I had nose surgery on January 26. (nasal bridge, crooked nose, hump nose, nose tip) On the day of surgery, the manager explained things kindly and well, and seemed to know the procedure well. On the day of surgery, I met the director, and on the operating table we decided on the nose design and how many millimeters of silicone to use for the bridge, then they put me under sedation for a few minutes during the operation, performed anesthesia on the surgical area, and then woke me up.
Because the surgery was done while I was awake, I could hear the director's voice clearly, which reassured me about the possibility of a substitute surgeon.
If there was any discomfort, I communicated with the director while the surgery continued, and I am now 7 days post-op and love my nose so much that I am looking forward to how it will look once the swelling goes down.
The surgery was expensive, but I think it was worth the price.
