I had a low nasal bridge and a bulbous nose that was broad overall, so my face looked very flat, which was a huge source of stress for me. When I decided to get rhinoplasty this time, the exact style I wanted was a refined straight-to-slightly-curved line with a defined, pretty nasal tip—exactly Winter's nose! I live in Yangsan, South Gyeongsang Province, so it takes over three hours to get to Seoul. I narrowed down the options again and again to places I really liked and that had good consultation reviews before going for consultations. My final consultation was at [Clinic A]. Just as I had seen in reviews, [Doctor A] designed the line very well to suit my facial proportions and carefully explained the surgical plan to reflect the look I wanted as much as possible. I would have been disappointed if the consultation had ended quickly and I had gone all the way back to Yangsan, but it was very thorough and long, so I had no regrets. I immediately trusted what I heard and booked the surgery right after the consultation~!
Because I also had osteotomy, I had quite a lot of bruising at first, but it gradually faded with time. The scar on the rib where the costal cartilage was harvested has become very faint now too.
Once the swelling went down, it came out as the clean straight-to-slightly-curved line I wanted, so I am really proud! My formerly flat-looking face has gained dimension too... The trouble of traveling such a long distance back and forth feels completely forgotten, lol. At around one month, people around me keep asking where I had my nose done, lol. When I look at my pre-op photos, I can also feel that my overall image has changed a lot.
It was 200% worth traveling from Yangsan to Seoul!! I hope this was at least a little helpful to anyone looking into rhinoplasty~!
