did anyone here asked the surgeons about the screws and plates used in facial contouring? i mean, nothing last forever rite? will the metal implants corrode over time or have side effects when you get older? i wonder why some doctors use metal implants to fix the bones while some do not. shane, do u have any idea?

Thanks for your encouragement. My healing is coming along nicely but pale in comparison to ginger candy who is having a field day with her recovery process. Its amazing how fast her swelling has come down. I can only hope that my swelling doesn't get worse then when it first started :smile: you hang in there your self my dear. Education comes first before anything else. Dr hong is a terrific surgeon despite what you may heard from other. So i have no doubt that time will only excel on his current knowledge and skill as a plastic surgeon. Dr hong did an amazing job with ginger candy and i'm sure he will do an equally beautiful job on you when ever you ready to take that plunge.

Gingercandy, do u find the nose bridge between yr eyes high? If yes, did dr hong mention tt it will go down over time?

I don't think my bridge is too high ,anyway I have a ok bridge to start with but dr hong just want it to be more define so he used 3mm silicon for me. I think what I see will pretty much what I will get, the only thing that will change will be the size of the tip because there still a bit swelling there. Now they look fine to me but after the swelling I hope it will be a fair bit sharper otherwise I can also live with how it look now.

The screw and plate used by surgeon are usually non rusting and has been approved for use for facial surgery. Some surgeon would used soluble type screw and plate but the problem with that is there is a chance that the soluble plate and screw may break before the bone has a chance to fully consolidate. You have the option to have the plate and screw removed after 6 months, but normally people just leave it in cause removing it required additional surgery which not a lot of people are too keen to go through again.

Does anyone know if Dr. Hong is good with double eyelid surgery as well? Seems like he's famous for nose only..

I am not sure is dr hong famous in eye surgery but I can said that he had eye for detail, so last minutes before he send me to the op room he said he will remove the fats in my eyelid to completed the look. That was a great bonus because I need it but didn't ask the consultant about it because I am sure she will charge me a few hundred buck extra. I didnt ask dr hong too ! He just gave it to me! The moment I work up not aware of the others condition but I can tell my eyelid felt lighter when I open them ... And I am loving it. However please bear in mind mine was as simple as removing excess fat from the eyelid so thats not a good judgement to said that he is good in that field.

hi gingerCandy,

I've been reading the posts lately, and it seems like that you had just a nose surgery done by dr. Hong. I've been thinking about the same procedure done this coming September. Would you tell me about dr. Hong a little bit? And if you have any advice please share =)

I can't say for sure if dr hong is good for eyes since my eyelid is the product of dr shin of BK. but as gingercandy point out that dr hong is an artist with a scalpel. So i'm pretty sure he is just as good with the eyes as he is with the face. it is my opinion that when it comes to the eyes and nose, its 10% skill and 90% art. The majority of the surgeon in korea perform eyelid surgery pretty much the same way as everyone else. But it take a surgeon with an eye for detail to create an aesthetically appealing feature to match the rest of your face. Dr shin share the same approach as dr hong i'm sure, but both may have a different artistic perspective of what look good on you. Which is why its essential that you get more than one opinion and not just relying on the opinion of one surgeon.
