juuu Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I'm going to get a consultation with doctor Etai Funk in Houston next month. This is his website and I like the results from the ethnic rhinoplasty section: http://www.funkfacialplastics.com/ethnic-rhinoplasty/ What do you guys think? I'm planning to use rib. I want a higher bridge but not too high like Caucasian nose bridges, just high enough for my face. A defined tip and a alar base reduction. I can't wait to get this done and document my journey to post it here on this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cestlavie123 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I think if you feel that you are attractive, then maybe you shouldn't do it. But I do understand wanting to be prettier. To avoid sounding overtly cocky, I never had difficulty getting men, and I think the whole thing of getting plastic surgery for yourself is bull **** because you ultimately want to look pretty for someone (or society). Society is the entity that dictates who is pretty. If your self-confidence is low, plastic surgery is just a temporary fix. You will feel happy for a short time, but then you will continue wanting more procedures unless you have a really strong mind, well from my experience at least. I did get immediate satisfaction and I think i became more attractive, but that only lasted about for a couple years. Most people didn't even know I got something done actually since I am around a lot of non-Asians. I still haven't gotten a revision because I'm deathly scared. I think no matter how good your surgeon is, you will have to get it done later down the road. I have found that plastic surgery does not age well, and maintenance is a must. If you can accept this, then I would say go for it. I'm sorry if I sound negative to readers. But after having gotten my nose done 6 years ago, I would say in my pov, just be happy with what you got if you are already pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 rhinoplasty has the highest revision rate. The reasons could range from: 1. botched surgery Extrusions, severe deviation, infections. This is relating to the poor skill of the surgeon 2. unrealistic expectations of the patient Stop showing plastic surgeons pics of celebrities and asking for that nose. Doing so is beyond foolish. You can only enhance your own nose, not obtain someone else's. Surgeons will often just nod and tell you, yes we can get it close to it, thus feeding the unrealistic expectations 3. mild imperfections Patients may want their nose a bit higher or feel their nose is too high or tip not projected enough 4. Inadequate communication. This point is directly related to point number 2 and 3. Never ever assume your surgeon knows that you want. Your perception of natural and his perception of natural may be completely different. Your perception of "high" or "sharp" may be completely different to his ideal. The most accurate way of conveying your desires is to a) Photoshop yourself in a REALISTIC MANNER and b) Using intelligent language to cover any discrepancies. For example, when I wanted a defined and sharp tip. I won't just say I want a defined nose or I want a sharp nose. I would say "I would like you to maximise my tip projection to the degree which my pre existing nose structure allows". This statement itself covers 2 important key points: aesthetic and health related concerns. That is, I want a sharp projected tip without risk of damaging my tissues. Using this kind of language along with photoshopped pictures is the most accurate way to convey your desires to the surgeon. To add, if you are well researched, you can also tell the surgeon the method you want to achieve to maximum tip projection. In my case I requested a shield graft plus alloderm to lower the collumela to obtain the ideal 3 point structural ratio of collumela : alar : frontal tip projection. Note that this method works for my nose structure, but may not be suitable for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00little Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Just thought I would post this video of a Youtube beauty vlogger who went to get rhinoplasty and fat grafting in Seoul. I think she went to BK.https://youtu.be/_b84c9HnQqY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiledsoviet Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Where are some of the best rhinoplasty clinics in Korea? I so far have inquired TLPS, The Line, Pitangui, and Wonjin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker45 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 if something goes wrong in Korea you may wake up on a flight home, disfigured and in a lot of pain. The emergency resources in the UK and Germany seem a little safer to me. Just my opinion, Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodium Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yes, I did! I had a droopy nose with a hump and I was okay with the height of my nose, so I had my hump shaved down, an osteotomy instead of placing an implant so that I wouldn't have open roof deformity and tip-plasty to give my nose a slope and lift up my droopy tip.

qq27 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 @ K Couture: Thanks for the very detailed post u last published. I wish more people who go for nose jobs are more well informed about the risks involved, especially when making requests to the doctors. I'm personally very touched by how much effort u out into raising awareness about PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiledsoviet Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Seems like the more clinics I ask the more complicated and expensive the procedures are. I first asked TL and The Line and they gave me a price for simple rhinoplasty and alar reduction; when I asked other clinics like Grand, Wonjin, and Cinderella they recommend the same procedures but sometimes more and they charge more too. Any ideas of what I should do? Or is it best to pay them all a visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexanderdavid Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 dont go to both Grand and Wonjin they are banned among the forumers here their review are really bad ,grand is the one that got so many complains!!(according to what i had read in this forum b4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiledsoviet Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah it seems that way. I'm also looking at JW and Dream. Right now from price and reputation I'm leaning towards JW and The Line (though TLPS was the cheapest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiledsoviet Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Also I know Dr. Park from Dream is very reputable in rhinoplasty but what about Dr. Song in the other Dream clinic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love-spring Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Does anyone here did rhinoplastry with other surgeons in Dream Medical before? I was told that Dr Park only does close rhinoplasty and in an event whereby I am not allowed to do close rhinoplastyy, I will need to get it done with other surgeons (Dr Jeong or Dr Cho). Any reviews on these other 2 doctors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
