I had surgery a long time ago, and for a bulbous nose I had an external incision. They say the scar will fade over time, but I spent a lot of money on laser treatment to make it fade... Of course, it shows unless you put on heavy makeup. I had revision surgery while removing the silicone because of inflammation, and the nose shape itself became natural, and since I didn’t have high expectations to begin with, I’m more or less satisfied, but because it is ultimately a method that exposes the skin of the nose and stitches it, when I smile a vertical line shows. I have quite a lot of nose flesh, so that may be why, but most people with a bulbous nose who consider external-incision surgery probably have a lot of tissue too. So when you smile widely, the flesh moves, but the vertical line goes straight along the incision and suture line. It’s become much more natural now, so it’s not to the point that I feel a lot of stress even without makeup, but it took about 3 years to get to that point. It seems like a surgery for people who are stressed enough to accept that, or who aren’t very sensitive, or who have let go of some of their expectations. Making an incision in the exact center of the nose and leaving a scar is not an easy decision, but in the end it’s not something that bothers me much, and I don’t think a bulbous nose would have improved this much without the external incision method. The doctor didn’t feel very professional in consultation.... I remember it as more of a yes-man kind of consultation where he seemed just nice, but he was a good person.

The first place you meet at a hospital is the front desk, and they were really rude. On the other hand, the doctor was kind, answered everything even though I had a lot of questions, and seemed very confident in the surgery. But I like…

At another clinic, when I was young, I didn't think deeply about nose surgery and just looked at the shape, so I had L-shaped silicone inserted. It would have been fine if there were no problems, but unfortunately my nose was small and my…
