First, I had revision surgery at this hospital 9 months ago,,, I wanted improvement of my dragon nose, a lowered starting point, and a natural straight-to-slightly-curved nasal bridge line with the nasal tip; I asked them to pay special attention to the dragon-nose correction so my nostrils wouldn’t show from the front,,, During my first surgery at another hospital, they only put mesh in the nasal tip and didn’t use cartilage, so this was the first time using septal cartilage & ear cartilage, plus skin grafting from the armpit area and adding artificial dermis, so it was a fairly big operation,,, For the first 3 months, the front and side views came out very natural, but the graft on the left nasal ala became bumpy, and even after getting a scar-tissue injection in the meantime, there was still a step-off like an indentation, so they agreed to touch it up during the AS by adding more skin grafting. On top of that, after 3 months, my nasal tip gradually got lower and the drooping of the nasal tip became severe Also, compared with the photos, the nasal bridge looked crooked in real life, and I could feel the cartilage at the end, and it showed through. Even though I have a small nose, my nose looked long, making me look much older than my age. I was like, can a nose droop this much in less than a year? I got anxious and visited the hospital again after 9 months, before the 1-year free AS period passed,,, haha The consultant recommended full revision surgery through an open approach and autologous costal cartilage, and asked for an additional fee. They said there would also be an extra fee if ear cartilage was used. They said because nasal ala skin grafting also had to be done, the material costs were unavoidable,, and they additionally recommended various skin procedures. I said I would think about which material to use for the revision, and on the day of the revision surgery I consulted with the director. They said my nose looked crooked because my facial skeleton itself is crooked, and if they aligned it, my mouth would look shifted; they said touching only the nasal tip with ear cartilage through a closed approach, without touching the nasal bridge, would be enough. I thought, oh, if it’s closed and they use the same ear cartilage, the result probably won’t change much, and because I was worried it would droop quickly again, I asked them to fix the arrow-like drooping nasal tip, raise the tip, and make it a bit shorter. I thought it would be completed as the natural straight-to-slightly-curved nose we had planned during the first surgery, without a big change. After surgery, since there was no splint on, I saw the result and honestly,,, ha It had become an upturned nose, and the nasal tip was blunt like a pig nose and extremely short,,, I thought it must be swelling and that it would be okay once it went down a bit, so I waited a month. From the front it’s an upturned nose, I can feel a step-off between the nasal bridge and tip, and it’s hard and tight like a ping-pong ball was put in there,, my original nose was slim, so it’s not just an image change, I look like a different person These are photos at week 8 currently, and from the front it still looks lifted, with an upturned-nose feel, and as the swelling goes down, the step-off and the nasal tip look like the length was abruptly cut off and only the height was forcefully raised, making it a blunt shape,,, Ha,,, what should I do? It’s the same doctor, but I never imagined the result could be this different, and now I’m almost 2 months post-op; even if there’s still swelling, this shape really makes no sense,,, My original nose was slim and high-defined, so I don’t understand how it became this blunt shape,,, Maybe because it’s revision surgery and scar tissue formed? Even when I ask them to give me an injection, they say scar-tissue injection treatment is possible at 3 months and revision surgery from 6 months onward,,,, I’m so depressed I can’t even go outside, and I go around wearing a mask in summer. How does it look to you? At this level, it’s the doctor’s responsibility, right,,,

유야유 After my first surgery, I kept living with my nasal tip in that kind of state People kept saying I had a bulbous nose;

유야유 [@고고맘] Mine was my first surgery, and about 8 years passed with it exactly like that; now I’m about to get revision… Mine stayed the same..
고고맘 [@유야유] Ha,,, so it’s not swelling after all It’s been 2 months My nose was so small and slim, I never imagined this kind of result,,,
유야유 [@고고맘] My natural nose was thin too and had no bulbous-nose feel at all. If anything, people used to ask if I’d had surgery I tried to shave down the hump and raise the nasal tip a bit, but ended up getting a bulbous nose.. I’m on the skinny side, but a friend told me that since my nasal tip got plump, I looked fortunate and it looked good Paying money to get a bulbous nose. There’s no definition point at the nasal tip..
고고맘 [@유야유] Even after my revision, it was slim, and if anything, from below my nasal tip was on the pointy side, so I never thought my nose would become blunt at all What on earth did they do during surgery? Maybe scar tissue formed. It is swollen white on the inside, so I’m planning to get a scar-tissue injection at 3 months
자유로움여행 How about going to another hospital for a consultation???? My friend got nasal revision surgery at Private and became really pretty But for a second revision or consultation, you really have to be extremely, extremely careful...

gasdafgasd The after looks better though?
고고맘 [@gasdafgasd] Ha Thank you for saying that, it makes me feel relieved. Maybe it looks strange because there’s still plenty of swelling Maybe it’s because the nasal tip changed and my image changed too much I’m still not sure
뚝딱뚝딱이 Is the bottom one before, and the top photo after even the revision??
고고맘 [@뚝딱뚝딱이] Yeah, the bottom photo is before, and the top photo is after only the nasal tip was revised again.
뚝딱뚝딱이 [@고고맘] Since it was a closed approach, maybe ear cartilage was added on top of the existing material, so the nasal tip got a bit bulky??? But I think it looks fine. A round nasal tip gives a youthful image..

duatpwnd My nasal tip has dropped too, so I’m looking into revision surgery, and this is upsetting..
고고맘 [@duatpwnd] You always have to be careful with revision surgery,,, You need to know exactly what your needs are and even Photoshop it on your own face and bring it in for it to come out at least somewhat to your liking,,, Don’t speak vaguely like me and let it go off track,,,
김구르빈 Huh??? The after looks so pretty though?? It also seems like the indented nostril wing improved! My natural nose had a round, step-off feeling like the after, but my first surgery ruined it, so I asked 4 times to please turn it back, and it still couldn’t go back.
김구르빈 [@김구르빈] You call it a step-off, but that actually makes it prettier Honestly, it’s so pretty that I want to ask for the info.. After doing it 4 times myself, I realized that even if it’s the worst for me, it could be someone else’s dream nose. It’s plenty pretty!!
고고맘 [@김구르빈] Ha,,, thanks. Actually, as the swelling is gradually going down, it’s becoming more natural. The lifted look from the front and the blunt look are improving too Still, I think the point became too short, so it needs to come down more
