deliriousgirl Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 had mine done in the States. I dont plan to go to Banobagi because they do not specilize in rib. I need a revision because of deviated septum and scar deformity, and irregularities of the alar.
deliriousgirl Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Congrats !!! You finally did it...I am so envious. did Dr. Lee use your rib for paranasal? he recommended rib for me. i was wondering if anyone here had other materials for this?
taeyang123 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Hey may I ask where in the states and the name of the plastic surgeon you went to??? What materials did you use for ure first rhinoplasty?
angelfern Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 No need, i just popped by to VIP the other day, was in seoul for holiday. Joanne recommended paranasal to me too. we don't have to forsake the original rib in own nose, just take a little part of 9th rib, she said 1cm scar.
megoreng Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Ya I had paranasal n columella base too, all using rib. Shall talk more bout in my review, jumbling thoughts don't know where to start so I guess e best time to write would b on flight since I've finished most of e movies tat I wanna watch. Paranasal implant can silicon too.
kireihana Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 CONGRATS!!! Get/feel better soon!!! kain...YOU'RE NEXT!!! Can't wait for your post-op postings!!!
milkyway52 Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 What did you do with your columella? Did it needed to be corrected?
kain Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 thanks,you look pretty good yourself i'm having rib cartilage for my nose. dr lee said i might need alarplasty and osteotomy but he will decide during the operation after he has augmented the bridge and tip. then i'll be having paranasals and a sliding genioplasty (chin augmentation) to correct my protruding mouth. its more apparent from the profile view than the front view your outfit was nice. if i can't figure out the washer/dryer, i may have to wear the same clothes for a few days =/ how far post-op are you btw? does your nose/rib hurt? is larry wai?
kain Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 if you wanna go sightseeing or shoppinghttp://en.seoulcitybus.com/sub.php?PN=course_circulation&mainNum=2&subNum=11 take a taxi to Gwanghwamun ($10) pay $10 adult admission for a downtown tour. get off at whichever stops you want to visit, do your thing, and then go back to the stop and wait for the next bus and show them your ticket. buses arrive at half hour intervals there was a backlley in insadong filled with korean restaurants. so $30 transport (taxi there, bus ticket, taxi back) +$ for food, shopping, admission to certain attractions have fun
megoreng Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Ohh! I HAD e same kind of nose as u did! He did osteotomy on me too. I'm leaving tml morn, wun hv a chance to visit u in recovery rm. Jus came back from myong dong for sm last min shopping. =p I'm now 12 days into my nose n 5 days into my dbl eyelid. Tats y all r swelling n bruises. So far recovery for nose n rib been gd. Nt as painful as I thought. =) I'm nt sure if Larry is wai, bt Larry is e guy I met when I was at VIP. He had consultation tat day n was shopping for a surgeon, so thoughT can get him to share y he choose VIP. He say he read TPF some times. Think he fr CND too, u can check w Joann. =)
