This is my one-month review after male nasal tip surgery + alar reduction. It was my first cosmetic surgery in my life, so I was half excited and half worried. Actually, I think I may have been more worried The first priority among my needs was naturalness. I even told the director that rather than a big effect that made it obvious I had surgery, I would rather have less of an effect if it meant it wouldn’t look like I had surgery
Since it was my first time getting cosmetic surgery, I had no sense of how much swelling there would be. For the first two weeks, I wasn’t sure whether this was swelling or my changed nose, and I wondered if it was a bit too much, but after a month passed, it turns out it was completely swelling. Once the swelling went down, it naturally settled into place. They say the nose can take more than 3 or 4 months for the fine swelling to go down and to settle, so there’s still a long way to go, but I’m already satisfied
Until the one-month mark, I didn’t make any plans with acquaintances at all. As soon as the one-month limit was lifted, I was curious about their reactions, so I met some acquaintances. Everyone’s reactions were, “Did you do something to your face? Something changed,” and “Something seems different” They were acquaintances I met last year and then met for the first time this year, and they said they could feel a change but didn’t know what it was. That means it’s that natural, so I’m relieved... phew
People are creatures of desire, so for a moment I needlessly thought, if it’s like this, maybe I should have gone a bit stronger, but people around me said this level of reaction is the best. Just enough to feel like something changed! They said that’s the most natural while still getting the effect
Below is the before-and-after comparison. Now I have to wait for it to settle and for the fine swelling to go down, but I’m so curious that waiting feels frustrating
