I've been going through old posts one by one and am AMAZED at this transformation. Holy cow.....PS is generally an enhancement procedure but this one takes the cake for complete transformation. And the end-result is actually quite natural-looking.
How thick of an implant would be needed to achieve such a drastic transformation in bridge heighT?.....going from nearly no bridge to such a high bridge? I'm thinking it's got to be even >5mm.....probably 6 or 7 or 8mm? Is that even possible with silicone? I thought thickest silicone implant they could use (safely, that is) is 5mm.....? Goretex supposedly can give more bridge height (safely), up to 8mm (e.g. 4 sheets of 2mm thickness each stacked together). But that post-op nose in the photos just appears so defined and pointy (almost looks like a L-shaped silicone implant??) that it doesn't look to be goretex based.

looks like silicone to me given the definition along the ridge.
it makes it look much narrower at the pointy bone at the center of your nose. i couldnt believe that he didnt actually break the bones to achieve that effect.
i think cersepn got the pictures from http://www.fashionguide.com.tw/

the before and after picture looks amazing! i wanna know who's her doctor!

To the ladies & gents who've had ALARPLASTY......
1) can it be done independent of or after a full rhinoplasty operation (bridge augmentation, tip work)? Or would this be not advisable?
2) can it involve just RESHAPING of the nostrils (e.g. from a round shape to oval or triangular) WITHOUT reducing the nostril size (i.e. overall circumference)? My nostrils are not large by any means and no PS I'd consulted with ever recommended alar reduction in my case (plus I heard that you've got to be extremely careful when deciding whether to proceed with alar reduction since there's no going back if too much is reduced).......but some mentioned that nostril re-positioning & re-shaping from the round shape to oval or triangular can contribute more projection for the nose tip. So I was wondering if anyone here has done NOSTRIL RE-POSITIONING & RE-SHAPING without nostril size reduction?

I've heard back from all three doctors that I emailed about autologous rhinoplasty now and it's so interesting as each and everyone has their own interpretation. Dr.Shah was the most conservative and said he needed only to use my septum cartilage for a 2-3mm increase, Dr.Kao actually thought Goretex would be better for my nose than rib since it's less complicated and I just need a straight forward augmentation(versus correction of a short or rotated nose, etc) but he suggested 3-4mm(although I sent him different pictures from the others just taken on my webcam so maybe that's why)... Dr.Hsu was the last to get back to me, he actually said 2.5-3mm was most amount needed and he didn't even think a chin implant was necessary.
Their prices are all about the same after I factor in hotel and flight costs (I'm based in the US)...I like their professional work and quality pretty evenly. I must say I like that Dr.Shah and Hsu were more conservative in their assessment and actually said certain things would be unnecessary for me whereas Dr.Kao just greenlighted every procedure I was interested in and even suggested advanced genioplasty. However, Dr.Kao was the most friendly and thorough in his email. Overall positive experiences consulting with them through email, and I appreciate their time.

Ok, thought I had to share this photo.......ladies regardless of what implant you get (silicone, goretex, or autologous cartilage) be 100% certain your PS doesn't make a nose like this......Park Shi-yeon's new nose......that goes all the way up to her forehead.....
Her old nose (and face!) was sooooo pretty.....granted that may likely have been an operated version as well......but why why why this completely unnatural new version?!

it looks like a magazine photo; they should've airbrushed the implant on her forehead out.I had my consultation with Dr. Kwak today. I have to admit I was surprised at the type of office he has. Not what I expect from a plastic surgeon. It was really ****ty. So I was waiting to see him I already thought of fleeing. But I figure I was already there so might as well. His assistant is really nice. A lot nicer than Dr. Choe's.
Dr. Kwak took pictures of me for his computer simulation. I was really impressed by the computer simulation. And he spent so much time with me. Which was such a relief after my consultation with Dr. Choe. I think I talked to Dr. Kwak for a good 2 hours. We spent most of the time discussing my nose. But he didn't really show me that many before after photos. I don't know if it was because the patients themselves didn't give permission to show the photos or what. I didn't really see a nose that I was looking for from his photos. And I know I need a premaxillary augmentation because my midface has concaveness but it didn't seem like he wanted to do that for me. The bridge height that he wanted for me was very conservative, 3mm. But I told him that if I'm gonna go with this, I would like something higher. So he showed me how it would look like if it was 4-5mm, which I think is what would look better on me. And he suggested goretex for the bridge. For the eyes, I really liked his results actually. He had good tapered results. I liked that he agreed with me with the height of the crease that I wanted. Dr. Choe kept trying to push a higher crease height. And I don't know if Dr. Choe is good with the tapered crease. Dr. Kwak's stitches also looked very clean.
So my apprehension with Dr. Kwak: not sure if I trust him enough for my nose. And also, his assistant said that I'd have to wait 5 weeks in between to get my nose then my eyes? I find this very weird. And also I can't take off that much time from work, which was why I wanted to have both procedures done together. So that's my consult with Dr. Kwak. I'd have to say I'm really glad I consulted with him. Will I have my surgery with him? I don't know yet

are you getting an epicanthoplasty as well. if so, that may be the reason to wait 5 weeks. if not, then i dont see why you would need to wait. getting rhino and bleph at the same time is quite common. some also get epicanthoplasty as well, but i would advise to wait. thats a quick procedure anyways with a much shorter healing time as you can use coverup on the scar.
Hi Young princess,
I had premaxillary augmentation two years ago due to the midface concavess. But I removed it one years ago because it make me look weird. The implant strech out my face skin and changed the shape of my lip (make my lip wide and thin). but it doesn't improve my midface that much and the concavess still there. Please do more research before you get this done
