silverash Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hi Vivi, Then how about yourself? Do you agree with their recommendation? What is it about your rhinoplasty that you are not liking? Do you think it is too straight for your bridge and the tip is wrong? So wrong that they need an entire revision? I felt that although they are the specialist, their opinions are from a very asthetic standpoint and might not necessary mean it looks the best on you. In their mind its all about ratios, the dimensions, degrees etc etc. Eventually it should be you deciding what you feel is best on you. Did u do a rib bridge and tip?

silverash Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 DR Lee from VIP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izora Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I suppose it's still a lot of work for the doctor even if he doesn't harvest a new piece of rib cartilage. A few doctors told me that removing the cartilage is the easiest part of surgery. I've seen pictures of noses with warped rib cartilage, so I'm guessing that warping can occur even after surgery...? Doctors seem to disagree when warping actually occurs. I wouldn't worry about it if it hasn't happened yet. How long has it been since you had your first nose job?

summer82 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi, I feel exactly the same way as you do, that's why I want to use Rib cartilage for my whole nose, eventhough it's my first nosejob and rather spend more money, just to be on the safe side. After further consideration, I think I'll go to Korea for my nosejob instead.

fishball Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi all~!~!~! ^O^ I am new here. I am posting here because I am planning to go Korea for plastic surgeries beginning August. I have already written to a few clinics. ^^ Wondering if anyone wants to go with me? Am looking for a buddy. I can speak a little Korean, been to Korea many times and have many Korean friends. We can stay at my friend's house too, to save money... Hehe~!~!~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyitem88 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hey thanks everyone for the reply. O & young website only has korean I'm going to go to BK in dec/jan this year to have my eyes done and am planning to have a consultation with dr Jung about my nose. If I have enough money will get both done end of this year and if not then will save for the nose another year. Do you know how O& young or vip compares to Dr Jung (he seems like a safe choice).

chlorogeous Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Is it okay to just have the tip defined and alar base narrowed without the bridge being worked on? As much as I would like to have an enhanced nose that would be the best it could be (i.e. including bridge work) I don't want any foreign material in my body because of the potential long term effects. Do you think it's worth a change without bridge work? Long term, is it generally work on the bridge that causes the problems? Assuming the tip is built up using cartilage successfully, what are any potential long term problems? Are there any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izora Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I don't know about other doctors, but Dr. Lee from VIP uses K wire to prevent warping if your cartilage is more prone to warping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbgurly Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi All!! I am planning to do a revision of my nose job which was done 14 years ago and am thinking of either Korea or Taiwan ( leaning more to Korea). I believe like many other silent readers, I tried to gather much information from the threads and slowly conclude my decision to where should I do it! But, till now, I have a whole list of names and clinic but no conclusion, only confusion!!! dr Jung, migo, OZ, VIP.... It will be great if anyone of you can help me Budget: 4K - 7K USD Current : Silicon L-shape implant Revision: Anything else Plan: To go from Mid-End Nov - Mid - Dec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbgurly Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I mean can join me,Please PM me so we can discuss more. I am 32 female, heading to korea from Singapore. I plan to bring my 2 children along, I know it is crazy but I have no choice. I hope my mother can join me there so she can help to take care of them. So, if anyone else can join us it will be great as I am afraid my mother might not be able to handle them alone in a foreign land. Actually the more the better.
