Hey Karime, I think it's a great idea we should try to hang out given that it'll be Christmas season (my favourite holiday!) and my birthday falls on New Year's Day (which will be spent recovering in Seoul ).

Maybe we can all go eat pumpkin porridge and go shopping together so it'll not be too lonely for us all??? n_n

Do you mind telling me when is your travel period and where is your accomodation?

p.s. I like the reality show in making idea!

Happy Birthday in advance Ana! yes, you guys should totally try to hang togheter!

Zoe told me last year, there were 4 girls from all over the world who did facial countouring together and they spent Christmas together.. THey were all bandaged up, but they could care less about being ugly - so they were bleeding, bandaid up togehter , but still had a great time and laughed their asses off. those girls really bonded and becuase of that, Zoe said last Christmas was a special one.

Cost was about 5mil won.

After several online consultation with various doctors and reading up more, I feel like more is needed to be done to enhance my existing features. My goal is to harmonise my existing features to make improvements on my face and to achieve a cute look (rather than a sharp chiselled look) if possible.

I has initally planned to undergo eye surgeries (epi, lateral canthoplasty and double eyelids) only but now I think I need to undergo these procedures to achieve my goal:


Nose - I have a low bridge and bulbous tip so am considering alar base reduction, osteoplasty and either septal cartilage/rib rhinoplasty.


Eyes - As above. But I'm now quite wary about epi as a Thai surgeon and a Korean surgeon cautioned me regarding scarring (which is my worst fear for eye surgery) as it looks like I have "thicker" upper lids from my photos. Thai surgeon is against epi for me, I'm not sure if he's just conservative or epi is really not suitable for my eyes. Korean surgeon mentioned if I follow his post-op instruction diligently and apply the scar cream that is provided, scarring will go away gradually.

I will be meeting two other surgeons in Thailand and Japan for consultation (to gain a second opinion) in the next two weeks but I should be doing all my surgeries in Korea next month. I guess I will have to go for a face-to-face consultation before I come to any conclusion for my eyes.

Face - I have a wide face and prominent mandible so am considering mandible and zygoma reduction OR v-line and zygoma reduction (many consultants/surgeons suggested fat removal as well if I undergo zygoma reduction but I'm quite reluctant as we lose fats as we age and I really do not want to keep going back to inject fats on my face).


Problem is I'm not sure if it is even realistic to undergo so many major surgeries in one trip. Many Korean surgeons, consultants and translators had advise that multiple surgeries is not an issue at all but I'm not sure if they are down playing post op complication(like not being able to breathe properly, cannot open your eyes fully due to swelling) as face-contouring recovery on it's own is bad enough.

I also heard that swelling from zygoma reduction will squeeze your nose area as well and am quite worried this will affect the result of my nj.

The only reason why I would want to get them all done together is because I hope to suffer through the pain and long recovery time once and for all.

However, I read that multiple surgeries means a higher chance of revision as well so it defeats the purpose of why I wanted to get multiple surgeries done together in the first place.

If multiple surgeries is not advisable, pls advise me if I should:

(i)Undergo facial bones surgeries only on this trip 1st and then do my eyes/nose to fit the new face shape on a second trip.

(ii)I do my face and nose on this trip and see how they turn out before returning for a second trip to define my eyes? (I read that I should get my eyes done last since it's possible that my eye will look bigger on my new (smaller) face and eyes shape may change a little and 'stretch longer' due to the osteo (pushing in of nose bone) or zygoma reduction.)

(iii)Or do you think it's ok if i undergoing multiple surgeries?

I am so sorry for the long post but as my Korea trip is nearing, I am so anxious and feeling conflicted and confused now... any insights will be deeply appreciated! :help:

Hi Ana.dancer,

I need some enlightenment, I tried googling but I doesn't seems to understand the medical terms. I ve a rather flat and big nose, intend to add a bridge and reduce the size of the tip and the sides, usually what kinda of procedures should be recommended to achieve that? I understand rib cartilage will cause a scar on the chest which is not what I wanted but I know it's one of the common and safest method. I do not want to go for implants as well. What is septal cartilage and osteoplasty?

Is it advisable to do double eyelids surgery and rhino together? Will the face and eyes swell to the extent that u can't see anything until days later? I'm also quite blur and confused now. *sigh*

My friend got hers done at JW.
I think you should expect your eyes to be red around that area for a few months. I do trust Dr. Gim because he has been candidly truthful (like telling me that my eyes will look "artificial" for the first few weeks) so I think he is right. Moreover, Shane77 in the first forum posted his pics with 3D epi and i think it was like Day +12 or something, you could see the redness in the corner of his eyes.
Do you really need to do epi only? it seems like a far place to just go to Korea for that. Perhaps you should think of "going to Korea for a vacation" and then on the side, do the epi Haha. Its just semantics, but that may make you feel happier

Hi,

Yes, I REALLLLY need epi I'll take your advice and think of this trip as vacation and will consider doing epi as a bonus..lol.

FYI, I actually read through most of the previous thread and just forgot where I happened to see her email, hence my question. There's no need to assume things and be rude. Thanks. I wasn't actually expecting all the info on a silver platter, all I did was ask one question afterall.
