Originally I had almost no bridge and a bulbous nose with a lot of flesh on the nasal tipㅠㅠㅠ But I suddenly got tempted by surgery and went ahead with itㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah, I really don’t know why I had surgeryㅠㅠㅠ
During the first surgery, I raised the bridge with 4 mm silicone, and raised the nasal tip about 5 mm with tip cartilage tying, a septal cartilage strut, ear cartilage, and fat-layer removalㅠㅠㅠ The bridge was raised too much, so my eyes looked close together and there was a shadow at the glabella; my tip already had a lot of flesh and was on the high side, but they raised it completely to make it look thinㅜㅜㅜ It became a completely upturned, traditional “beoseon” nose shape, and after seeing my nose after the first surgery I thought, ah, I really shouldn’t have done this. I suffered so much emotionally and decided on removal I asked the director who operated on me whether everything could be removed, and they said even if everything is removed, it would be hard to go back exactly to my original noseㅜㅜ and that it could collapseㅠㅠ They recommended revision surgery, so I urgently had revision surgery 10 days laterㅠㅠ They lowered the bridge to 2 mm and removed the ear cartilage that had been placed on the tip, lowering it again by 4 mm Thankfully, the second result is much better than the first, but now, about 10 days after the second surgery, I still miss my pre-surgery nose so muchㅜㅜ The pulling in the philtrum from the septal strut and the tight firmness of the nasal tipㅠ Even though it’s 2 mm, it’s raised compared with before, so it’s much less than the first time, but there’s still a glabellar shadow and the eyes looking close togetherㅜ The image change from thatㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ The anxiety about the fact that I had plastic surgeryㅜ. Worries about inflammation from the silicone later on, and so on. I really want to go back to before surgeryㅠㅠㅠㅠ
But what worries me again is that if I remove it and my nose becomes too different from before..... I think that would be really hard. I want to live my whole life without worrying about inflammation and without foreign material inside my nose, but seeing some reviews here saying they became completely ugly after removal makes meㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Right now I really, truly miss my old face, but my current nose isn’t insanely strange. Still, the worries I mentioned above are making things really hardㅜㅜ
Today while having the stitches removed, I had a consultation about removal.ㅜ They said since I already had surgery twice in a row, another surgery would be difficultㅠㅠ They said that after 6 months, if I still want removal, they’ll do it. I asked about contracture, nose lifting, scar tissue, etc., and they said that when removal is done without inflammation, those things absolutely won’t happenㅠㅠㅠㅠ But even so, when I see some people’s posts here, I’m worriedㅠㅠㅠ
If removal would make me return to almost the same as before, of course I’d remove itㅠㅠ. But because surgery has no certainty, I’m anxiousㅠㅠ What if I do it after being told it will definitely go back, but then I end up with an upturned nose and an even lower bridgeㅠㅠㅠㅠ I asked whether they had possibly shaved the bridge during surgery, and they said no, and that it would mostly go back, but I’m anxiousㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I keep thinking maybe trying to go back will just ruin it moreㅠㅠ. But I hate my operated nose tooㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah, I really feel like I’m going crazy these daysㅠㅠ I can’t eat well and worry every dayㅠㅠㅠ I really regret that I should never have had the surgery itselfㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
If I remove the silicone, septal strut, and cartilage tying after 6 months, will everything return to the original?? The doctor did say contracture won’t occur if there is no inflammation, but is that really trueㅠㅠ?
Did you really have no regrets after removalㅠㅠ? What if I trust the doctor and something goes wrongㅠㅠ.....
Removal is also revision surgery, so I’m worriedㅠㅠ I don’t want to touch my nose anymore, but if removal ruins itㅠㅠㅠㅠ What would be better for me to doㅠㅠㅠㅠ? Has anyone who originally had a bulbous nose removed all of the silicone, septal strut, and cartilage tying after 6 monthsㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ? What happened to you??
What should I doㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ? I’m having such a hard time right nowㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
