I’m from out of town, so I had surgery today and I’m planning to get checked tomorrow before going back. I was bored at the lodging, so instead of a surgery review, I’m writing about my second consultation. What I felt during the second consultations was this: I went back for a second consultation with the three major doctors all twice. But all three gave different plans at the first and second consultations. What is this.. I got even more confused. A clinic: If the support isn’t put in, it will definitely droop. The director at the hospital where I had surgery today said there was no way that would happen, very firmly, but now after surgery it hasn’t drooped at all. B clinic: They looked with ultrasound and also checked my ear, and said not much ear cartilage had been taken. But when I looked at what was removed today, it was three layers of ear cartilage.. At the first consultation, they said to just lay silicone in. At the second consultation, they said on their own that it’s a nose that can be removed, so don’t put in silicone. C clinic: My natural nose had a somewhat sunken columella. At the first consultation, they said to slightly adjust the angle using my existing septum and just supplement the sunken columella. At the second consultation, they said they would supplement the columella with ear cartilage. That’s why it felt even harder to decide. The strange thing about people is that the hospital I had surgery at today was the place where, during the first consultation, my daughter was so upset she burst into tears, and I personally didn’t feel very drawn to it either, but I ended up having surgery there. Actually, even at the second consultation, I wasn’t especially attracted to it. But my daughter had a point that drew her in. Now that I’ve written it out, it doesn’t seem all that helpful either. A lot of people say every place has bad reviews. I think that’s true. You have to filter things at a reasonable level and decide based on what matters most to you. I was really shaken after seeing negative posts about this hospital the day before surgery. There were even people in the comments posting negative reviews too.. What I felt during the consultations is that whether it’s the first surgery, revision, or removal, it seems important to know exactly what you want. Let’s all be free from noses~~
