mango_slice Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi Natz86, thank you for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I think Dean Toriumi's reputation is a bit too "controversial" and fractured for me to consider him... is it true that he has ruined a LOT of noses with too much rib? Also, I just learned today from my surgeon that he used an I-shaped implant, not L-shaped... with plenty of ear cartilage at the tip to help prevent against extrusion. I know that is much better, but the bridge pain and scarring still bothers me, so I want to get it fixed. If you didn't do any tip work / added cartilage, then you should be okay with removing the implant! Probably a good idea to listen to your surgeon and wait to see a clearer result. But it shouldn't be too difficult to remove the implant if you choose... good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamz Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 i'm planning to go sometime around june or july but definitely sometime this yr if not in the summer. i want a "my nose but better" result lol if that made any sense. my main concern is the bridge and i might also get mandibular or v line osteotomy if i like the surgeon's b&a pics =) i've visited that site before but thb, every doctor will tell u that they're really confident that they're a good surgeon and will give you amazing results. that's why it's up to us to do proper research!

sesamekiss Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi Guys! wow been a while since I replied in this forum !! I thought I would share my consultation I had with a surgeon here in the UK ~ was with a clinic called MYA and the Dr is called Dr Gonschoir - I think he is German but apparently he is a "God" of open rhino's here in the UK so idk... anyway - got to the clinic in Birmingham (about two hour drive from where I live) and waited for the surgeon to see me. When he saw me, he was nice, not too friendly, quite professional and very to the point, which I like. He let my boyfriend sit in with me and told me to sit on the seat on the outside, so he could easily walk around and examine my nose. Then the consultation started. He looked at my nose, asked me what I wanted to do to my nose and asked me how long I want to do it for. He then felt my nose and my tip and he asked me to explain in further detail what I wanted. I showed him two pictures (one of Hyori and one of Park Bom) of what I wanted kind of, like tall, with a nice tip - not too pointly, slightly rounded but more defined and I wanted a narrow tip. After looking at the pictures I showed him and further examining me nose he suggested: - open tip plasty - shaving of hump - wide bridge reduction - heighten radix using cartilage from the tip He said I had a good nose to work with as my skin wasn't as thick or "asian" like as I thought it was and is actually like mix between caucasian and asian nose, which surprised me, but he said he would be able to shape it nicely and do the bridge well as well. He does a lot of work on Indian-Asian people, bu when I asked about Chinese, he said not as many only a few each year - which irked me as obviously I would deffo want a surgeon who works well on Far East Asian noses. But he said to me that though he doesnt work on a lot of FE-Asian ppl's noses, my nose isn't typically Asian anyway so it didnt matter... he never mentioned anything about inserting anything in the tip - only taking stuff out... which also irked me... but overall, I felt happy after, especially because my boyfriend was there and got to listen too - but if I am honest, I probably wouldnt go to him... but it was good to see what he thought of my nose! He also said i had a fairly symmetrical nose but one nostril is only slightly bigger than the other lols. As it stands though, Asia is still my number one with VIP, ITEM and Banobagi being my top three (In Korea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexethan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Have you thought about O&Young? Any input? It's one of my top 2. Thanks. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milyway Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If I am not mistaken, I think I consulted him in London some time ago...i think he was the one with the medical group at Harley St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milyway Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I read somewhere that you are going for eyes revision, ya? Or is it for nose? See Teuims because the doc for nose is friendly and he speaks good English but I think teuims is better known for eyes, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
