Before <before surgery> After <1 after surgery> After <2 after surgery> It’s been one month since I got revision rhinoplasty this time. Maybe a little over exactly one month? When I was young, I fell from a horizontal bar and broke my nose once. At the time, I thought it was fine, so I just left it alone, you know? I kept thinking that if I’d had proper nose surgery back then, it probably wouldn’t have become crooked like it is now..ㅠ Anyway, because of that, my rhinitis also got worse, and my nasal congestion became severe, so I visited a hospital, had a consultation, and had surgery for a deviated septum once ㅠ Back then, I really didn’t go simply because of the shape, so even though the nasal congestion got a bit better, the crooked part looked even more noticeable.. Especially since I don’t have much fat on my face, people around me would often say things like, “Your nose seems crooked?” ㅠ People who have a complex about their nose like I did will know, but this is really stressful, you know? Even if they say it casually, I already know it myself, so why do they have to point it out like that.. So this time, before seriously preparing for job hunting, I decided I should correct it and made up my mind to get revision surgery! During the consultation, I strongly emphasized that I didn’t want silicone inserted and that I wanted it to look as natural as possible! I had consultations at about 4 places, and while getting nose consultations, I ended up getting functional revision rhinoplasty that addressed both function + aesthetics! At the consultation, they said it could be done without silicone, using only the septum or ear cartilage, so I got revision rhinoplasty! Since it was revision surgery, they said if there wasn’t enough septal material, they could proceed with ear cartilage, but thankfully there must have been enough material, because they proceeded with only septal cartilage (crooked nose correction / hump nose correction / bulbous nose correction / nasal tip) like this! Maybe because it was my second surgery, even when I had cotton packing in my nose, it wasn’t as painful or suffocating as I expected! During surgery too, I fell asleep and woke up, and it was already over, and the pain was less than I expected! Now that it’s been one month since surgery, the pain has gone down a lot, but I still have some swelling.. Well, they say it keeps going down until around 6 months? so I guess I have to wait..ㅠ People around me also say it doesn’t look too obvious and that my impression has become softer, so I feel really good! ㅠ The best part is that no one talks about the crooked nose or hump nose that stressed me out the most anymore ㅋㅋ
