I went for a consultation at a hospital that’s really famous for specializing in revision rhinoplasty. But that doctor said that everyone who has had nose surgery will later, when they become elderly, have sagging skin, so whether it’s silicone or autologous cartilage at the nasal tip, it will show through, and they’ll eventually come back to have it all removed. I went for the consultation because I wanted this to be the last surgery of my life.. As far as I knew, as long as there are no silicone-related complications only (contracture, deviation, etc.), I heard there would be no problems until death. And regarding skin sagging, I’d heard there are people who get nose surgery even in their 60s. I had been living with that understanding, but hearing a famous doctor say that made me confused. Is it really true that everyone who has had nose surgery, when they get old, has to remove everything again because it shows through due to skin sagging? For people over 60, are noses with silicone implants okay without showing through? Or if anyone here knows whether a family member around your mom’s or dad’s age who had nose surgery is doing okay, could you let me know?
빨깡나비 If I heard that during a consultation, I feel like I’d hesitate even if I had been about to do it
오렌지좋아 [@빨깡나비] Yeah, I think it’s good that he tells you about possible complications, but since he said everyone becomes like that after surgery, it’s confusing.
살고파 If a lot is inserted, it probably can sag, but if there’s no pain or inflammation, wouldn’t people just live with it?
돈사임당 I hadn’t thought about it that way, but now that I hear it, I do think it could happen..
크크cwcw My uncle is 50, and he said he had silicone, ear cartilage, and septal cartilage done 17 years ago. But his nose is still really pretty now…
오렌지좋아 [@크크cwcw] Thanks for letting me know.
Gkska Where is it that they’re so conscientious??
오렌지좋아 [@Gkska] The feeling I got during the consultation that day was that rather than being conscientious, it seemed like he didn’t really want to operate on my nose. I went and asked at another hospital, and there were things he said that weren’t correct too.. I realized that just because a doctor is famous doesn’t mean everything he says is right. As expected, you really have to go to consultations at several places.
Gkska [@오렌지좋아] I see....... As expected, the more consultations you go to, the better.
갬소 Could I possibly know which hospital it is,,, I want to get a consultation about contracture
hanyo If you make it too high, is that not naturally what happens???? Like when you look at Hollywood actors who had breast augmentation, later all their skin sags and only the silicone shape is clearly visible.. If it is made excessively high, it would probably be hard for the shape to stay the same, right..? I have been worried about my nose for a few years, so I asked the dermatologist I often go to, and they said every body part has a tendency to return to its original state, like how teeth go right back if you do not wear a retainer after orthodontic treatment. In the case of the nose, if you make it too high, eventually, as time passes, side effects are bound to happen in some form. They also said that even if the primary surgery is fine, if you get revision surgery again because of the shape, the same area is traumatized again and inflammation can suddenly flare up. I do not remember the details, but they said fillers can also swell or have a bigger inflammatory reaction if injected into the same area multiple times.. They said even if you think, 'Is it a bit low?' after the first surgery, you should be satisfied with a moderate height and plan to maintain it to the end. They said easily getting revision surgery because of the shape, and then having contracture suddenly flare up during revision or a second revision, all happens because the nerves keep getting compressed..
오렌지좋아 [@갬소] Sorry, it is a hospital I do not want to recommend.
오렌지좋아 [@hanyo] That really hits home specifically. Thank you.
