At Last! Ready for an Ethnic Rhinoplasty with Dr. Eric Yapjuangco, Icon Clinic, Philippines

I've just started looking at this clinic for a rhinoplasty as well. I haven't had a consultation yet, but I'd love to buddy up with you. I was recently told that the clinic was closed due to an investigation of a death. I'm not sure if it's reopened. The death was related to multiple surgeries at once. Being a nurse, however, I can understand how this could occur. Fat embolisms are no joke. When people break their hips and have the repaired, it's one of the most serious risks. So imagine injecting fat back into the body, some of that fat many enter into the bloodstream and that, sadly, is one of he risks of BBLs. Oh well, let me know. If they don't cancel your procedure, they're back in business and I want in.

Wait I think I miss read your feed. If you're going to Belgium, I need the website so I can enquirer.

Hey, I have had my rhinoplasty done with Dr Yap, and a close friend of mine went to Dr. Oelbrandt.. Both with ethnic noses/ thick skin etc and honestly for me personally I am so unhappy with my nose and the lack of patient records. The amount of patients taken on is quite ridiculous and gives greater room for careless mistakes, I am currently waiting for my one year mark to get revision. I have an extremely uneven collumella from awful stitching and many of his patients will tell you the same, request images from below the nose angles and just a real bulky bulbous nose (more so then before). He has no files or reports so he nor I have no clue what he did to my face. My friend (also ethnic nose) who got her surgery done with Dr Oelbrandt and was really unhappy he gave her these random prominent dorsal lines and a 'pinched' look she got revision at the same clinic with Dr Noorman Van Der Dussen and is extremely happy and can not praise him enough for his professionalism! It may be worth contacting him as he is a lot closer and I just do not recommend flying to a surgeon who puts money above patient satisfaction. I dont believe he has a lot of reviews online as he makes patients sign a non disclosure form but I went with my friend for her revision and now I am also considering him :) My advice would be to ask for before/after pics with no filters make up and flattering angles post op if you choose to go ahead with Yappy. Images of collumella/ alar post op to see stitching and scarring.. Good luck girl, wish you all the best x

Who was the Turkish doctor your friend went to?

That sucks hun. Dr Yapjuangco is apparently fast on responding at first but really dodgy after you've booked your surgery or when he's secured the bag, atleast that's what I've read from the reviews online. He was my first choice too after seeing his work but the after-care reviews got me a bit hesitant because I'm all about doctors who are genuine to help you and not just about the money. Finding good cosmetic doctors in the Philippines is hard but if you dig deeper there are cosmetic forums online but they're in tagalog so I understand why it's a bit hard for other people. Do you have any other choice of doctor except him? Where did you find Dr Gannaban? I'm planning for a rhinoplasty too so I'm doing a lot of research on the internet .. Dr Alex Deleon from La Nouvelle Image is my choice for now.. He doesnt have a lot of reviews online but I found one from this girl and it looks amazing and convincing

Hello! I will have my surgery with Dr yappy in April.

Hi millylondon.. I'm sorry you had a slow response from your first option. If you still not sure about the two doctors and you want to consider other doctors please check Dr. Levi Lansangan at Dr. Shimmian clinic in ortigas Philippines . He is very quick in responding to inquiries and he is amazing and have great skills that deliver the great result when it comes to rhinoplasty. I did my research for long time and when i found Dr Levi Lansangan i did not regret with my decision to have rhinosplasty with. Besides he is a pioneer in goretex rhinoplasty. You can check his website and read his profile.. thank you and all the best for your beauty journey.
