WORTH IT$2,200
Nearly 90days post op. Scarring around my nostrils is annoying me, I can’t go out without concealer on it but I’m happy with the results and will get laser treatment after 6months post op (something I advise you to budget for if you choose Dr Yapjuanco).
My tip is still a bit hard but my nostrils have softened. Dr yappy listened to me when I said I wanted it natural, it literally looks like a better version of my old nose! Which is brilliant but the vanity in me wants it even more snatched but I’ll leave it for a few years before making that decision.
I stayed at Pan Pacific Manila hotel, 30mins from the icon clinic in traffic/rush hr. I had a driver which was wonderful as he stayed during my surgery, picked up my prescription from the pharmacy and helped me around.
Paid $2000 + $200 deposit & about $80 (but in pesos) for my blood/X-ray tests, $20 (but in pesos) for medication.
Staff are lovely! He was very busy so I only saw him twice in my whole 2 weeks there..lol?? Which was on the day of surgery and 8 days post op (my “consultation” was literally 10 mins before I was put to sleep). He didn’t even take out my stitching, the nurse did, he only came to say hello to me and feel the nose then tell me about the healing process. Still happy with the outcome though he could’ve made it cuter, but natural is what I asked for so... my bad. And my ear is horrid ugh, went to a doc over here and they said I will be able to get it reconstructed at 12months post op which I will not be doing, I just can’t be asked to pay and go through it all again. So I’ll just learn to love my fkd up ear.

Your nose looks really really good. Very natural. Your ear doesn’t look that bad.

The dark strip that was there before is gone and it’s been to be fully closed at the back. The ear is still stiff but I can move ur will my hand a bit and fold it, where as before it was like glass.
I still feel it looks deformed, especially compared to my other ear.
My nose is healing well but the nostril scars are getting to me.. I literally can’t go out bare faced without someone asking “what happened”. I get little bumps on them which scare me as keloids but I realised when I scrub the area twice a day I don’t get them so I believe it’s down to my oily skin. The tips softened up a little but I still can’t move my nose with my face, like wiggle it and when I make any facial movement the nose literally stays stiff which I ain’t mad at (no wrinkles). Like you’d gotten Botox. So you can’t smile fully without your nose feeling like a rock or pull silky faces. Hoping the scars heal but month 6!

I see you!!! Trust the process and don’t over do the scrubbing of your scars. That could make them more visible by obstructing the natural heeling process. Also, get you some arnica tea and drink it. It will help with swelling and settle your results. I can’t see your pictures well but I hope to see them in the near future. Oh another thing, I felt numbness and discomfort in both areas for about a year and it just went away

Did they offer assistance with choosing hotel, flight, driver, etc...?

Hi, yes they have a hotel above the hospital (I did not stay there), but they give you options of nearby hotels and which airport etc & I have the number of the driver that took care of me and even carried me and picked up my medicine after the surgery. You can message me for his WhatsApp. Very sweet Filipino man.
Even though he changed his technique he is STILL messing up people's ears.
