<I think the nasal tip angle, the rounded look, everything turned out pretty and harmonious with my face><Nose surgery history> 2009_First nose surgery (used silicone and ear cartilage). For about 10 years, I lived with it feeling reasonably satisfied functionally and aesthetically. May 2020_Nose revision surgery (silicone replacement, used septal cartilage). My columella was already a bit droopy, like an arrow-shaped nose, but as I got older, I felt the nasal tip was dropping more and more, and I often heard that my nose was big and high compared with my face... so I had a revision to lift the columella and make the nose a bit smaller? refined. November 2021_Second nose revision surgery (silicone replacement, used ear cartilage). After the second nose surgery, the silicone was inserted too short, so the bridge silicone showed through/one nostril was too visible/my face looked overall flat... and this kept stressing me outㅠㅠ In the end, I had my third nose surgery.
<Reasons for choosing the hospital for my third nose surgery> From when I started considering a third surgery, I did a huge amount of online research and in-person consultations (I went for consultations whenever I could at at least 15 plastic surgery clinics around Gangnam, Seoul). In conclusion, when choosing the hospital, 1. Whether they did not recommend materials such as autologous costal cartilage/donated rib cartilage/Gore-Tex/AlloDerm/mesh 2. Whether the director's aesthetic standards matched my own 3. The director's experience and reputation I worked hard researching online and visiting clinics, organized everything, and finally chose the hospital. ---> The reason I chose K-Plus Kim Se Young Plastic Surgery was that, even though it was my third surgery, they said they would use only silicone/ear cartilage, and during the consultation, the director examined my overall face and symmetry very meticulously, so I felt confident that the nose problems would definitely be corrected while still becoming naturally prettier.
<Nose third surgery and treatment process> Right before entering the operating room, the director designed my nose (you can express the design you want). The surgical method used silicone for the nasal bridge + ear cartilage for the nasal tip, and only the right side had nostril lowering (surgery time was about 3 hours. It was done under local anesthesia.) From the day right after surgery until the day stitches were removed 9 days later, the director personally treated me every day (except for about one day). The director checked my condition every day, and personally looked carefully at the disinfection and taping too, so (since it was a revision, I had many worries) I felt reassured.
<Current nose condition> Since it was a revision, there is swelling overall in the nose and slight bruising on the bridge, but I think the surgery went well according to the design. My face and nose had especially severe left-right asymmetry, and I think the director paid close attention to the left-right balance. The columella, which had been noticeably crooked before surgery, was also straightened, and the right nostril that had stressed me out also came down naturally.
