Even when I got on the operating table, I was so scared and nervous and it didn't feel real, wondering what I was even doing. I still feel that way now, but it's starting to feel real to some extent. I had a very low, wide nose and got ear cartilage for the implant. But is it supposed to not hurt this much?? Even during the surgery, when I was lying there knowing they'd take ear cartilage with local anesthesia, I kept asking if they could just do it with sedation anesthesia instead. The anesthesia injection hurt less than I expected, and if I had to pick the most painful part, it was the antibiotic shot in my butt. When they took the ear cartilage, I could hear all the sounds, so it was a bit unpleasant, but it didn't hurt, and it seemed like the doctor was deliberately talking with the nurses the whole time! lol So if I focused on the sound of that conversation, the uncomfortable sounds in my ear were tolerable to some extent. Why did the sedation anesthesia feel like it barely worked!! I wanted to sleep, but I truly couldn't sleep at all, so I finished the surgery with my eyes wide open..ㅠㅠ Do a lot of people not sleep as well?ㅠㅠ My alcohol tolerance is two bottles, so maybe I said one bottle and they gave me a little less. They say everyone starts counting numbers and then falls asleep, but for me, this was just... As for pain, I think the evening after surgery is usually the time when pain is at its worst, but my nose just throbs, the ear cartilage throbs too and only gets a little painful sometimes. Today at the hospital they helped me breathe through my nose right away! So I almost don't have the pain of being unable to breathe. And my mouth not opening!! I can open it just fine, so why is that? The moment I got home after surgery, I devoured chicken for dinner. I really don't know whether the surgery went well or what. The symptoms I saw in online reviews are barely there for me, or not there at all.. Before surgery, the mental suffering was really intense, but once the surgery actually started, it was truly easy. Even during the surgery I was thinking, why was I trembling over something this easy?? ... things like that...ㅋㅋ Is that why people get addicted to plastic surgery? All that's left now is to be careful so there aren't any side effects. My face is still like a nine-tailed fox's younger sibling, though (I became a nine-tailed fox, not an avatar..ㅋㅋ) But even though the tip of my nose is still in the period when swelling is supposed to be at its worst, if it already looks low, won't it look even lower once the swelling goes down? The doctor said the whole area is still swollen so it will look higher, but my chin sticks out like a Westerner's. My chin doesn't really seem swollen at all, but compared with my chin, my nose still looks low..ㅠㅠ Will it really turn out the way the doctor said??
