meomeo_bl Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 hummmmmmm Dr Lee from VIP was student of Dr Gunter in Texas??? I am about 1 and 15 minutes from DR Gunter I have spoke on the phone with the receptionist of Dr Gunter's office and asked for Dr Gunter as my PS for Primary Noe job, but the girl told me that he only does revision. There is Dr Conchran?(not sure about the spelling) he is working for Dr GUnter more then 10 yrs...they said Dr Conchran will do the primary cases while I want dr Gunter.. Goretex is thin and light so it tends to bend too.. at this time, I dont know which material is good and last life time I don't know anyone who had rib over 10 yrs so that I can ask them but my friend told me she has rib on her nose but why I can see something clear in her nose bridge thru the light and the middle part of her nose bridge is getting really pink plus the tip is warping toọ I dont know anymore..*I am really confused and dont know which Doctor which material to choose anymore..

rawdude Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 well prolly some bad surgeons did the rib for her. s id mentioned RIB requires superb skilled surgeon. not play matter. its almost like joining your legs back. u cant walk properly if misalignment and misplacements n all. there is nothing that guarantees lifetime results. even life itself is not forever yeh? just do it if u REALLY REALLY need it, who knows wot happen next? ;p anyway, on VIP website dr lee's greetings, do more readups! he was student of dr gunter, just not sure if its the same gunter tho.

rawdude Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 nope. just saying nothing is lifetime. except your brain and your heart, but well. they get weaker as we age too isnt it. just be prepared there is a possibility for revision for any methods u use, especially implants. if u do minor ones, it shld be quite safe if your surgeon is good. wot i think is, no matter which method u use, we r all gonna be really ugly when we r 70s++ isnt it? a nose job turns bad, a natural nose turns bad too. watever go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acadabra Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 my mom was involved in an accident almost 35 years ago and has only silicone in her nose. Her nose still look good as of now. It is very natural until no one suspects dat she had a nose job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izora Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Cartilage becomes harder and stronger as people age. The stronger the cartilage, the less likelihood of absorption and warping. This is what I was told when I had surgery at VIP. My cartilage was unusually strong for someone my age, so the chance of absorption and warping is slim. People need to consider the condition of their rib cartilage if they are interested in rib rhinoplasty because that makes a huge difference in their long-term results.

izora Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dr. Lee at VIP uses K-wires to prevent warping. He didn't use it on me, but I know someone that he used it on. I think it's only used if your rib cartilage is more prone to warping (i.e. younger patients). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meomeo_bl Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 "rib cartilage is more prone to warping" - Izora said - is right with older patient - less chance of warping ( I have read several articles about this) I think it makes sense - just like we stop growing tall after 25 yrs of age so let say over 35 is good , right??? and also - harder rib is more difficult to carve so you need a skilled surgeon to do this Acalabra: yes..if you have thick skin, and skillfull doctor , not over augmentation , then you will be fine material is not the issue but the skill of doctor, your body reaction are counted as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
