After four revision surgeries, my nose was a disaster. The first was filler, the second was silicone, and the third and fourth were rib cartilage. My nose had been ruined beyond repair by two rib-cartilage surgeries. The shape was extremely crooked, and because it was rib cartilage, it was extremely hard, and I couldn’t breathe through one nostril. After that, I joined a ton of Naver cafes and searched, and I think I consulted at nearly 20 places. A few places told me that no ordinary doctor would touch my nose and that they couldn’t operate on it. Then those doctors recommended Director Baek Moo-hyeon, who is famous for reconstruction. When I came home and searched the cafe, I saw a lot of posts saying he does things naturally but pulls the nose out too long. At that point, I only wanted a crooked-nose correction, easier breathing, and a nose that could move a little. I didn’t have huge ambitions. In the end, I booked Director Baek Moo-hyeon, set a surgery date, and had the surgery in August 2013. I wrote down all the problems with my nose and all the parts I wanted fixed, printed them out, and taped them to the glass in the operating room before surgery. It was a method I hadn’t seen elsewhere. In the end, the surgery went well, I can breathe well, my crooked nose was corrected, and now my nose moves well enough that I can even do the pig nose gesture. It’s been 7 years now, and the dermis hasn’t gone away and is still there, breathing is still good, and I’m spending such happy days. He’s the benefactor of my life. I heard he retired, and I’m so disappointed. What I liked about this clinic was that it didn’t feel like a business. Even after surgery, the director personally checked my progress. I think I spent over 20 million won on my nose alone ㅜㅠ In conclusion, what I want to say is: never get silicone or rib cartilage. You will absolutely need revision surgery. If you want to decide, use your own dermis and make it natural. If you get too greedy, you don’t know how many surgeries it will take. That’s my experience.

I’m a man, and my nose used to have a slight hump, but it wasn’t high and was small, so it didn’t have a masculine feel, and it didn’t really look handsome either. This time, I had surgery with Director Kim Ji-hoon at Ppeulli Plastic Surger
