Hi everyone! I've just recently considered getting a rhinoplasty as well. I made a trip to Vietnam and checked out a doctor that my coworker went to, bc her nose looks really good, and she went to him 10 years ago. When I got there, I really freaked out bc the place was someone home, and it wasn't exactly a clinic. I speak vietnamese but he had a really hard time answering my questions... So I was too scared to do it and left. A friend of mine was actually in vietnam the same time, and she just got the surgery done 2 weeks before my arrival. Her nose looks very natural but the tip was still big and it looks like she haven't had any surgery done. When she flew back a couple days and go and I just saw her. I love the result! After the swollen has gone down, it looks SOOO MUCH BETTER. cute and small and natural looking. Exactly what I'm looking for. My nose curved downward, I'm trying to correct that problem.. and a higher bridge. But I'm not looking for anything drastic that might make me look caucasion-ish. I'm actually consider flying back to Viet nam to go to him. He's a korean doctor that fly to Viet Nam occasionally. He charges about a thousand. The vietnamese doctor I went to, that I chickened out of.. only charges 300 US dollars. 500 is actually expensive in viet nam. I was really amazed at the price... but my coworker nose has turned out well. I couldn't get the surgery done at the time bc I had to fly back to California bc of my job. I was considering doing it, then flying back home right after.. but I want to be safe and stay there atleast 3 weeks. If I have a chance, I will post picture of my friend after surgery! She look so much better, and she's in her late 30s and it made her look younger. The only part is I'm scared of being awake during surgery. I rather be put to sleep.

My question is... the majority of the oversea doctor do not put you to sleep right? My friend told me that they just numb you through the needles and you are awake the whole time. I'm really scared of that part.. Thinking of laying there awake throughout the surgery is definitely terrifying. If you have experienced that, can you please give me some insight of your experience? I'm really hoping that the doctor that she went to have the option of me paying more for putting me to sleep.. but I don't know if its available. I also heard that most of the oversea doctor, do not put you to sleep, bc its very dangerous. And if they are not skilled, you might never wake up.. is that correct? I'm really looking into this... and am thinking about doing the surgery sometime this year.. or possibly the next year. I'm still looking for the right doctor, and possibly someone that will do the surgery with putting me to sleep.. Please send me a message if you have a doctor that you personally recommend. I have a friend in Korea, so I might consider flying there as well. Thank you for your help!



Thank you for ur help in advance =)

Healing is coming along nicely... The tip has softened but is still very sensitive to the touch. A lot of the swelling has gone down, guessing the bridge is .5mm less than what it was 10 days post op. The bridge now has a natural looking slope and the tip has slightly turned up.

For the first timers, get your toner and biore nose strips ready! The skin on the nose produces a lot more oil post op for a couple of months.

This is amazing!!! Jamasian, I think I have missed it - where did you do your surgery and what material did you use??
Many thanks!!

Thank you soooo much for sharing your experience. Your post is very encouraging
I have been thinking of a rhino surgery for a while. I don't mind having a (slightly more) "dramatic" nose and am not concerned with other people commenting on it. However, am afraid of any surgical failure or any possible future revisions. It would be time-consuming and energy draining!!
Please keep us posted re your recovery and hope everything goes well with you!!!

Hi all:

Its time for an update. I had a revision nose job with rib cartilage at VIP and i can tell you that it is well worth the trip.

One emphasis of VIP is top notch service. Unlike BK where you'll feel like your in a factory being quickly shoved out of the building, VIP is different. They actually truly care for you. You will actually see the doctor often. every morning he will steralize your nose and examine it, and i mean everyday (except sunday where they are closed).

The nurses are sweet and the other workers there are really friendly, its like one big family. Also joann does the best she can to help you out. I don't think you can find this sort of service in any other clinic.

Now moving on the the nose. I used rib for my entire nose. One really good thing i have to have to have to mention is that the incison site is hidden. Its good that dr lee uses this technique. He makes the incison under your breast and uses an endoscope to find the 7th rib to harvest which takes great time but is worth it if you hit the beach in your bikini. I don't think any other surgeon does this since it takes too long for them and they make make other money with that time. But dr lee is different, he has this thing where he goes for like satisfaction or something. He doesnt seem to care about the money, he seems to just have some passion for doing the surgeries he does.

