I had my first nose surgery at the end of last February..
Because I work in a field where I take a lot of photos of my face(?), nasal asymmetry was my biggest stress point ̑̈
I also had bad rhinitis, so since I was going to have surgery anyway, I got both functional nose surgery and cosmetic nose surgery..
They shaved down the hump, and I did not want silicone, but they said if the hump was shaved down the bridge would not look smooth, so they said to use the lowest silicone, and I did. For the tip, they used septal cartilage to raise it.
For about the first 3 months, I was so satisfied. The residual swelling at the tip actually made my nose look higher..
But little by little, my nose started to become crooked, and the large scar tissue inside my nose just would not go away.. Even when I contacted the hospital, they only told me it was swelling and to wait..
Also, the consultation and surgery progressed so quickly, but after the follow-up appointment it became so hard to see the doctor,, during follow-ups I had to wait at the hospital for at least an hour, and since the hospital is right in front of me, I think they called me at least 3 times asking whether I could change the appointment time. (But I am really curious about this. Is it like this at other hospitals too?)
Anyway, I just kept living while constantly stressed by the crooked nose and the scar tissue inside my nose, and then in November the bridge of my nose suddenly swelled a lot.
At first I thought it was just a pimple and left it alone, but it turned out to be silicone inflammation, sigh...
I got a prescription from the hospital and took antibiotics for a week, and it went down a bit, but I do not think it is fully cured yet. It is still swollen ̑̈
Even though I keep telling the hospital, the doctor is always busy, and if I keep getting prescriptions it gets expensive,, (a week’s supply is almost 40,000 won) I just want to take the silicone out and get revision surgery at another hospital, but I do not have the money for revision surgery...........
I am so, so stressed,, There is nowhere else to talk about it, so I am posting here,,
