Ethnic Rhinoplasty

I've been planning this for years! I want my bridge narrowed, bulbous tip reduced/removed and nostrils reduced. I don't care to keep it ethnic looking or not honestly. I will post a few "wish" pictures.

So far I have an appointment for consultation on July 7, 2017 with Dr. Lee Kleiman (Severna, MD). I made the appointment in early June 2017 but it was the earliest day they had for consultation. They will be giving me a quote for rhinoplasty, laser hair removal and laser tattoo removal.

I'm debating between getting treatment here or South Korea. Depending on the quotes delivered, South Korea (including airfare and stay) may or may not be more affordable. I'm paying completely out of pocket so quality and price is equally important. I don't see many reviews or pictures for Dr. Kleiman, after researching, so I'm not completely sure yet who I will choose in the end

I'll be sure to update later!

Had consultation with Dr. Kleiman on July 21, 2017 for rhinoplasty, hair removal (Groupon deal) and suggestions for under eye darkness.

Didn't wait too long to be seen. I am a new patient so I had to fill out paperwork about my desires and medical history. Dr. Kleiman is very friendly. I felt comfortable with the appointment other than a little rushed. Because this is surgery (rhinoplasty) I had a lot to say and ask about it. I don't feel like I had the opportunity to really elaborate on everything I wanted but I do have another follow up "consultation" appointment (August 1, 2017) to discuss the surgery further, costs, before and after photos (possible outcome), etc; along with my first laser hair removal treatment.

I appreciate the availability of appointments because I want to have this procedure done as soon as possible because I have an event to attend in September and the healing process takes a while for rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty can be complicated so I only trust an ENT surgeon to perform it. I'm paying out of pocket, without financing, so I did years of research and saving and narrowed my options to 3 surgeons. Dr. Kleiman (Maryland, USA) and 2 other surgeons in South Korea. Depending on how well this next consult with Dr. Kleiman goes next week I may or may not be scheduling my surgery here in America or in South Korea. Wish me well! :)

*P.S. I will not be discussing how much I end up paying specifically BUT I don't mind revealing whether it was affordable compared to other rhinoplasty procedures (average costs).

Here's some ethnic noses with defined bridges and tips. Some with narrower alars.

I have Malaysian in me (further down the line) so I uploaded black and Asian women.
