Thanks for the update. today i went to take a peep at my nose height by taking out the splint for awhile.. hmm.. frankly, i really don know how will be the hight look like.. cos i find it too low!! :o but Dr Jung insisted is high for me!? and he said that're lotsa singaporean and m'sian came to him requested slightly lower and natural bridge, and i am the only one request for higher! but to each it own!! i want high!!! i like the SOng hye kyo nose!! why don he do it for me!?!?!?!? why!!?!?!? why!?!?!??! :???:
*fainted* btw, u must be tall? that is why he suggested Song's nose for u?? he said that nose really too high for me! but i want i want i want!!!!!
*throw tantrum*

i really like those noses he done for all his korean patients, high nice and natural.. but den again, it still too early to say as it only my 4th days.. but now i already find it too low, after subside wouldnt be even lower??? *fainted another time* :o silicone might have lotsa prob in future, but i must say it shape is nicer den goretex, cos i find my bridge is abit too thick den before.. or it the swelling again?? gosh.. i missed my old nose now.. :-|
Or mabe i expect too much?? really quite disappointed at the moment..

Why do u need to shaper ur tip? u oso find the tip too round?

Awww. dun wori, another possibilities is like in appletree's case. the doc may not find high bridge suitable for you. but then the key issue is revision how? pay or no need to pay if needed? next issue is most of the time if the nose is not high enough, a sharp tip may not look compatible thus u may need to think twice liao. scar-ly he do totally what u want but dun look natural how?

But than i does agree with u that u are the client so u can really decide what u want. what i am confuse is that how come u proceed to do it when he didnt agree to do a high nose for you?
vent ur frustration :twisted: ok but care of ur nose hor. :cool: go for a smoke to destress? Sorri i misread ur intention. thought u wanna know why dr jung gave u this nose. Paiseh. didnt realise u are just venting out till now. my bad..

Dr Jung is in my number 1 list all along and yeah i read that he is good in guy's nose. he like to do high nose for patient if possible and i have seen pics of those wonderful nose he did for forumers.

But then areadi promised to go to dr chuang liao so cant go to him.. anyway budget is another issue, if do at dr jung, saving will be wiped out. Boh Dr Jung, Dr chuang mah ho. No teacher still can go to student. :lol:

Hi ocean11,

Yea maybe tanjhj is right. Maybe Dr jung also feels that high nose will looks harsh on ur features. May i know how many days to ur surgery liao?
Becuase mine when during the 1st to 3rd week, my nose bridge also looks kind of thick, but now its ok liao, can see its slimmer now. Dont worry, after one month u can see the goretex much slimmer liao. :P

I've consult Dr Seah before, and seen his past patient photos. I felt that if you really want a significant improvement, I wouldnt reccomend Dr Seah. He does more of a natural and enhancement, whcih for me I want to see great enhancement in my looks if I were to do my nose. :)

Dr Seah counter there got one nurse, I think she did alar, implant. I find it too fake (nose too straight and small at the end), but its nice. She look pretty. Haha. But still not the type I will go for.

I personally felt Dr Martin huang is good, but look a bit fake, dont know is it too perfect that it look a bit fake. Not the kind that I will go for.

Does anyone know the TCS celebrity Yee fong? I find her nose quite ugly, I mean I prefer her looks before rather than after, so I wouldnt want to do under her doctor as while.

Thus left me with overseas options. I still figuring out what nose I want. Hard decision.

Yea it only raise a little because the Dr advise me not to do so high as too high bridge will look harsh on my face features and also will look fake if my nose tip too long. With e new nose, it does makes me look better when i take pics, can see the define of the nose now.
The doctor at who did for me at KALO is Dr.Song. Hes from china but trained in korea and heard hes going to england duno when, i also didnt ask much...so not to worry about his skills though i heard in this forum that kalo has only GP cert? lol
Kalo is run by a chinese, not malay, not to worry about that.
I see most of their customers are rich tai tais over at JB branch. If there were to have anything goes wrong, im sure the rich tai tais over at the KL side will be e 1st to do something then. lol
So not to worry about that, in my own opinion, doing at KALO is actually just like doing in Singapore, the standard.

But on e other hand, pls do more research before u decide on what you want to do, and also the final decision is urs where u would like to have urs done at. =)




244522 wrote:hey appletree

I realise its really nice and natural
But it only rise a little
Does it make a difference to your overall looks?
And which doctor did you went to at Kalo.
And is Kalo a safe place.
I'm worried about the security of the place and profession of the doctors.

