flojo1985 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 hi... if you guys have been here for a while.. i'm sure you know who i am made a lot of friends in this forum.... i've been wanting to do plastic surgery for a while... i wanted to do jaw reduction surgery as well as rhinoplasty and fat graft...but finally i decided to do tipplasty and fat graft only.. as i got scared of bone shaving complications..... had a few clinics in mind but i decided to go with DARPS... i felt comfortable with the translator...and i had a few friends(from this forum) who decided to do their surgery there and i like their results.. i promised that if i decided to do surgery i would post my experience here to help others... so here it is... the first consultation i had to wait about 15 minutes for the translator to come lots of locals and mainland chinese there... and the office is so damn nice..... the translator (riley ushered me to meet the consultant... and i told her what i wanted to do..)i told her right away i wanted dr choi... because i did a lot of research(from my kakao group).. and i already know which doctor i wanted ... i met with dr choi.. he seems to be very meek and humble and not pushy at all.. i told him i wanted to do tipplasty only and i don't want any silicone on my nose...he gave his opinion.. he said if i did silicone it would be perfect... i still said no.. and he wasn't pushy!!! i decided i felt comfortable with him... because he understand i wanted a more natural result .. not the typical korean look...so finally i was ushered to meet the consultant again...we discussed price... and if i have advice for people who wanted to do surgery.... know this: do your research.. know what is the fair price to pay and what is not....i definitely got a fair price.(paid cash.. usd btw)..then they do the routine stuff. checked my blood took pics I was scheduled to have surgery the next day.... i wasn't nervous at all because i was prepared for it.... when i came i the surgery room.... gave me IV>. and then i was out... when i woke up.. i had slight amnesia.. i forgot where i was, what just happened.. i tried to run away..lol.. but then i finally regained my memory .. and actually i got high from all the drugs.. it wasn't painfull at all....i actually walked home from DA to my hotel (lex hotel) 2 days after the surgery panic sets in.. i bugged my line group... im okay with my fat graft.. but my nose.. it was so BIG.. like super swollen.... but thank GOd everyone in the group was like.. it's ok .. it's normal. don't worry till the cast comes off.. etc....i couldn't eat very well.. because i couldn't smell/.. they put this huge cotton inside my nose... and it keeps leaking snot.. the first 3 days was soo uncomfortable.. i couldnt sleep...couldn't eat... ont he third day i took out my cotton (not the stitches) and it was MUCH better.. i could finally eat.. i was so hungry!! .. fat graft keeps going down... had a few bruises here and there..... on the 7th day . took of my cast.... hmm i liked how it look.. but then my alar was huge... and again i was PREPARED for this.. because my kakao group people told me... it's gonna b swollen for a while,. and i shouldn't panic... so i didnt so i wrote this review after 2 weeks because i want everything to settle down first... to know whether i really like the results or not... FG.. i love this.... although it goes down everyday,. and i expect it to go down anyways.... and i know they don't really last.. so i'm planning to do a touch up in january.... they make me look so much younger.. but sometimes it feels uncomfortable to make facial movements.. and i made sure i didnt sleep face down.... tipplasty + alar : as expected.. the swelling goes down day to day... nose tip looks a bit upturned.. but again.. i know this because my friends from plastic surgery told me that it the nose tip will drop after a few months....(i'm so glad for kakaotalk group, they helped me a lot )... the nose tip is still a little swollen... but that's okay... so far i'm happy with my new look.. i'm sure people know i did surgery.. but they couldn't point out what i did.... some asked "did you get eyebag removal" lolll so for people who decided to do surgery... my tips are 1)make sure you are comfortable whichever clinic you choose.. make sure the doctor knows what you want.. be super super specific . it's your face 2)know what is the fair price... 3) do lots of research... know how recovery will be... ask people who did surgery before.. DON"T PANIC 4) come in with the right mindset.. know that your face is gonna change... and it might not exactly be how you imagined it i hope my post helps
