<Front><Side (same on left and right)>Early after surgery, the tip of my nose turned red like Rudolph, so I was really stressed... When I went to the hospital where I had the surgery, they said it wasn’t inflammation and that it would get better with time. After about a year and a half, the redness became a little less frequent (though it still sometimes gets red and then settles down repeatedly). I could accept the redness, but from around 6 months, when the swelling went down, I started to see a slight indentation in the space between the silicone implant and the nasal septum. The hospital said it was just a wrinkle..? (A wrinkle that wasn’t there before surgery suddenly? And on the nasal bridge?...) Now, in my 4th year, it’s completely sunken in and I can see a long horizontal line It’s visible even just looking in the mirror.... It’s not just slightly indented; the space between the silicone implant and the nasal septum is sunken horizontally all the way from end to end, so anyone can tell I have a complication I’d rather just live with it if possible, but it’s so severe that I think I’ll have to get surgery... Even in photos it shows so clearly, but it looks so unsightly that I just can’t bring myself to upload them. Has anyone here had something like this? In cases like this, do I need full removal, or do I need revision surgery..? I need to look into hospitals, but I have no idea whether I should mainly look for hospitals that are good at full removal or hospitals that are good at revision surgery If anyone has had a case like mine, please share your experience or recommend a hospital... I’m so distressed... Some people were curious about the photos, so I’m adding them. (Sorry for the blackhead jumpscare)
Reader 1 That's me! I've been like this for about 13 years, and I think the step appeared after orthodontic treatment. The tip of my nose also dropped. I also had silicone and septum surgery, and even when I touch it by hand, it feels sunken, and I can see the horizontal line too, so I'm totally fed up with my looksㅡㅡ I went for a revision consultation, and on the CT they said the nasal bridge flesh is thick, so that could be part of the reason too. I'm completely stressed out But the hospital I want to go to said 100% improvement might be difficult. That wasn't what the doctor said; I asked the manager again by KakaoTalk after the consultation. So I'm wondering if I should go back to the hospital
Reader 2 [@으딩이] You too, Eudingi It must be so stressful, really to the point that you don't even want to look in the mirror.... Have you only been to one consultation hospital? Could you tell me why you want to go with that hospital?

Reader 4 This is a private post.
Reader 5 This is a private post.
Reader 6 This is a private post.
Reader 7 I think I heard that they just fill the step in a little with filler... Did you get a consultation at the original clinic you went to?
Reader 8 [@Hongsi] I don't want to go back to the original clinic There are several side effects... And even when I talked about it right after the surgery, they acted like it wasn't a side effect (but in the end it's clearly something anyone can see as a side effect like this)... I want to go to a completely different clinic
Reader 9 I can’t tell from the photo whether it’s a side effect step or just a preexisting nose wrinkle that became more noticeable after raising the bridge
Reader 10 [@어아미] I do have old photos, but the quality is so bad They don't really feel like a real-life image, so it feels like it wouldn't matter whether I upload them or not. I only have current photos....
Reader 11 If it's just an uneven step, revision surgery should be simple.
Reader 12 [@콕짘] Really? I really hope so
Reader 13 Maybe that hospital didn't even admit the step difference at first... I had a step difference too, and I went back within a year and got aftercare
Reader 14 [@뭅비] What did they say the cause was? Did you also have silicone and the septum done like me? Is there no problem now?
Reader 15 [@Mubvi] I’m curious too
Reader 16 .. I hope you can get a simple, quick revision surgery and recover soon! If you're going to a clinic anyway, make sure to research it carefully!!
Reader 17 [@Monggu-gom] Thanks For revision surgery, I really need to choose very carefully...
Reader 18 I really have to choose carefully
Reader 19 I really need to be careful too
Reader 20 Is it because you did it without implants? Or did you put in silicone too..??
Reader 21 It had silicone in it.....
Reader 22 This is a private post.
Reader 23 [@Jurejure] I attached the photos
Reader 24 This is a private post.
Reader 25 [@Be confident] Are you going to have it removed at the hospital where you had the surgery?
Reader 26 This is really heartbreaking
Reader 27 Wow... I'm worried about getting a step deformity too
Reader 28 That sounds so stressful, maybe try getting a consultation at another place first..
Reader 29 I think this would be so stressful.
Reader 30 Wow.. that's so upsetting

Reader 36 Wow... I thought it was done without implants, but I didn't know a step could happen even with silicone... That's so upsetting...
Reader 37 I thought only no-implant cases could get a step..
Reader 38 So even with silicone surgery, a step-off can happen...

Reader 45 The left side looks thicker from the front, so it seems to be bending because of the step-off.
Reader 46 Oh wow, once a step-off happens...
Reader 47 What did the hospital that did the surgery say? Is revision surgery the only way to fill in the step?
Reader 48 [@Mongdolmongdolsi] The hospital where I had the surgery said it was just a wrinkle when I brought it up at the 6-month mark, before it got this bad; but in the end, as time passed, it became a deep horizontal indentation that anyone could see... So I ended up not going back to that hospital for a consultation...
Reader 49 Wow, that must be so stressful..
Reader 50 I thought mine was a step deformity too, so I went to a clinic to look into revision surgery, but it wasn't a step deformity.. it was that the silicone had moved, and if the silicone moves, you have to get revision surgery anyway) So I had revision surgery...
Reader 51 [@금치] Actually, I originally wanted to fill it with filler, but I’d also heard filler can be bad for your face later on, and the doctor scolded me hard, saying this isn’t something that can be solved by just adding filler, so I ended up getting revision surgery
Reader 52 [@Gold coin] Did you have the revision surgery at the original hospital? Is it improved now?
Reader 53 [@빠마] No, I looked into revision surgery from scratch, and I really spent a lot of money to fix everything that had not been done well before, like the nostrils, and now I’m satisfied and living well.

