I have a cleft lip and palate, so I had a lot of stress about my appearance ever since I was young.. My nostrils were asymmetrical, the floor of one nostril was sunken, and my nose itself was flat and compressed, so it bothered me even more from the front. Every time I took photos, I would cover my nose or avoid photos altogether, and when other people asked to take pictures, I really hated it. I had surgery once in my senior year of high school, but at that time it was just to slightly raise the nasal tip (using ear cartilage), and I didn’t do the nasal bridge. So as time passed, the nasal tip dropped a lot, and this time I decided to have revision surgery for a prettier shape. And while I was at it, my flat-looking face was also stressful, so I decided to get fat grafting done together haha I did a ton of online research to look for a hospital, and since people said this is different from regular rhinoplasty, among hospitals that can perform cleft lip and palate surgery, I chose the one whose review photos had the nose shape I liked the most. When I booked a consultation and arrived at the hospital, there were really a lot of people, and there were quite a few foreign patients too. During the consultation, the consultant checked everything very thoroughly and didn’t pressure me at all! I saw the director right away too, and when I told him everything I wanted, what I was worried about, and what bothered me the most, he explained everything in so much detail right away, so I decided to have the surgery on the spot. We decided to use autologous costal cartilage and ear cartilage together, and since I’d somehow felt resistant to silicone since I was young, I decided not to put any in. More than anything, the director was really kind, so I trusted him even more, and the nurses were so warm when I went into the operating room. After the surgery, I was shivering because I was so cold, but they kept checking on me and brought me blankets too. I was really touched..
