kkim120 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Are you serious? I was going to start wearing glasses as a part of my transformation... Guess that won't be happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davids Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 It really depends on what you're getting done. So you need to ask your doctor. I had lateral osteotomy too (broken nose side bones) so I couldn't have the glass hinges sitting on my broken bones or it would change shape. So it really depends.

odnok Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hey! I'm intereted in bb in rhinoplasty as well as I read that they can do natural not a dramatic one. I was wondering which doctor and wgat kind of rhinopasty are you going to do there? Also i found this for you. In general, your nose has less natural protection from the sun right after rhinoplasty. All the tissue was just elevated off of the internal structure of the nose, including the bone and cartilage, and blood vessels were coagulated in order to do this. There fore we weakened the nose's natural defense since we weakened its blood supply. This blood supply grows back , but it can take quite a bit of time to happen. In the first 6 weeks, your nose is less naturally resistant to UV rays and is more likely to burn and get discolored. Also, since your nose is mostly numb early on, its less likely that you are to notice the problem until its too late. I recommend you stay out of the sun as much as possible in the first 6 weeks after surgery. If you are in the sun for short periods of time, stay in the shade, and wear a big hat and a good sunblock. Do not wear sun glasses in the first 6 weeks, or any glasses for that matter, if osteotomies were performed, (breaking of the nasal bones). You can get your nose wet as soon as the splint comes off, but I would be careful about chlorinated pools early on until the incision is fully healed an more mature, as the chlorine can irritate the incision. The gym and anything that increases you blood pressure will increase the swelling of your nose and delay your healing time. I recommend 6 weeks for this as well. Sometimes it can take longer for your skin to mature, even a year and more in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikapikachu Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I can't wear contacts either since I'll be doing double eyelid as well ): omg guess there's nothing I can do about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikapikachu Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hey! Thanks for the info (: I decided to choose Banobagi because it has good reputation, though they charge alot more than other clinics, but I believe it'll worth the money (: I might be choosing Dr.Lee, he's known to be good in doing eyelids and nose. Guess I'll be using ear cartilage, I heard that it's a safer material with lesser side effects. Can't be totally sure about it until I met the doctor. Have you thought of using ear cartilage too?

tkw Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I used ear cartilage for my primary. Now I can hear something like fluid moving in my ear when I run/jump. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odnok Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Sweet. I heard from another form that the consultations can lie in which surgeons has that speciality. So yeah you choosing dr lee as well makes me feel reassured. But I'm keeping my options open and try going to three clinics. One obviously being BB. For the bridge im going to use silicon, primary. And the tip ear cartilage make the tip pointier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilacbunny Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks for replying to me with encouraging words! I guess what worries me the most, is reading other doctors saying most of the swollen should be gone about 80% after the 3rd month. It's almost 3 months for me as well, and the tip is still not at the height where I wished it would be Although I have heard people say their tips dropped after 5-6 month, and I guess it varies from person to person. I really don't want to do a revision thus I am keeping my hopes up. I would pm you my doctor but then I guess new members cannot pm? Anyhow I would gladly give you his name if the system allows pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacbunny Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I have met someone who used ear cartilage for their nose surgery, and he says he hardly noticed a difference, unless you touch that part of the ear where surgery is performed. It most likely will not happen to you after you are completely healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yky Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 maybe you went for a swim and got water in your ears? When that happens to me I drain the water with a cone tissue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davids Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Was your implant primarily ear cartilage? I only used a bit of ear cartilage to cushion the septal cartilage tip augmentation but I'm not experiencing anything you mentioned. It was however very painful (my ear) for many months. But now back to normal and now I can fold it back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 tkw the cartilage was not taken from inside your ear. In fact nothing was touched from your inner ear. The incision site is always from the back of the ear. You probably accidently had water inside there from a shower or swim or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim120 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Well, even if it's 15mil, that would be under my $15k USD budget, so I think I would be alright... Although to be honest, cheaper is better. Tbh, April 31 isn't quite at the top of my list. I have high hopes for View clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magdalenarose Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 How would one know if the skin of their nose is thin? I feel like the skin of my nose bridge is too thin so an implant would be so obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
