Who Replied?And also, are there any forums where I can ask doctors about a special kind of surgery? I have a problem where my eyes (the eye sockets) are uneven and not level with each other. It shows up in pictures and it's very unsightly. I wanted to post my problem on the makemeheal.com forums but I can't sign up!
Please help.
Please help.
yeuyeu, i remember you went to dr. lee for your primary rhinoplasty, but removed your implant shortly after the surgery. what are you going to do with your nose in korea? are you going to have another implant put in?
Hi Asin! Sorry for my lateness in responding, I was super busy and forgot to check out the board. Yes I had the implant taken out two weeks post-op because I felt it was too high. I still thinks so and don't regret my decision at all -- there's no way I can live with a nose like that. But I also feel like I need a bit of moderate augmentation to look better. Right now it's literally zero height between my eyes. I did a lot of computer imagering myself and found a (I think) good height for me (which is about 30% the height immediately after my primary rhino), sent it to Dr. Park and got a very detailed analysis. I think I'll go ahead with it! Haven't decided yet whether to use silicone or Gortex though. I also want more definition on my tip, which I really need to talk to Dr. Park about.
I'm also doing magic epi to get rid of my mongolian fold, and also cheek reduction coz I feel like my cheekbone is a bit too sharp, making my 45 degree profile look very bad....
I remember you drove all the way to LA around January to remove your implant. What happened after that, if you don't mind me asking? Are you satisfied with your height right now, or are you considering another surgery?
Would it be smart to take out loans to get surgery? I'm so desperate for it and I don't want to wait another 2 years down the line.
Is it even possible to take out loans for surgery?
hi pleasance, there're lots of loans for cosmetic surgeries (I'm assuming you live in the US). Check out Carecredit. I hear it's really good. Be careful with their retroactive interest rate though.

Oh darn, I'm from Canada. Would I qualify for the loan if I got my surgery done IN the states?
What's retroactive interest rate
Thanks.

hi yeu yeu, yea i removed my implant in january. i was really unhappy with my nose for the first few months after implant removal. my nose looked really wide and undefined due to the scar tissue. it looked like a blob. i think the scar tissue and swelling has gone down a bit so my nose now looks a little better. however, i am still considering revision to remove some of the scar tissue to get a smaller, thinner bridge back. i might consider augmentation as well. my natural nose isn't that low, so if i get augmentation, it will be very minor, like .5-1mm increase in height.
how is that tip graft left in your nose looking? the one on my nose is overprojected. it's too big and gives me a hanging columella. i'd like to have that corrected in a revision as well.
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm asian american and had a nose job done 10 years ago. Because my rhinoplasty was performed by silicon implant insertion only, the nasal tip skin became thin and the outline of implant at tip was demarcated in recent years. Therefore, I'm looking into getting my nose done once again in America or South Korea. Anyone here knows a good doctor, please let me know. Many thanks...
OK, would anyone feel iffy or suspicious about having a woman operating on them for cosmetic surgery?
I mean, being a woman, wouldn't feminine jealousies get involved? Even with highly trained doctors...
I totally disagree. I think women are more in tune with what we as women want! If anything, I think they'll do a better job then men! Women in general pay more attention to details and are perfectionists. I think it's hard to find a female plastic surgeon!

i agree with asian90210. female cosmetic surgeons are hard to find, but if you can find one, they're seem to be more compassionate and aware of our concerns. i don't think they will be jealous at all! i think they would want to do the best job for you!

The tip graft looks fine, but because the implant is gone, my nose looks (on the side view) curved slightly inward. Very slightly, but still very bothersome (I like it super, super, super straight...). So I definitely want it straightened via augmentation. Hanging columella has always been a problem for me (which I don't think Dr. Lee corrected, but then I didn't ask) and I don't think that in my case, the tip graft is responsible for it. But I'm definitely interested in correting it (by cutting the septum? that's what I hear). I think the round appearance of my tip has a lot to do with the hanging columella. (This girl's tip refinement is due in part to correcting the hanging columella, in my view (@3:30)

I know nothing about removing scar tissue, but it sounds like a fairly advanced procedure... Have you found a surgeon that's good with this kind of procedure? Sorry if you already posted about this before..

I assume it's ok. Carecredit accepts Canadian applicants, AFAIK. But it may depend on the company...
Here's a gloss on retro interest rate
Many lenders try to entice patients into signing up by offering credit cards that have a zero percent interest rate if the balance is paid off within a promotional period (often 12 or 18 months) and if, during the promotional period, the consumer makes all monthly payments on time. If the balance is not paid off within the promotional period or if the patient misses a monthly payment, however, interest rates can quickly jump to as much as 29.99 percent retroactively. Before being tempted by a zero-interest offer, be absolutely sure that you can pay the balance in full during the interest-free period and that you can make all your monthly payments in full and on time. If you can’t, you may end up being responsible to pay off your health care bills at double-digit rates that you cannot afford and may also be responsible for hefty late fees.

Since she is at Beverly Hills, I supposed her fees will be high? Could you advise on how much your friends paid? Thanks!
