I had upper blepharoplasty, ptosis correction, and rhinoplasty using septal cartilage at the clinic. To be honest, I was looking into plastic surgery clinics more for rhinoplasty than for my eyes. Since I already had a fairly defined nasal bridge, my goal was not so much cosmetic, but rather to slightly raise the bridge to give a clearer impression from a physiognomic standpoint and because I run a business. While receiving a consultation about rhinoplasty, I thought that since I would be under general anesthesia anyway, I might as well have surgery on my sagging eyes due to aging and also get ptosis correction to make my uneven eyes more balanced. There are many plastic surgery clinics around Sinnonhyeon, so I had a lot to think about. My mother watched the director’s YouTube videos on behalf of me, since I was busy, and recommended the clinic. During the consultation with the director, he honestly told me that my nose was already pretty, so I did not necessarily need surgery. He also explained the possible side effects after surgery in detail, which made me trust him more. After thinking it over, I decided to have surgery at the clinic. It has now been 4 months since surgery, and I am in my 5th month. As the swelling has gone down, many people around me have said I look more refined than before, and I have also heard a lot that my face looks slimmer now that my nasal bridge is higher. On the first day after surgery, I could not breathe through my nose because of the cotton placed inside it, so I had to breathe through my mouth, and my throat became dry, so I had to keep drinking water. Once the cotton inside my nose was removed, I felt much better. Until the bruising on my face faded, I worked from home, and when I had urgent appointments, I wore concealer makeup, a mask, and glasses when going out. I was told light exercise was good too, so I walked for exercise, and I think that helped the swelling go down more. My body tends to swell easily, so the swelling completely went down in the second month after surgery, and now I have no problems at all in daily life. The surgery suited my goal of creating the clearer impression I had in mind, and I am satisfied because the surgery went well without side effects. For people who are older like me and are debating whether to have surgery, I recommend giving it a try instead of thinking, “I’ll just live like this.”
