I reside in Australia, and cosmetic surgery is super expensive! After a two year long research on the best asian/ethnic rhinoplasty surgeons i decided to settle on travelling to Manila in the Philippines. I'll be getting Rhinoplasty with Goretex Implant, Liposuction to:
-Chin/Jawline
-Upper/Lower Abdomen
-Flanks
-Back
-Arms
-Imner thighs
With the possibility of fat being transferred into the lateral buttocks. This will be decided once i get there to do the physical consultation.
For the liposuction and rhinoplasty i'll be charged $6,993.90 AUD ALL INCLUSIVE:
-TESTS
-GARMENTS
-ANESTHESIOLOGIST
-MEDICATION
And if i need to stay overnight or as long as i would like too, it is free.
A complete Breakdown:
Rhinoplasty + Goretex Implant + Alarplasty+ Tiplasty
-$2,405.64
LIPOSUCTION
-$4528.26
ACCOMODATION + FLIGHTS
Two people return $2,000.00 TOTAL
NOTE: All prices were converted to the current, currency exchange. However i will post the exact prices. As for the fat transfer i am unsure until i get there l.
The dr i decided to go with is Dr. Eric Yapjuangco. I have been in constant contact with The Iconic Clinic and they've been very speedy with their replies explaining all the details via whatsapp. I haven't spoken to the doctor directly and im most certain that im talking to his administrative team. I did feel that, after i sent my photos to them via whatsapp for a consulation they tried to upsell me on a mini tummy tuck. However, after much research and after feedback from other doctors where they mentioned that i wouldn't need a mini tummy tuck and that the skin would contract back once the fat is removed. So i told them, that i don't want a tummy tuck at all. The then said it will depend on the physical consultation.
I als have a secondary doctor aswell who i may visit who i've done research on and will most likely go and have a consultation to get his feedback and then decide which doctor i feel has my best interest at hand. Although, Dr Yapjuangco team tried to upsell me on a tummy tuck i noticed that he operate on alot of foreigners aswell.
Overall im in good shape and i work out 6 days per week and weight lift everyday. However, i do have stubborn fat that im finding difficult to shift.

In doing a liposuction and upper eyelid blepharoplasty in the Phil too . I researched mds. Using tickle liposuction with dr Hil Dineros .Minimal bruising , local anesthesia . I'm doing mine in June . Good luck with your procedure .

Are you familiar with the Philippines? What areas are you doing liposuction on?
March 24, 2016
Yes I'm fr the Phil but residing in Houston right now . Going back home for the procedure . I'm doing upper arms , abs, flanks with fat transfers to breast and butt . I believe your clinic is one of the top ones so you shd be okay . I also talked to dr roura for liposuction total of 6 thousand dollars , she's using Vaser though and I heard it's rough post op than tickle .
March 24, 2016
Yes i contacted Dr Roura aswell, as i was interested in getting Vaser intially, but then when i asked her about rhinoplasty, she didn't seem as advanced, and didn't give me any information at all besides "simple silicone implant" nothing else. And she quoted me $8,500AUD
For upper/lower abdomen, Flanks, Full Back, Inner thighs, Chin, Arms.

Oh I see, I've looked into new life plastics and belo too ..but opted with dr Dineros w the tickle liposuction .I don't know if others use it. Are you doing smart lipo or Vaser ?
March 25, 2016
I contacted belo too and spoke with Dr. James B. Joaquino. Belo told me that they don't do online consultations and that i had to go in there pay a fee and then get a consultation. Dr Joaquino i spoke with him on whatsapp. I was feeling really comfortable with him till i read some bad reviews it has me second guessing. But I'm thinking about seeing him anyway for a consultation. No i'll be getting traditional liposuction done with possible fat transfer.

Let me know if you want to see dr Dineros . you can talk to him on Skype too for consultation just to compare . I have seen him do an open rhinoplasty on a friend , very good , fast , artistic , efficient plus very good personality .

Dr. Belo is a good plastic and cosmetic surgeon too, but their services was too expensive, and if they give you a price, the cost of services u want to do are not yet included consultation fee or anesthecia. For me, i preffered to go to Dr. Eric Yapjuangco. He is the best..

Hi how did you go with your surgery? Which Dr did u go to? Are u happy with it? Let’s chat on ig.im planning to get one done soon. Thanks

Good choice. Dr. Eric Yapjuangco of The Icon Clinic is the best. I will be having also a butt augmentation with him thoa coming October. I choosed him also coz he made rhianoplasty to my friend, and it was so amazing. You can see also his works in their fb page. Its not also about his good works but he is really a certified plastic surgeon.
