Before before after after 20 years ago and 15 years ago, I had surgery twice using only silicone and lived like that. But the part where the silicone, which had only been placed in the nasal bridge, ended (the middle of my nose) developed a step-off, and the nasal tip started sinking more severely, so I began looking into revision surgeryㅡ
The areas I wanted improved were 1. the step-off 2. the hump 3. the nasal tip
But as I started looking into many places, I found myself forgetting the essence of why I wanted surgery and getting tempted by flashy results. There were too many hospitals, and the consultations with doctors were all so different that it was really hard to know what was rightㅡ Also, most reviews were by younger people, so I think I worried a lot about what kind of surgery would be right for someone middle-aged like me and what would suit my face. Then I spent a lot of time looking through this community, got a lot of advice and help from someone here, and was recommended Mint, so I went for a consultationㅡ At the first consultation, they said there wouldn’t be a big change, and it was also more expensive than other places, so I was hesitant. But when I thought it over carefully again, considering the real reason I wanted revision surgery, they said the step-off could be improved, and after feeling my hump, they recognized that when it had been shaved before, it was like the top of a mountain had been cut straight off, so I trusted themㅡ Also, I didn’t want to use donated rib cartilage, autologous costal cartilage, autologous dermis, and so on. Since I had never used ear cartilage before, I was okay with using up to ear cartilage, and I liked that approach. But I even found out after surgery that they didn’t use ear cartilage either. They said septal cartilage alone was enough. At other hospitals, they had naturally told me to use ear cartilage and even rib cartilageㅡ
Anyway, after the surgery, even very close friends only noticed after I told them, and most people don’t really notice and just ask if I lost weight. If I had made it extremely flashy at this age, it would have looked really funnyㅡ
