Hey everyone!
Got back from Yoskarn a couple of days ago. And I am happy to say, a very successful trip!!!!
I really dont know where to start, anywho. I had 3 procedures done at Yoskarn, eyelash implants, eyelid revision and rino (alar, tiplasty and refinement of bridge)
When I arrived in Thailand i was taken straight to the hospital for some tests, blood pressure, x-ray and blood tests, needless to say this really scared me and I started having doubts about the whole trip. My main worry was that I was not fit enough to go through with the surgery so thank god it was all ok!
Anyway I will try keep it short. I stayed at aphrodite inn which is linked directly with yoskarn, they have a door that leads straight into the clinic so no need to walk the streets all puffy and swollen!
My consultation with Dr Somyos Kunachak was about 25 minutes, he had his surgical gear on and seemed a bit rushed for time. he looked at my nose and proposed a silicone implant alar, tip refinement. I said no to the silicone implant which he accepted. My main concern with my nose is not my bridge, altho it is not very high it is not low to start off with. So he suggested alar,tiplasty bridge refinement and aquamid on the upper part of my nose bridge. I asked to see some pictures and he said to look at his website, admittedly this disheartened me a little. So then I asked his assistants if i could see pictures and they said they would show me the next day which they did after i had paid. I think they are only willing to show you before and afters when you are definately going to have surgery with them.
I looked at rhinos of western and asian patients and i have to say they were incredible. Alot of them were revisions too which is actually alot harder than primary. Some of them had really complexed noses and Dr Kunachak had managed to turn them not only into 'normal' looking noses but into really beautiful looking ones. There were lots of folders of before and after pictures, she couldnt show me most of them as they had not given permission. But the ones I saw made me much more confident and relaxed about the whole situation. I saw a couple of eyelid revisions, which again I was impressed with and a few eyelash transplant ones.
Had my eyes and nose done together, minimal pain although the injections were quite nasty. The packing that is used to stuff the nose is awful too, i couldnt breathe out of my nose for 3 days and had a really sore throat and any water i tried to drink kept going up the wrong pipe! The worse procedure was the eyelash transplant. Dr Somyos' team performed the transplant on me, with about 4 of them working on me. The injections were incredibly painful and I actually cried during the procedure!haha I feel stupid and bad for crying but it was so painful I couldnt keep it in.
I am 2 weeks post op and I must say I absolutely adore my new nose. Id like to share my pictures but not just posting them up here. My tip is so defined and 'cute' and the contour of my nose is just so delicate and feminine! Is there a photo album site where I can make an album and a special password for people? I am so happy with what Dr Somyos has done for me, the longer I was at Yoskarn the more friendly and warm Dr Somyos and thier team were to me. The post op care is amazing, and they would often bring me treats and desserts. I am also very happy with my eyes although they are still swollen and its too early for the results of eyelash transplant (can take 6 months).
Dr Somyos is a very busy man. After my eyelid revision they took me to my room for about 15 minutes as he had a couple of consultations to see to....now I realise when I had my consultation what he was doing. Then after that they did my nose. I think he finished at around 9pm. So to those who were also put off by his website, I dont blame him if he does not have any time to look at it, he is always working!!! I saw alot of patients, and a few with bandaged up noses....am still surprised there is still so little information about him on the net, as in my personal opinion he is a very highly skilled surgeon.
wow, theres so much I can say but am just so overwhelmed. Please anyone ask questions because I know how one persons opinion/experience matters so much as I was researching I was desperate for the slightest bit of information. Fire away!!
Hi there,EnvyMe wrote:You can purchase everything at Makemeheal.com , both compression garment and sinecch. Sinecch is only costing about $40 SGD over there.
I just ordered mine and waiting for it to arrive at my place, going over to Nara for LIPO very very soon! So excited.
Zipper is stage 1 garment and non zipper is stage 2 garments.
Stage 1 is worn 1st-2nd week right after surgery and stage 2 garments is for you to wear after that up to 6-8weeks -> that will solve your saggy skin problem therefore getting the compression garment is definitely needed!
I was once like you, finding lots of research and all, now I'm already done with my homework and getting ready to go!!
P/s: not trying to advertise or what here but customer service from makemeheal.com is excellent!!!! Forever they'll answer all your questions and not afraid that they will leave out any question you ask.
Damn friendly.
if u dun mind not showering on the day after ur lipo, then u dun need to buy.. u can go bakc to nara the next day to change the dressing to the waterproof film for u.. it wil stay on for 1 week or longer till u remove ur stitches..EnvyMe wrote:pootie wrote:i actually cant realy remember if i woke up or the nurse/doc woke me. but i remembered faintly walking in the robe and changing back to my clothes. by then i was already much awake and could walk back to the hotel. and i told myslef i had to walk str8 and not like a drunkard.. lolsasa05_ wrote: u noe ah, when my gf was telling me wat she heard..
i was like errr... errrr...... "how ah?"
so the doc will actually wake u up once its done?
how do u feel the moment u're up?
any pain/discomfort or tiredness?
Could anyone advise me wat's the difference btw compression wif zippers and without? Which 1 is better?
I'm lookng at veronique's c-garments.
the 1 for lowerbody - both are above knee body garments (same thing)
wif zippers are "Ideal for immediate postoperative wear."
non zippers are "Ideal for wear during the final body contouring and skin retraction phase of your recovery"
of cos non zippers is wat i looking at...
to retract the skin
actually i was looking at full body suit all along.
but then now i'm thinking maybe i shld buy seperates cos i still can wear it as girdle in future when i wear dresses?
So many things to read, do research and purchase....
looking forward to it yet so nervous at the same time....
Sorry Pootie, did you mentioned which area you did with Nara? Sorry too many post till I'm so mixed up already.
Wa need to put on the waterproof filming huh.. I am going to to arms, tummy and thigh. which means I have difficulty to shower after that. I'm thinking of gg to the hair salon to wash my hair everyday. Lol. Salon in hatyai should be cheap also ba?
Oh yah, one question, may I ask you for each area/each day you did the lipo, how long was the whole procedure from you getting to lie on the surgery bed till you get up to go?
Thanks!

