Hi
may i ask if you had replace the L shape with l ?
January 29, 2016
Hi, No I just ended up taking out the L (no implant now) and the doctor just filled the stretched out areas with alloderm in the tip :)

Also, keep in mind there is capsule left which surrounded the previous implant, so my bridge is a bit higher now.

Your nose looks beautiful. I'm also interested in having revision. I'm having a difficulty accepting my new nose because it changed my eyes, (closer to each Other) and I think I looked better with a low bridge. What do you mean by a capsule left which surrounded the implant? Would that be scar tissue?
January 26, 2016
How much did you pay? I had surgery with another Plastic surgeon in California and am having issues as well.
January 28, 2016
Your nose looks so good!!

I'm also from Canada and was looking into going to Korea for an asian rhinoplasty. Your results looks absolutely beautiful, if you have time to answer some of my concerns on getting surgery in Korea from Canada, that would be amazing!

Why, thank you. Sure, np :)

Silicone Removal

RSgirl92
I have just removed the silicone put by Dr. Brown in Korea, and I cannot believe that I was to lied to. He put put an L shaped silicone but I was told by Dr Brown and Tanya (the nurse) that I will be having an I-shaped silicone. I am so disgusted by his dishonesty and his staff. In his website, he advertises that he uses ear cartilage for the tip and and silicone for the bridge, which does not match what the Korean surgeon has just took out.

Can I ask how long it took for your nose to heal after the L shape implant was removed? How long did the swelling last? Thanks

HI, I PMed you

I haven't swelled nearly as much as the first time. It's a bit sore but nothing noticeable.

Did you also get a revision in Korea?
December 24, 2015
I didn't know what was the best option for my case but I knew I didn't want foreign material in my nose knowing that I will have to take it out one day; but Dr. Suh was very knowledgeable about what would happen if i take out the implant out: collapsed, botched looking nose. He said that dermis placement was necessary for areas with thinned skin from the implant. Dr. Suh also stated that I didn't have to graft it from my own body because I would be left with unwanted scars so he decided to use alloderm.

Wow. I don't agree with the culture of suing but I definitely think you have a case here. You should get your file from him to see what it says he put into your nose. I'm fuming for you. He should be put out of business and everyone should be warned about him. I'm sorry for your horrible experience. This Doctor should be made to pay for what he did to you!

What's the name of the clinic that you went to in Korea?
December 9, 2018
Gosh, I am so sorry to hear this.
It must be a terrible feeling having been deceived like that, especially by your doctor.

I'm so glad you finally found your resolution. Congratulations and enjoy it.
