Hi, I'm back. I lost my password, and verification was such a hassle that I kept putting it off, but I finally came back after a year I have all my old posts, so please use them as reference (Gore-Tex removed and tied with dissolvable thread). I got a promo message on KakaoTalk from ㄹㅅ, and when I saw that ㄱㅇㅅ had opened a clinic in Gangnam, I was surprised and suddenly thought of this community, so I came looking for it (I didn't get my surgery from ㄱㅇㅅ; I had it done at ㅅㅅㅇ). Since it's been about 1 year and 3 months, I figured no one would suspect this was a promo post, so I thought it would be fine to share where I had the surgery now It was hard replying to comments all that time. I haven't been reading posts here, so honestly I don't even know which hospitals are the current hot spots. Just think of me as a clueless old-timer whose clock stopped a year ago and read along. To get to the point, I still feel like I'm in a contraction phase. It can be despairing, but I still have that sensation. Maybe I'm a special case, but that's how it is for me. At first I was scared of either contracture or deformation, so I didn't even look closely in the mirror and didn't take side-profile progress photos. There was no inflammation and no redness, and because real life was exhausting, I just chose to look the other way and live on. But as you can see from the photos, there's not much difference from a year ago (the left is the current one!). And recently I even started using a nose clip, you know, the thing for water ballet that squeezes the nose together? I hadn't even tried it because my nose felt so hard (?), but now I can do it. I'm still living with fear that my nose might get pulled up, but still, life goes on. Still, the conclusion is that I'm satisfied, and so far I'm living without any major issues. I just want to keep living like this with nothing happening, like my original nose!!! I only hope that everyone who worries like I did can resolve things safely without anything major happening. Sorry for the typos, I couldn't revise it ^^
