Hey Angelfern - how does your sister and your nose look these days? Are you happy with the shape? Did it resorb a lot? And how does it feel? Like a natural nose?angelfern wrote:Dr Kao is our doctor.
My sis & I went together. So far so good, my sister has received compliments but no one suspects anything & it's only been 2 months exactly.
Ours are also revision cases too.
Best to get someone to accompany you if you want to use autologous rib.
Previously, i also had reservations on using my own rib, was so tempted to use donated ribs, right till the day of consultation with Dr Kao, but because taiwan only gain approval of using donated ribs in dec 2009, Dr Kao only had 7 to 8 cases of donated ribs in 2010 compared to a few hundred cases of autologous rib, i decided better don't be the guinea pig.
now it's been done, i'm glad i use my own rib,
If u use your own rib, antibiotics can easily heal it if there's infection.
It's not scary, after the GA, u get knocked out, when u wake up, don't feel intense pain, just ache.
Psychologically, also don't feel short of a part of the rib as tissues will grow over the missing gap.
I've started jogging, no visible difference or discomfort.
I noticed from your previous posts that people didn't seem to have noticed that you and your sister had rhinoplasty - was it because the enhancement was subtle and completely harmonious with your facial features? Or was it because you took a lot of pre-operative precautions with supplements?
Actually I am thinking of doing it with Dr. Kao, and I am wondering if you could tell me what your pre-operative supplement regimen was that you took for a month
Thanks!
