For the three procedures which include nose repair, brow lifting, and fat filling under the eyes, the costs are quite fantastic.

"Yeah, around 500 or so. Because it's three, three procedures. I did my nose, forehead, and under the eyes because I looked hollow, so I added fat," Rafael explained.

Such a sum of money certainly doesn't come easily. The man, who is also active as a content creator, admitted that he had saved for quite a long time to realize his desire for comfort at work. For him, this procedure is an important necessity. He also shared his struggles in gathering the funds.

Furthermore, Rafael views this surgery as a form of long-term investment for his appearance. According to him, surgical procedures are much more effective and efficient compared to other treatments like fillers or Botox, which need to be repeated periodically. He also compares the advantages of surgery with non-surgical treatments. He feels this is a more economical choice for the long term.

"Yes, that's right. So actually, there are now many treatments that don't need to be, 'Why bother with surgery, when there are fillers, Botox, and so on.' But that will actually cost more because, if you consider Botox or fillers, the timeframe is like a year before you need a touch-up again," he explained.

Unlike fillers that need to be retouched every year, the results from plastic surgery can last longer. He emphasizes that his decision has been made after careful consideration of costs and benefits. He also explains the duration of the results from his surgery.

"For this surgery, the duration is long, it can even be up to 10 years before you can, you can touch up again," he said.
