I was thinking I should leave a review around the one-month mark, but it looks like there are a lot of reviews from the same plastic surgery clinic at the same time, almost as if it were planned? haha I also remember spending days unable to sleep while digging through reviews, so I'm leaving this in hopes it helps someone. I live overseas, so I only had about a month and a half, and as soon as I came to Korea I did a full round of consultations and chose the hospital. If you read my previous post, you'll know the review that led me to decide! 1. Day of surgery The first floor of the hospital was under construction, and the noise on the way up was really bad. As soon as I went in, I remember telling the manager that the noise might keep the surgeon from concentrating.. haha My surgery was at 2 p.m. I woke up around 5:30, and I wasn't in pain. I live in Gyeonggi-do, so I thought I'd have to take a taxi home after it was done, but I felt so good that I went home by subway (1 hour 30 minutes). 2. Recovery after surgery ㅅㅅㅇ doesn't have anything fancy like oxygen therapy or swelling lasers haha The doctor really emphasized that for one month I had to rest well, eat well, and sleep well. I also thought that was the most important thing, so I honestly ate more, slept more, laughed more, and deliberately rested more than usual. It really seems like immune-system care is crucial!!! After surgery, just trust the process, eat well, and get plenty of sleep. Until the 2-week mark I took photos every day and compared them, but after that I didn't really pay attention and just went out to meet friends. 3. Nose shape I only removed everything except the septal support. People I met yesterday after a long time said they would never have known if I hadn't told them, and when I told them, they said it seemed a bit more gentle? I also really, really like my round nose now. In fact, I've already gotten used to this face again, so I can't even remember my old pointed nose. I'm leaving the country the week after next, and next week I'll go in for the one-month checkup. At first I thought it seemed like such a neighborhood clinic, The doctor seemed blunt and low-energy, and he was really active on Naver Knowledge iN haha, so I worried maybe he didn't have patients...? (Even when I went to get my stitches removed, there was still the Naver window open haha) But I'm an older woman who's lived abroad for a long time and has two kids, so maybe because I'm tired of people who dress things up and make them sound bigger than they are, I trusted the way he was plain, not exaggerated, and only told me the things that could actually be done. It's only been one month, so I'm being careful, but because I know how desperate that feeling is, I think my review can help someone else too! Everything will really work out for everyone!!
