Non-Silicone Implant Nose Surgery (ribs -> rib cartilage), mandibular implants
5,379My concern was my nose bridge and flared nose tip. I envisioned to have defined nose tip. I came to Girin PS and had a consultation.
I heard many times that Girin PS is specialized in facial bone contour surgery. A friend I met at the guesthouse got a nose job there,and it looked pretty good. So I decided to visit and see the doctor at Girin PS.
Dr. Lee from this clinic explained in detail and showed many of his surgical cases. I decided to go ahead my nose surgery with this clinic.
He recommended me to do the rib cartilage for the nose bridge instead of the silicone implant. My nose was very low so that the rib cartilage implant might be the ideal type of surgery for me. Oh, my God!
However, I have seen many people with inflammation after silicone nose surgery and have always had negative thoughts. I was interested in rib cartilage nose surgery because it has few side effects. My ideal shape of the nose is a high nasal bridge and a looking natural likeski slope curve.
Dr. said he could make improvements to my nose shape. And my mouth looked like protruded because of the smallchin volume.
I also decided to have a surgery to put implants in the chin. I was very nervous just before I go into the surgery,but the consultant helped me kindlyto relax. 54 0 15867 After 7 days I had tape on my nose until day 7.
It looked pretty good when they removed the tape from the nose. It was so comfortable when they took out the cotton ballsfrom the nostril.
