zipperfool Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Has anyone here had any experience with Dr. Lawton Tang in Pasadena?http://www.yelp.com/biz/lawton-w-tang-md-pasadenahttp://plasticsurgeryface.tumblr.com/ I went to consult with him a few days ago for asian rhinoplasty, and he came off as a very nice and informative doctor. However, when it came down to talking about the look of the nose I wanted, he asked me to show him a picture of how I want my nose to look like. I showed him a photoshopped picture of myself but he seemed to want more examples of the exact nose that I want, and said if I give him a photo of a nose that I want, he can make it happen- or close to it. And planned to "meet me halfway" with how my desired nose looks, and see if it is possible. My problem with that is that I don't want someone else's nose, I want my nose - just refined but kept in a reasonable change so that it is still MY nose and shape, just improved. I also wanted to see more pictures of before/afters from him, but ran out of time and he asked me to schedule a follow up consultation with him and bring in more photos of the nose I want. Interestingly enough, I went to consult with another doctor (Dr. Grigoryants) who specializes in western noses - so right after he met me he told me that Asian noses are not his specialty, so he'd advise me to look for surgeons in Korea. He also told me that my nose has very thick skin, so even if we use a cartilage graft for the tip, there will not be a noticeable difference because it won't be strong enough to give me enough projection that would make my nose slimmer and won't look good unless an "L-shaped" silicone was used. In the end, Dr. G advised me not to touch my nose at all because there is not much that can be done to improve it without it looking pinched or fake. Now this has me wondering if Dr. Lawton Tang is capable of improving my nose at all, he seemed very confident but Dr. G who is basically a miracle worker for western noses said that my nose should be left untouched. Does anyone have any experience with Dr. Lawton Tang? I am also looking into consulting with surgeons in Korea as a next step. Thank you all in advance.
