hi, i don't know exactly "when" becaues i don't know when i can afford a rhinoplasty and i also don't know if i'm gonna be mentally up for it either. costs depend on what you're having done just like other places, but also factor in travel and accommodations (which would be $1500-2000 for me with airfare, hotel, food, etc.), which is already a lot. i don't know how much it would cost at dream but already the travel costs are pretty steep. it will likely cost more to travel to korea to do surgery than to stay in my home country to do it but i keep seeing people disappear from my city and then magically re-appear with nose jobs that i'm not "supposed to know" which is sometimes so funny, heehee! (just people i had gone to high school or grade school with but are not close to.)

how about you? what are your plans?

Hello,
I planned to go in April 2010. It's like the best time for me. I narrowed down my search to two clinics, one in the Philippines and one in Bangkok.
That's true, we have the same situation. If I will go to any of the above clinics then I will go in April. But If I will go to Korea, I would need more savings..:D
I know what you're saying " the dissappearing act"..haha :D

I can't believe people consider traveling for nose jobs! I am getting one next week here in my home city, from a great surgeon and although cost isn't really a factor in wanting to look your best, he is cheaper than the Asian ones listed on this thread, esp when you consider travel costs.

A friends mother went OS to get her surgery ( like, her whole body!) and it looks fine, but i think you are kidding yourself if you think they are better or worse than anyone you can see face to face for several consults. I saw my surgeon three times, visited ladies who he had operated on, spoke to his nurse and anesthesiologist and only then did I choose him. Luckily in Australia our medical system pays for some of the operation if you choose twilight sedation.

Remember, your local laws don't protect you from negligence if something goes wrong in another country, you will basically be out $$$$ with no legal recourse if they botch it!

Hi guys,

I am happy that there is such forum like this discussing bout nose job.
I am filipina and want to have a nosejob. Since I did about 20-30 pages of backreading in this thread, I summed it up that Dr Jung of Korea would be the best. but thinking about my budget, I don't think he's gonna be my final option.

A friend of mine also wants to have a nosejob, and she told me about Yanhee hospital in Thailand. she said Doctors there are good in nosejob and would only cost $1,300 - 1,500 and she wants me to go with her.

Now, I am confuse. Any one of you knows Yanhee?

What about in Taiwan?

Would you rather pay less and deal with the possibility of getting your surgery redone? It seems better to take the time you need to save. Don't cut costs with your face, because damage could be permanent.

A poster at Cozycot had a rhinoplasty they didn't like at ID, then had it redone by Jung a week later. ID isn't bad, but they specialize in facial bone contouring not rhinoplasties. It's best to go to a doctor that is known for doing one or two surgeries very well, as opposed to a general doctor that may do many types of surgeries mediocre. Also, there were other posters on Cozycot that regretted having their surgeries done in places other than Korea. Their revisions were done by Korean doctors.

I originally was going to have it done in my home country too, but I'm not convinced the surgeons have enough experience. Cost isn't an issue for me. The doctors with the most skill and experience is.

Thanks for the heads up! I am encourage now to save my money up for another year and go to Korea for Dr. Jung.

I agree, do not be cheap to your face and the damage could be permanent. Just to let you guys know, the dollar value is going down. Right now, it's okay, but it will go down soon. Probably next year
Also, you must follow the doctor's recommendation. Sure having a tall nose is nice but you must consider other things in your face. You cannot have a sharp and tall nose if you have broad cheeks and a weak chin. As I stated before, surgery alone will not make you beautiful. My advice is workout toned or defined your body and face too if you wanna beautiful at max.

i'm now considering these clinics:
= bk clinic
= oz clinic
= dream clinic (though i have not heard back from them after emailing them)
= dr jung
= shimmian manila (in the philippines, not korea, anyone have info on dr. lansangan?)

... i am considering them but i am very scared after reading that long post earlier on by someone named "panache" (with some #'s behind the name, maybe panache397?) that something bad might happen and they're not gonna take responsibility for any mistakes they might make :s... especially because i am a foreigner... but that would be the case with all travelling, i think... too bad there are no places where i am that i am interested in having surgery...

what do you guys suggest?

If you look in BK's forum you can see some unsatisfied patients, and the doctor will tell them to get lost basically. I wouldn't take a chance with that.

What do you want to get done? Each doctor is best at certain things.

OZ = Calf Reduction
Jung = Rhinoplasty
BK = Eyes

Veritec Clinic. Their website pictures are looking great; a lot of dramatic change from before to after. I'm bringing the pictures to Korea to explain what I need.

Thank you for the info. Why aren't you getting it done in Japan?

You're welcome. You will feel so much better knowing you are going to the best surgeon. Instant gratification and cheap surgery doesn't turn out very well most of the time.

ahh! i like a lot of the things you said about finding right doctor, thanks. i`m just so eager to get it fixed, finally. i think i waited a long time and still just have the same worries about finding the right doctor, the right time, the moneymoney! haha. looks like i might be taking some time and saving up before going then, considering the travel costs AND surgery costs. but i`m so obsessed and all over these kinds of boards :wtf: and can`t stop thinking about it, haha!

bk`s only one who has replied so far. i`m waiting on dream, oz, and dr. jung and very eager to hear a reply... but haven`t received one yet :sad:

i wanna ask this specific person so bad! but i can`t just go right up to her and ask her, i don't wanna be that kinda rude! i`m not close with her. i think she got it done in vietnam... speaking of which, are the clinics there good? i'd just be more scared because i hear there's little regulation there, or maybe there is regulation but many of the doctors are not legitimately qualified :sad: ... and i also don't speak vietnamese either... nor korean, haha!

I will be going to see Dr. Tseng in a couple days. I'm very nervous at the moment since I don't know any Chinese at all. I keep worrying about everything - if they accept American dollars, how I will find my way around, if I will have trouble communicating with Dr. Tseng what improvements I would like to make...the list is endless! Please wish me luck (or if you pray, then PLEASE pray for me!), and I will be sure to update you all on my results!

I went under dr. Lansangan. Huge mistake. Read my previous posts to know more about him.
