Damn it! Nobody can go in November? I am going to check the airplane fares and get back to you. If December is not more expensive than November, I might join you.
Marykayla,
Unfortunately, and as might be expected, December is more expensive than November. So I won't be able to join you and I'll have to stick to my original plans.
Can anybody with any experiences with Dr Edmund Kwan or Dr Edward Kwak share them with me? I'm a male and I'm looking to have work done on the nose and chin. But there's a lot of mixed opinions on each (and every other doctor for that matter), and it's hard to know how reliable those opinions are. So I'd really like to talk to someone personally through email about their experiences, good or bad. If neither are recommended, is there one that you could recommend (preferably, but not limited to, the NYC area?)?
Thanks!
Vincent
Thanks!

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
If you don't mind me asking, who did your premax augmentation? Did you have it done together with a rhinoplasty? If so, do you think a rhinoplasty would be enough to mask that type of concaveness?
No I don't plan on getting an epi done. Dr. Kwak said I didn't need it either.
Speaking of an epi, is anyone here considering or had a lateral canthopexy/canthoplasty? Or have more info on these procedures? Not the one where you make the eyes wider but the one where your eyes are pulled up so that you have that more slanted look? I have scleral show (where there's a lot of white showing on the bottom part of your eye). Dr. Kwak said that there's no way to solve this problem, which makes me question his knowledge a little bit because I've done an adequate amount of research that says a canthopexy/canthoplasty will fix that problem. Dr. Choe told me to tilt my head on a higher angle so it doesn't show much, which I thought was, yes probably a quick fix, but silly advice. So I just wanted to see if anyone here is at all familiar or have a scleral show problem
I'm not familiar with scleral show, but Dr. Jeffrey Ahn (also NYC) does a lot of lateral canthoplasty.....or so he says. Have you consulted with him yet? Might be best to ask him that. Though from the online research I did it seems that most people find lateral canthoplasty to do little to nothing in altering or improving their looks.....medial canthoplasty helps a lot (when needed), but from what I've read it seems that the benefits of lateral canthoplasty are barely visible.
Dr. Lily Chen from NYC did it . When I found out the outcome of the premax augmentation is so weird , she refused to remove all of it and only took out part of it. Still look very bad so I had to go to TaiWan to take everything out. It is really a big mistake and a painful experience financially and mentally. The prema augmentation does nothing to improve the midface concaveness but only make your face weird (nose shift to one side , the lip change shape and the whole face become wider), so please becareful! Dr. Lily Chen did not do my nose revision because during the consultation I really doubt her skill on the nose ( I saw some patients b/a photos and the type of nose she have done is exactly the type that I am afraid of). The reason that I let her do my premax surgery is because there is no Dr. willing to done such surgery for me and now finally I know why. From my previous nose surgery experience I don't think the Rhino can improve the concaveness either, but it may make your midface area look a lilltle fuller. I hope I have answer your question and I don't visit this site often so if I miss your message please forgive me.
Thats awesome..
i am 1 yr post op now.
Only used ear cartilage.
Seems like shape remains but height has fallen..
Whatever is done during ops.. will decrease by about 30% aprox..
This pic is what i am aiming for..
use to think i want natural look but now i think dun kid yourself..
Might as well just do it like this model effect..
Only this kind of nose looks good in pictures and this is waht matters most..
Most pple look good in person but poorly in pics due to weak features..
Anyone knows the above picture is done with what materials?
I am browsing through some before and after photos of rhinoplasty patients.. and.. i found this..

Female patient from London who came specifically to New York seeking Dr. Rizk’s signature 3-Dimensional High Definition Rhinoplasty technique. She had a Rhinoplasty with nostril reduction and is shown here 1 month post-operatively.
You might think that the before and after are two different people.. but they are not.. check out http://rhinoplastysurgeonnyc.wordpress.com/category/rhinoplasty-before-after/
and see the photos side by side..
I am seriously very impressed with the above work (though I am a Chinese).
How is the above transformation even technically possible?
The width of the nose is reduced by half...?! Are you going to cut out the entire lower half of your nose and pushed the alar inwards by half of the inital width..?
Anyone knows?
It looks too good to be true! what do you all think?

from what i see, this can be achieved by just an alarplasty.
look closely at the before and distinguish between the sides of the nostrils and where the nostrils meet the cheek. there is A LOT of overhang between where the nostril meets the cheek and the widest part of the nostril. this is the nostril flaring. by reducing the amount of "side" nostril flesh, you reduce flaring. you can even maintain where the nostril and the cheek meet. you dont have to move that in. you can if you want to but just thru excising the side wall flesh you can achieve a lot of the narrowing.
the flaring is particularly pronounced given that she is smiling. all of us with nostril flaring know how big the nose can grow when we smile!
now supposed you get a base reduction where the sill is just removed. the sill is where the nose and the upper lip meet. if that is all you did, you would just increase the flaring as the side wall flesh would still be there. the result would look really bad. so its important the surgeon knows what they are doing in terms of whether to reduce the sidewall or the sill or both.
