surgeryaddict Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 why i ultimately feel that dr wang ting from china is not the best choice 1) he is not from the two top china universities, namely tsinghua and another ( i forgot the name ). these two medical faculties are the best in china. 2) he seems to self-advertise a lot on his website, claiming hes top 5 . who said he's top 5? himself? 3) what is his qualification? is he ear-nose-throat , or is he a plastic surgeon? or is he a dermatologist or internist? can more light be shed? 4) typically the best doctors are available in the maincity ( though there are exceptions ). as we know bei jing is the capital city ( and is a primate city ) A primate city is the leading city in its country or region, disproportionately larger than any others in the urban hierarchy. the primate cities in china are beijing, shanghai, guangzhou, etc. who's heard of da lian? hmm, questions are raised. BEIJING Population (2010)[2] • Municipality 19,612,368 • Density 1,167.3160/km2 (3,023.3346/sq mi) DA LIAN Population (2009)[1] • Sub-provincial city 6,170,000 • Density 466.1/km2 (1,207.2/sq mi) Best surgeons in korea are typically based in seoul, korea. best surgeons in china, are not the exception., same goes for thailand. 5) any reviews from purseforum, sgexpats, that are written in english and are credible ( i.e. by members who are active and have lots of posts ) and with pictures? none. 6) china, as you know, is dodgy.. that itself is a big reason, but lets be realistic 7) what medical papers has he published on this subject matter? perhaps those interested in him can look into these large question marks before jumping the gun. i feel that the korean surgeons and dr kao from taiwan are much more trustworthy and reputable.

jainsley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks, Sesame! I'm on page 437 of the 2nd thread. It seems like HHer sent information to other members via email; if anyone knows her, please ask her to check-in here so that I can beg for a detailed VIP review. These threads have been so helpful!!! Thank you all for contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taeyang123 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 if u go onto his website there should be a page written in english explaining where he went to school, what programs and doctors he has studied under (including hospitals), what certifications he has, and the boards he is part of, along with some material he has published. it is a bit scary that he is not in a major city like Beijing or shanghai but if he has all the credentials and talent (which he seems to have) why not go to him? i dont think the fact tht he is not in a major city would deter me from going to him. at the end of the day it is up to all of us to do the research, whether the surgeon is in a known city or not. there are many un-certified plastic surgery clinics in seoul that we all have to look out for.

jainsley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Do most of you correspond with the offices (in Korea) via email and then schedule your surgery? Or do you fly over for an in-person consultation first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohnin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 so i'm planning my rhinoplasty and will be in Seoul from March 12 (a Monday) until March 20 leaving in the morning. is that a safe enough time? they said 7 days at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainsley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 That's great, what are you having done? I plan on having a rhinoplasty with costal cartilage, which might require a longer stay. I'd like to stay for at least 2-3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohnin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 well mine won't require costal cartilage, so just rhinoplasty with maybe auricular cartilage or some sort of artificial implant? i wish i had more time but want to be safe. also, now i'm having trouble deciding between ITEM clinic and Banobagi!

surgeryaddict Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 china medical university is not known in china... the top medical faculties in china are tsinghua and i think beijing university ( cant remember , but tsinghua is the best, never heard of china medical university ). i chose the surgeon for my de revision in korea and one factor was the university. dr kim from bk dongyang went to seoul national uni, the best uni in korea, compared to another doctor who charges higher and went to another uni, which has no name. so i hope this can shed some light about selection processes that i employ. also, photos can be edited , so please dont be too astonished about dr wang ting;s photos on his website, they can be edited ( hey even VIP clinic photoshops their pictures to make it less swollen and more refined ) finally, going to dr wang ting was never even on my agenda and those who want to jump the gun and go ahead, i say all the best and let us know what happens to you. i feel that dr kao is better, and i have heard first and second-hand accounts of his good work.

surgeryaddict Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 he is not from a good/recognised medical school. i think the credentials from dr kao of taiwan is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kain Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 dr wang also has 3 videos where he demonstrates how flexible his noses are after surgery. i doubt those were edited also, med school qualifications have more to do with technical skills than aesthetics. a surgeon from a top med school is guaranteed to have more technical knowledge, but that does not necessarily mean that they can make a more beautiful nose. they aren't graded on how well their cosmetic surgeries turn out after all. thats just my 2 cents, but i think dr wang is a viable choice for ppl who want rib cartilage. i had a hard time finding b&a pics from dr kao. if you ask by email, he won't give any. and he has maybe a dozen low resolution pics on his blog. are there any b&a pics on the sg expats forum? i haven't gone through that forum, but i would be interested if there were b&a pics of his work.
