First of all, I’ve opened my nose three times in the past two weeks... The reason I’m writing this is because I want to repay even a little of the kindness to the doctor who made my nose comfortable and saved it. For two weeks I suffered emotionally, and it was really hard. Worrying about whether the red nose meant an infection is not something a person should have to go through And if I were a broker or making exaggerated ads, may I receive all the punishment in the world. Two weeks ago I had my third nose surgery of my life at a well-known place (I’m not going to mention where or what surgery and process were involved for now, because I haven’t heard the previous hospital’s side yet. Even if you ask, I can’t answer.) The problem was that starting one week after surgery, the tip of my nose turned red. The hospital said it was because the skin had become weak, so that was normal. But the red area spread up to the right side of the bridge? The hospital said that since I had surgery without an implant, inflammation couldn’t happen, so I didn’t have to take the medicine, but they prescribed antibiotics anyway so I could feel at ease just in case. But after taking the antibiotics, the redness subsided right away. Seeing that, my older sister, who is a healthcare professional, said it looked like inflammation and that something was strange, and she scolded me hard, saying to remove everything immediately before I regretted being late about what was inside my nose... I wondered where I should go. I had lost trust in the hospital that did the surgery, so I contacted BB in Suwon, which is famous for autologous dermis (an influencer doctor had once said this place was the best for autologous dermis, but I had passed because it was far; distance really mattered?). I urgently had my nose opened again, and they said there was something like that at the spot where the bridge had turned red. They said there were signs of inflammation in that area and that it was good I removed it. But I really wonder why it was in that location..... sigh....... And when I said my nose felt tight and uncomfortable, they also adjusted the septal extension, and amazingly, from that day on my nose felt comfortable.... Ah right, this is how my nose was supposed to feel? Ah... this doctor is the real deal, I completely felt it there...... After the removal and two or three days, the redness disappeared completely. I became grateful for everything. There is a hospital cafe, and people who had surgery there call him Doctor J, and now I know why (they’ve run the cafe for over 10 years and there are really a lot of posts about reviews and questions, which means they fully open communication. This isn’t easy unless you’re pretty confident, right? There are many hospitals that go silent after surgery). Right now the removal is done and I’m at the stage of a third surgery where only the nose tip was slightly raised with autologous dermis (how does it feel to have been on the operating table three times in just two weeks?). I still have swelling, so I can’t be sure, but I think the line looks pretty. For now, my nose doesn’t feel tight and it feels comfortable. If you want to live with a comfortable nose, I recommend this doctor. Even if it’s not autologous dermis, he is really good at removals. But don’t expect a super modern interior like the clinics in Apgujeong. Go only for the 36 years of experience of the plastic surgeon.