Many, many, many surgeons will talk you out of using rib. Reason is that alot of them dont have the skill so they would prefer to be on the safe side and use implants. They might try to convince you that theres complications and all this other stuff but then when you ask them about implants, remember to ask if they can guarantee it for a life time. Because no surgeon in the world will be able to say silicon or goretex can last a life time. Implants are good for people who know and are prepared to go through another surgery maybe 4 or even 20 years down the track, but theres no telling when that extrusion or contraction will start. It happens when it happens and noone really knows when.

So moving on the downside of using rib. Yes, there are down sides. The bad thing is that during the first 2 nights you will feel very very very uncomfortable. The pain is bearable just dont try any sit ups. But the discomfort is pretty high. However after that faze you will be fine and recovering faster and faster as time goes. So be prepared for this, but other than that i cant really think of any bad reasons of not using rib, after all it is a part of your body your just...hrmmmz shifting it to your nose ahaha. You can also tell people your not plastic like truthfully because rib is not plastic.

I asked for a really high height so he gave me 6mm. Im just hoping it becomes more symetrical but just looking at it it looks symetrical but when i feel it its not perfect straight. So thats the only worry ill have.

In an all honest opinion, i do think VIP is worth the visit. even if your just going for a consult add them to your list because other doctors in seoul will convnce you to use silicon or goretex. Why? Simple, because its one of the fastest money makers. Shoving a piece of plastic up someones nose doesnt take long compared to finding a rib through an endoscope, harvesting it, shaping it then finally adding it to your nose. These rib procedures are not financially profiting for big clinics, its much easier to just deal with 10 silicon patients a day and make triple the money of two rib surgeries. So its quite rare that youd come across doctors who use rib in seoul. Other than VIP, onyoung and dr jung i cant really think of any.

Im trying to remain as objective as i can ahaha, pretty hard when you get pampered at VIP lol. With their daily facials, hair wash and free food ahaha. Anyway, seriously speaking they are honestly a good clinic and im posting this to let you know there are options out there other than silicon and goretex, im deeply suprised at how i oversaw that in my primary nose job. The doctor at samsung talked me out of it. But im glad that i used it for my revision, well thus so far.

I'll keep updating. So, so far iam happy, but the final result comes in months later, until then. i'll try remain reserved and express opinions that arent impulsive.

BTW, I have three questions. Can anybody shed some light?

1. If I use rib cartilage for the whole of my nose, can I do piggy nose in the future?
2. I wear thick frame glasses (short sighted) and can I continue to wear that if I will also have my bridge done?
3. Do people change their passport photos after surgery?

I don't understand everybody's preoccupation with the 'piggy nose' pose. Is it a particulary attractive look? Do you all do it many times a day as you go about your daily lives? Is the ability to give everybody a glimpse deep inside your nostrils an important factor in the decision of whether or not to get your nose done?

No, you can't do it once you have a rib nose, but then again I think I can count the number of times I've done it in my entire lifetime on one hand - nay, one finger.

After all, you are sacrificing certain things in your quest for a more pleasing appearance; a flexible, squashy nose being one of them. Therefore, you have to decide - do you want to have a nicer face for the rest of your life, or do you want to be able to make a piggy nose for the rest of your life?

Hi,

need help on a question.

When is it safe to conduct facial after a rhinoplasty+tipolasty surgery?

Im emphasizing on the point where by they have to squeeze/drag out blackheads/clogged pimples on the nose. The pressure is intensive.

Pls advice, thanks

Those were my thoughts exactly- nicely said! You are too funny! I have never made a piggy nose, and I can't think of any reason why I would ever want to. For those of you who like making a piggy nose, why is it so important?

i used ear cartilage n i was wondering if for ppl who also used ear cartilage if their nose became really stiff after like.. a year, two years.. not trying to piss anyone off but yeah its not easy to kiss ur boyfriend if u have to worry about him hurting ur nose.

To shed some light regarding the piggy nose thing, I read that the reporters have been bugging this korean actress about her nose enhancement, so to refute their suspicion, she did a piggy nose to prove that she didn't.

I've seen similiar questions posted in doctor's Q&A too. L shape silicon definitely cannot & I don't think rib or ear cartilage can too.
