Down time if I am not wrong is about 3 weeks. You might want to consider it first as opposed to having jaw reduction using botox. A lot of ppl have tried it and it works on most, especially if you have strong jaw muscles.
If you are going Yanhee, I would recommentd Dr Greechart as he is the head of department for ps.
Hope this helps..
but the website of yanhee only state tt hospitalisation for 2 nites... but y is it so tt it takes 3 weeks? i can only afford to skip lessons and my part time job for a week plus...
or is there any other doc in thailand tt u can recommend who is skilled in such surgery?
Hi, im also intending to head yanhee for double eyelid and jaw reduction or face lipo. probably in dec or jan? wanna go together?
beauty is confidence
how much will it be for Dr Charan or Dr Somyos? the average will be ard USD2500 includin the hospitalisation fees? do u noe any1 who had a similar surgery and can relate their experiences to me?Maverick21 wrote:Cos it involves the shaving of your jaw bone(ouch), there can be quite a bit of trauma involving your face... The two days hospital stay is to observe whether there is any side effects, one week is definitely not enough. As of now , I'm about to recover but still there is some swelling and bruises... Do you need a chin implant instead? Cos it's impt to the symmetry of your face too...
The person I can think of in Thailand is Dr Charan. He is trained in craniofacial surgery and american ps board certified. The other guy is Dr Somyos. But both their prices don't come cheap, comparable to ps in Taiwan.
Hope this helps
i dun think tt i need a chin implant... i'm worried bout putting "things" in more than takin things out... so i'd juz go for jaw shavin. is it really tt painful? by the words, it sounds dreadly painful but i'm not tt sure in reality... my chin is slightly pointed... it's juz tt my jaws are too big which made my face look pretty round and broad... hai... really sad when i see my own photos...
sure... y not u leave me ur email? i'll mail u my no... then u can contact me in private? seems not too safe to leave our contacts here...furly angel wrote:bigfaced wrote:i'd given great thought to it... mine is definately jaw bone instead of the common jaw muscles... tt's e reason y i op for a surgery then to go for botox...Maverick21 wrote:Jaw reduction surgery is a pretty major op.

Seriously I don't know how it feels like to shave your jaw bone as I had never done it before but it should be more painful than implants which for me, for the first day, is pretty painful.... But I guess you have to pay a price for beauty, just like me haha.... We are all vain pp right?
Think there is someone who has done it... Try searching the ps abroad thread... This guy did something to his jaw too in Taiwan...
As for the price think you have to e mail them for quotes....

bone shaving
Anybody interested to do bone shaving?
Any contacts for any gd doctors? in bkk/taiwan/korea?
Recently consulted a korean doc, n the price was like USD 4500 for jaw reduction and jaw reduction each. Is that the standard price? cos it'll be like USD9000 for both which isn't exactly v cheap?
thanks for any feedbacks.

With prices that high, really should go taiwan/korea instead.
To the people who say that thai doctors are good at face reshaping / jaw reduction.. Go take a look at those trans work done. I've seen quite abit of feminization jaw surgery work and the results are quite poor as compared to the taiwan/korea drs.

I beg to disagree with you. Within a country there must be good and not so good surgeons. It's a matter of finding the right one. That is why we have this forum to give pp advice and also share with each other. I have seen very beautiful "katoeys".... Of course there are also black sheep.. In fact I think there are quite a lot in Thailand... These doctors might not be trained in ps and yet are doing it cos of the demand... So it imperative that you do your homework before doing anything...
Just my two cents worth...

Firstly, ethnic thai people don't really have huge masseters and wide angled jaws, unlike many chinese like us. Going along that line, it's safe to say the doctors don't need to do as much jaw shaving for them as compared to us locals => not as difficult.
The many trans cases i saw are of ang mohs with the real macho jaws (Think Brad Pitt) and the end result looked kinda fake, jaw looking like it's being chopped off without good contour. I'm not here to spread propaganda but giving my honest take on this. Jaw shaving is a super major surgery so that's why im voicing out my opinion on this.. i usually don't give a damn.
If you get a bad nose job, you can still do a revision.. Once you cut the jaws, you'll never get back the missing bone.
If you think i'm talking nonsense here, please.... for your own body, go research on this. There's been quite a few TW sites posted by people before about doctors specializing in this surgery, so see for yourself and let your eyes be the judge

I have read those web sites and I agree with you that Taiwan and Korea doctors are good in this kind of surgery... Hell I'm even thinking of going there for jaw implants myself next time... But that does not mean Thai doctors are no good in this...
Some of the doctors in Thailand actually have a large number of foreign patients which want to do major surgery like cheek, jaw implant etc... And I believe these doctors have the capability to do it right.. You might be right in saying that the facial contours of a Thai are different of that an Chinese but using my case as an example, Dr Preecha actually operates on pp all around the world even Japan and Taiwan... So my guess is his wealth of experience would be an reassuring factor to anyone who wants to do it there....
After saying all this, I'm not discouraging or encouraging anyone to go Thailand for their Ps. It's their own decision and for anyone going for ps pls.... pls.... Do more research and ask before going... Cheers and peace...
