Your nose looks great! Do you have thick nasal skin? I am Asian and have very thick nasal skin so I'm wondering how bad my swelling might be

the picture is really bad quality, but here's a picture of me right after my cast was removed. really embarrassing - swelling at its worst, no make up, and just awful.

hmm.. putting ur best angle aside, is the crookedness looks obvious?? coz ur latest pic looks gorgeous! im still hesitant if i should do in philippines with dr. levi though.. but im know considering shimmian korea, but is quite hesitant bcoz it might be a totally different aesthetic standard or culture there. it seems the best country in asia for surgery though

thank you! but yes, to me the crooked nose is obvious. it's not symmetrical because of how they put the cast on (so be sure to speak to your doctor if you feel like something isn't right). when i point it out to my friends, they notice it too... but only when i point it out.
if money and convenience wasn't an issue, i probably would've considered Korea. they seem to do pretty amazing work over there. i was talking to someone from korea and she said that it cost just as much US $$ to get it done there. i was also hearing rumors that Shimmian Manila shows work from the doctor at Shimmian Korea. i'm not sure if this is true, but maybe you can ask? i'm curious as well, but i found out after i posted this review. no use in asking anymore.

this is the most, or probably the only detailed and honest review abt philippine rhinoplasty i have ever read on the net. ur review is reallyhelpful!:)
Anyway, have u heard abt nose fillers? It's in a nonsurgical nose job ideally for minor changes, like nose bump, crookedness, and to slightly increase the height of nose bridge, and i've read it can't do so much abt bulbous tip. they actually recommend this better than rhinoplasty if u don't need that drastic change. the only downfall is u have to re-inject every year and it's pricey. the good thing though is that it's reversible in case u don't like it.
So maybe u can consider the nose filler for ur slightly crooked nose.. as i've also read people doing it after to perfect their nose after rhinoplasty

Thank you! I had such a hard time trying to find reviews about doctors in the Philippines. i wish that wasn't the case, i wouldn't have wasted a week+ or pushing back my surgery date looking for a last minute doctor. i didn't feel good about the original doctor i was consulting with when I finally arrived. On top of that, i didn't see a lot of detailed reviews anywhere when I was freaking out all by myself about the swelling. All i kept reading was "wait 6 months to a year" and that was it! I was not at ease for a whole month.
Oh cool, i've never heard of that non surgical procedure. It's okay, I told myself that this was it for me. I'm happy with the results overall, so I don't want to mess with it anymore. I also had breast aug at the same time (I didn't write a review about it because I feel like there's enough information out there). Also, the last thing I want is to get addicted to cosmetic surgery! It's so easy to pick on things you want to perfect about yourself. I'm satisfied now and I hope you will be too :)
...and let me know if you have anymore questions along the way!

I'm searching for Filipino reviews who have done rhinoplasty in Korea, but I couldn't fine any. Have u guys seen their before & after pics? Totally amazing!!! esp their jaw reduction surgery which i would like to have as well:( But i don't know.. pictures are still. I saw some people that are pretty yet somehow they look weird, bcoz of those works done. Even those celebrities who can afford the most expensive surgeons like Ruffa Gutierrez & Gretchen Baretto look weird now

Learning how to pose with angles in pictures because of my slightly crooked nose. Haha!
I just got over a cold. I've been pretty healthy and I haven't gotten this sick since last year. I became very congested and I let my nose run because I was scared to blow my nose too hard. I started to get annoyed with it so I tried blowing my nose a little harder each time and it seemed okay. Nose still feels like there's something foreign in it, but it's completely flexible now! Before I was terrified it would rip if I stretched it, but not anymore. Progress!

Your nose looks great. I can see your eyes and lips stand out now. You look amazing, well done! Can't wait to get my nose done at Beverly Hills Medical Group in December, hope my surgery works out as good as yours!
