catlover88 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 ya, I have been warned too, that for revision cases, recovery will be much slower, cos the nose structure b4 revision is already compromised by whatever has been done earlier (contraction from implant causing tissue and structural damage, removal of implants which will affect the surrounding tissue, scar tissues from previous surgeries ...). mine is revision, so I'm prepared, but still hoping for the best. I still believe it is impt to keep our system in tip top condition (exercise, eat well, sleep well) esp. for the few mths b4 surgery, then we'll handle the sedation/anesthesia drugs better + heal better.
catlover88 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Oh yes, I found this, FYI - List of drugs and supplements to avoid before and after surgery. Yr surgeon should highlight a list of "what not to take". I've been told to avoid Vit E, hormonal drugs, Omega3, Aspirinshttp://www.revisionrhinoplasty.net/medicationlist.htm
izora Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 This isn't a new procedure. I believe it's been practiced for a while. Dr. Lee at VIP does this procedure also. Verity on this forum had this procedure done at VIP. I know a few of you have seen her before/after pictures. It's only meant for minimal augmentation, and yes, there is absorption.
rawdude Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 hi izora u know alot. thanks for the feeds. im going VIP very soon. well, rib too iguess. was suggested chin removal to front. anyway wats zygoma surgery done for? better smile? to show front teeth? complicated -.- u know anything abt this? i have no idea and not sure if i shld do this lol. anyway, you have a comprehensive itinerary/ guide for the VIP visit, before or after. where shld i go wat shld i do, wat shld i eat, wat to buy, where to shop, how to go about. omg i dunt even understand abit of korean. lol is there a tiff n co there? gd bargain?
kain Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 "chin removal to front" aka sliding genioplasty it is basically like a chin implant, except instead of an implant they cut off the front part of your chin and move it forward to simulate a chin implant. it cost more than twice as much as a chin implant though =( it helps balance your profile since if you have a nose job your nose will be bigger and it might throw your face off balance because your nose might be too big to match your chin. zygoma surgery is when they reduce the size of the cheekbones there are several methods. they can shave the bone down or they can cut the bone and reposition it and secure it using screws
vivi_bee Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I have no fear for absorption... only warption...... ppl been saying the grinding up cartiledge into 1mm peices has asorbption but what about warption? THat sounds very strange to me... and im sure its only for tiplasty? (correct me if im wrong) making a whole bridge peice with lil bits cemented together doesnt sound to trust worthy.
townstory Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Hi Rawdude, I had my fifth revision done by Dr Lee, u cam go to page 96 ( briefly) to check my post about the expeirence with VIP.
juicyme Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I just had my consultation with Dr. Ahn in NYC today~ >.< KAIN--- it's 7500 USD for JUST rhinoplasty?? where?
kain Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 in korea. there was a second clinic that quoted me for 7700 usd + 800 for anesthesia its because it costs more money to use rib cartilage
juicyme Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Ohhhh, I see. What exactly are you getting done with your nose? I am getting bridge with goretex and the nasal tip w/ ear cartilage.
megoreng Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Hi pulpy, would u pls leave ur email so communicate there? I can't PM yet either..
kain Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 as far as i know i am just getting bridge work and nasal tip done too i might need osteotomy (break the bones to move them closer) to narrow the bridge and maybe alarplasty but i really hope not
catlover88 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Anyone had paranasal implants together with rhino - need some advice whether it is worth it, did you use silicon, goretex/medpor or your own? How about recovery, is it tough?
vivi_bee Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 this is soooo hard. So far i went thru al of VIP pix and none of them stood out to me or really my style. I guess none of your guys pictures r posted on there since you all had done it recently. IF any of u can pm your photos that would be super helpful =)
kain Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 i am going to get paranasal implants if you go here and search for premax or paranasal (search the title as well as content) you can get some before and afters and decide for yourself whether it is worth ithttp://korea.nose.co.kr/english/recent/recent01.asphttp://korea.nose.co.kr/english/recent/read.asp?idx=1894&page=1&S_Kinds=Content1&S_STR=premax&flag=8&LangType=1 most of the results are really subtle but the one above shows good results. you can see the entire base of her nose seems moved forward and combined with her chin implant, her mouth looks less projected. that is the kind of result i want if you want to do more research on it, it is also called premaxillary implant and in korea they call it "noble surgery". so if you have ever seen that term used on a korean clinic's website now you know what it means i think most surgeons use silicone. the implant is inserted through an incision inside the mouth.
