I had the silicone removed on Thursday I did it at the hospital where I had the original surgery and only paid 300,000 won for anesthesia
I had the surgery 6 years ago, and it turned out well There were no side effects There was very slight cartilage show-through, but no one knew, and it was only to the extent that I could feel it if I touched it myself
I think I went to consultations at about 7 hospitals They all said there were no side effects and, honestly, it was a nose that really didn’t need revision surgery But I really wanted to have it removed
I had 1.5 mm of silicone placed and used ear cartilage They said they didn’t use much ear cartilage either Just a little was used There wasn’t a big change from my previous nose Rather, it was only very uncomfortable in daily life And the fact that I had plastic surgery was extremely stressful If there had been a change, maybe, but how could I tell anyone I had plastic surgery when even my own older brother, who had lived with me for over 20 years and seen me all that time, didn’t know I had surgery on this nose? My previous nose wasn’t ugly either; it was small and cute... The surgery I decided on lightly because everyone else was doing it and I felt like I had to as well was a major stress for 6 years I had days when I felt depressed, wondering why I couldn’t love my own face
But I’m going abroad to study soon and don’t know when I’ll come back to Korea, so I really decided very suddenly It was done under sedation, and they said the surgery took less than 10 minutes (the nurse told me the surgery time after it was over) I left the ear cartilage as it was. It was done with a closed approach
It’s day 3 now, and there is almost no swelling I had almost no swelling from the first day My mom and dad looked and said it seemed a little swollen I didn’t have tape applied either I don’t know if it’s right not to put tape on ㅠㅠ Everyone else seems to use it, so I’m a bit worried
My nose already feels tight. Is this the contraction period? I’m scared again that the contraction period might come, sob sob
If I could really go back to six years ago, I want to stop my past self and tell myself not to do it