Thanks in advance.
Dr Song is a nice man and honest one too and he has over 8 years exp in PS, trained in China and a short course at korea. He is a fully certified doc but as there is no professional board for PS surgeon in China unlike korea, thus it is not fair to say he is not professional certified. However in PS, sometimes the skills is more impt than Certs.. i have seen enough in local PS standard to know that cert doesnt mean skill.

Kalo is a pretty decent place for common PS surgery like doing rhino implant and eyelid surgery. as for facilities wise, i would say look clean and decently equipped for simple surgery. For the price of below 2k for a nose job, it is quite a bargain.

If u ask me for a guage, i would give it 7/10 for overall security and facilities and equipment. 10/10 is like what u see in dr seah & dr wong clinic, those well known local PS clinic standard.

Currently looking and searching at thailand where common PS surgery cost around $300 each and operated by fully certified thai PS surgeon.

hi ocean11!

hope u r feeling better now! sorry to hear abt ur nose bridge hgt... well, i'm 1.7m, but does hgt hav to do with high bridge?? coz i think song and many other koreans are quite short ley! but still their bridges are quite high compared to mine.

actually, i asked for relly relly low bridge, in fact my exact words were'the flatter the better, yue bian yue hao' which triggered a lot nof laughter fr him. but i feel that my bridge is still very high! in fact, i m tempted to push it down myself everyday.
but i think tts juz me.

perhaps dr. jung relly feels like tanjhj mentioned, tt ur face is relly small, so high will be harsh??
sorry i cant say anything more...

BUTBUTBUT hope this cheers u up a little, coz like blueberry and hannah mentioned, the bridge thickness WILL definitely thin down and become MUCH more defined. in fact, mine is pretty slim now (i asked for natural, not even narrow), and its only gonna get slimmer durin the next few mths.

re my tip, well...i think ints relly natural, not very round (was very round first 2 mths) but juz wondering if it can be made more well defined nor thinner?? hmm...not sure if u get wat i'm tryin to bring across...but then again, will ask dr., jung wat he feels again

aso tanjhj, revision with him is free he mentioned. think tts wat he told badboy too.

and i rem askin him tt qn. abt removal of gortex. IF i rem correctly, u can remove and hav the revision on the same day/time.
hope this helps!

Thanks shermaine, i like natural too. but that doesnt mean it have to be low.. u should see those korean patient that walk into the clinic, their face is even smaller den mine, but the bridge is really high and natural.. i am really confused now as in should i get him to increase the bridge now or to wait for another few more mths? but if base on the swelling now, i already find it too low liao!! which mean after swelling is gng to be worst??
will discuss with him on monday, hopefully he can come out with a solution..
i don know whether our high got to do with the height of the bridge, mabe it have to be balance??
but den again why do he suggested to u for song's nose but not me? will ask him again. now i can only count down the hours to see him on monday again.. :( too many qns to ask..

agree abt dr seah. but than he is very safe and trusted doctor to go to. Price is average but his svc is one of the better doc in Local PS. he listens and he suggest and he is honest.

Shermaine,

thanks for ur answers. save Ocean11 a hassle to remember my questions.

i am thinking too that can straight away do revision after removal coz silicone is the straight away revision after removal. just wanna double confirm.

anyway now i know why he charges USD5k liao. to give free revision is really a risk for him.. but nevertheless it is the result that counts.

Regarding if one is suitable for high nose, it depends on the " length "of the face plus the brow stucture plus the cheek structure. Next will be how tight the nose skin and whether how much it can stretch. of coz there is other conditions that restricts the height. Last will be how close ur eyes are apart from each other. but most of ppl, who cant have high bridges have restrictions in one or all of the abv 3 conditions.

good news for those with tight skin at nose area. it may be still possible if u redo the nose after a year or two, allowing the skin to grow and expand. than replace the implant with another one of higher nose bridge, etc..

if i had the ability i'll definitely go for dr jung. in my opinion, those considering whether to go for dr kim or jung should not only consider the skills, but also the doctor's attitude. it's like if dr kim has the best skills but he bo chap u after surgery, it's not very good also. everyone said dr jung is fatherly, free revision some more! dr jungggggggg!
