Hey, I've Had my nose done by Dr Yap and am so distraught, waiting for my 1 year mark so I can do something about this hideous thing on my face and get a revision. I seriously would take in ALL reviews, since I've left my review I've got heaps of other girls messaging me saying they're in the same situation as me for some reason no reviews are being put up now I find quite a few on forums. Does it not bother you as a surgeon he is uploading before/after with straight mug shots for pre op pics, with no make up or filters but the 'improved' post op pics have filters, great lighting, make up and more flattering angles. I believe that is a massive deception, the factors making the pictures incomparable. The clinic itself has been shut down due to patient death and inconsistencies in his and staffs stories, hes now working out of a temp location apparently which isn't very appealing but it is run like a sweatshop, pray you are not unfortunate to have your surgery in the evening as the staff work long hours from morning to late night with no organisation, they have consultations, operations and follow ups back to back all day. It is only natural to get tired and unfortunately it is peoples livelihood and confidence (and actual life as in the case of the young lady that unfortunately recently passed) in which you trust them with which is at jeopardy when they make tired, careless mistakes. Wish you all the best in your journey!

I did think it was strange that a lot of the pics on IG appeared to be filtered...so I started doing my own digging. I found at least a dozen of Dr. Yap's actual patients and began following some of his patient's personal IG pages. To my surprise the filters didn't really hide much of anything. Most were pretty good and the patients seemed quite satisfied, but I'm so sorry for your experience and I truly appreciate how open and honest you are about what went wrong with your procedure. I think you'll find a doctor who will be able to give you exactly what you're looking for honestly. I agree that his practice could use a lot of improvement in terms of customer service. But wether you're getting work done in a "sweatshop" or in Beverly Hills, there's still the potential of not being as satisfied as the next patient. Why?...because everyone's nose is different and every patient's expectations are different.
July 27, 2017
Its great you did your own digging!
I would genuinely be satisfied coming out with even no change to my old nose or the slightest improvement, but I've actually come out with a worse nose with wide bridge, bulbous tip, visible scarring and an extremely uneven collumella that screams awful nose job at you ;(

The purpose of the consultation is to lay these expectations on the surgeon if they happen to be unrealistic or unachievable it should be said, you never agree to something you cant even remotely achieve and do the complete opposite of the patients wishes. Unfortunately, I'm not in a situation where i'm being a picky perfectionist and I have minor issues with a great job done, I've been left with an awful looking nose which does not go with my face at all and unlike before contouring does not even help me.


Thank you!
I hope all goes well for you and keep us updated x

Lxf, just make your peace and move on. Unfortunately, we all have to travel our own road. I know an office being shut down multiple times would scare me, but we all have our own paths. Sorry to hear about your situation.
July 31, 2017
It's one of them things where it's easier said then done. I have to look at myself every single day and be reminded that I've paid someone to ruin my face. I could only 'move on' when I get revision and it is rectified.

@lxf95, I totally feel you hunny, vent all you want ..that is what this site is for. I think you are absolutely beautiful btw, nothing the next doc can't fix. Wishing you all the best in the journey doll! Please keep us posted.

To be clear, I wasn't telling Lxf to move on about her own personal situation, but to let the issue with the OP go. If the OP has decided on this doc, then there isn't anything we say or do to change her mind.
User Avatar
August 24, 2017
@H_M ..I get it. I just wanted LxF to feel totally supported from RS community, without feeling judged or limited regarding the expression of feelings/disappointment. positive vibes, support and understanding is so helpful here and exactly what we need and seek from RS community. Just here to share, support, Inform, encourage and inspire. Happy journey and healing to us all!
August 26, 2017
Thank you doll!
Apparently expressing my issues with my experience means I have an 'issue' with the 'OP' but whatever..
User Avatar
August 24, 2017
I definitely agree! That's partly why I said Lxf should just focus on being positive where the OP is concerned. State your concern, but don't let the situation stress you or the OP out, you know? The OP seems happy with her choice of surgeon and she is close to her procedure date and the last thing I'm sure she wants is deal with any more stress than what she's probably dealing with already. Let's just wish her best for her journey and pray that she gets good results.
August 26, 2017
If you reread my comment, I did just that I wished her the best and that was all. I expressed my concerns as I have actually undergone the procedure already I only wish someone had told me something similar prior so I can consider my decision weighing the positives AND negatives, in light to her response I respect her decision to go fourth and actually praised the fact she did her own digging.
My experience was negative and that is what this forum is for sharing your experiences hence you must excuse the fact that I don't have much to say which is positive regarding it.
I do not know what issue you refer to with the 'OP' as far as I am aware she did not have an issue either it was just you, I am not forcing her to do anything, I wish her the best.

