurance about our results. [email protected] (also, anyone else who wants to talk about Dr Lee) Thanks!
