Hello! I have been thinking about this for 11 years and I'm finally getting a rhinoplasty! I'm excited yet nervous. I've never had surgery before. After many hours of research I've decided to go with Dr. Eric Yapjuangco in the Philippines! He is amazing at what he does. Check him out on IG
Because I'm already making the effort to travel internationally, I figured that I should also do a BBL because I have been thinking about that as well too although it is not as important as my rhino. The total cost of this is going to be about $10k which includes my flight and stay. I need to fly business because I am not going to be able to sit on my butt very long on the way back.

Hi! Sorry, I know it's been forever since you posted this but i hope you don't mind me asking a question. My friend and I are planning to go there in May or June. We already contacted The Icon Clinic on messenger and WhatsApp but they have not replied to the question we asked before we decide what month&day to go, so I thought I'd ask somebody who've been there, I'm desperate for the answer haha. Anyway, when you reserve your appointment date, How much do you have to pay? Percentage? Slot reservation fee? I'm praying that you or somebody out there reads and answers this comment slash enquiry hahaha. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I decided to upload some of my favorite examples of his work and one goal picture. I feel like I have a similar situation to the male example.

One thing that I have been reading on other reviews is the horrible response time and robotic replies! I am quite irritated with this as well. I've already paid my deposit and I don't think it's outlandish to expect more responsive communication. Another concern I am having is that most of Dr. Yapjuangco's patients have flat noses and I have a bigger more European nose that I inherited from my English great grandmother. Everyone in my family has it! Lol. I will post pictures when I go in for my consultation.

I was really concerned about only getting prescribed ibuprofen. I watched a video on youtube created by a patient of Dr yap and he showed that all he was prescribed was ibuprofen! I brought up my concern with him and said he could prescribe me something "stronger" but did not specify what that meant. My dentist gives me vicodin because I'm such a wuss when it comes to pain! lol Also I sent in my deposit and I didn't hear back from them at all. Has anyone else had this problem with them?

My surgery is May 9 :) it's taken me DAYS to get a confirmation of my deposit and I still don't have it. It's very frustrating! I just keep asking until they reply, haha. It usually works lol.

I also ask him specific questions, but I think it's because he can't see anything in depth and in person he doesn't answer them. Still frustrating though lol

I'm on may 19! I've been bugging them and they almost seem like I'm inconveniencing them! Lol. I've already paid for my deposit and Airbnb so I'm really nervous! He needs new adminstrative staff!

Just repost your reply every 48 hours until they respond. He's pretty good with getting back with me that way.

He replied and he is really funny! The humor helps ease me worries. The clinic finally sent me an email confirming receipt of my deposit.

Hi lady! This is so exciting - congrats on your journey! I don't mean to be a downer but are you concerned about response time after surgery in case you have questions or concerns? I had to reach out many many many times to my surgeon and his team after surgery and their quick response time really put me at ease. Just want you to think about everything beforehand!

I never thought about that! Gee thanks lol. But seriously, I've read other reviews and he seems fine after surgery just not before. Lol
March 22, 2017
