I will most likely be going during those times. Still trying to decide between those two doctors. If anyone is going, let me know =)

I am going to have surgery under dr. Hsu.

Arrival in Kaohsiung and consultation scheduled for 26th of December, surgery on 27th and leaving Taiwan on the 8th of January.

I am in the process of booking an apartment for 2 weeks, as I'll be accompanied by my sister and possibly my boyfriend and Blissfull, another forumer.

Here's a link to some samples....

Hey, do you know how much is the cost there compared to Taiwan/Korea?
The before-after pictures were absolutely stunning!

I think the price ranges from between $1000-$2000 USD. Definitely cheaper than taiwan and korea. The only thing is i haven't really found patient stories of their experience there. Are you thinking about going there? Please let me know if you find any more info on them.

Another place that sparked my interest was

I heard they use ear cartilage over there... I only see on rhino patient on the site, but the result does look good.

I don't see any before-after pics from the bh6750 website lei..
They're all testimonials and don't really can trust from it.. Where did you see one of the rhino pics??
I am considering dr kao in the first place but after seeing the site and the nice work from this dr Alex de leon, it wavered my decision a little!
Now waiting for dr Alex de Leon to reply my email and shall update you.
Where did you hear/find dr Alex de leon's website from can I ask?

Enquiry to those who have chin implant.

When you rest your chin on a surface, e:g; table or on your knee (while sitting) does it hurt?

For me I always find my chin feeling rather uncomfortable with pain if there is a slight pressure on it. Is this normal? Already 1 year post op.

Dr Jong from http://www.lrclinic.com.tw/

He is not bad my doubleeyelid is done by him... natural and no one knew it.. cheap too

I have never been keen on PS. If I could get tighter bums by doing more sports or get rid of a few pimples by means of the appropriate creams and food diet, I would do. But it goes without saying one cannot change her/his nose without plastic surgery.

The rest of my body is not perfect (sometimes my boyfriend jokes about my flat chest, calling it two aspirines on an ironing board), but it doesn't have to be perfect either. All in all, I am quite happy with what I have been granted by nature.

Besides, as far as I am concerned, a first botched rhino does not really encourage to get additional PS. So I stick to what I initially wanted: a slightly improved nose.

My first 6mths i do feel alot of tightness and sometimes discomfort but even being a very active person, it dosent really pose a problem. After a year it was still there. No pain however. Only now, after 1.5 years that I don't really feel the implant anymore, it seemed to have grown together with my flesh ...haha
What kind of implants did u get?

Thanks for the reply, mine is a silicone implant.
Heard that decades later, the chin implant might shift away from our bone thus leaving the implant just drooping there without any support? Hope it's not a common case where it happens to everyone. :/
I don't wish to go through any surgery to revise or remove anymore...

Hello, anyone has got their nose job done by Dr Kao recently?
Would love to hear more reviews on him because I would really like to have him for my surgery.
Thanks~

hi,,,,

i hav typed my experience with dr kao on this post recently...
i am vey pleased with the nose n chin...however... im still abit concern (by saying "concern"...is not worrying kind of concern lol...juz hesistate or tempting lol / feel like there is somethng needs to be done...dunno if i hav used the wrong word to describe my feeling...i guess somehow theres some1 that will get wat i mean by "concern") about the "lump or hump" or my nose... its juz beside the bridge...can see it when i turn to my side...only can shown from 1 side of my face...
1 reason for this: maybe the restylane he cut out still need to be absorbed by my body coz he told me there are some left)

2) still swelling

3) the bone he knocked out ....did not knocked evenly -.-

it is not noticeable by other ppl.... juz by me n my bf as i always look into the mirror n take pics eveyday to record n i will ask my bf about it as well

not sure i will go back for revision or not... waiting for the "final result" and need to send email to dr kao 1st

he did a good job on me though...
its juz luck on surgery...
i can say im the lucky 1 ~
maybe we juz want to hav a "perfect" nose...
i'll see how... as im not really annoyed or bothered by it..but juz an idea .... maybe can ask him to make my nose a little bit more higher ...lol

Hi! Tinanana

How much did Doctor Kao charge you for the nose services?
Did you stay at the Kang Ning Service Apartment?
