How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Before and After
When the cast was removed it was very swollen at the beginning and it looked like I had an upturned nose (piggy nose). I am loving the results now as days go by. I think the change is minimal, and it is exactly what I wanted. MAKE SURE you and your doctor are on the same page on what you want done.
Update. 3 weeks post op
It has been 3 weeks since my surgery, and so far I like the results. Like I've said, my original nose wasn't too bad so there's minimal change as far as I can tell. Work done was tiplasty, alarplasty and the bridge was raised a bit with the insertion of goretex implant. Dr. Eric Yapjuangco is a skilled surgeon, that is for sure.
There are a lot factors for your rhinoplasty to be succesful. I had realistic expectations before all this started so it gives little room for disappointment. Second, you have to give your body time to heal (swelling etc.). Post op care is also very important. After my surgery I was very concerned about infection and how my body would react to the goretex implant. I religiously cleaned the stitches around the nose, strictly followed all post op instructions and made sure I was in top shape and perfect health to allow my body to heal nicely.
SURGERY - I stayed in Manila for 3 weeks and had to fly out of the country afterwards. I was the last patient that day, I think there were 3 or 4 people before me -I'm not too sure. After the surgery when I woke up, I did not feel nauseatious nor did i feel cold. I was just sleepy that's all. I stayed at the hospital for 2 nights, I think this is a better deal than staying at a hotel. I've only seen Dr. Eric 3 times, the day before my surgery, on surgery day and after surgery (follow up/stitch removal). He has a lot of patients, and consultations are a bit rushed. Be prepared to wait for hours.
Now, I know some of Dr. Eric's patients are unhappy with their results...and the reason for why their rhinoplasties failed I do not know. I am not defending him or anything, I am just speaking from my own experience and so far I am happy with how everything turned out. But I have to admit I hated what my nose looked like when the cast came off. I just gave it time for the swelling to subside.
For anyone who wishes to undergo rhinoplasty, please do your research first. If it's something you really want to do then go for it. But know the risks involved. As for me I took a chance, had faith in my doctor and I turned out well. I cannot say everyone's outcome will be the same.
Hope this helps.

I changed my mind.
I have given up on this. It is so hard to get a hold of them. I've sent emails to confirm my appointment and no one ever answers back. I tried their phone numbers, Viber and Facebook account and still no response. No patient or potential client should ever feel ignored by any clinic. I am feeling more like a pest if I persist in reaching out to them. So yeah, I am done chasing after this. As of now I am requesting for a refund on my deposit and looking at other another doctor instead.
Provider Review
I only communicated with Dr. Yappy through email and he seems professional and will reply to emails right away. Only complaint i have right now is the communication with the office about the appointment scheduling. I made a deposit to secure a spot for a surgery date but I haven't received any confirmation yet if they did receive it. I was told my surgery date is Dec. 12 and to keep in touch and that's it. I will phone them again to confirm my schedule probably a month before surgery just to be on the safe side.
