Hi everyone; I know most procedures here are centered around surgery in Korea, but I was wondering if anyone had any good experiences with surgery in the states?
I have a few fears of going to Korea for surgery:
In particular I have my eye on Dr. Donald Yoo in Beverly Hills. Does anyone here have any experience with him? His website is here: http://donyoomd.com - although not all his noses are my taste, I have yet to find any negative reviews about him so far. Curious what you guys think of his work? Maybe there's something I'm overlooking that's a red flag? His consultation fee is $250 so I want to hear more before committing to go travel and see him.
Personally I think Dr. Charles Lee of Beverly Hills has the rhinoplasty results that I like. It's more subtle. But I hear SO many horror stories about him that I'm completely put off. Also some of his before and afters look airbrushed/photoshopped which is weird. Overall he seems like a hit or miss kind of guy.
I am curious for those who got a very subtle augmentation done on their nose, how many mm of implant or DCF was used?
I have a few fears of going to Korea for surgery:
- I am not Korean so I'm afraid of getting taken advantage of or ripped off.
- I have seen a few people who got surgery in Korea in person, and a lot of them look very odd after surgery - like very shiny noses or just that worked on feeling that I don't want. I'm not sure if my aesthetic is just different from the general Korean PS aesthetic?
- It's hard to really judge a clinic based off of photos of patients on their websites, because they might photoshop it, and even if they don't, a lot of times people in person look very different from in photos. In the case with rhinoplasty, noses are more 3d in person, so it may end up looking taller/longer/more protruding than the photos show.
- I feel like my taste in noses is very particular - I don't like tall noses, but I want a nose that's less wide and bulbous than it is now. I don't think that's achievable realistically without making the bridge and tip higher though, because my nose is fatty and thick skin. BUT I also don't want a sharp pointed tip. I still want a rounded asian looking tip.
- Most korean surgeons use super soft silicone. I don't want to have foreign material in my body because my body has a lot of allergies, and I just have this gut feeling that a few years down the road, it will be rejected from my body. So I would probably have to get rib cartilage.
- If the surgery goes well and I like my result- GREAT! But if not, I feel like a lot of forumers here get dismissed by the doctor.
