I decided to have my third nose surgery at Cocoline. Before looking for a hospital, I worked hard to research hospitals with the mindset that I absolutely would not fail this time. The hospital I ultimately chose after using various apps, reading surgery reviews, and having in-person consultations was Cocoline. My nose was long and had a parrot-beak feeling, and when I smiled, my philtrum lifted so it looked like a hooked nose. My nasal tip looked very heavy... it was not a bulbous nose, but it was that kind of nose. Director Kim Tae-hwan said the priorities for improving my nose were correcting the long nose, lifting the downward-drooping tip, and correcting the parrot-beak shape. He understood my complaints about my nose very well, and said that during surgery, if the septal cartilage was not sufficient, he might use ear cartilage, but as much as possible he would use septal cartilage. Because I had already experienced my nasal tip dropping over time after two previous surgeries, I personally felt that this alone would not be enough. When I asked about using donated rib cartilage, he said that in cases like silicone or donated rib cartilage there have been reports of later side effects, so he would not recommend it. Of course my nose surgery was for cosmetic purposes, but after repeated surgeries I had become greedy... but thinking that it was right to use safe and harmless materials, I had the surgery at Cocoline. It has now been 2 weeks. I really like the shape of my nose, and it feels perfect right now. I hope it stays exactly like this. Even now, I spend each day worrying that the tip will drop again or that it might return to the way it was. The director told me not to worry because the septal cartilage was very strong and the surgery was done sturdily, so I do feel reassured. I hope it holds up well... and that is the end of my surgery review.
