Very happy with my new younger face! Unretouched pic of course! Left cheek still swollen - and now every once in a while there is tingling in my face I guess the nerves are growing back.

Well you must have come and gone I am back in the United States but there is still some swelling definitely on my left cheek. Other than that I'm very pleased with the results and even abdomen doesn't hurt anymore. That was the most painful part!! My friends are all taking down the name of this doctor in Vietnam as they really left the work and I do too I would definitely recommend him and although I hope that I don't need two would definitely use them again in the future. Signing off!

Glad it went well. And we all wish you well. Hopefully for anything further you will consider somewhere else to go.
Life is strange. Not so long ago American soldiers fought and died in the tens of thousands over there (the city you were in was called Saigon back then). I wonder what they would have thought if they knew that some years later American citizens would be flying into the killing fields for a face lift? Not your fault. It's the post-sixties culture which does not honor our veterans or teach respect for them in the schools. But American medical tourism to Vietnam makes "Apocolypse Now" prophetic in that it showed how a national tragedy could become surreal if we lose track of what's important. Again, it's not your fault. The drift of the current culture robs people of awareness of many things.
Not nice to add this to her story
I agree, not necessary comment.
Vietnam war was started with lies like all the wars usa has been in since ww2. I don't know any vets who blame the Vietnamese for that mess. greed of the military industrial complex and self interested politicians were responsible. many viet nam vets have traveled there yo enjoy Vietnam now that it has peace.
see d. crockett response of April 19, 2015
You look fantastic!
Thank you!
Maybe I missed something, but could you post his web address and web page? Nguyen is an extremely common name in Vietnam. This was a terriffic summary of your experiences. Thank you.
The above is a response to Christina Roberts.
Hello my darling, you look fabulous. How are you? The swelling on the left cheek is hardly noticeable. It was only because you mentioned it and in the first photo you are showing it to the camera, where as with photo no.2 had you not said anything I would nt hv noticed at all.
Hope you enjoyed the whole experience throughout your journey, working with the monkey sanctuary etc. Now back to the states to carry on your life with a refreshed gorgeous looking new you.
I am considering my work for October half term, possibly back to Philipines ,as I know the doctors there. Will keep you updated. Take care and be proud . Warmest hugs from Amanda, Denis and Lottie-louise
HI! I was just thinking of you today - I was telling someone that I was cooped up in the hotel for 6 days and then I sprung myself out! She said I looked great - that it didn't look like I had work done but that I looked refreshed (haha - like refreshed 10 years!!) Hope you are great - where are your next travels?

5 weeks!
I think it looks okay. My nose is my favorite part I think and my new waistline!! The left side is much more swollen and numb than the right side. The dr said it could be three months before it goes down and one year to have the feeling back. Sometimes the seams bothered me and I itched them and it turned out there were leftover stitches. I have pulled out three! I hope there are no more inside waiting to become infected!

Very pretty! I would be thrilled with results like yours.
I tried to google this doctor in Viet Nam, but only got the ones in the USA...
Try again as I gt his website straight away.
Hi darling, you look fabulous . You don't sound like your convinced with the results, you mention yr great nose but not the rest. All looks great to me. The tummy I can understand , but finding stitches! No wonder you where itchy.
Similar thing happened to Lilly , one of my dogs. She got bitten by one of the monkeys that come into our garden and then had to have surgery, after a few weeks took her back to hv her stitches removed. Then after this went home and poor Lilly was very itchy and then that was when I saw some stitches that had been left in.
When I had my eyes done about 4/5 years ago my stitches didn't want to stay in, my eyes had healed so fast the stitches were being pushed out and I ended up removing them myself as they came lose .
Anyway , hope all is well with you and volunteering with yr monkeys is going well. Must be time to head home soon. Wishing you lots of hugs from Amanda.
HI Sweetie - Great hearing from you - everything is going swimmingly - back in the US and missing traveling!! My left cheek is still swollen - but I love how my eyes are healing and my right cheek is great as is my new hour glass figure! I will post a pic - what is your email again?
Wow, great results! Amanda mentions volunteering with monkeys, do tell more about that? What sort of Monkeys, and was it an organised trip through a company? Sorry I've side lined the surgery, you must be thrilled!
I volunteered at the Gibbon Sanctuary in Tak Provence, Thailand http://www.gibbonathighlandfarm.org/
OK I have to check out the website but where is it? The hospital site is all in Vietnamese, whatclinic has links to book appointments but I am guessing they add commissions? So if anyone found the site can they share :) ? Thanks
