Perfect Nose for Under $2,800.00

First, I am Black and I had the worst possible...

WORTH IT$2,600
First, I am Black and I had the worst possible nose for rhinoplasty- Oily, thick skin with a bulbous tip. Second, I was broke! I mean , I had under $10,00.00 to my name. Yet, was able to get the perfect nose for under $2,800.00. How? My IQ was measured at 135 when I was in grade 8. I am clever. So what did I do? I researched, researched , researched. Here were the results:
1. The USA has a broken healthcare system . The cost of a nose job in the USA is 10-20 times higher than in Asia.
2. The USA has mostly White doctors who were trained by other White doctors who mostly treat White patients. They don't understand Black noses even when they advertise Ethnic rhinoplasty! This means a White doctor will try to put what he thinks is a good Black nose on a Black patient. If you tell him that you want a "White nose" he won't get it.
My conclusion after a year of research was to go to Asia. But Where? I didn't speak the language! I had never been outside the USA before. So I went to Thailand. Nose jobs were cheap and I was so happy. But I was doomed because when I went to the consultations , I was rejected or was given a much higher price than advertised. The doctors in Thailand were used to treating Thai noses. When they saw my difficult Black nose , they new it would be too much work. So I researched more and discovered India. Most people dont know that India has Black skinned people that are far darker than any African Americans I had ever encountered. I saw Dr. Vivek Kumar and I showed him a picture of Johnny Depp and said I wanted a nose like this. He said, " I'll give you a better nose than that"! But , he was board certified and refused to use any silicone implants. He only wanted to use my bodies own tissue for the surgery- this is considered the gold standard for the top rhinoplasty surgeons. I agreed. The surgery was painless as I was put to sleep. The cost was only $2000.00 US dollars. The results were great. The third picture was the final result. For the first time in my life, my nose had definition and was not very bulbous .I got compliments on my nose, but there were limitations to using your bodies own tissues. I wanted a straighter profile and sharper tip. Only silicone implants can do this!!!!!! I repeat , only silicone implants can give you a perfectly straight profile , forward projection and a sharp tip. My doctor in India did not understand that beauty , to me, was the fake Hollywood look that he hated!!!!! So, after my surgery in India , two years later, I went back to Thailand . Thailand is home to the silicone implant masters . That's right . That is what they do all day long, shove implants in people's noses and get paid in under 30 minutes. They reject me before because my nose was too Black. No I returned for my revenge. I found a great doctor in Pattaya, Thailand at We Care Clinic on Pattaya Klong road. She was sexy, her staff was sexy, and she was actually a doctor who trains other doctors to insert silicone implants. I was asking her about her credentials because I was slightly nervous about going to a clinic instead of a major hospital like I had done in India. She told me she was an expert, could perform the operation in under 20 minutes, that the recovery was about a week, stitches come out on two weeks, she never had a patient get infected from her implants, and that her record was 35 implants completed in a single day! I was blown away. Oh, and the cost... you won't believe this.....only 600 US dollars. I repeat , only 600 US dollars. I repeat, only 600 US dollars. This cost included the surgery, the antibiotics, cleaning by her sexy nurses every three days, and stitches removal . I repeat only 600 US dollars. When one gets service like this, you wonder , what the hell is gone wrong with the USA? I read some of these blogs and people pay 7,000- 25,000 dollars in the USA to be treated by ugly White doctors and incompetent nurses. I got the royal treatment for 600 US dollars. My advice to all Black people is this. Go to India and get a rhinoplasty using your own body tissue. Then top it off with a silicone implant from Pattaya, Thailand . People think I'm Johnny Depp now. Remember this when coming to Thailand. Don't get your implant done in Bangkok. Bangkok will charge you the maximum price because that is where all the Americans go. My final results are on the last 2 pictures. Actually, not quite final because my stitches from my implant come out in 8 days and my nose is still slightly swollen, however, my friends agree that my nose tip is sharp, my profile is perfect, and that I look like a Hollywood movie star.

I love your review!!! Your nose looks great too! I'm planning to have a Rhinoplasty abroad myself. And yes, there are superb surgeons who give more natural looking results in other countries particularly Asia as it relates to black noses. I don't like the way American surgeons perform ethnic rhinoplasty...most of the results seem very unrealistic and definitely not worth thousands of dollars.

Thanks! If you are going to the Philippeans then you are making the right move. Make sure your surgeon uses a soft silicone implant. Hard implants are obsolete. I can tell you are going to look like a movie star when finished. We may just have to make a movie together. We'll call it , "Nose Lust" . Rated R

Lolll! Sounds like a good movie! I think dr Yapjuangco's technique involves using the Gortex implant and also ear cartilage. And yes I really do hope that he gives me a movie star nose as well!

I had actually considered Dr. Yap until I heard ISIS was active in the Philippeans. I didn't want to get kid napped and my head chopped off ! I'm sure you'll be fine though . Gortex is better than hard silicone. It absorbs your bodies own tissue. Can't wait to see your results. Be safe!

I added these two photos that really show the sharp tip. The dark circles under my eyes will disappear soon. The implant used was soft silicone.
