I am leaning towards finally taking the leap and get a nose job. I started to realize how undefined, flat and big my nose was a few years ago. Every since then I've been researching affordable surgeons from over the world and I now believe that I have found one.

I am interested in going to Thailand to have this procedure, because I've found a website and I really love the work that are offered, not to mention the prices which are really good.
I really how I can find a travel buddy to take the trip with me. I have not consulted them yet but I'll be doing that soon. If anyone is interested in joining this journey with me contact me and I'll send you a link to the website so you can check it out. I also think I might get lip reduction and reshaping there as well. It cost roughly 200 usd so I would throw that I. There too l.

I'm not sure who you are looking for in Thailand, or their skill level...but when it comes to your face, that is one thing I wouldn't never try to save money on. Especially your nose, as it is the most noticeable part of ones face. I imagine ethnic rhinoplasty is more difficult due to the thick skin, and so that it doesn't come out looking like a white nose. I've been to Thailand and most of it was really third world in terms of their doctors. Beautiful place, but I'd rather spend more and get my nose done by one of the highly rated popular doctors on RealSelf.

Most of the surgeons I see give that Michael Jackson look and I can't spend 7000 to get that!!
However if I find a surgeon that has impressive results then I'll def invest in myself. So if you know some good surgeons I could check out, please let me know.

I want to see Dr. Rizk - New York. Will cost £8/9k which I dnt know how ill afford along with travel and hospital costs but I'd have no worries if I went to him as his work is AMAZING!!! would love a travel buddy to go and see him!!

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! Make sure you do tons of research and look for a board certified plastic surgeon who has done lots and lots of work on noses of your ethnicity.

Although it's your choice I agree. Your nose looks lovely and suits you!!! xx

Who knows they problably have great surgeons but your going to need to follow up with your primary doctor as they will know your nose the best come post opp when your dealing with swelling and scar tissue u will have to fly back and forward there just for a follow up. Just that alone u are better of in the states and some of these doctors do have reasonable prices

Ok so I've been researching Dr in the phillipines because I notice that their noses seem similar to that of a person of African descent like myself. On my quest I have found a great Dr at the Icon clinic in Manila and I am 200% sold on him, his pictures are amazing and display results that are natural looking yet dramatic.

I am looking into doing this surgery in April and I am hoping to find a surgery buddy or two to take on this amazing adventure, so if you are planning on having surgery with Dr Yappy in the Phillipines, please let me know.

I will be updating as I go along.

Wow, keep us posted. Personal experiences and all. It seems like most girls only have great reviews, with one anesthesiology mishap that I read on here and one girl whose nose really wasn't any different from before. Updating us on your friends results will be greatly appreciated.

please do extra research and good luck with what ever you choose xx there are forums check out pinoy exchange alot of it is in Tagalog but you can use Google translate if you search yapjuangco on the pinoy exchange there are alot of bad reviews towards him.
