Extreme Makeover ( Sg-Version! )
26 February 2008 was the start.
Now, its day 227 of my extreme makeover project.
The hits and misses
1) Chin Implant Non-surgical
2) First two rounds of botox
3) The nose job
4) Lip reduction
5) First two rounds of botox
The grey areas
1) Lip reduction
The misses
1) Excessive botox
Future plans :
I'm starting on a new phase of my makeover project
1) Within 30 days - Tone up the body thorougly, building lean muscle, and get tanned. BODY IS HALF THE EQUATION!
2) Next month November 2008 - Chin implant at Tokai/Nara
3) Hair removal of upper lips area in Singapore IPL
Now I rate myself as 5 out of 10 in pictures, and 6 out of 10 in real life.
As the botox effect wears off, I build up my bod, do the chin implant, and laser removal, I expect... 6 out of 10 in pics, and 7.5 out of 10 in real life.
The major transforming surgery could be my jaw reduction, cheekbone and/or browbone reduction but I will consult thorouglly. and see whether what I have done is already enough...

hey good to hear your happy .
Anyway what did you do to get the sunken effect on your cheeks?
Do you have b4 and after effect pics of this?
I quite like the effect of this something like those model look.
Also, what do you recommend to inject that is safe and will completely be reabosorb to the body.
I have heard tht certain chemicals stay in your body for good.
thanks!

Botox should be, but latest research is contradicting
lip lift (somyos) - sept09, eyes, lip redn in taipei - dec09
In order to win my love competitor by end of this year, drastic measures I am undertaking
1) Tone up
2) Skincare - Restabilise my skin, even with help of dermatologist.
3) Sleep more
4) Chin implant at Nara in November.
5) Thigh Liposuction (?)
6) ? - Alar to be raised up a little, and scar revision
Long term projects are the "bone projects"
1) Mandible Angle and Mandible Reduction
2) Cheekbone reduction ( Still considering, cos may make me look weird, due to fact that my forehead is wide. )
3) Browbone Reduction
Super-long term project is
1) Creation of the natural autologous nose. My request is for bridge to start higher up, and for tip to be further defined.

hi, jaw reduction & zygomatic reduction shorten diff parts of the face. jaw for the lower width & zygomatic for the upper width.I was hoping that there is a surgical procedure that simply reduce the overall facial width. I have also emailed some thai drs like dr charan, dr pat & dr nara but no response fr them yetboii18 wrote:maybe can do your own research?mondayhue wrote:i am interested to know more abt ur jaw reduction. any recc, advice on that? wad's the diff between jaw reduction and zygomatic surgery? wanted to find at least a reputable doc but dun wanna spend too much as in must be within my budget.

. U did ur jaw reduction with dr nara right? how did u find the overall peformance? Any physical pain after OP? Did u face any communication barrier with the nurses and dr? plus, u went there alone or a companion is needed?
And yea, I agree with the rest that surgeries really enhance and lighten ur facial features.

hi monday i intend to be going to taiwan with dr chuang most likely to do the bone surgeries unless gucci further updates on her experience.mondayhue wrote:hi, jaw reduction & zygomatic reduction shorten diff parts of the face. jaw for the lower width & zygomatic for the upper width.I was hoping that there is a surgical procedure that simply reduce the overall facial width.

* Answer : There is no such surgery. By reducing the zygoma you reduce already the facial width and noticeable reduction, by reducing the jaw bone you have noticeable reduction of face width also. *
. U did ur jaw reduction with dr nara right?
* I did with dr pat, or you're referring to cerse? Cerse did his eyes only with nara i think. *
how did u find the overall peformance?
* scars healing well for lip lift, alar left abit of hairline incisional scars. bridge can be higher but am contented. will not surgery for 2-3 years or more, my final surgery will be 100% autologous.*
Any physical pain after OP?
*some, due to many surgeries. however is bearable, and i inject morphine intravenous*
Did u face any communication barrier with the nurses and dr?
* dr pat's nurses are friendly and fabulous. dr pat has reasonable english *
plus, u went there alone or a companion is needed?
* first time and second with friends, third alone *
And yea, I agree with the rest that surgeries really enhance and lighten ur facial features.

* most likely in taiwan*[/b]
