I've always wanted to change my nose growing up....
WORTH IT$15,000
I've always wanted to change my nose growing up. It was crooked and was very droopy. I was one of the only kids that was able to touch my upper lip past the tip of my nose. And I was taunted and teased about how manly I looked with my prominent nose. I've been playing with the idea of rhinoplasty one and off throughout my life until finally this year, my mom finally told me yes. I was estatic! I scheduled consultations with plastic surgeons in Minnesota and after all my appointments. I was left with feeling sad and more confused. Several of them said I would need to go to Chicago or California to fix the 'severity' of my nose. Which led me to Dr. Yoo. He specialized in Asian rhinoplasty and harvesting rib cartilage. That was exactly what I was looking for. After my consultation with him, I felt good about myself and more confident on choosing him as my doctor. The time finally came and it was surgery day! I flew from Minnesota to California, to his office. & we went through pre-op stuff the day I got to Cali. Surgery day was the next day, and to be honest. I wasn't nervous. Because of how nice the staff has been and how comfortable Dr. Yoo made me feel. I knew I was in good hands. I woke up completely fine & at post op day 4 today, I still feel good! Barely any bruising and I feel 100% fine. Haven't taken any pain killers or anything. Def recommend Dr. Yoo!! Also I would like to include, literally 5 hours after surgery and I was home. I took a extra credit final test over the phone with my professor and aced it! One of the funniest things that could happen but I did it! Just to shows how awesome Dr. Yoo is.

Happy with my results so far
My recovery is continuing to go better and better. My nose is less swollen but still pretty swollen if that makes sense haha. I am able to go out and about unnoticed that I had surgery but of course close friends and family can see the difference. I am in love with everything!

Did you have a bridge augmentation as well? You don't look swollen at all! I also got rhinoplasty with Dr. Yoo two weeks ago, but my bridge looks way too wide and tall due to the swelling. I can't wait for it to go down because my face looks so different right now.

Yes I did! My bridge was already high but it was uneven and I had literally no cartilage at my tip haha so we had to use my rib cartilage and diced fascia on my scalp. And really?? I also got mines done a little over two weeks ago

I'm not see why real self is cutting my replies but what helped with the swelling was going out in the cold (shopping outdoors and such) and it'll help with the swelling! Since you can't physically ice your nose haha

Was looking into this doctor I live in Florida but wow 15,000 I don't know if I can do it but I want it so bad!

It really depends on what you need done! Other people have been quoted lower prices, mines was more intense thus really high in price. You should def consult with him and see what would need to be done and how much it will be

Your nose looks fantastic!! Thanks for posting, it's so very helpful. Would you mind if I PM you with some questions?

I'm thinking of going to see Dr Yoo but I'm not from CA. Where did you stay during recovery? Any suggestions?

I used Airbnb and rented a house called "The Little House" in North Hollywood. Julio is super kind and it's super affordable compared to a hotel! Plus it's only a 22-30 minute drive to the doctors office from the home :)
