kkim120 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't know. Fat graft is actually the procedure I'm lease concerned with. My main concern is eyes and nose. By the way, where did you do your nose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuneup Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I did it in London with a surgeon called Dr Grover. I considered going to Korea for but wanted to be close to home as it was my first experience with anything surgical (or even non surgical). I had a deviated septum. Grover is the president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. I'm happy enough with the results (it's been six years now) but wish I narrowed it a little (was scared of scarring). That's why I'm getting alar base in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmine369 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I sent out some emails with pictures for consultation to a few clinics, waiting for reply. I am considering going in September - flexible with the dates...depending if I find some people who are also going to do surgeries...hoping to reduce the cost for lodging of hotels/group discount for surgeries? Let me know if you want to join! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuneup Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Me too. We're two of just a few I think, lol I've had consults at a few clinics before -- am going with Grand for forehead fat graft, chin implant, Alloderm smile band and alar base surgery. And Lipt lift at Aone clinic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Tuneup You can Kakao me if you need some info about ur choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim120 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I think you should consult as many clinics as your schedule allows. You want to have options and bargaining chips. If a clinic you really like offers you a higher price, you can say Y clinic said they'd do it for less, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim120 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Why is everyone going in October? Is no one going in December TT_TT I'll be so lonely... :'( And cold. Freezing cold :rain::rain::rain::rain::rain::tumbleweed: :tumbleweed: :tumbleweed: Wow. there are a lot of emoticon options on PF. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim120 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Ah. I'm glad it worked out for you I thought about doing it at home in the States, but nope. It was WAY more expensive than in Korea (even including flight and accommodations). Once you've done your alarplasty, please do share your experience with us I'm planning on doing that myself and a lot of photos look unnatural--you know where the nostrils look like a pointed triangle? and flattened on the sides? And in most b/a photos the stitching isn't as close to the base as I'd like. I mean, the scar is a few millimeters from the actual base.Do you mind me asking, why Grand? Isn't it good to consult a few places before you decide? I retract this question. You said you had a round of consultations before you decided...

tuneup Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hi Quick! Thanks for the kind offer. What is your ID? If you'd rather PM it then I have to wait a few days as my messaging is not switched on yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuneup Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Tell me about it. I paid 4000GBP/6900USD for my rhino here in London. Now I'm looking at spending the same about on about five different procedures in Seoul lol. Total difference! I've had consults in Seoul before (about a year ago) for these procedures. I'm almost decided on Grand, although I'm going to go to Dream as well just for a second chat as I also really liked their approach and surgeons. I'm a little concerned about alar scarring too (probably more than any other procedure I'm getting) but I was happy with the B&As I've been shown. And I've proved to myself over the years that I recover from scarring pretty well. Finger's crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngalaxiee Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Tbh I don't think that the main reason why they went back for revisions because they trust the doctor, but because revision tends to be free if they mess up first time. Go elsewhere for revision and you have to pay. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingstar Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have the same concern as you about alarplasty. I 'm worried I may need it, but I've seen so many bad before and afters of alarplasty. Has anyone seen any *good* alarplasty before and afters? If so, which dr / clinic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
