Asian Nose Job 3

[cloudbusting]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a clinic that specializes in rhinoplasty for bulbous noses? From all the B&A pictures I've seen, I haven't come across a case quite like mine. My nose is really bulbous, with lots of thick fatty tissue surrounding the tip.

My nose is similar to this persons from Dream's website: https://www.e-dream.co.kr/static/ko/images/info/img_nose_23.jpg

It has become increasingly difficult for me to compile a list of clinics I'd like to visit. Many of the models featured in various websites have slim noses to begin with. Starting to think that my southeast asian nose type is uncommon in Korea.

I greatly appreciate any suggestions! ^^

if ure nose is like that of the one in the picture you linked, its no where near as bad as you make it out to be and is very common and is easily corrected. This is what a bulbous nose actually is.

cases like these would require some excision of the soft tissue to achieve defined projection. Too often, asian people wanting to get rhinoplasty assume their nose is bulbous when it is merely flat and wide. If you compare your nose to the examples in those links, hopefully you can get an idea of whether your nose is truly bulbous and then seek out appropriate rhino methods. Because if you can avoid unnecessary tissue excision from your nose, you certainly want to avoid that due to complications involved.

Unfortunately my nose is like the ones in the pictures...possibly even worse!!!

I have a short, bulbous nose with super wide alars :rain:

I my mum, but why did I have to get her nose?!?! LOL If i had my dad's nose I wouldn't be here

@cloudbusting: PM me your kakao deets, if u have them, i've been researching on naver for a clinic that can do osteo and alars well. tbh it's hard to find. i think the best surgeons for osteo is probably in Iran. I know many arabs that went there for rhino (almost all had some sort of bone shaving - lateral osteo or hump etc), but as a unmarried female, it's unwise and highly not recommended to travel there alone

Thanks for replying

My nose is definitely bulbous. I e-mailed my photos to several clinics, and all have replied stating that I have a bulbous nose, lol. The tip looks like it has a large ball in it. It looks like a slightly smaller version of this one, and my tip is larger and more round.

K, what are the complications of unnecessary tissue excision? TIA!

Hmm, I don't need osteo, my nose is bulbous but not bony, if that makes sense. There's just a ton of thick fatty tissue, but when I squeeze my nose, there isn't much bone. My nasal bridge isn't wide. My alars are big though.

I'm set on going to Korea. It's actually my layover as I'm going to another country near by a couple weeks after my procedures. Iran.. that sounds like an adventure, lol.

I've PM'd you!

internal scarring which can make the tip lopsided, or if too much is excised it can cause an indent which would need to be corrected with a filler. The worse is if your implant protrudes through the skin due to weakening of the tissue. For individuals with bulbous noses it is best to be conservative should excision be required.

The Dr. Wang Ting Report

Two weeks after surgery and here are some highlights:

Clinic in Dalian and staff:
Please know that this is not several floors with luxurious offices and shiny marble, but rather one floor with a few offices, exam rooms, recovery area and one operating room that is all quite nice but more of a boutique clinic. There are several nurses, managers, four doctors and two training doctors presently. The upside to the smaller size is that everyone there knows you personally, no doctor "switching" and you are treated like a family member, very personalized care. Bridgette, the office manager, speaks fluent English and gladly takes care of every little detail regarding your stay from airport pick up and translation cards to arranging food preferences - she is so helpful and invaluable for those who do not speak Mandarin. I was truly grateful for the staff and doctors as I was really far from home and by myself.

Dr. Wang:
This doctor is very passionate about his work and has such a strong interest in the aesthetics of noses (and good with other facial areas as well such as eyes, fat grafting, jaw area). If you want rib rhinoplasty, you should consider Dr. Wang as he specializes in this area performing at least one of these surgeries per day and perhaps another procedure as well so he is highly experienced. His main objective was to create the best-looking nose that would make me happy. My first consultation with him in Dallas was a little over an hour, my second consultation was over two hours when I first arrived in China, and had I wanted to discuss further he would have... there was no rush and no trying to sell more procedures. As a doctor, he is compassionate and knowledgeable and professional. As a surgeon, he is skilled and has a nice artistic flair for facial features.

