ashly117 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 Chase Lay is in San Jose...not San Juan. I live close by to his clinic. I had a consult with him. Seems knowledgable, but the consultant never reached back to talk about future steps. But honestly I'd go to Korea. Korea seems to have higher quality and cheaper price for Asian related surgeries.
kayart0803 Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 That's absurd. The ones I have come across are $4-7k
gkudaka Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 I considered going to SK for a facelift, but had eye bags removed in Thailand, and they sagged. One sagged while i was there, so I was able to get a revision for that side, but the other side sagged after I returned to US. It's too far to go to Thailand for a touch up. That was why i looked into getting a facelift in US. If I have any problems, can get revision here. I don't have to travel abroad. I went in for a consultation, liked the surgeon. Have an appt for surgery in 6 weeks here -- picked a surgeon who is Asian American, thinking he would be more sensitive to Asian issues. He separated the facelift into a jaw/neck surgery, and a cheek surgery. I'm having the jaw/neck surgery.
thelilachour Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I had researched clinics in US/Canada a lot more than Korea, and decided on a surgeon in Canada for rhino, one in the US for fat graft (to eyes), another in US for mole removal and dimple creation, another in US for lip lift. Overall I prefer how the clinics in Korea operate, though it is too soon to tell if my surgery there has a very good result. The reason I chose Canada/US for some is because I have western features and the surgeons have more experience with my type of skin/nose & eye shape there. But if this were not the case, I think I would have considered more Korean than American clinics. It seemed to me that more of the clinics in SK had a “harmonious” mindset on the outcome of the surgery, ex: considering my entire face shape, teeth, eye width etc when doing my v line, not just considering the one area and what is highly requested/popular then trying for a safe and conservative outcome....also, it seems many SK surgeons tend to be cosmetic-oriented even when the sx is not necessarily a cosmetic one. When I had my nose done in Canada I found the dr was too conservative (left my nose too projected and pointed too much) and now am planning for a secondary rhino. When I had my moles and dimples done by a surgeon in Cali, the scars are very obvious....he sutured them quickly and I felt that it wasn’t taken seriously enough that I didn’t want a noticeable scar (the whole reason I paid to go to a plastic surgeon and not a derm). Most of all though, I find my ideal beauty standards match more of a Korean standard than American and when I try to describe this to a lot of American surgeons they do not seem very familiar...ex: smaller jaw/chin, soft features, not high arched eyebrows, not a wide mouth, very small implants (smallest most drs will let me consider is like 200cc in US as they say “everyone wishes they went larger”)
caliroll Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I've thought about Chase Lay but honestly I don't think he's skilled in rhinoplasty. His instagram is all eyelid surgeries. For someone who claims to be an expert in Asian aesthetics, he has like 4 examples of nose jobs on his website, and virtually none on his instagram. He has one very negative review on Realself. For eyes, he seems good, but for rhino there's virtually nothing to judge his work.
miloukee Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Yes, i know wh at u mean. Unfortunately, for ANY dr to put photos on any media the paitent must sign releases. And unfortunately, alot of ppl dont want to publicly post b&a, even w/ cropped pics, eyes blocked. Who would? As many ppl who get PS, post, there arent as much pics. As for dr lay, There is one gal nose on his instagram, instagram'd the whole sx and follow her progress.
miloukee Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 New here. Yes, let me know who. One gal who posted on Realself, pm me to go on this forum about SK PS, but l dont see many FL reviews. Unless lm not searching correctly. Same fears if there s an issue very inconvient and costly to get a revision, so am looking for one in US.@gkudaka good luck w ur sx.
miloukee Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 At Mount Sinai hospital on 102st, there is a plastc sx clinic in nyc that does it for $3814, all fees included, in a hospital OR, anesthesia,post op visits. Consultation is $200. It is done by 6yr resident PS. They do whatever the paitent wants. I think even the implants r included A new resident1 starts July to Sept, then the other resident 2 does Oct-Dec. Then resident 1 does Jan-March, then April-June, the other. In july, 2 new 6yr resident PS start. There are also other PS clinics in NYC but they charge by the procedure n anesthesia time.
miloukee Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 FORGOT TO ADD I DONT THINK asian eyelid sx or any asian specific sx is recommended to do there. BUT any reg PS, it might be worthwhile to check it out.
annlai Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 @HANALYMI Hi! May I ask if you’re looking into revision because of your surgery with Teium Dr Kwon back in 2015? Why are you not happy? I appreciate your response because I’m planning to have eye surgery with Dr Kwon. Thank you!
sheonlylooks25 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 The thought of harvesting from my ribs puts me off! Silicone infection is luck of the draw. I believe it is the same problem as with boob implants. In Australia most places have implemented the "no touch" protocol for breast implants to limit infection, if only that can be done for the nasal implant. I have had nose implant for over 30 years and no problems but I am having it removed and re-done soon with tip-plasty.
sheonlylooks25 Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 My equal favourite choice apart from SK for my facelift, eyes etc is with Dr Lee, Wave PS in Los Angeles. He does all Koreans who do not want to travel. Amazing work. Look at LazyBum's blog, her @lazybumtotbeauty Instagram. She has posted on her eye job at Wave on her blog. A female junior doctor did her eyes but she doesn't seem to be there anymore but Dr Lee is fantastic. I have downloaded their b&a on Korean faces for years, It's a pity they can't keep all the photos on their site. I believe they are opening a clinic in San Fran soon.
sarah_luv Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Wow! I like it! Asian style turned to American style but I think this is not just bc of eyelid surgery. She put make-up and extended eye lashes too. However, I really like her result. Thank you for sharing!
eurasianbeauty Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Lenox Hill has a plastic surgery clinic in NYC as well. Don't know the costs, however. Are the prices you posted recent? Do you have any experience with them?