Reader 57 Ohh... the step deformity I’m worried about it too
Reader 58 How did you deal with it?
Reader 59 [@바늬에] The previous hospital had too many problems from the very beginning after surgery, so I went there several times, but they kept talking like it was nothing, so I'm not going back there and I'm going to look for another hospital.......

Reader 76 That step/depression must be really stressful
Reader 77 This is a secret post.
Reader 78 This is a private post.
Reader 79 I also lived with a step/depression for over 10 years and got revision surgery this time~ Once a step forms, the nose gradually gets longer In the end, I guess you just can’t stand it yourself The doctors say it doesn’t matter.. If it doesn’t stress you out, I’d just live with it
Reader 80 This is a private post.
Reader 81 I'm so sorry you're going through this
Reader 82 I got a step-like indentation too.. so I’m not the only one.. It’s been 2 years since the surgery..
Reader 83 [@Mink older sister] You’re not planning on a revision surgery? Did you use silicone?
Reader 84 Are you planning to get revision surgery?
Reader 85 [@Borini] Yeah, I think I probably have to get it done I want to just live with it if possible, but...
Reader 86 Oh no Are you still having the same issue now?
Reader 87 [@TrimiShia] It’s becoming more and more noticeable
Reader 88 This is a private post.
Reader 89 I'm not sure about the side view, but if you look closely at the front too, I wouldn't have noticed. I only realized it after looking two or three times, like, oh, that's what they mean there?
Reader 90 I hope things get better after the revision surgery
Reader 91 This is a private post.
Reader 92 It does kind of look that way. Are you thinking about revision surgery? Or are you going to have it removed?
Reader 93 [@wjdqh58] I don’t know what the cause is If revision surgery is possible, I want to do that, and if not, I’ll have it removed.... That’s why I don’t know which hospital to go to I don’t know whether I should look for a clinic that specializes in revision surgery or one that specializes in removal..
Reader 94 This is a private post.
Reader 95 That stress must be insane Nose surgery really seems like... a surgery with a lot of side effects...
Reader 96 You must have had a really hard time mentally..
Reader 97 Oh wow, it's been about a year for me too and there's a slight uneven step, so I thought that could happen,, I'm just going to live with it because I'm too lazy
Reader 98 I have a little bit of a step too, but I lived without even realizing it was a step.
Reader 99 Oh no You must be having such a hard time emotionally
Reader 100 Was it closed rhinoplasty? I have that now too, and I even developed a hump, with a dip on the bridge and a protrusion on the bridge
떡볶이조와 But if that’s scar tissue, they do say it goes down.. At least that’s what the director who did mine said.. I’m waiting too

렌태식 But your nose seems slightly deviated to the left..
빠마 [@Rentaesik] It does seem like that too I should go for a consultation....

사이다다 I also suddenly developed a step-off, so I’m worrying about it^^;;

히잇히히 It seems like the silicone implant is warped, and the step-off at the nasal tip seems to be the end of the silicone implant..

귤콩 You must be going through so much stress Stay strong, you..
퍼런파랑새 Stay strong. It will be resolved well.
이프다 Could you message me what material was used and where you had it done? Please let me know.
달빛한스푼 About 10 years ago, I had something like a horizontal dimple on the nose area... So I had a third revision surgery, and now 10 years have passed. Now my nostrils show, and they said if the silicone near the glabella moves, that’s a complication? So I’m planning to get revision rhinoplasty within this year.. Go quickly and get that revised.
빈반빈반 Stay strong. I hope it gets resolved well..
하킥키 Mine is a bit similar too, so I’m also looking into revision surgery..
밈님닉 Oh no, what should you do… In cases like that, almost everyone gets revision surgery.
제우스입니다 I’m in my 4th year too, and I’m in the exact same situation right now.. A step-off formed, a horizontal line appeared, and the hospital says it’s because of scar tissue, but after living fine and then suddenly having this happen.. I’m not sure that makes sense
ppp1234123… It looks like it may be slightly crooked, so I think you should go in for a consultation
코대요 Stay strong.. Once the swelling goes down completely, it might look okay.
핑코핑 You must be going through so much emotionally,, In the photos, it really does look like your nose is slightly crooked
혀니이잉이 Could you possibly give me info on where you had it done?
미니쓔 Oh my, you must have gone through so much emotionally Maybe this is why everyone says getting your nose done can make you obsess over it
Lonasal Ah You must be going through so much emotionally, really
더여너어여연 Oh my god Even after time passes that’s so upsetting
빠지직 You must be going through a lot emotionally. Hang in there
다미다미10 You’ve really gone through a lot emotionally. Let’s hang in there together
파파존스핏자 Is the nasal bridge silicone and the nose tip autologous cartilage?
빠마 [@PapaJohnsPizza Yeah... septal cartilage
파파존스핏자 [@Ppama] Even if you have removal, don’t remove the autologous cartilage from the nose tip If it was used to lengthen the nose, removing it will immediately make you have an upturned nose It looks better not to have silicone I also had pulling, inflammation, and pain because of silicone, so I had it removed
