I had rhinoplasty in my 20s without any related knowledge, and when I reached my 40s, I had to undergo implant removal surgery because of an inflammatory reaction caused by the implant. I had not paid any attention to it for nearly 20 years, but once it started hurting, I searched the internet in my own way. There were 2 reasons I chose this hospital. First, my mother had surgery at this hospital about 20 years before me, and she has been fine up to now. (I had mine done in the past at another hospital in Gangnam.) The second reason was my visit and consultation with the director. Before visiting this hospital, I first visited a plastic surgery clinic located in Gangnam. If that place had flashy facilities and interiors but the people did not feel trustworthy, at this hospital I felt reassured when talking with the staff and the director, so I chose it. To be more honest, the reason I am writing this post is that when I asked the hospital for a discount, the condition for accepting it was to write a surgery review. But now, 7 days after surgery, I remembered the time when I was gloomily searching the internet because of the previous inflammatory reaction, so I am posting this as well. Even when buying an item, I carefully look up reviews, so when I had to have surgery on my face, I felt so lost. Then and now, I chose it simply because my mother had done it first and was fine, without having any information. But while anxiously searching the internet again, I remember getting scared after reading posts saying that the director of this hospital was unfriendly and authoritarian. The director is very calm and serious. I also lack knowledge about plastic surgery and do not really know what is good or what is acceptable. So I am not someone who can write a review saying what this place excels at or what techniques are good. However, when I met the director and received care, I felt that he did not see me as money, but as a person who was in pain. At the time I was having surgery, that was the most important thing to me, and I am also satisfied with the surgical result. I think the postoperative shape was made prettier than the original shape of my nose. At the time of surgery, he said, 'I will make it nicely in line with the shape you originally had.' I remember telling him before surgery, worried, 'My original shape was broad and low. Will it get even lower?' After that he said this and that, but I was so nervous about the surgery ahead that I do not remember what we talked about. Now, 7 days after surgery, the shape has settled well and looks pretty. The nostril wings are not as wide as before, and I think he adjusted them to fit the size of my face. If I want to raise my low nasal bridge as much as I want, I think I would need revision surgery, and I will have the revision at this hospital too. I hope this post can be a reference for people like me who do not have much knowledge and feel anxious.
