I had my first nose surgery at another hospital, but because it went wrong, the tip became shorter and the septum became crooked, which even made breathing uncomfortable, so I was under a lot of stress. The appearance was a concern too, but as time passed the functional discomfort felt even bigger, so I decided to get revision surgery. I was worried because it was a revision, but during the consultation at Lowell Plastic Surgery, Director Kim Jae-yoon carefully examined my nose condition and explained the functional aspects in detail, which gave me trust.
I had the silicone removed and underwent revision rhinoplasty with donated rib cartilage, ear cartilage, and functional nose surgery together. Right after surgery, the gauze inside my nose made breathing the hardest, but on day 2 after the gauze was removed, it felt really great to feel my nose open up completely. One week later, after removing the splint and stitches, the major swelling started to go down gradually, and recovery was faster than I expected. The hospital also checked my progress and managed the swelling carefully, so I felt reassured.
Now it has been 3 months, and the major swelling is almost gone while the nose line is settling in naturally. More than anything, breathing has become so much easier that it feels like my quality of life has changed. People around me have also said that my expression looks much softer and I have become naturally prettier, so I think my satisfaction is even higher. Since it was revision surgery, I worried a lot, but now I really think I made the right choice! I also worried about the cost of nose revision surgery, but the amount was exactly the same as in the app and there were no extra charges, so I thought this was it, and I am very satisfied because I am happy with the surgical result too.
