Hello everyone! It has already been 9 months since my eye and nose surgeries!! It feels like just yesterday that I was sharing monthly updates in the beginning, but time really flies. These days, every time I look in the mirror, everything has settled so naturally that I even wonder whether I really had surgery, and I am extremely satisfied!As you probably know, I had incisional eye revision surgery + eye correction, as well as lateral canthoplasty revision surgery, and for my nose I refined the hump while working on both the bridge and the tip.In fact, my eyes had already been operated on several times. One side was the third surgery, the other side the fourth revision surgery, and because it was done with an incision, I was honestly most worried that the line would stay swollen for too long or leave scars. I used to worry every day while looking in the mirror, thinking the line looked too dark, but now at 9 months the incision scar is barely visible even when I close my eyes, and it has healed so well. The line also settled into exactly the refined, clear feel I wanted, with no distortion and a nice symmetrical shape. My eye shape is now definitely more defined, so makeup is more fun too, and because it was done with an incision I do not have to worry about it loosening, which makes me feel really at ease.Before the revision surgery, people always said I looked sleepy, which I hated, but after the surgery I have not heard that once!I also really love my nose. Before, every time I took a side-profile photo, the prominent hump made my impression look stronger and I was under a lot of stress. Now that the hump has been smoothed out and the line from the bridge to the tip has been connected beautifully, I hear a lot that my overall impression has become much more refined. Especially after passing the 6-month mark, even the remaining swelling disappeared completely, and the tip that used to look slightly blunt from the front now looks clearly slimmer and more elegant. Around 9 months, even the firmness at the tip became much softer than before, and when I make facial expressions it no longer feels tight at all, just like it has always been my nose. There is literally not a single inconvenient point in daily life. People around me also praise it by saying it does not look like I had surgery at all, but instead looks naturally pretty like my original nose, so I really feel that all the time and effort I spent researching was worthwhile.In the first 1 to 3 months, I kept going back and forth between communities and blogs every day because I was anxious about when the swelling would go down and what I would do if the shape drooped, but I think the saying that plastic surgery needs time is truly the truth. Once I passed 6 months and entered the 9-month stage, I felt confident that it would stay like this without any major changes and keep looking pretty!!People say that after plastic surgery the swelling keeps going down until 1 year and that it only fully settles after 1 year and becomes your face, and I think that really is true. It feels slimmer as time goes by, which I like! If there are people like me who are deliberating about a hump nose or eye revision surgery, I hope my review helps you. I had it done at Rise Plastic Surgery near Apgujeong Station, and the director was not the type to do things carelessly; he explained everything I asked about carefully and kept asking whether I had any other questions, so it was nice to be able to ask comfortably. If you have any additional questions about the surgery, leave a comment and I will answer what I can from my own knowledge!
