I had rhinoplasty at a clinic in Gangnam 4 years ago I had it done twice with silicone for the nasal bridge and autologous cartilage for the nasal tip The reason I had it twice was
Maybe because I’m sensitive, I swelled up so much...ㅠ I had bruising all the way down to my face and neck, so they gave me bruise injections and swelling injections, but even after the swelling went down, the nasal tip had completely collapsed
The director was the first to suggest a second surgery, so I had it again after 6 months This time, since they knew I was sensitive, they gave me medication and injections in advance from the first day, but I still swelled a bit, and after the swelling went down, it wasn’t as high as the director had wantedㅠ But I liked it, so I just said it was fineㅎ
No one around me knows I had rhinoplasty... Actually, if you see the before and after, the difference is huge My nasal skin is thick, so they raised it a lot, but maybe because they made the line pretty too, it looked naturalㅎ People around me think I was just born with a pretty nose.. For the reference photo, I brought a celebrity L.H.R.’s nose photoㅋㅋㅋㅋ It didn’t turn out that high, but I think they raised it as much as possible while keeping it natural
It was raised about 6 mm? At first, when I went to a few places, other doctors said that because my nose was low, wide, and a large bulbous nose.. (But honestly, having a low nose wasn’t a complex for me haha... I just did it kind of unexpectedly because my parents said they’d pay for it, but I’m really scared, so if I had looked into it myself, I probably couldn’t have done it after reading complication reviewsㅠ) They said it was a difficult nose and they weren’t confident... Someone recommended this clinic, saying they were good, so I went there I’m satisfied with the aftercare tooㅎ
After 4 years? Honestly, if I stay up for several nights, bump my nose somewhere, or wear glasses all day long, my nose feels stiff and hurtsㅠ
If I had to name downsides of rhinoplasty
Blackheads get seriously worseㅠ These days it’s better because I get pore care, but at first I wore heavy makeup because of the blackheadsㅠ
And I think rhinitis gets worse tooㅠ... I already had rhinitis, but it got worse... I think I heard that even people who didn’t have it before developed it
The inconvenience of not being able to rub your nose hard like a pig nose?
Other than that, appearance-wise, I honestly really like itㅎ I’m satisfied
When I do contour shading for photos, it’s seriously no joke...
And something I don’t recommend? I don’t think it’s good to have sleep/general anesthesia more than twice within a year... I was someone who had a lot to study... That year, while studying, for about a year my concentration dropped, and I thought, “Have I already gotten dumb?” It did resolve over time, but...
Back then it was a bitㅠㅠ I thought it was because of the sleep anesthesia, so I felt depressed
My nasal bridge is actually much higher, but it doesn’t show in the photo, so that’s a shameㅠ They wanted to make the nasal tip sharper and higher, but my body absorbed it all...
