jayjoy Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Such a nice doctor you have K. Good for you! For how long must you stay makeup free after FG? Did Dr. Mendelson mention how far out you have to be before you can have a chemical peel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 well dr park said 3 weeks no make up. Dr mendelson said 6 weeks no make up........i kinda didn't listen today and used a thin layer of tinted moisturizer and what do you know.....i felt this tingling sensation so i removed the make up and my nose skin where the damage is turned red The forehead is fine tho.....the redness is slowly subsizing from the nose. I don't think i will attempt make up until the brusing is gone just to be safe. Not sure about when i can use the chemical peel i didnt ask for a duration.

shinyglittery Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 wait fat grafting = no makeup? o ; o i didn't know that before, good to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 yeh im not sure why. i think its because they do not want you to put pressure on the site for the first 3 weeks cos its fragile and settling in. Their instructions were do not use make up or facial treatments for 3 weeks after fat graft. But mine got extended by Dr Mendelson to 6 weeks mainly because the nose is still healing and rather tender the damaged area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-couture Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 thanks! oooooo this clinic is actually run by Dr Song hong sik. From what i know he used to be a founding member at Dream Medical group and also has a reputation as a very skilled rhinoplasty specialist. I recall asking Dr Park about him while he was working on my nose because i had read something about Dr Song on seoultouchup and was wondering why he wasn't on the list of practitioners at Dream. Turns out Dr Song had branched out on his own under good terms is what i was told. pity that site doesnt have english cos id like to browse through it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vichyk Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I know, but I think you've make a good choice going for dr. Park, I'm happy u like ur result For this dream, problem is I think they see way to many celebrities that, maybe they will treat me differently. I'm actually quite interested in them cause I saw this actress/model, that some pp say I kinda look like, so I'm like, I want to be more like her. Just to say, this actress isn't known for being pretty, far from it, she is really plain amongst Koreans, but I really love her look, just that kind feel.

cutieboomber Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I've been a silent reader for quite some time and find the amount of research you've put into all aspects of plastic surgery to be inspirational! (and motivating, I feel the sudden urge to go to Dream and get my nose done too.. but I must resist) I barely have a nose bridge and am looking to also get plastic surgery in the coming years. Ideally, I would get it immediately, but I'm 18 and don't think I'm mature enough to handle the results of surgery. I'm wondering when you had your first surgery? and I think I've read that you got a botched job in Thailand ( so did you regret your lack of research or age)? I think at this point, I'm just really concerned about the 'what ifs'. No one wants to have additional surgeries to fix botched jobs, so for me it's a matter of should i fix something that I've despised but lived with (peacefully) for years, or getting something done that I may regret if the outcome is undesirable... Did you think about this in the beginning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 My first was when i was 19/20. Yeah definitely regret it.I think in life you have to take risks, but calculated risks. At the time it was by no means a calculated risk. It was just me being young and anxious and rushing into it. But im not the sort that gets depressed easily either. Despite having botched surgeries, i just told myself "there is nothing my make up skills can't conceal" lol so i just made it a point to contour my face to my satisfaction. Obviously eventually i got them fixed but till this day i am still aware that if i had just gotten it right at the start, i would be much closer to my ideal look. But no point crying over spilled milk. Ive had a good deal of ppl pm me who i think are just absolutely not emotionally suited for surgery so i feel ethically its not right for me to recommend them any procedures or what clinic to go to. So i think if you are a stronger person who tends to find solutions rather than wallow in self pity then surgery is a good option for you. If you get depressed easily then i would avoid surgery. Ive known enough people who come out from surgery with the slightest imperfect and its sent them down a spiral of insecurity and depression. So to make general decision to do or not to do i thin you have to first assess yourself. Once you decided then you can assess your shortlisted clinics and surgeons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutieboomber Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Your advice is so true! I'm actually the kind of person who is definitely not easily bothered/depressed by things, and as I've had a couple of obvious (and extremely ugly) skin issues as a kid I've learnt to not really care too much which is pretty good imo. But really I'm rather rash - which is a problem. I've suddenly been really immersed with the idea of having rhinoplasty because of my impending trip to China, where my cousin wants me to accompany her to Shanghai for double eyelid surgery and some other minor things. It's definitely not a secret that I've always wanted rhino though, basically all my close friends have heard me talk about it on more than one occasion I think that if I did go ahead, then I'd be taking an uncalculated risk. All I know about the hospital is that it is a larger 'public' hospital (I don't know what that means in China), I don't know what doctors there are, nor their specialisations. Which is why I'm feeling wary... I hope I don't get caught up in the heat of that moment and feel the urgent need to get surgery...because I think I do get quite caught up with these thoughts. If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious as to how you plan your surgeries if you have a full-time job in Australia (supposing you do)? I could easily go during my 3 month uni break, but full-time working adults don't easily get long enough holidays, right? Anyway, I'm sorry I'm talking about my rhinoplasty contemplations!! I really admire your way of thinking, and hope your surgery is totally successful and that you heal without too much discomfort. I'm interested in reading more about your surgery updates and healing process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-couture Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 im one of the senior executives at work so i have more flexibility that most. Also i just cite medical leave. Lastly i only really stop working for the first 3-4 days as after that im actually still handling alot of work on my computer and email. I would not go to China if i were you. Reason why i have never considered it a destination to look into for plastic surgery is because their cosmetic surgery industry and healthcare system doesn't exactly have the best reputation........At least with Korea you know that the medical standard is one of the highest in the world and their medical technology is highly advanced too. Why take that risk when your face is not a commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
