Before<bulbous nose, chubby..>After after<after surgery>After<I’ll upload one shot..>These days, I’m feeling more and more that even if you don’t necessarily go for a flashy look, if only the parts you felt were complexes are improved, your confidence in your appearance goes up so much...
-spread-out nostril wings -a thick nasal bridge -an uneven nasal bridge -a very blunt nasal tip -a drooping columella
I hated all of these, you know? Why was it so hard to love even one nose of mine? Whenever I saw celebrities or pretty people, all I could see was their noses, and even just going outside, I’d get intimidated for no reason by people who seemed to have prettier noses than me. I just wanted to tear everything apart and fix it.
Honestly, the people around me were all in the mood of telling me not to get rhinoplasty. My mom and dad especially opposed it the most, and they only said it was cute and pretty in a delicate way, but I’m sorry.. what I felt was the complete opposite.. I actually thought my nose shape was a fist-like nose.. After coming to an agreement with my family like that, I decided to get rhinoplasty naturally. (Since it was an expensive surgery and I wasn’t in a situation where I could pay the full amount entirely by myself, my mom agreed to help pay part of it, so I reflected my mom’s opinion too.. haha)
For the clinic, -experience -kindness -cleanliness
I set my standards while thinking about the parts I considered really important in undergoing surgery, and I had surgery at the place I thought fit these the best. I had silicone inserted, donor costal cartilage used for the nasal tip, and even alar base reduction.
Experience: I thought they have to have a lot of experience to perform the surgery itself well. I became confident that when they opened up my nose, even if some difficult situation came up, they’d be able to handle it well, and they’d be able to make the shape pretty and symmetrical. Kindness: Honestly, it’s not like this is a clinic I’ll never come back to after surgery.. If I get my nose done here and like it, then when I want another procedure or surgery, shouldn’t the clinic build some kind of trusting relationship so I can come back to the same clinic? I didn’t want to go to a clinic that just saw me as a way to make money.. I think I felt that for a clinic to be perceived as one that I could continue to get along with after surgery and communicate well with, it had to be kind. Cleanliness: A clean clinic is such an obvious part.. From the lobby, I thought it was a clean place, and even areas like around the water purifier or the tables placed in the waiting area? were so clean.. I could feel that everything used to plan my nasal line was being managed hygienically + even when I entered the operating room, it felt like I couldn’t see a single speck of dust.. I could also feel that the nurses were preparing while thoroughly being aware of the risk of infection.)
Everyone has different standards for choosing a clinic, but after filtering everything out, I considered these three things the most important. If they were honest and conservative with me, gave me “advice” within a safe range while thinking of me, versus rudely forcing materials, forcing reservations... if it felt like they kept emphasizing things that weren’t really necessary, I think I would have wanted to leave without looking back. (That’s how closely I watched their attitude toward me.)
Anyway, it’s been a while since I had rhinoplasty, and I’m very satisfied that even now, it’s holding up well as a natural shape itself without drooping. I’m grateful just that my nasal tip, which used to look spread out, became gathered. I also think it was good that I didn’t try things like procedures and just looked into rhinoplasty right away. Now, whenever people around me discover old photos of me, they immediately tell me I did well getting rhinoplasty and that my nose is really pretty, to the point that they acknowledge the choice I made... haha
