I had silicone 3.5 mm + septal support strut + septal cartilage grafting on top. Time goes by fast. I can’t believe it’s already day 10. Even until this Monday, when I took the taping off, it was so swollen that I looked like a big-nosed person, but now, whew, it has gone down enough that it looks like an ordinary person’s bulbous nose and I can go around without a mask. Still, it is still very swollen and puffy.
After removal, no matter how much I looked like a big-nosed person, even if my side profile looked like an upturned nose, even if the front view looked slightly like a pig nose, I have not regretted removing it even once.
I only regret why I had the first surgery... With that money, I could have gotten my hair done somewhere expensive, gotten nose filler, worked out, gotten skin care, bought cosmetics, bought clothes. I could have done all of that......ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Those are the thoughts I have... If anything, it really became a chance to think about how pretty my old face was.
When I see celebrities on TV whose nose surgery turned out well, or people in the subway whose nose surgery turned out well, I think, “If only mine had turned out naturally too, I would have become that pretty,” but then when I think about getting married later, having a baby, and the baby bumping into my nose, I feel like I did well to remove it now.
The shape that many people will be curious about: My very original nose at first was like Shin Min-a’s nose, or Kim Soo-hyun’s (male celebrity) nose. There was almost nothing between the eyebrows, but the nasal bridge and nasal tip were still moderately present? Not high, more like a cute nose, should I say.
After surgery... it was like celebrity Kim So-eun’s nose. My mom used to say whenever she watched TV, “There’s a girl on TV with the exact same nose as you.” ㅜㅜ That nose suits Ms. Kim So-eun, but everyone, imagine Kim So-eun’s nose on Shin Min-a’s face... sigh... it really did not suit me ㅠㅠ I lived with mental distress for 3 months and then removed it.
Now, from the front, my image is already 100% back. And the front-view shape has become a bit like Aoi Yu? A pig-like bulbous nose. While removing the septal support strut, I don’t know if muscle tissue was torn away together with the strut, but my columella used to protrude thickly like Kim Soo-hyun’s, and now, a bit like Aoi Yu’s nose, the middle of the nose near the columella, how should I put it, looks sunken? ㅜㅜ It changed into that kind of bulbous pig nose. And the nasal tip has also become blunt. This will gradually get better with time, I guess... And the side profile is getting smaller while keeping the shape from the nose surgery.
I’m leaving this review because I know how hard it is for people who are thinking about removal right now. If I can, I’ll keep leaving updates monthly going forward ㅠ For those who really feel they absolutely cannot live with this nose, remove it~ I really even developed symptoms like panic disorder. After removing it, every time I look in the mirror I still regret ever having the first surgery, but because I look so~~~~ much better than with the previous operated nose, I end up smiling. Everyone, please become happy soon!
