rohnin Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 great, now the question of a flexible nose. how do you keep it flexible? what techniques are best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainsley Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I hear ya! One ENT specialist told me that the body will usually try to reject foreign materials, such as silicone & goretex. He'd also seen plenty of shifted implants. I'd rather go through a longer healing process with costal cartilage than get an instant gratification nose that may cause future issues. But I'm concerned that I'll turn out like one of Dr. Toriumi's nightmare cases. I'm really stressed out about this. My husband said I could either go by myself this year or wait until next year so he could be with me for 3-4 weeks. I'm too afraid to go by myself! I'd probably end up on the news: Drugged plastic surgery patient gone wild! She was last seen stumbling along the highway, shouting for pineapple!

sesamekiss Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I went to BK to do my eyelid revision, so did my sister and my mother (after they saw my eyes) ~ they turned out really natural lokoing, so not OTT big and deep! He is a good surgeon but people say he is very blunt, which is very true, but I lik that he doesnt sugar coat everything. He speaks very good English and he has nurses that speak good English too. Also he asks if you want deep or natural and also outer or inner fold etc. So hes good like that. 2-3 days?! AISH ~ its been almost two weeks maybe from the first one and I have since sent like 2 more >__< I really want a reply because rib cartilage surgery is like really interesting me!! haha Dont worry, I am still trying to convince my family to come with me but if not I shall keep you posted! Where you travelling from ?? I am in the UK ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterskin Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Reported silicone or goretex do had higher chances of revision due infection and shifting of silicone~ for naturally rib will be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohnin Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 yeah i just read about silicone. gore tex won't shift though, it's just harder to remove later if things change, right? i just don't want a scar on my chest. i got a recommendation from ITEM (yay, got the response!) for septal cartliage. i wonder if it would make my nose feel weird if i feel inside..

junna Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi. I am going for double eyelid surgery on 27th Feb in Vietnam and possible rhinoplasty. My vietnamese girlfriendis bringing me there. Will update you when I get back to Singapore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterskin Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Yes. You are right. Goretex is hard to remove as the tissue grow within sheets and depend how many layers. Imagine you bandage/plaster your wound and remove it. It tear your skin right? Same to goretex, it tear your tissue when removed. And need time to heal. Goretex will shift unless it's silicone wrapped with goretex. IMHO, silicone is like at material that will wear and tear one day~ that's why I totally opt out this. And goretex also~ foreign not welcomed to me. Self rib is my option is because of 100% DNA match to my body. Infection is not possible and is like 0% chances. Shifting is possible only like 3% chances consulted by dr hsu and dr kao and others. You may want to opt for donor rib if you want to. Septal cartilage is to lengthen your nose and tip but you still need support on the bridge using rib, silicone or goretex which ever material you choose.

kain Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 goretex has a low infection rate# infection is possbile with rib cartilage, but the infection rate for rib cartilage is probably 1% or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
