Hello fellow Gtalkers.
Ive been on this forum since forever I think. I havent posted in a while but want to share my recent experience. Na shareko nga experience ko when I first had rhino a decade ago back when I was waayyyyy younger. I had silicone implant which was okay,after nung surgery,nung nag fade na yung maga, parang hindi pantay yung silicone, sabi nung surgeon ko, oh just sleep on the other side to balance,nag improve pero paling pa rin. I enjoyed naman my new look, pero as I got older, parang nagloosen saka lumapad na uli ilong ko so I wanted to get it redone pero I did not want to go back previous surgeon, I researched and narrowed it down to 2 doctors - Rino Lorenzo and Raynald Torres - both agreed na the implant was not in the middle and that elongating my nose would suit me well, Rino told me to ask my previous doctor to revise it which I did not like. The reason why I went tothem is because I wanted another surgeon. Also, my deciding factor din was the price, since both naman are well-loved and had raving reviews online - presyo na lang nagkatalo - I think RIno quoted 95k, tapos Raynald was 85k so Raynald na ako.
I also had lipo and chin augmentation (parang Xander Ford lang ang peg).
Raynald took cartilage from my right ear and combined it with Goretex to enhance my nose. It all went quickly, the consult, me deciding to have 3 surgeries and then the surgery itself. Because I was having lipo,I was under general anesthesia.
Eto na, surgery time. I went to his clinic for the drawings - he does lipo under general because if under local he said, a lot of surgeons stop once the patient starts moving because the local anesthesia's wearing off, pag general daw kasi, he can make sure na maganda labas and makukuha lahat ng fats. I then proceeded to the operating room, I was given an IV drip then sedated, he did my chin first but I barely remember it then took some cartilage off my ear tapos yung nose na - hindi ko na feel compared to when I had my first rhino, I cried because of the local anesthesia injections. Then nothing.
I woke up groggy. Went back to sleep. Woke up again, this time, my companion brought me soup to drink - and the nurse helped me walk around, they even wheeled me to my unit in a wheelchair!
I had a team of doctors and nurses, his practice is located in Centuria Medical which had an Emergency Room in case something goes wrong.
Anyway, it's Day 2 post surgery, I can update you of my progress if you're interested, I am really hoping for great results!
Oh and by the way, I paid 120k for the lipo which targeted my lower, upper abdomen, waist pati back.
