28 yrs old/Filipino nose; small bridge wide alars

Definitely giving Dr. Lee 5 stars for an amazing job on my plastic surgery for making it look natural and still me. I got Rhinoplasty (BANOBAGI consultant informed me that they do not offer other implants for nose except for silicon for bridge, and Dr. Lee used my ear cartilage for my nose tip) + alar reduction just September 2018. It’s been almost about 2 months and 3 weeks now post op and it amazes me how different my nose looks every week as the swelling subside . The swelling is almost gone but I can tell that my nose tip is still healing and my nose is not numb anymore that I can make any facial expressions just fine. The consultation with Dr. Lee was pretty fast but very detailed and super informative. I felt startstruck meeting him because I’ve only been searching about him and his work almost the whole summer now and I just felt comfortable trusting him doing what he does best. Banobagi is known for natural looking plastic surgery but a little on the pricey side. What made me decide to go get my nose done by them was the promotion that they offer on their website and they happen to be giving a promo for Rhinoplasty on July for 30% off. Without that discount I don’t think I would be able to afford them but they really were my first choice from the very beginning of my research. Anyway, My friends can’t really pinpoint what’s different about me when they see me except that I look different but in a good way. Hahaa so it’s a pretty subtle change but a very big deal to me because my original nose bridge was flat and nostrils are big. Overall, I recommend going to Dr. Lee in Banobagi for Rhinoplasty hands down!!

I’m feeling great. My nose is looking more natural and it’s settling down nicely on my face as time goes by and it’s only my 3rd month. I’m not feeling any discomfort or pain on my nose or anything at all. I’m able to flare my nostrils now and my nose doesn't feel as stiff anymore which is good, I know it’s never going to be soft like how it was before since there’s silicon, but atleast it’s not super stiff hahaa. I feel a lot more comfortable going out without make up for sure.

I am almost on my 1 year post op so I think this will be my last update, and I am so happy to announce that I am above and beyond still loving how my nose looks like. I'm fully healed already, not feeling any numbness in or around my nose where they cut open. I still get compliments on how blooming I look or skinnier from people that I have known before but doesn't know I had it done, I'm pretty sure the contour of my new nose makes my face look a lot slimmer since I had an almost flat bridge before. I know most people would like to keep their 'enhancements' a secret but I'm so happy with my results that I honestly don't mind telling my friends I got rhinoplasty either because I like to promote self love, not that I didn't love myself before, but I really do feel a lot happier and more confident now and I believe people should do/get/fix/enhance whatever they like to make themselves happy. Here are some photos from last weekend. I hope that my review and journey to recovery helped someone decide on whatever it is they are trying to achieve just how people's review on this website helped me with mine. Thank you!