I ordered these : (Brand: Marena)
(Stage 1) http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=33528
(Stage 2) http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=33529
(Arms) http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=33548
(Sinecch) http://www.makemeheal.com/mmh/product.do?id=10369
Yeap I am in SG and the shipping method I chose International Standard as I have time to wait. This method takes about 5-10 days to reach you. If you want faster, choose International Express which takes 2-6days if I'm not wrong, but will be more expensive of course.
The shipping can be calculated altogether after you wanna finalize your order, then you convert the price to SGD lo, it's in USD anyway.
So ya sasa, do your calculations right, you calculate the total price of all the item you gonna order in SG and total price if you ordering from Makemeheal.com + shipping fee and compare. That's what I did and for me it's cheaper to get from makemeheal.com
And depends on you ba, it's better to buy 2 stages of compression garment if you want maximize compression. They have their purposes to make 2 stages of garments for lipo patients.
Design Veronique garments are higher price than Marena though, but after much homework, many lipo patients said that Marena is enough. (:
I am not very big size that's why I'm confident my tummy just need 1 day where I read some forumers who is bigger size would have to sepeare their tummy into 2 days = 2 areas.
there cld be potential for error. i did eyes, nose, chin first with nara, then went tokai for jaw implants one yr later. the jaw implants ended up throwing off the proportions for the chin, so my face looked improportional. had to revise my chin implant after that. moral of my story, you have to be aware which areas of the face affect the others.yeegf wrote:PLEASE do not do that!Berserkmind wrote:I got a question for those of you out there who has done surgeries to change the shape/contour of your face.
I will be doing chin and cheekbone implants with Dr Nara, but i am thinking of going to Tokai for Jaw bone reduction either 1 day before or 1 day after the surgery at Hatyai. if my face is swollen (out of shape) due to a surgery before that, will the doctor doing the surgery after have problem judging what size of implant or how much to cut becos he cant tell how my actual face shape looks like?
Like example if Dr Pat does jaw reduction based on my current chin and cheekbone size but 2 days later i go Dr Nara to do implants will the proportion go wrong? or will Dr Nara chose too large implants for me cos my face will look too big due to swelling?
That is highly risky and they are only but human and not Gods.
They will most likely make mistakes even if you tell them beforehand that it's swollen..
You better wait for the swell to go off before you regret doing such a unsensible thing..
DONT do it..
bumrungrad is popular, but not cheap, so if u have a budget, Yanhee is prob your one stop center for the above.

Where in Bangkok is the Best place to have the above surgery/operation/services done? I am hoping that a good hospital is recommended. I can stay in the hospital till everything is done and not be exposed to the outside world till then..
Hopefully you guys can send me some estimated price and personal experience?

Am so loving myself for the honesty!! hahaha
I always thought girls are more observant about such stuffs but i was wrong..
It really depends on individual...
Only close frenz knew.What is Yanhee?
