13th day post op, and im back home already.

My nose finally stopped the bloddy discharge on the 10th day post op, still very swollen and very obvuous people can tlel that i have just had something done.
My eyes, the swelling gone doen almost 80% and no more bruises. Altho abit assymtetrical but i can live it it as it not so obvious unless i purposely look at myself in mirror for more than 2 mins. Hopefully they are will be more even after the swell go down.
My chin has shown its shape and not so swollen now. The stitches still not yet removed and i cant wait to have it out of my mouth soon. Overall, the implants has tially change my faceshape.

Will update u guys the result and comment more abt the clinic after my final result shown yeah. Thats it for now. And for those who going for surgeries in Seoul anytime soon, please do consult with the clinics u r keen,take ur time and speak to the doctors,make sure he fully udnerstand what u want to have rather than what he gonne do on ur face(because u might nbot like it in the end),take ur time to consder which clinic to have surgeries after talking to all the surgeon and dont rush.

Good luck to everyone!! Happy healing!!!

I wouldn't go to Michigan for "the best plastic surgeon" state-side... The best I would imagine to be either in Beverly Hills or NYC. Just cause, the demand would be higher in those areas... Plus if you're Asian, I don't think you should trust your face to a white doctor... Also, when it comes to aftercare, I believe locals and foreigners tend to receive similar treatment... But for a foreigner fending for his/herself in a foreign country, mediocre post-op care feels worse than for a local living at home.

Some clinics that cater to foreigners offer special and extra services such as guesthouses, but as Eightbelow says, you shouldn't let that sway your decision.

The place I went to didn't offer a guesthouse, but you could come in and schedule a shampoo and laser deswelling treatment whenever you wanted, a service offered to both locals and foreigners. And many doctors appreciate foreigners' business more because they know that we've traveled far to trust these doctors with our faces/bodies. A respectful doctor would recognize that and feel honored. At least, that's what I was told from my clinic and Londonchick heard something similar from her doctor.

Just pick a kind, patient, and honest doctor, not one that seems frazzled and too busy to answer your questions. I think your consultation can be a good indicator of the type of surgeon a person is...

Hi Angiebellex,

I am not sure if its in the spam box? Coz even though we never meet in the past, she will still revert the same day, though she sounded so official. Let me drop her a mail to check her spam box. You might want to indicate the subject as "Translation service" to avoid going into spam? I am just guessing.:cool:

Yes, you need to visit at least 3 coz its eyes. It will change your look and you need to be prudent. Ask for their recommendation and reason to support their recommendation and diagnosis. I learnt now..

Some clinics do have English/Chinese consultant too.

Hi Emisa.

So you have not actually met her? I thought that you have actually used her. Will you be going to Korea soon or did you recently come back?
Thanks for the tip, i will try to email her again with that subject titel.

I am a little worried about the post -op care as well.. I was thinking of going for about 9 days. I understand that most places close on Sunday? And i am planning to arrive on a Friday afternoon.. maybe try and squeeze in one consultant and do another few the next day..and maybe surgery on the same day? Not sure if that is enough time.

When it is closer to date (i am planning to go early April2013) maybe i should ask if anyone is going along..always good to have companions.

Hey Angiebellex,

I've met Zoe during my recent surgery. She took care of me then. I meant in the past before I met her, I only communicate with her via email. Yes, please pls plan enough time for stitch removal. I bought air ticket that will allow change of flight schedule without additional charge, incase clinic needs to ground me for longer time.

Yes, companion is great!! Its very lonely and sometimes you could feel a little down after surgery. I was thankful to see Eightbelow n her gang everyday and shop together in the last few days.

Thanks Emisa! Hmmm fat graft sounds very tempting... maybe I will get it done then try to go for a 2nd fat graft 6 months later... I'll see how it goes in the consultations. I think I'm gonna plan on coming in March too being that it's not during peak season. If I could meet up with you guys that would be awesome! Please let me know :smile1:

Hi Emissa,

Good tip! i will definitely do that.

i know everyone has diff opinions about the clinics and surgeons that they go too. But as for starters, do you think; VIP, Regen and IOU are ok?

What are you getting again? Was it facial contouring? Duude... That's some gnarly business. I considered zygoma... and then I realized that I was bat **** crazy for even thinking about it... I hope you have someone who can help you out for the first few days... Especially if you don't speak Korean. Even then...

Well, Emisa and tons of forumers went and got everything done on their own. Good luck to you! Which clinics are you considering?

Dr Gim has given me exactly what I wanted. Lower bridge and similar to the ID nurse' tt I have requested for. But I din do sufficient homework to know the difference between straight nose and S nose. Like Grand said, he will give me a straight one, whereas Dr Gim said, an S + my request for low bridge and the nurse nose.

Dun think I am in the position to ask for free revision coz there's nothing wrong with my nose for now. So, I am keen to explore other clinics which have been doing many straight noses and proven.
