About 7 to 8 years ago, I tried Hi-Coo once, and after that I kept thinking that I wanted to solve everything in one go with surgery rather than any more procedures. I wanted to have surgery without silicone if possible, with no implant at all, but every consultation ended with them saying that would not work. They said my nasal bridge was simply too low, and that there were limits with a no-implant approach, so I came to accept my nose as it was.
I had the surgery at [Clinic A], and Dr. Lee seemed to have a deep understanding of my nose. I also liked that he explained everything about the materials from start to finish in detail, so that helped me decide. In the end, I used silicone, plus septal cartilage, donated rib cartilage, and ear cartilage mixed together.
I wanted surgery centered on correcting the tip, and it seems the surgeon reflected my opinion well. The wide-looking nostrils and blunt tip became slim. The difference from the front is especially big, so I am even more satisfied. I am really glad I had the surgery since the bulbous-nose correction was done properly. I thought recovery would be long since I also had a functional nasal procedure at the same time, but I was able to handle daily life after the splint came off. Breathing already feels a bit easier, and they said it will get even easier from here. I hope everything settles in well.
