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.
