As the title says, I’ve had nose surgery more than 3 times,,,, and now I’m just living with the surgery costs andㅠㅠ side effects. My first surgery was when I was 19. Back then, my nose had no bridge, and it was like a hamster nose? with wide alar bases. I was young too. At that time, I didn’t know about online communities, so I just had it done at a clinic I found while searching on Naver. But now that clinic has become a really big clinic. It went badly, so I won’t say the clinic name,,, At first, they used silicone and ear cartilage,,, From the first surgery, the shape was strange,,, and I had pain in my nose, so I had it redone at the same clinic using septal cartilage, but I was still dissatisfied with the nose shape,,, It was just a nose with a very slightly higher bridge than my old nose? I lived like that and then had revision surgery again, and this one also went badly,, This clinic had pretty good reviews in online communities, but I don’t know whether they were brokers or whether I just had bad luck with surgery. I thought there was septal cartilage left, so this time we planned to use silicone and ear cartilage,,, But once I went into the operating room, they found that the previous clinic had completely used up the septal cartilage, so there was no surgical material, and there was no choice but to urgently... have the surgery with autologous costal cartilage. I really want to go back to that time,, I wish I hadn’t done itㅠㅠㅠ After the surgery was all over, extra costs were added,,, sigh. The shape just felt a little better than before, but after one month my nose shape changed,, so I had another revision with Gore-Tex and have been living like this. I really need to look into another revision nowㅠㅠ I’m worried because I’m afraid it’ll fail again. Nose surgery has become scary to me. For now, what I want to tell people who think they might use autologous costal cartilage or donated rib cartilage is that first, it’s extremely hard,, Honestly, breathing is not comfortable, and the area where the autologous costal cartilage was harvested sometimes hurts,, It’s hard to sleep lying straight on my back. Please think carefully about clinics that say they’ll use autologous costal cartilage from the beginningㅠㅠ!
