My recovery was not smooth sailing because the left scar kept bleeding

Breast Implants

I had my breast augmentation in August 2018. During consultations, Dr Karlo told me that most patients regret not going bigger but I still stuck with what I had in mind even if he didn't have sizers. Come surgery time, he mentioned that it's a bit pointless to get a boob job if it's not noticeable but he still chose a modestly sized implant around 285cc. I didn't really want noticeable breasts but thought that size would help achieve the look I wanted. My recovery was not smooth sailing because the left scar kept bleeding. I also noticed my left boob fluffed later than my right one. Eventually, it bottomed out and sat lower than my right boob making bending over very uncomfortable as I feel the edge of the implant dig in my skin. Moreover, my scars are in the lower middle part of my boobs and are visible which makes me self conscious especially in saunas and when getting massages. I did have a revision in August 2019 with him to address the bottom of out. Paid additional 15,000 for it but it still had the same results. Its 2020 and my left boob sunk back to its previous level. Got a second opinion and was told the breast pocket might have been carved out lower than it should have been given my body size.All in all, I paid around 3300 USD exclusive of the maintenance meds. The upside is Dr Karlo is very responsive when you message him but now I have to do another surgery to get smaller implants, make sure they're even and have the scar much lower than they currently sit.

My new nose boosts my confidence

Rhinoplasty, Alarplasty

Getting a nose job was very scary thing for me. I knew my face would be different so I made sure to talk with my Doctor about how it would change, we discussed changes both with the front view & from my profile. I love my new nose! I have seen a lot of noses that look unnatural. It was wide & it has hump before so I decided to have a Rhinoplasty and Alarplasty from a Board Certified Aesthetic Surgeon. I was lucky enough (and dedicated enough to do research!), to have a Great Doctor and now a Great Result. Thank you for boosting my confidence! I will definitely recommend him to any of my family and friends or to anyone that may be considering cosmetic surgery.

Rhinoplasty

Dr. Karlo Capellan is one of the best surgeon I've ever seen. I would highly recommend his expertise in the fields of surgery. I was once his client of Rhino plasty surgery. Since from the very beginning up to the end of my surgery it was smoothly well done. I was so happy with the result. Thank you so much Dr. Capellan. You're one of a kind and a good example to all Doctor. Eventhough surgery was done you still concern and addressed all our needs. The price I paid is less, more than what you've done. It was highly appreciated. Once again, Thank you so much Dr.Capellan. It was such a good experienced to have you as my surgeon. Hope to see you next time ??
