Before-before-before after-after-after Before surgery, I wondered whether I should do it or not, read lots of reviews, and carefully thought it over while diligently going to consultations. It’s already been one month hehe
I had under-eye fat repositioning before, but I still looked hollow, and I had also corrected my hooked nose, but it stayed the same. Every time I looked in the mirror it bothered me, and people around me also said I looked tired. So I thought, since I’m doing it, I should do both my eyes and nose, and I diligently searched online and went to consultations....
During the consultation, I said I wanted to improve my hollow under-eyes and fierce-looking eyes, and asked about my hooked nose, upturned nasal tip, and nostril wings. They said the under-eyes could improve somewhat with fat grafting and by doing inner canthoplasty to release the epicanthal folds. For the nose, they mentioned shaving down the hump, using ear cartilage for the nasal tip, cartilage binding, and even reducing the vertical length of the nostril wings. They explained mainly the surgical methods I needed, so should I say I trusted them? I booked right away lolololol
Even on the day of surgery, the swelling wasn’t that severe, and for about 3 days it was uncomfortable to breathe through my mouth because of the cotton packing... The pain was tolerable. But maybe because the fat was harvested from my abdomen, it did ache a bit. For a few days, I was even careful about laughing... hehe When I went for follow-up, I liked that they checked everything and disinfected it thoroughly. The doctor first asked about my current condition in a thoughtful way, so I comfortably asked the questions I was curious about hehe They answered kindly, so I felt reassured.
Since I kept taking lots of walks consistently, the swelling definitely went down well. Now the major swelling has gone down too, so it looks natural, and acquaintances say I look lively and that my nose line is pretty, so I feel like I made the right choice having surgery! I gained confidence!!
Oh, this is a useful tip: besides the cold/hot packs I received from the hospital, when you order milk or frozen food online, they give you ice packs too, so don’t throw them away. Reuse them for cold compresses. It’s convenient because you can use several of them. If you’re about to have surgery or are doing cold compresses, keep this in mind hehe
