Hey Feline - FINALLY! good to know there's a light at the end of your tunnel! Hope you LIKE what you see each morning though. Appletree - in my case, the cartilage sits on top of the bridge all the way to the tip. It's still quite hard/firm. It's not like you have the bridge bone and then it goes in...

Methinks root canals are such standard procedures - a good dentist in HDB heartland will do just a good a job as some fancy schmaltzy Orchard Road big name. I had mine done a couple of years ago in Tampines (Lee Dental) for SGD450. Way before that, had one done at a Yishun Clinic - also a Dr Lee (Go...

Wow! This site has really gone a fair ways. Feline, you've been holding the fort, ya? Terrific! I've been busy but it's already 2 months since my rhino with Dr Hsu and am happy to report all's well. The nose which did diminish a tad between Day7 and Day30 has maintained all the way to Day60. No warp...

Soyabean - you cannot expect him to graft your rib without undergoing GA. It will be a given. You can do local if you use your ear cartilage though.

Wow! Feline, you've been really at it. Sorry, I dropped off a bit. Busy at work and entertaining visitors to our sunny shores lah. Great photos of nice eyes. No, mine definitely needs work, too much skin and/or fat??. Also, one bigger than the other - need some balance. Thus, Cersepn, would like to ...

Whoa!! Better clarify otherwise Dr Hsu will kill me. He NEVER once mentioned you to me. I asked him if there was a Singapore girl when I did my final check up - wanted to pass you the map through him mah. He told me he already passed one to you. I explained that you didn't speak chinese like me and ...

Hey Feline! Good to see you're back in the groove. So glad you had such a good experience in Taiwan. Dr Hsu said you could speak Chinese. Cheh, and there I was thinking you poor thing, how to pass you all I knew from my experience before you go there! Haha... I too wanted to do something with my eye...

You guys realise that the 10% service charge is not sacrosanct. If the service you receive is totally crap, you get the manager to remove it from your bill and refuse to pay it! I've done it and they do remove it albeit disgruntly, but I've made my point. But generally, Singaporean mentality is if I...

I'd Better clarify - I just re-read his email to me. Warping is 5-10% of the time, but because my cartilage was partially calcified, the chances of that warping is 1-5% chance. MG, I sense you're pretty uncertain about this rib cartilage direction. You poor thing. I was very certain I didn't want a ...

MG the scar IS noticeable at the moment. There is some discoloration and I was allergic to the plaster they gave me to use so there's a bad rash around the wound. Tch. When I show it to my friends, they kinda shriek! LOL. Dr Hsu did say it will disappear; we'll see. I'm still corresponding with Dr H...

Alamak, MG! You in dilemma again! Did you write to Dr Hsu - did you ask about the warping; he did say there can be warping. In my case, there was some calcification already so it was unlikely to warp. Younger cartilage may have higher chance - but I say you write and ask how this can be mitigated, i...

Gratz to your surgery 4kix =) IS golf hotel somewhere between the hospital and dr hsu's clinic... since u are doing the surgery at the hospital and probably removed ur stitches at his clinic? Dr Hsu's OWN clinic is outside Kaohsiung. He mentioned about 50km or so away. I only met him at the ENT Cli...

What the hec? You go into surgery thinking all sorts of things one ah? Please don't kill yourself. Eh, I'm being nasty - found this on You Tube - just for you guys : http://youtube.com/watch?v=zcjLfwMhCD4&feature=related Ewe! Could be you! See the ways the septum is cut and shaped... hello?.. uh hel...

I think Dr Hsu will, in due course, put the photos on his site - not sure when. I just compiled the before-after and sent to him leh. I'm kinda nervous sending photos of me around the internet, might end up on some salacious site ... superimposed on a gorgeous bod in a compromising position, quickly...

Hiya - I think feline is right, you should just check with the surgeon on the cost of a surgery that would fit you. I had grossly misaligned figures before I finally got to him and he gave me a quote based on the consultation over the emails. Do that lah - write to the man. The hotels I stayed in: 1...
