I had been emailing Dr Prinya for fat transfer and he told me it will be 40,000 THB.
I visited Hatyai beginning of October 2013 I Stayed at Centra it was a nice hotel. I had arranged with Dr Prinya and he scheduled me in for 9am, I arrived at 8.45am and the clinic did not open till 9.20am a very rude nurse came up to me and said in front of everyone what are you having? I fell so embarrassed and uncomfortable the way she was talking to me this made me so nervous.
I ended up in the waiting room and didn’t see Dr Prinya till 10.45 I explained to him everything I wanted and I felt like he didn’t take much notice he told me that he will operate 2 more people then he will see me… why set a time if you’re not going to stick to it!! I kept thinking in my head it’s not too late to leave… but I didn’t want to waste coming all the way to Thailand on the plane and paying for a hotel.
It got to 12.30 and I had to pay which they told me 50,000THB when he told me 40,000 THB in the email DR Prinya was nowhere to be seen to discuss this… I then paid and I was given medicine to make me drowsy, it didn’t really work I was awake the whole procedure after it had finished Dr Prinya again was nowhere to be seen and the nurses were leaving to go on their lunch break one nurse told me I can stay and sleep while their out I was dying to get out of their even after have the procedure.
I went back to the hotel I rested and I could not see a change I know it was still early but surely I would see a bit of a difference , I stayed in the hotel everyday just watching TV, I was just waiting to fly back home as I really hated the whole experience.
When I arrived back home the next day I was out with my friend and I felt like I was getting fever my body temperature was changing so I went to the pharmacy to get something for it.
Days went on and I was getting worse and worse and I lost my appetite and I could not move or walk my friends kept advising me to go to the Dr but I kept thinking it will go soon. One and a half week later it was so bad and the part Dr Prinya had injected the fat into had become bumpy and I could not put pressure on it. I realised that I should go to hospital I met with an amazing Dr who was very shocked and told me that the areas Dr Prinya had placed the fat have got infected which was spreading and infecting my blood leading to my high temperature. I was at the lowest point in my life I was getting sicker I was constantly on IV and medication as I could not bare the pain. I had to have surgery and the Dr tried to inject all the bad blood and fat out that dr prinya had injected. I felt better for one day then I became really ill again which let me to have another operation where the dr had to cut my skin in the areas and drain the blood out this eventually made me better but now I have to live with deep scars due to Dr Prinya not knowing what he was doing.
This is so scary!! I wonder does Dr Prinya really have the skills or like what great Ross said, he's just out there to make quick bucks.
I've been one of the unlucky patient of Dr Prinya and until today, 6 months post op, I still must say he did a very disguising job for my nose.
I have consulted plastic surgeons in Singapore and emailed some surgeons in Korea as well. Seems like most of them has got bad things to say about my nose.
6 months post op, my nostrils is still uneven because the silicon was too short. My tip of the nose is blunt and upturned (pig nose). It is much worst than my first rhino done by dr pat in tokai or I even dare to say my original nose without any surgeries is better than this because at least my tip is not blunt and upturned with nostrils flaring out. I can't help but to tear everytime I see my photos in the past.
I also have been suffering from chronic infection from the alarplasty done by dr prinya. My alarplasty wound site was badly infected for 4 months plus due to the suture dr prinya used, my dissolvable stitch didn't dissolve at all!!!! And because of these foreign bodies, my op site always appear red and swelled up.
I've consulted Dr Wong from geneagles, he said if the stitch doesn't come out, I might need another op to cut the infected site to remove the stitch. I was quite against the idea to cut the site because it was still infected and dr wong said it might cause more scarring too but if that's the only choice I've left then i'll do it.
After I got home from my consult with Dr Wong, I feel so sad and depressed, filled with regrets, thinking that how good will that be if I didn't do anything with dr prinya at all. Feeling depressed and all, I went to get my tweezer (for plucking eyebrows), went right in to try to pull the stitch from my alar. I didn't succeed of course. So I thought I might need to arrange an appt with dr wong for an op to remove the stitch. The next day, I don't know if I should call it a blessing in disguise because I used the tweezer to try to pull out the stitch right? The wound site was badly infected, filled with pus! So I applied some anti bacteria cream on it and left it there for awhile. Suddenly I felt some leaking out from my alar. So I went to the mirror, I saw my pus will flowing out and at the same time, the irritating stitch that has been bugging me for 4 months came out as well!
Thankfully I didn't have to go through another round of surgery especially on the infected site to remove the stitch!
I would say based on my personal experience with Dr prinya, I think he is lacking of skills, decision and beauty perception to operate. I say that simply because when i go to him for a rhinoplasty, he just gave me a box of silicon of all sizes and let me choose what I want. I am not a surgeon and how will i know if I look good with which implant right? So I described to him the kind of nose that I want and he pointed a silicon to me. He then place the implant on my nose for me to see, my first question for him is, will the implant be too short for me? He said no. I stupidly went ahead with it.
Finally, it's 6 months now! I can finally do my revision. I can't wait to get this piggy nose out of my face. My revision op is this Friday! Yay.
hope this helps!
