personally i see both the nose done by jung and hsu, each of the nose has it good and bad points, i dun think jung's nose job is not natural or something but some may find it not nice. i find it ok. however i am shock the goretex implant shifted which is not common as goretex has good grip unlike silicone. hence comparing rib with goretex is not fair as rib is the best implant for nose job as mentioned bt many nose specialistrhinose wrote:Hi everyone, after reading quite abit i gather that the best result risk aside seems to be the use of rib cartilage.
I for one have narrowed my choice to that but t seems the Drs recommend gortex when i showed my picture.
The use of rib cartilage is a more difficult approach and i reckon only a few names come to mind namely Dr Jung, Dr Hsu, Dr Torumi.
For now i am planning to head to korea to do under Dr Jung.
After reading DMN's experience, i am torn between Dr Jung and Dr Hsu.
I have no idea which to go.
I also noticed the scar that will be involved via this route.
This let me to think to go to a donor's cartilage but afraid of the risk.
Does anyone know the cost as well Under Dr Jung and Hsu?
thank you.
i know this dr toriumi patient looks really good after, but considering there's a factor that she has a high forehead pre-op that's what made her high nose fit in naturally. If it's on a flatter face chinese or korean like most of them it won't look as good, that's why i was asking about forehead before but seems like noone here has done ittanjhj wrote:personally i see both the nose done by jung and hsu, each of the nose has it good and bad points, i dun think jung's nose job is not natural or something but some may find it not nice. i find it ok. however i am shock the goretex implant shifted which is not common as goretex has good grip unlike silicone. hence comparing rib with goretex is not fair as rib is the best implant for nose job as mentioned bt many nose specialistrhinose wrote:Hi everyone, after reading quite abit i gather that the best result risk aside seems to be the use of rib cartilage.

i would like to ask if dmn got knocked or something? why it can deviated so much post op? hope u dun misunderstand, i am not against anyone but just wanted to learn more
however if u dun mind the pain of the ribs and scar.. u can consider rib for nose if it is what u want
before we go gaga over hsu's nose job via rib. i would like to show u the master of master in nose job.. one of the top 3 nose specialist in the world.
if budget is not a concern, u should see a earlier thread of dr toriumi did to a vietnamese gal for her nose. totally awesome piece of work.. dun think dr hsu jung or gao can hit that level of skill..this gal did a rib nose job. yeah silicone and goretex cant hit this std of perfection.. furthermore it is a revision job!
Price 10-15k usd

This patient underwent previous surgery in the orient and had erosion of a silastic implant through the skin of the nasal tip. This left a depressed scar over the nasal tip and tremendous scar tissue. The patient underwent a secondary rhinoplasty with placement of a costal cartilage rib graft to her bridge and tip. She also had a costal cartilage strut to support her tip. The photographs represent a one year postoperative result.
well this is why i say luck is very impt when doing PS. consider pray pray before go for PS..feline.eyes wrote:http://www.nosejobgonebad.com/
Dr Gunter is considered to be one of the top five rhinoplasty surgeons in the world.
Scary how things can go terribly bad huh?
oic no wonder coz dr jung wouldnt make such a loust nose job loh.. Yupz i have the same problems too.. which means if i can do a normal nose job, soon my nose will deviate like DMN as the foundation is not straght hence either have to do rib or go for a nose restructuring operation which cost abt 5k sgd... sad. i cant just go for a simple goretex implant...feline.eyes wrote:If you have been on this forum for quite a while, I think you should remember that her nose is inherently crooked.

if he can really do that than i can say at 5kusd will be a steal coz dr toriumi cost easily 15-20k for rib surgery complex..rhinose wrote:Hi Tahj.... thank you for responding.
I agree with you the photo you showed is a masterpiece.
I for one cant tell if its operated if i were to see this patient.
Imho till date i have yet to see such an amazing result.
Its a total transformation and yes i look at the tip as well which is to me the most impt feature of the nose.
I showed Prof Jung the picture and he told me he can achieve that.
He did mention also that the use of gortex on me will be sifficent because i only required a few mm and that my nose is not that flat.
I told him my concern about gortex and how it shrinks over time. He assured me that the method he used to apply the gortex is compressed and will have minimal/negligible changes over time.
For the tip he will use My ear cartilage.
When i expressed my concern of gortex again and my reluctance to use any foreign material, he explained that he still believe the best material is rib cartilage.
He will be able to just use rib cartilage for the entire restructuring of my nose.
He said the only drawback of it is the cost and the scar which he says on 90% of paiteint should vanish
He said the operation will be 4hrs vs 1.5hrs if i use gortex.
This means a cost about 8000USD vs 5000USD.
The results he told me again will be almost the same and the choice is mine to make.
So there it is i am faced with a dilemma here. My mind says since both give similar results i should save 3000USD! and go with the gortex.
However, my heart says gortex is a foreign material and it gives me an insecure feeling as would something more natural like rib cartilage.
(I would touch my nose knowing its not part of me and some foreign object)
PS: Tahj, would you mean telling me which doc u used and what procedure.? And if Dr jung is a good canidate for my operation. i would say my nose is somewhat similar to the viet gal above and the results i am looking for is not far off either:)
Thank you
