alara Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hello everyone! so I'm actually interested in this procedure, but after reading up on how it's done and what they use (osteobond aka bone cement) I feel a bit worried about the side effects, after all we all heard stories of people who did not respond well to foreign substances, the immune system fights it. and this is why I made this thread - to clear my doubts, I'd like to know if anyone actually did this, did you see any side effect over the years? does it bother you? can this procedure be done without surgery and general anesthesia? fillers for example? last, but not least, which clinics do you recommend if any?

andy-l-park Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I saw over 100 people did it when I worked in clinic. No one got side-effect but all said really painful in 2~3days. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alara Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 thank you for the information... is the pain the same like forehead lift? I did forehead lift and it was extremely painful, I did not know it would hurt like that >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy-l-park Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Cannot compare with that, they all said. Just like two spike hammer get tighten your head both side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

positive0222 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 a friend of mine had surgery on top of the head more than 5years ago and she has a side effect of pinching or poking sensation from time to time. So you should condiser the surgery very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid07 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 result looks amazing but thinking about the pain... quite scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinawhy Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm going to answer your question about jaw surgery. The doctor broke my jaw to fix my over bite. Only thing that sucked for me was not being able to eat. If people did research before going to a doctor. Everything will go off as plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintwrisr Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The only clinic I know is ID which I don't recommend. But there is a surgeon in the states who seems experienced in head surgeries. His website http://www.eppleyplasticsurgery.com/skull-reshaping.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinawhy Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I wanna go to korea, the doctor here i dont like and charge alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris-th Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 As I know, this surgery is not common in Korea yet. So I think it's very dangerous surgery for now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintwrisr Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I agree. I'm also interested in this surgery and I would rather pay more and do it with an experienced head surgeon. There are millions of doctors in America, maybe you just gotta find one you like and trust Look all around the country not just near you. If you don't mind travelling to Korea, I'm sure you don't mind going to other states. Also, it might be better to pay more for an experienced American doctor than inexperienced Korean. Just because they're Korean doesn't automatically make them more skilled. Not to mention head augmentation is more of a western surgery than Asian.

peri-winkle Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 @Mintwrisr I was researching this procedure, and looked into the Dr. Eppley that you mentioned- it seems he has many botched job reviews and I wouldn't trust him. The problem with the US doctors is that there really aren't enough ps surgeons. Compared to Korea where thousands of doctors and clinics are constantly competing and refining their techniques, doctors here are sparse and don't perform procedures often, so many of their patients act as "guinea pigs" for their surgery techniques. At least, this was my experience researching ps surgeons and trying to do consultations in the US for the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashly117 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Eppley doesn't have a good standing here in America. He caused a woman to commit suicide after screwing up her facelift. And he's gotten a lot of complaints. And he was insane enough to perform rib removal surgery. Anyway, doesn't Dr Chung Woo Jin do this procedure in ITEM? Anyone know how good he is?
