To start with the conclusion, my current nose line is settling in exactly the way I wanted! The swelling has gone down a lot compared with the beginning, and I can see the line becoming more natural little by little, so I’ve been feeling very comfortable lately. What I wanted was not a nose that was just made dramatically higher, but a natural style that harmonizes with my face, and it has settled beautifully in exactly that direction. The biggest reason I even considered surgery was that my nose was naturally low, so the bridge was sunken in and my face had no depth at all. Every time I looked in the mirror, my bridge looked so low that it felt flat, and that was always a complex of mine. On top of that, the nostrils were wide and the tip of my nose was round too, so the whole thing gave a rough impression, which was the biggest source of stress! So rather than blindly making it higher and more flashy, my goal was to refine the bridge line slimly while creating a shape that also lifted the tip in a harmonious way. When I went to consultations, I focused on places that carefully looked at what nose line would suit my facial proportions best, rather than just recommending a simple increase in height! Then I met Director Choo Seong-cheol at D-Day Plastic Surgery and talked through my concerns, and the direction I had pictured in my head became much clearer. What makes me think I chose rib cartilage for my nose surgery was how naturally the tip line was shaped. At first, the tip felt firm and a little unlike my own nose, but as time passed it gradually softened and settled naturally! And the tip shape is not unnaturally sharp, but instead gives a soft, supple drop like my original nose, so it feels good to the touch and seems even better than I expected. Because the line from the bridge to the tip flows so smoothly and softly, I’ve been able to take photos lately without being picky about angles, and they come out well without any embarrassment. From the front, the nostrils and tip that used to look spread out have tightened up completely, so the overall impression looks much clearer, and that makes me happy. Now that I’m two months into recovery after nose surgery, every time I look in the mirror I keep thinking I’m really glad I had it done. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wish I had stopped worrying sooner and gone ahead with it even one day earlier.
