It has already been 2 months since surgery haha Time really flies~~~ I posted at the 1-month mark last time, and I came back to share the progress in celebration of the remaining swelling going down! The early recovery was a little hard because I had eyes and nose done together, but now that 2 months have passed, what I think is that even if it was hard, I am glad I went through it all at once haha I guess that is how I should put it? haha
I have always hated very flashy results that screamed plastic surgery, and I wanted something absolutely natural. For my eyes, I wanted a not-too-exaggerated in-out fold! For my nose, I wanted a clean straight-then-slightly-curved line without too much curve... Especially the long nose tip that dropped down like an arrow nose, plus the bulbous nose that made the center of my face look heavy and rough, were my complexes. Improving those parts was my biggest goal!!
During the consultation, Director Choo seemed like he had entered my head and understood exactly the look I was going for. For the eyes, he planned incisional-type fixation and ptosis correction, and for the nose, he said he would slightly refine the hump, raise the bridge by 4 mm, and lift the tip! He used donated rib cartilage, septal cartilage, and ear cartilage at the nose tip, and had to lift the hanging columella and correct both the bulbous nose and the arrow nose, so I think the director probably had a rough time during surgery T_T
Anyway, now that more of the residual swelling has gone down than at the 1-month mark, the lines are clearly settling~~ Because the eyes were done with a nonincisional method, I thought even at 1 month the swelling had already gone down a lot, but at 2 months they really just feel like my own eyes haha The line is not too thick at all, and it has settled into a clean in-out fold, so even when I go bare-faced it does not look surgical and it feels natural~~ As for the nose, up until the 1-month mark I still had a prickly feeling at the tip, so I was a little cautious, but by 2 months that prickly sensation has mostly gone away! And the long, blunt tip that worried me the most has lifted neatly, and the shaved hump looks smooth, so the whole vibe feels much more refined than before?? haha It really seems like it was the right choice to do the eyes and nose together instead of separately... If I had done them separately, I would have definitely felt something was missing.. Still, at 2 months, the lines seem to be settling nicely, so that is a relief lol
