Did he show you pictures of before and after rhinoplasties. Also did he show you a 3 D picture of what he thinks you re nose will look like when you went in for consultation?

Yes he did show me before & after pictures. He also showed me a computer image of how my nose would look like. In retrospect, I could just have given him the reins.

It was a computer image but not 3D actually. My nose now is so much better than that. I see that u had rhinoplasty already & you are not happy with the result, am I right?

I suggest that you call and make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Yoo and ask him for his opinion. I will still be here to answer your questions about my rhinoplasty experience and result. Good luck harmony.323 :)

Hi Realmara23, I love your nose. So was it painful or any complication for the rib post surgery? Did he remove a whole rib out of your body? Will the cartilage grows back ? Just curious. Thanks!

Thank you Dream29. It wasn't painful. It was just uncomfortable for a week and no complications from the surgery. I think he cut and removed an inch or two from my rib cartilage to be used for the bridge of my nose and from what I read before, cartilage grows back slowly.

Beautiful before and afters! Although your nose fit your face beforehand I think it is much more fitting with the after. thanks for the informative post!

Love your new nose! It looks natural and fits your face perfectly!! I was thinking about going to Korea because they have more experiences with Asian nose but I may have to look up Dr. Yoo now!!

Thank you for sharing! What sort of a graft did you have put into your nose to create the bridge? You look fabulous!

Hello and thank you.. Dr. Yoo used cartilage from my rib to create the bridge.

Great results. May I ask why you opted for rib cartilage instead of goretex? Did Dr. Yoo give you that option? I am going to have my revision soon & my father doesn't want me to use rib cartilage... :(

Thank you. I was given two options, ear or rib cartilage & I chose the latter to make sure he gets enough cartilage for the nose bridge.

Wow ! You look beautiful now but I want to know does it bring any side effects like Michael Jackson's case?

Thanks Alfred Jun. My surgeon is Dr. Donald B. Yoo & one of best ones out there. I'm sure he did not do MJ's because obviously, I don't have a nose like MJ. I'm not sure but MJ probably had multiple surgeries resulting to that effect.

I love your results. I am interested in choosing dr. Yoo as my doctor. What made you choose him over others?

Thank you Jane! Dr. Yoo was highly recommended by Dr. Paul Nassif. I made an appt for a consultation & I felt comfortable with him right away.. so that was it! I'm so glad I made the right decision because I am really happy with the result.

I love the results! I'm in Dallas, TX. If I live in CA, I would see Dr. Yoo. I'm searching for the best doctor here.
