Hi guys so as I said I was also going to do rhinoplasty! Well today I went for it!
Flew in to the next city to get my nose done by the best surgeon EVER. Honestly he just excels in every single category you can imagine. And the hospital staff was the greatest. They treated me as carefully as you would treat a baby!
So, details about my pre-op nose. Firstly the bridge is veeeery slightly curved. I was told that this is like a really mild deviated septum. This never bothered me though so I wasn't looking to get it fixed but if it was then hey, bonus. Secondly I felt that the nasal bone was a bit wide creating a flat look from the front but the doctor actually said my nasal bone is alright - it's the tip that needs a lot of work! For the longest time I felt that my nose tip and nostrils are the ugliest ever. The doctor said it is uncommon for asian to have a tip like mine since the columella is so wide and the angle of my nose tip was such that my nostrils showed very much. I always feel I look like a piggy from certain angles. Anyway, he asked if I wanted an implant to heighten the nose as well or just cartilage for the tip.. so I took both. I did choose a low-profile implant for my nose though even though the doctor offered a bigger one as I don't want my look to change so drastically.
Anyway enough talking here is a pic of a before/after from today. Note that I took the photo a bit after the surgery before putting on the plaster so the nose is already swollen! The swelling at the bridge will come down in a few weeks to give a feminine curve as the dr said. Feel free to ask things if you're curious,I love talking about surgeries :)
I will update with more pics tomorrow :)

Are you do this surgery with dr irawan as well? Also I would like to know how was ur buccat fat result so far.. It was worth it? are u happy with the result? I am so keen to do it but still kinda worried looks too hollow and old :|

No I did this surgery with dr Beta :) actually I didn't have much buccal fat to begin with, so turns out my cheeks are just chubby with outside fat haha. He didn't remove a lot. But I can tell the difference and I can see what you mean by a hollow look.
I think you have to look at your face bone structure and decide what kind of look you are going for. For example, if you are going for Angelina Jolie with defined cheekbones then I think buccal might be right for you. But if you're going for a full-faced Japanese cute teenage girl look then you probably shouldn't go for buccal.. instead try stuff like ultrasound v sculpting or something. Anyway ask your doctor if you have the right face type and also remind him not to remove too much :)

Btw - went over your profile and saw your pic - I think it's not your cheeks that are chubby, I think you have a short small chin like I did, which made my face look round. If you have to improve it, rather than get buccal fat removal which is permanent, try chin implant first, the addition of height to your face will give it a slim appearance. And if you don't like the result after 3 months you could always reverse it :)

Swollen

I would have posted a current picture but I think I look disgusting with all the blood on the bandaids so I'll save you guys the scene!
Tomorrow evening I am going to the doctor's to take off the bandaids and remove the nasal packing.. phew! Finally I would be able to breathe from my nose and taste food again... a bit worried because I read that removing the packing will hurt but I guess I have to go through it anyway. And if I can go through liposuction on local.. I can go through anything!
I will post a pic tomorrow evening of my very likely to be swollen nose. There are already swelling around my eyes but I kinda like it, it looks as if my under eye hollows are being filled with restylane :p

So it's only the 4th day post OP, the past few days my face was pretty swollen haha. Other than the swelling I'd say there is no other discomfort, the only pain I feel is on my ear (and of course whenever I accidentally nudge my nose).
I forgot to mention in my first post the other day that my nostrils (like everything else on my face) are asymmetric. Apparently my right nose is 'weaker' than my left in terms of holding up cartilage. I told the doctor I didn't care whether my nostrils end up being symmetric since they weren't to begin with but he ignored me and spent a lot of time correcting it lol. I will attach a photo of my pre op nostril and post op nostril from under view.
Remember though it's only my 4th day so my nose is still really swollen! Don't mind my puffy face please haha.

Lovely results, can't wait to see the final result once the swelling has gone down! Looking amazing though!! Also, what implant did the doctor use to increase your bridge height? :)

Hey thank you! In the end we went with 2mm, at first he offered 4 but I was afraid the change would be too drastic and everyone around me would know, so I went with a subtle 2mm I implant :)
If you do go to Indonesia make sure you go the best surgeons available here for that specific procedure, don't be set on getting it all done by one surgeon! :) my friends from Australia and Canada said their overall cost for multiple surgeries and transport+accommodation here totalled to less than what they would have paid for those surgeries in those countries!
As for chin implant I think mostly they treat it as an 'easy' procedure, basically a doctor who knows how to do rhinoplasty will know how to do a chin implant and it is especially good to do them together so the doctor can harmonize your face profile.
So yes.. for rhino and chin you should go to the same doctor. Blepharoplasty for the upper eyelids and rhinoplasty I think are the most delicate procedures.
Also the doctors here speak English very well! It is something of a prerequisite in Indonesia for newer doctors to speak English, you'd be surprised at their fluency. The staff at the hospital are also able to speak English :)
Yes I think there is quite a few that does hair transplant but I will have to get back to you about who are the better known ones.
Try not to go to 'cookie-cutter' doctors who just uses the same type of nose on all their patients. Find one that will enhance your character instead of making you into a different person!
