Primary surgery at 22 The next year, the tip of my nose dropped, so I had a second surgery at the same hospital. The doctor had terrible aesthetic sense, so I should have gone somewhere else, but I knew nothing and they said they'd do aftercare, so I just snapped it up. There was no inflammation, but over time my nose gradually developed contracture and from the front my nostrils started to show, turning into a pig nose. I didn't even know it was contracture, and I lived with it for 4 years thinking maybe my nose shape changed because I slept on my side. After getting a job, a colleague I got close to said, "You're really pretty, you'd just be fine if you fixed your nose," and I was shocked, so I went to a large hospital in Gangnam for a third surgery. Only then did I realize that my nose had developed contracture, and it had become a "Pinocchio" nose shape with silicone + cartilage + septal cartilage + donated rib cartilage all stuffed in. At some point the glabella area started swelling more and more, and it felt soft, like blood had pooled there, and when I lay on my side I got a sensation of blood rushing there? When I rushed to the hospital, they said inflammation had developed. I went in and out of the hospital for months like it was my own home and got the inflammation under control... but with the anxiety that it could happen again at any time, I now want to take everything out. Contracture? Shrinkage? I'm not afraid. It will be much better than living with a time bomb attached inside my nose and being anxious about when it will explode! I'm ready to bring my tired, tired rhinoplasty journey to an end now.

I had the surgery 15 years ago, and it is still fine. It's just that as I got older, wrinkles started to form in the implant area between my forehead and the silicone, so I'm wondering what should be used to correct it. I think I need to…
