Foubelle,


Gortex implants are porous, so the body's tissue can grow into it which helps to keep the implant from migrating. The implant is soft and flexible, allowing it to be molded into certain shapes prior to placement into the soft tissue. In addition, the implants can be removed if desired, allowing you to choose whether or not your implants are permanent. That is why it is alot MORE expensive than Silicone which is "DEAD" (tissues cannot grow around or into it) so it tends to come shift, change shape etc with time or accidents etc...Besides, because it is so hard, it is very noticeable from the outside if not shaped and/or implanted properly- the nose tip is the worst especially those "L" shape implants because the pressure at the end is too great. My sister's tip has thin out within a year!!! Anyway, hers look very unnatural but she can live with it..... LOL

With Mephor, it is harder to remove once it stablises with our own tissues.

i was doing some research on mini lift for my eye and came across something which solved the mistery of why my scalp (top of head area) feeling painful n numb after my multi-op last month. the scalp was sooo sensitive esp when i had to lift my hands to change n washed hair.

phew!! it was becos of my lower eyelift lift!!! :lol: now, that the pain n numbness r gone, and, that i found out what caused it, i am finally relieved. cos i was afraid it was an side effect of op.

Hi,

You are absolutely right about using your own tissues/cartilage because it is the safest (its all yours to keep) and probably with the least side effect (if any). However, the problem is not everyone of us have enough of cartilage to use (septum) within the nose or insufficient (especially those who have had multiple surgeries) to augment a nose of your desired shape and size, hence, silastic implants are used instead. One of the obvious reasons most surgeons prefer the latter is ease of insertion and/or removal.

There are some interesting pictures on his website, and it gives one an idea what to expect after natural augmentation (or reduction), however, I tend to have the opinion that cartilage grafts especially at the tip (above supratip) must be well shaped otherwise it will be edgy and the skin will not drape properly in the long term. What you do not want is a bumpy tip which can be very distracting.
http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/news/hsuyc ... 0527092313
Nonetheless, a properly shaped nose combined with good healing with natural cartilage can be very appealing and certainly natural in the long term. It really depends on the surgeons' surgical skills and artistic talent here.

Thanks for the link.

SinEcch

Post by kwelll » Sun, 22 Jul 2007 8:27 pm

Has anyone in Singapore successfully bought "SinEcch" and is happy with it?

Am considering taking this because my wound never seem to heal, still plenty of swelling and recently the self dissolvable stitches where the incisions are got irritated causing even more swelling!! I don`t think its a case of slow healing but something is wrong somewhere ....Bummer ...:(

Takuda: Hello84 is probably first of our forum member to be going to Dr. Hsu. I posted his info and Hello84 followed up n is going to Dr. Hsu becos he prefers autologous implant too. I think Dr. Hsu is well trained cos he spend more than half day/few days seminar with Dr. Toriumi. He was an understudy for more than 1 year and is also ENT specialist. I called him before and I like his attitude which shows in his site and his contribution in Taiwan FashionGuide forum. He is relatively young and eager to assist. Gives info freely and is careful to advise in completeness.
Dunno for sure but seems Dr. Chuang has done more rhino but is not expert in 100% autologous implant. If implant material is not a concern, then best if you consult both to make decision for yourself. gd luck!

Thanks DMN for your input. It excites me to know Dr. Hsu was trained under the renowned Dr. Toriumi (who has at least 6 months waiting time for a consult!). I do agree with you about Dr. Chuang, he seems a conservative man and perfers to use implants instead for obvious reasons. I must add that what Dr. Toriumi and Hsu do are highly skilled and require much talent and experience to perform (not simply insertion of material) because I do not believe the nose would look any good without proper tip projection to balance the height of the bridge. Another, just my personal opinion. That brings me the question, why did I not go to Dr. Hsu in the first place???? His fees are so attractive too which is always a bonus but not everything. :)

Good luck to those seeing him, am so excited for you.

hey Kwell,

i can understand yr anxiety now tt yr swelling gets worse... :cry: i was too wondering why i did not go to dr. Hsu when i was swelling badly cos despite setting out to get 100% autologous implant i agreed to goretex n donor's cartilage. i thot to myself:" damn, if all autologous material then swelling wld hv gone down faster." but my anxiety went away as i heal.

hope u de-swell fast. probably need to get a strong antibiotics.

best,
dmn
