I've been reading this thread since before my surgery at KALO. I am from KL and I did my surgery at their office in Midvalley which was 30 minutes from where I lived.
My Dr was Doctor Song as well. Although I didn't speak to him much because my consultant did all the liaising with him and it seems to me like all he spoke was Chinese.
Anyway, I had 3 procedures, refinement of the nose tip, alarplasty and augmentation at the bridge using silicon.
That was last Sunday, October 7.
And today, 3 days after, my nose is suffering so much swelling. It looks so huge, even bigger than my nose before which kinda beats the purpose of paying so much $$ to get it smaller in the first place.
KALO only gave like a 3 types of medication, including ponstan, a pain-killer.
I try to tell myself that my nose swelling will recover, but it's so hard to believe.
My nose feels stiff, bloated, painful. And I can't stand it when I have to sneeze.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is this normal to have really BAD swelling?
I'd appreciate your share of stories!
PS: I'm feeling so depressed seeing my nose bigger than before[/quote]
