I'm a 28-year-old man who used to have an extremely short upturned nose. In 2010, my friends started getting rhinoplasty one by one, and since I had a complex about my nose, I knew nothing, just went to a clinic by myself, got taken advantage of, paid a huge rip-off price, and had my first rhinoplasty. Anyway, the shape was better than before, so I lived satisfied with it, but I have very severe rhinitis and sinusitis, so whenever the seasons change, I tend to keep touching my nose, and at some point, should I say my nose became even shorter and blunter? The shape had changed dramatically when I compared it to the beginning after surgery..
So before it got any later, I decided on revision surgery and had it on 4/28. I had consultations at 6-7 places including the clinic where I had surgery, and every director said the same thing: my skin is thick, and since I was born with a short nasal length, it would be difficult to make a masculine-looking right-angled nose..ㅠㅠ Still, I thought it couldn't be worse than doing nothing, so I had the surgery.
They said they would use costal cartilage to lower it as much as possible, and if there was even a little space left and it was possible, they talked about slightly raising the nasal bridge more. Finally, yesterday, Monday 5/8, I had the nasal splint removed. Whether looking at myself in the mirror, taking photos, or meeting acquaintances, they said there wasn't much difference. I feel that way too. It's not an unskilled clinic, and whenever I went for treatment, the director always came by and checked, even briefly, so it's a good clinic, but I guess my nose is just really hopeless.
I had the splint removed yesterday, and already I'm wondering if I need a third revision surgery, and even in my dreams I'm dreaming about redoing my nose. I'm going crazy.. Because of this, I think it becomes an addiction.
At first, I couldn't understand review posts saying not to get nose surgery... but as of today, I understand. Since I've already done it, I need to try my best to prevent contracture.
