Plastic and cosmetic surgery abroad

hi eustacia..
your is not a permanet eyelid operation i suppose...does dr kk lim do permanent double eyelid?

how much is the cost and lastly is he skilled in doing that?

[Lass]

Hi I just consulted Dr KK Lim last sat.

He's charging me $1500 for my double eyelid op (the incisional, permanent method which can remove fats). Nose implant would be $1,500 too.

Dr Lim said he's been in this field for more than 30 years. And I've seen his before-and-after pics of past patients (eye area only). I think he does an equally good job, even though he's not operating in a hospital. I think quite a number of ppl also go to him for eyelid jobs, at least based on the photos and what he told me.

I've been mulling over my decision. And i think i might wanna do my surgery with Dr Lim due to cost considerations. Dr F would cost me around $500 more in total (after GST, consultation &/or medicine). But of course, if I'm not the kind where $500 makes any difference to me, i'd go with Dr F.

Hope i won't be making the wrong decision!

Eustacia: The cost for your surgery (both eye & nose)seems cheaper than what he quoted me! Don't know why...

Thanks for posting your pics! Your eyelid is very nice now! Very natural. Happy for you!

Hi ahmeilover,

Thanks for your post! Actually if my schedule allows, I'd definitely fly over to Bangkok to do my eyelid surgery with Dr Sukhit. But because of my timetable constraint, I've decided to do it in Singapore.

Perhaps 1 or 2 years later, i will consider going to see Dr Sukhit for rhino when my eyelids has more or less settled down.

thanks for sharing though

Cheers.

dr kk lim consultation is free?? so gd ar.... care to share wif me his contact as i wan to consult the doc abt nose surgery thanks

[black_creamer]

iamdanny, u were asking abt the nose filler (injection rhinoplasty) earlier?

I did mine sometime mid-2005 - honestly, i think its not worth the money.
Don't think many places offer that in Spore - i did mine with Dr Wu, there is no downtime (just a couple of injections - u can do on the spot after consultation) - minor bleeding from a couple of needle pricks, nothing else. You can go back to work straight after the procedure.

But --- don't expect to see much effect; also its not permanent - some protein compound that gets absorbed into the body within a couple of months. Its not cheap for something so temporary, and not at all obvious (went home that day, and my hubby didn't notice anything different) - I paid about $2500 for mine.

Hi Eustacia,

Would you be able to post Dr KK Lim's contact details here? After looking at your fantastic pic, I think I may consider having my double eyelid surgery here in Singapore after all.

Was only considering doing it in Korea previously. Seen before and after pics of procedures done in Taiwan and Singapore and most looked pretty unnatural because the lids were too thick and set too deep.

Thanks !!

Hi there,

someone asked me these questions bout the surgery so thought I'd share.
Dr. Jung has a fixed pricing system so its US$4000 for primary and think its US$5500? for revision. If u use ur own rib cartilage the cost goes up to US$5500 for primary. Since I only wanted to do alar reduction, I asked if he can give a discount so he did it for me for US$2000. He told me if I ever wanted augmentation or anything else done whether its 3mths or 3 yrs later he will only charge me US$2000. So 2 days later when I decided to lenghten and add implant he charged me the diff of $2000. Total cost =US$4000.

I stayed at Excellentvill....the same service apt that Rabbit stayed at. I was there for 8 days. If u have surgery with Dr. Jung I recommend staying there cuz its cheap and very easy to use subway to get to his clinic. Its a direct line, only bout 4 or 5 stops and very convenient. The accomodations are basic but quite comfortable and I like that u have ur own mini kitchen for cooking. For 8 nites I paid US$300.

Black Creamer: I tried to pm u but it didn't work! But after my first op which was alar reduction alone, the shape of my nose did change alot. It was much more narrow and pointy and my nostrils turned up a bit more. I was shocked by how much more narrow it was. But funnily enough after the 2nd op with lenghthing and augmentation, now it looks wider a bit? The shape of my nose definitely did change alot after but it looks very natural. My main issue is not the shape of my nose but that my bridge is high. I must be the only asian person in the world who doesn't like high bridges....I liked my flat nose before. But after alar my nostrils pointed up so much. So no choice but to augment and make them smaller. As for the pain and healing of my alar scars....its not too bad. Now 9 days post op there are faint red lines running along the side of my nose. To me its obvious but when I ask others they don't even notice a thing until I ask them to look very closely. I bought this cream called Mederma that fades scars. After day 14 I think it will be healed enough to start using it. As for pain, sometimes when I forget I had surgery and laugh or make facial expressions I will feel a twinge of pain in the incision area. But its very minor so don't need to worry. Just try not to make too many funny faces when its healing I guess

Chiquita: Dr. Jung's nurses don't speak much English....I had to do alot of miming and actions to make them understand me. And even then it didn't help much. His email should work, that's how I made all the arrangements and stuff. And if u choose to go to him, he even arranges for ur airport pickup so u don't have to worry bout how to get to his clinic.

Leenaaa: How is ur new look settling in? Somedays I really super regret my surgery but other times I think it looks quite nice. I guess I just need to let my new look sink in. I used to think that plastic surgery is minor, like a walk in the park. After watching so many shows like Dr. 90210, THe Swan, etc that makes it look so easy, I had a warped idea of what its really like. The consequences are very real, and I don't think I'll be messing with my face anymore. Just hope to heal up well and I won't ask for anything else!
