I had revision rhinoplasty at the end of last year It cost almost 10 million won For the bridge I got silicone, and for the nasal tip they used ear cartilage and dermis from my buttocks
The surgeon was very confident about the surgery and said things like he had a technique that only a few people in Korea, including himself, could do, so I got tempted and had the surgery. But around 5 months after surgery, my nasal tip suddenly started swelling I immediately sent photos to the clinic and asked, and they said it was folliculitis. They told me to apply medicine and rest well, saying it can happen when you’re tired
But for almost a month, my nasal tip has been swollen like in the photo The clinic said there isn’t any other implant in the nasal tip and it’s all autologous tissue, so it’s not inflammation from the surgery, it’s folliculitis, and that it can happen if hair roots were included in the buttock dermis… I trusted them and held out, but once it went past a month, the swelling at the nasal tip got even worse And in the meantime I took antibiotics for about 10 days too, but it didn’t get better I felt something was off, so I asked if this was really folliculitis because it wasn’t healing, and asked them to check again. They said they could make an incision inside the nose and check, so I should come in I had been trusting them, but I saw a case that seemed similar to mine, though the area was different, and that person had it done at the same clinic and they responded the same way But that person’s nose was…. I seriously felt my heart drop What should I do, seriously I don’t know if I should go to a university hospital or go back there, I feel like I’m going crazy Has anyone had a similar case to mine? What did you do??
