Is aquamid recommended for the nose? I suppose it just augments the nose bridge, similar to an injection I had, thou the material they used in my case was semi-permanent (some sugar compound) that dissolves into the body in 6 months. The PS said my results were "excellent, very beautiful" thou I think its way too subtle, and does nothing for the size of the nose.

Thats why i am considering a proper rhinoplasty now. Hoping for more people to share their rhinoplasty experiences, good or bad.

Hi Kook,

Frm ur previous posting, i think u went to Dr Wu for the nose job ya? Cos the "Excellent, very beautiful" sounds so familiar.

I had an eyebag removing 2 wks back & when i went bak to him for follow-up consultation, that's wat he says also.. "Excellent, beautiful", hahaha...

Anyway, thgh the results are pretty ok, but his pricings r really on the high-end.. Just wondering how do u find him??

Hey Worried, yes, was done by him. hah, so seems like that is a standard term he uses.

And yes, he is expensive. This cost me $2200, and lasts for 6 months. Dont think its something I want to do every half year.
Hence considering a rhinoplasty or just not bother.
Anyone has pricing indication for a rhinoplasty by someone sufficiently experienced? Eg. Dr Martin Huang?
Think my main problem if i decide to go ahead would be telling my hubby cos i know he wld make a big fuss about how i dont need it, blah blah...

Ya KooK, sometimes they just dun understand why we need it & well, it really makes us feel gd & more confident!

Anyway, go for it if u think it'll make u feel better. Only thing is to get the Right surgeon

Sorry, cant help u in feedback for other surgeons (cos apparently i only consulted Dr Wu) but still wish u all the best

sorry for posting more than once! but i hope someone can answer my questions! for a nose reduction, is it possible to NOT add any implants but just reduce the size of the nose and keep the shape of it? yes my idea is to have a smaller size of the same shape of nose! i've seen cases online of nose bridges collapsing and its horrid! so my next question, is it possible to ask the doctor to NOT touch my nose bones either? all i want the doctor to do is to take out the extra "fats" lol pls reply me!!

Gummy · Post by **Gummy** » Mon, 11 Jul 2005 5:16 am

Hi...anyone ever heard of any kind of lip surgery here in Sg? I need to correct my smile...because I've got a gummy smile.

I researched but apparently my prob doesnt come under orthodentistry, where they do stuff to your teeth or ur gums to reduce the gummy smile. My teeth are fine the way they are.

What I'm looking for is to bring my upper lip down so it covers my gums more... So when I smile, the upper lip is just above my upper teeth. Like a slice of orange...that kind of semicircle shape.

Bcos currently when i smile, the upper lip becomes an arc...

I want it a straight horizontal line across my face. Is there a way to maybe get the inside of the upper lip sewn down to the gums?

hi there!

nose reduction or rather alarplasty or also called alar reduction is a process where the side of the nose trills are narrowed. the base of the nostrils is cut and sewn inwards. so i believed your nose bones, etc can be left untouched. no need for any implants.

this is a totally different operation from rhinoplasty, which i'd gone through last mth. i actually suggested alar, but the doctor feels there's no need to if i am seeking a 'natural look'. he's right in the end!

so it'll be great if can consult an experienced ps. one look and he'll be able to tell what is right for you!

but 3 years is still a long way but good you start researching now. maybe they'll come up with better technology in terms of nose surgery during then!

all the best!

hi kook!

go to page 26 of this forum if you wana read mine for reference.

you may need to get pass thru your hubby. so i suppose it'll be tougher getting him to be your companion, let alone going overseas for the ops. support is important. get friends who are on your side as companionship.

prepare lots and lots of cotton buds - you will definitely need em.

if you are bespectacled and cant do without glasses, remember to bring along your contact lens. no glasses after rhinoplasty for 3 weeks (on the safe side!). your new implant may be shifted away from the mid line due to wearing it.

post ops - you feel someone had just did an upper punch from below your nose. ice pack required. dont let too much water hit onto your bandaged/ plastered nose while washing your face.

be prepared to stay indoors on the 2nd day. you will look like pokemon, with swollen eyes. swellings starts from below eyes to eyebrows. lasts for less than 25 hrs. feverish feeling. still ice pack.

day 3 - subsided fever. ice pack.

day 4 - you will peel off the 'plasters' cos they starts to itch or had partially fallen off.

day 5, 6, 7 - ok. still careful with your new 'bridge', all funny feelings like fever or etc gone.

you will notice:
all are pains bearable.
you'll eat smaller mouthful of food than before.
you will not risk doing excessive facial expressions.

hope you'll get your dreams come true.

best of all things!