My surgery:
After much discussion, we determined that donor rib cartilage was the best option for my lifestyle, health and pain tolerance (very low, do not like being uncomfortable). I had my bridge augmented, tip refined, alar base reduction and narrowing of the bottom area, no osteotomy was needed which Dr. Wang decided during surgery. Recovery was easy and fast with almost no bruising, no pain except for the little IV needle. Surgery went smoothly as the doctor and staff know exactly what they're doing and have the routine down to a science.

Emails:
Between consultations, Dr. Wang and I emailed and he responded in a day or two to most of my questions. I think we communicated well because my emails were brief and concise, which is manageable for him considering his frenetic schedule. His manager answers many emails but will not reply to medically-related questions that are more appropriate for the doctor. Again, this office is inundated with patients, consultations and emails so it would be impossible to give a detailed consultation over email even with photos. Much easier if Dr. Wang sees you in person, of course. Try using [email protected] and send twice if you don't get a reply in a reasonable time.

Pricing:
Since Dr. Wang saw me, he was able to give me a range for cost. I researched several doctors and clinics in Korea in the past months and found that his cost in middle range in comparison, but less that a highly-reputable surgeon in NY or LA (US).

Results:
Two weeks out and looks wonderful! I wanted a better nose than what I had, but did not want everyone to know that I had work done; I now have a more Eurasian nose with nice bridge height but not overly high, which is what I was seeking. Not posting photos because of the nature of my profession and potential clients researching me. However, the pictures on his website are accurate as I met several current patients at his clinic while there, all with unique and pretty or handsome noses that fit each individual face, and his nurse was gorgeous sitting at the front desk on the first day I arrived (she's on his site).

Finally:
I will post a really brief follow-up on the progress of what my nose looks like in a few weeks as it takes about 6 weeks to see the full results.

Hope this helps anyone who is seriously researching doctors and good luck!

Glad you're happy with your new nose, CrissyQ! Congrats. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind, could you also share some details on the decision to use donor rib versus autologous?

I'm also considering using homologous cartilage, not due to fear of pain but rather an aversion to anything too invasive. (The idea of having my chest cut into or even being put into a temporary coma under anaesthesia is nerve wracking.) Are there any particular caveats to be aware of?

Hi Mrs Lucky, when in May are you going for the surgery and have you decided on the clinic?

 

[imthatasian]

anyone going to korea in early september for PS? I'm planning to go there at that time to have my rhinoplasty and willing to share a place or just have company. Scary to go alone lol

 

[crissyq]

Susaki, I haven't posted any photos for privacy reasons (professional) and, in fact, did not take very many before or after.

Forestfires, both Dr. Wang and I came to the conclusion donor rib was best for me for a few different reasons: I play competitive tennis 2x/week (for fun) and was afraid I might experience soreness or pain that might adversely affect my game, I'm mid-40's so my bones are less calcified (not sure if that's the correct term, but weaker), and I am hugely against pain especially elective and a nervous wreck in general.

I think the possibility of warping and/or slight, slight possibility of infection is the same with both donor and autologous. Major difference is the recovery as I basically walked around the next day with little bruising and nothing else. With autologous, you have to contend with the harvested site (stitches, soreness) as well as your nose.

The additional cost for the donor rib was well worth it for someone in my circumstance.

Hi, just wondering if it is okay to do two procedures at the same time. Eg, Nose and eyes. Is it safe?

 

[jinyip]

Jw quoted me

The surgery price will be roughly KRW6,200,000~KRW6,700,000 for the nose(secondary) and KRW4,130,000 for the eyes including lateral canthoplasty.
Lateral canthoplasty itself costs roughly KRW1,340,000

reasonable?
