People who are seriously considering revision rhinoplasty will know what I mean. When contracture sets in and the nose gets shorter, looking in the mirror becomes stressful (damn). I also went through a lot of emotional turmoil while looking into revision surgery because my first surgery, which I had done years ago without knowing anything, made my nose gradually turn up and shorten. For the first surgery, all I remember is that silicone was put in the bridge, and I do not even remember what material was used for the tip. It feels like I just went anywhere and had it done. As time went by, I could clearly see my nose turning up more and getting shorter, and that place would not even do aftercare, so I went crazy visiting clinics to find a properly good place from scratch. I really felt like if this failed, that would be the end, so I only looked for a director who was skilled and specialized in 'contracted nose' and 'short nose'. Then I learned about Director Hwang Sehui at ID Plastic Surgery, and after the consultation I felt this was it, so I booked right away. It has only been about a month since the surgery, but I really have to admit Director Hwang has magic hands. The swelling is not fully gone yet, so I still need to wait a bit longer, but compared with how my nose was before, the current result feels like a miracle T_T What I am most satisfied with is that the nostrils are less visible from the front. Before, the tip was turned up so you could see the nostrils clearly, but now the line has come down completely, so it looks much more stable. The side view is also natural and pretty, so every time I look in the mirror I am amazed myself lol. I really wonder if the before-and-after difference can change this dramatically. There will probably be many people worrying about revision rhinoplasty, and especially for contracted or short noses, I really think going to an experienced director is the answer. Of course a pretty line matters, but first it seems most important to find someone who can firmly solve the functional problem. I really succeeded with revision surgery, and these days my quality of life has skyrocketed..
