Title: DR chettawut VS DR Di Maggio
Post by: mementomori on May 19, 2012, 07:51:07 PM
ive seen a lot of good results from dr di maggio and i know how they peform their procedures / their techniques in detail  but recently i saw a girl on youtube and she still looks very many post op althought they did do a good job on her forehead etc i cant pinpoint what it is that makes her look like this post op , maybe nose too wide ?

whereas with dr chet i dont know much about his techniques at all and have only spoken to a couple of his patients online . although the pictures on his site pretty much are all amazing i like his forehead and how aggressive he is with his rhinoplasties , i havent seen a nose he has done yet that i think he didnt do enough with

* confusion* lol

hi, i had my forehead surgery with dr. Di Maggio in April. Inicialy i was chosing between dr C , dr Z and dr. M . With dr Z i couldnt think we can achive enough results with endoscopic technique, and dr. C i saw him in Bangkok and i think he is competent and his team was king but i just didnt have good feeling at a time about everything especialy dirty Bangkok. When days go by i must say that i am really happy i went with dr. Di Maggio, he is a great guy, and my forehead looks better and better evry day now - he basicaly did exactly what i wanted and the results are still changing to what i want :) - almost 2 month post op now. Also Amanda is very caring and Buenos aires is a beautifull city. go get a biking tour before the surgery - i picked bikingbuenos aires or something and go check El bomba del tiempo in cultural center Konex - every tuesday from 8 - 10pm great performance and very relaxing.... gl with everything...

I have never seen Dr Di Maggio even though he was one of my top choices for my FFS. I think that he does an extraordinary work. Dr Ch is the best doctor I have ever come across. He did my SRS and I didn't have a single complication. Not even a suture dechiscence. All went totally smooth. Perhaps he is one of the best reconstructive surgeons because doing SRS demands excellent reconstructive surgery knowledge. I had a chance to meet in person many of his FFS patients and they all looked perfect. The guy just loves his job and he is a perfectionist. He is very, very good with faces. Bangkok is very dirty but the hospitals are the best hospitals you have ever been to and the care is much better then the one you get in Europe or in USA. I think that they are both very good doctors and whoever you choose you will not make a mistake. See who's approach meets better your expectations from the FFS. I don't know about Dr Di Maggio but Dr Ch will not do unneeded procedure even if you insist and he is totally honest. Kind of doctor you can trust. I wanted him to lift my left eyebrow for 2mm and he refused even though I insisted. He is a rare doctor who doesn't care that much about the money.

What's the list of procedures in the quote, and the price? And, of course, I'm assuming that that's without airfare?

  I am waiting to hear from Dr Di about doing FFS.  I am looking at others as well.  $$$$ is going to be my driving force.