Hi! WHat is your goal nose for Dr. Yap
User Avatar
January 24, 2017
I want to reduce the size of my nose/nostrils and have him create a bridge because I barely have one.
January 27, 2017
Is his price really 2,000? Can you please share more in detail. The asking deposit to save your date... The cost to get to him and the trip you have planned, thanks a milli :))

January 27, 2017
Yes the sx is $2000 USD. I'm
booking thru TripAdvisor.com. After a Skype consult you may send your deposits to secure your sx date. I haven't booked my hotel yet but I anticipate the entire sx and other expenses will probably be around $5000.00 or less.

Look at the recent picture he posted of the African american rhinoplasty!
User Avatar
January 28, 2017
I just saw it. He's the one for me! I'm glad I found a doctor who specializes in ethnic noses and does amazing work! Only thing is this 18 hour flight....it's worth it to me though.
January 28, 2017
I agree! The loong flight is a little much but like you said definitely worth it! Are you nervous about getting a gortex implant?
January 30, 2017
Thank you for the info. I want to go to him also... but I don't want to travel alone. How long are you staying afterwards? Until he removes everything? I will keep up with you... if I gotta go alone then so be it... lol
January 30, 2017
I am in communication with him now. Its kind of slow going, but info is being conveyed. I hope to schedule my surgery with him for sometime in may (this year) and i plan on traveling alone. If anyone is interested perhaps we can go at the same time. #buddysystem
January 31, 2017
ctgirlz I plan on scheduling with him for rhinoplasty in May of this year as well...I just hope the slots aren't up by the time I can make my deposit next week or so...I'm flying there alone as well from Texas. If you want to be travel buddies or meet up once there that would be nice if you're down. I just hate the prospect of a long flight alone...
January 27, 2017
I hope he does a good job because his price is very good for this procedure.
January 28, 2017
He did mine too. He is ready to listen to your concerns too until u are happy with your result.. you can trust him. He is cool and naughty(playful)!!!! Lol..
January 28, 2017
How are your results? Did you get a big change
April 23, 2017
He did yours? Are you pleased? I want to go in may

January 29, 2017
Not one bit...you??
January 29, 2017
I kind of am because I have seen doctors on here talk about getting an infection from the implant
February 2, 2017
Sounds good. Do you have an exact date for surgery yet?
February 2, 2017
Not yet. I plan to put in my deposit in the next one or two weeks so hopefully May won't get booked up, though I'm also open to June. Do you have your date yet?
February 2, 2017
No i don't have a date yet, but I've told them that i'd like a may date. Communication is going slow at the moment. Did you have lags in communication with them also. Due to their response?
February 3, 2017
I did have a few messages that went unanswered for about a day. but most of the time I got an answer a few minutes to hours later. It seems to happen when I see he is on vacation with his family on his Instagram, which I understand. The clinic or patient coordinator seems to be much quicker with responses than Dr. Yap himself. Are us emailing him or using WhatsApp?
February 3, 2017
I've been using Whatsapp. Hopefully they resume communication sooner than later. Meanwhile when you get your date let me know and I will request to be done around the same time. How long do you plan on staying?
February 3, 2017
I'll definitely let you know when I secure my date :) I plan on staying nine days after surgery. Just so I can rest up for a day after the stitches are taken out.
February 8, 2017
Hey can you give me his email please? I'm unable to download whatsapp and I really want to get in contact with him!
February 8, 2017
February 8, 2017
I don't know his email off hand. I've never used it. Check for him on instagram. "Dr yap" and i think you can find methods of communucation there

I search this doc and the only match i found is in the Philippines. Where are you going for surgery?
July 26, 2017
He is located in the Philippines, I definitely would not recommend him personally, I've had an awful experience.
January 20, 2017
My goodness he is amazing but he is in Philippines /!!!! please keep us posted
March 15, 2017
He did my nose and I am not pleased. I have to wait for next year to get a revision
July 26, 2017
I'm in the exact same boat! Honestly so unhappy, I can barely leave the house.
Who will you be going to for revision?
