I had to postpone my own revision rhino untill next year, somewhere between November 2010 and March 2011, because I don't have enough money currently and no time either. Besides, I still don't know whether I should go for Anil Shah or Hsu. But I hope I'll have gathered enough testimonies about both of them by next year so that I can decide for once.
So if anybody has been to Hsu or Shah, please share your info! I'd be grateful for it!

Thank's Shinangel!!

i already asked the doctors about type of implants, but they seems avoiding my questions and only gve a simple explanations..
i know they're busy man..

i saw some problem pictures caused by L-shaped implant,
and most of the L-shaped implant noses are a bit too pointy..,
also problem with I-shaped implant which more likely to be shifted..

i heard that implant could be shifted by the time?
i won't getting any secondary surgeon to take a revision.
it seems a bit risky to use implant in the nose.. =(
so i probably stay with my natural bridge..

maybe i will take alarplasty & tip refinement.. also chin implant & lower lip reduction.

yes, i will postpone my surgery., still finding the right doctor and collecting more money..,

You don't consider dr. Tseng, Hsu or Kao from Taiwan, by any chance? They are slightly more expensive than dr. Chuang, if I am not wrong. But definitely cheaper than Jung. Check it out:

http://www.drtseng.com.tw/
http://www.ychsu.com/cartilage.htm
http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/face-nose/archive?l=f&id=14

Their pages are in Taiwanese, but you could use Google Translation to have an approximate idea of what they are about. Also, Taiwanese doctors tend to be more conservative, so they would perhaps agree with you about the height of your bridge.

Many thanks, shinangel! You've really done your research on doctors, and I am so grateful that you've shared some with me! I really liked Dr. Tseng's work. I think I would like to go with him if possible. Is his e-mail [email protected] ? That seems like a very strange e-mail for a doctor to have, but I'm desperate enough to send an e-mail to that address anyway. I want to have a revision as soon as I can, using autologous material if possible, and it seems like he is very good with that sort of deal.

Tell me about it! It's about 5 months now that I am on this thread (have read all the posts from A to Z), am registered to Singapore Expats as well, contacted quite a few surgeons (including European and American ones) since September 2008, by now I should know, right? :lawl:

Dr. Tseng's address should be that one. Mind you that Taiwanese people have a Chinese forname as well as a Western version of it.

Ideally implants should be permanent. Hence, if you want to exclude all risks of extrusion you'll have to go for autologous. This being said, autologous can warp or resorb in certain cases. Autologous requires very skilled surgeons (needless to say that PS, as a general rule, requires skilled surgeons).

All the other man-made synthetic grafts have their own downsides, out of which infection, extrusion, fake appearance and shifting seem to be the most commonly discussed here.

Anyhow, "implants" because of their very nature (=something foreign or not foreign to be added to your body but that wasn't located in that particular place originally) intrinsically imply that problems may occur.

From what I could gather, silicone/goretex grafts can last for many many years, seemingly well tolerated by your body, and then all of a sudden become an issue to your organism. Thus, if you are concerned about the effects of grafts in the long run, testimonies from people who have a one-year old graft that hasn't resulted in complications yet wouldn't be relevant.

Hi, guys!
I've been lurking on this thread for the past two days, and finally made it to the last page of the thread. Lol.

My nose is very upturned, and my nostrils flare out even wider than they really are when I smile. As if that's not bad enough, the bridge is almost completely flat, so it's like I don't have a nose at all except for the nostrils. Wow, that sounds so depressing. Haha. Do you think that it's possible to have my nose fixed in the States with good results? Somehow I feel like...a lot of "After" pictures for Asian patients in the States are either underwhelming or disappointing, with a few good ones in between.

So far, I have narrowed it down to either Dr. Robertson (Wisconsin) or Dr. Shah (Chicago) in the U.S.
A member here had her nose done by Dr. Robertson a little over a year ago (I think it was AZNGirl, but I'm not sure), and I really liked the final result. My nose is a lot like her nose before she got surgery, except that mine looks much worse because it's more upturn as well.

However, despite the fact that I more or less have a pretty clear idea of which surgeons I am interested in, there is a conundrum: There is no denying that so many surgeons in Korea are talented, and I would much rather go there. I just can't seem to decide whether to travel overseas or stay in the States. Both have their own pros and cons.

I'm going to start contacting Drs. Robertson and Shah as soon as I feel better from my cold, and see how it goes.

If I decide to go to Korea, it'll be sometime in the Spring or Summer. Would anyone be interested in joining me around that time frame? I'm interested in going to OZ, but if there's a place that you think is much better, feel free to chime in. :)

I was curious about Dr. Kimberly Lee from Beverly Hills, since there were a couple of people who said she was reasonably priced and quite good. I only saw one example of an Asian rhinoplasty on her web page, but decided to ask them about a complete revision rhinoplasty (including alarplasty) estimate anyway. Since I haven't heard that much about her until I read this blog, I was really surprised to find out that the estimate is in the ballpark of $15,000!:shocked:

Hi everyone, Dr. Somyos replied my email,he said:

"You have a nice proninent forehead contour ,this make your nasal bridge appear relatively low.This traslate into the neccessity of using the implant. Thus the nose jobe involve.
a Tip plasty ​
b.L shape implant​
c.Alarplasty ​
the price is $3500 usd include 2 night in our facility.​
2.Your lower lip reduction is apporpriate ,however the upper may be your option ,since it is not that thick.​
The cost for lower lip is $450 each under local anesthesia unless you combinded with nose surgery .We will do your lip surgery under gerneral anesthesia with the price $450 . Ohterwise if you prefer lip surgery under IV sedation the price is $800 usd with 1 night"

Is L-Shaped implant would be fine?
what i'm afraid of implants are:
1. i'm afraid it'll make my nose look too pointy..
2. my nose look unatural
3. hardness of nasal tip
4. n so on..
i'm actually happy with round tip which look more natural.. but more defined would be nice

can anyone suggest what would look good and what's not?
i want a natural look, no fake looking, no HIGH bridge, a bit higher is ok..
anyone have some reference noses pictures that suits me well??

here's my pic:

Hi Foxxie, you're sooo pretty!! Please don't do your lips. They're hot. I consulted with a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills who is an expert in ethnic noses and defining tip and reducing the alar. He recommended not using the L implant because the tip thins out the skin over time and may start showing through- yikes!! Thats a risk and may not happen to everyone. Dr. David E Kim in BH recommended using only a partial impant to sit on top of the nose to fill in the bridge but not add the implant to the tip. Think you look amazing as is, but if have your heart set on getting work done...maybe just do the tip plasty and and bring the nostrils in.
