I had rhinoplasty about 3 years ago. I liked the initial shape after the splint was removed, but within just a few months the nasal tip dropped, and the nasal dorsum became protruded into a hump-like shape. Also, inside my right nostril, the columella protruded, narrowing the nostril, and I often woke up while sleeping because I couldn’t breathe. So I requested aftercare for that area, and they treated it once with a closed approach, but it didn’t really resolve much, so they treated it once more with a closed approach. It improved compared to before, but the breathing passage is still smaller. If I block my left nostril, air goes “ssaaek” into the right side. It doesn’t go in comfortably. Still, I could consider the hump on the dorsum as natural-looking, and I really liked the nasal tip shape. My nose is small, so I chose the doctor carefully because they specialized in small noses. I liked the tip, it looked natural without obvious signs of surgery, and honestly it was much prettier than my previous nose. Even considering the side effects, I felt that if I went back to the past, I would still get the surgery. After doing my nose, I also heard so many times that I looked pretty. So I decided I would accept it and live with it, but recently the step-off on the nasal dorsum has become worse (I think the nasal tip is drooping more or being absorbed, maybe because it was ear cartilage and septal cartilage?), and it seems like the nasal tip cartilage is showing through in a round shape, so I’m looking into full nasal implant/cartilage removal at another clinic specializing in removal. If I had surgery again, I would choose a different clinic, not this one. There was another clinic that was more expensive and looked better, and I do regret wondering whether things would have been different if I had chosen that place. Also, ah, this is what really pisses me off, and I don’t know if it’s still like this now, but the atmosphere among the operating-room nurses was completely awful. I think there was a junior male nurse, and they were really harsh on him, the facial disinfection was rough, the nose hair removal was brutally forceful, and the operating room was freezing, so I was already trembling, but in those rough hands I became even more upset and scared, wondering what if my surgery went wrong, and I trembled even more. Has the atmosphere improved now? Part of why I can’t go back is because I’m scared to lie down there again. It’s hard to say all hospitals are like that, because I had revision double eyelid surgery at another hospital and LASIK at an ophthalmology clinic, and the atmosphere was fine at both ㅡㅡ Honestly, I want to ask them to cover part of the nasal removal cost, but I’m too scared to go.
