It has a horrible reputation of an alarming rate, of 'doctors not here anymore', 'corrective surgery' & 'no response to post-op patient's questions'.
The hospital has been mentioned a couple of times in the thread, which the price offered by them is attractive - but may very well leave you with a bargain-basement face.
Dear Min U,
I'm surprised you'd asked so many questions here in sentence form; haha, maybe points-form is clearer. Anyway, my answers are as follows.
1. For everyone, to make trips overseas esp. involving medical treatment, require a very careful planning; please feel free to ask questions. But, maybe on email (as intended, more information with chin implants etc.)
2. Some folks like booo (in earlier threads) seeking
onlyRhinoplasty, they may like to know that they can be handled by some other physicians other than a plastic surgeon - Otorhinolaryngologist.
In some cases, if the nose job is more complex; the responsible plastic surgeon will often refer the patient to them. (
also known as ENT specialist)
However this is not going to happen in Thailand. Why not see the otorhinolaryngologist straight?
3.
Chin implants
The surgery is about 90minutes; the chin implant is made of silastic rubber, the incision is made inside my mouth (the area btw. gums and chin region), implants is inserted thru this incision - to the chin.
The incision is closed with
dissolving stitches.
A tape is placed over the chin & under the haw to support the implant for 5-7 days.
Post-Ops, i've some swelling and bruising; the bruises dissappear in the 2nd week (for me) & the swelling last for
about 3 weeks for me.
(It is reported that swelling can last up to 3 months)
After the surgery, my chin/ jawline felt
very sore & tender for about 3 days, and currently i've a a very mild numbness in the chin (3rd month).
The numbness is reported to last up to 9 months.
I didn't had complications, but the possible complications 're as follows;
*Internal bleeding indication:: Uneven swelling.
*Nerves damage indication:: Lost of sensation.
*Implants slipping indication:: Uneven swelling.
Complications for chin implant is quite rare, but however for chin implants; they may moved alittle bit with time, living habit (like sleeping 1 sided on pillow etc); most of the time, our naked eye won't be able to identify such movements.
But if the movement is obvious, it will require a surgical repositioning.
4. I'd done a writeup on the procedure above, as i also hope to demystifies some people's thought of cosmetic surgery; i've emails from people, who asked me if they can go for beach games at Pattaya; after a Liposuction treatment, which is a day before! .::.
5. Nice to know, Liposuction in the lower limb; buttock, thighs etc. you should not attempt light exercises for the 1st 2 months - post ops.
6. To Guest / Min U, there're many types of Rhinoplasty; please email me for more information for this.
Sincerest regards,
