Hi, today is day 8 after my revision rhinoplasty, and I had the nasal packing and columella stitches removed. Maybe it’s because it’s still swollen, but the columella is slightly crooked, and from the front it looks asymmetrical. Will this correct itself? My right nostril had become smaller before, maybe because of contracture, so it was uncomfortable to breathe and really stressful.. What does everyone think? Will it even out, this unevenness..
뚜두뚜루1 Even if it’s swelling, it seems like there is some asymmetry
살려줘 [@뚜두뚜루1] They did put packing in the right side of my nose, but will it not correct?
마지막성공 Whoa, that doesn’t look like swelling??! Ask the clinic
살려줘 [@마지막성공] They said it was swelling.. For now, they put packing on the right side to try to make it symmetrical
뚜두뚜루1 Can you make it symmetrical with packing?
살려줘 [@뚜두뚜루1] They said they put the packing in so it wouldn’t get smaller
ififififiy If it were areas a bit far apart, like the eyes, I could somewhat understand each side swelling differently, but nostrils are right next to each other. Can the swelling difference really be this big,,,(?) I think you should get a detailed consultation about what kind of aftercare or revision they can provide if it doesn’t correct!,
살려줘 [@ififififiy] Ha... so in the end it’s revision surgery again
라랄 When the columella is crooked, it stays asymmetrical even after the swelling goes down..
살려줘 [@] Ha.. the doctor said it was all swelling, but it looks like it failed again . Sigh.... They said they would provide aftercare/revision, but will doing it again even make a difference?
모가모가 Won't the swelling go down?
살려줘 [@모가모가] Most people say that even after the swelling goes down, the columella stays the same
냔니냔냔 This seems kind of severe.. With a crooked columella, there are cases where it looks crooked because it's a bit swollen and cases where it's just crooked, but this seems like.. the latter. And did the nostril get much smaller because of the contracture..? It didn't get smaller from this surgery, right? Then it could be because of the pulling force on the nostril.. If so, even if you do revision surgery right away after this, the result might not be very good
oTmTo [@냔니냔냔] I already had contracture, so it was in a very small state, and this time the surgery was supposed to make the nostrils symmetric... Today the director did say he would prescribe contracture medication..
냔니냔냔 [@oTmTo] Oh no.. Since they said they'll put cotton in anyway, try asking about this too.. There is something called a retainer, a nostril correction device.... Some clinics use it, and I was also told by my clinic to use it to press down scar tissue and hold the nostril shape, so I've used one before.... The principle is the same as cotton, but I thought it might feel a bit less stuffy..
살려줘 [@냔니냔냔] Before removing the cotton, there was some kind of plastic? correction device and cotton inserted together for 7 days. I wonder if I can use another correction device. Wouldn't that mean I can't apply ointment? I have to apply ointment. And right now it looks so much like an upturned nose.. I feel like I'm going to mentally spiral. I asked them to make sure my nostrils didn't show too much... You said the surgery went well, doctor...

살려줘 [@owata] My natural nose originally barely had any difference It was asymmetric, but I had it done at a local clinic without knowing anything and it failed, so I went to Seoul and had it done, but they completely ruined my nose. So I had it done at this clinic, and at first the nostrils were symmetric, but as time passed, contracture came and the right nostril got extremely small. This time I did have another revision here again.. They said if I changed the material, it could get better than now, and that they would try to even out the asymmetry as much as possible, but I can't tell the difference from before

살려줘 [@] I used rib cartilage But they said it would come down
살려줘 [@] Is revision surgery possible before 2 weeks?? My doctor said it went well....

살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] I've had contracture for a long time Then does that mean a contracted nose can't be corrected at all?
Reader 28 This is a private post.
살려줘 [@] Even if it's expensive, would it be better to go somewhere that specializes in nose revision surgery..

살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] The doctor said the breathing discomfort is because of scar tissue inside my nose. 1st surgery: a quack doctor at a local clinic 2nd surgery: another clinic in Apgujeong 3rd surgery: another different clinic in Apgujeong. At first it was made symmetric, but suddenly the left side became smaller, so during the revision they overcorrected toward the right, but it gradually contracted. 4th surgery: at the current clinic, they said the support around the columella area was weak, so it collapsed, contracted, and became smaller. They said if I used autologous costal cartilage, it would be sturdy and wouldn't collapse. They said the asymmetry would get better than now. So I had the surgery, and now it's in that state I go to the clinic on the 18th to check the progress, and they said they'll give me contracture medication and then see how it looks. During consultation they did say they'd do AS, but can I trust the same clinic with it? The reason I did it at this clinic was because my last surgery was still at this clinic, so I thought they would know my nose well..

살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] At this clinic, it's my third surgery, right, Apgujeong Top Face. I had called Wanna in Apgujeong too, but there they quoted over 10 million won...
살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] At that size, it doesn't seem like swelling..? It looks like a finger won't fit into either side. Before, one side would fit
Reader 35 This is a private post.
살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] So you really do have to spend that much.. My 2nd surgery was at a place called Apgujeong Faceline, and the nasal bridge was pretty, but the nostrils were just completely uneven, one side round and one side pointy. You went through a lot too My nose skin isn't thin, and it's not skin that stretches well either. They said it's somewhat firm skin.. And my natural nose was a full bulbous nose with no nasal bridge at all. It was just a nose with only the tip protruding. Maybe that's why surgery is even harder
oTmTo [@날마다좋은날] Have you never considered removal instead of revision surgery?

살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] Right, they say if you remove it, the nose shrivels. I absolutely don't want removal either. I'd rather die than live with my old nose.. My flower-like 20s all flew away because of my nose haha. I'm almost 30 now, sigh, when will I graduate from this.. I've been shut in at home, and now I've even developed social anxiety

살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] A lot has gone out Still, my natural nose was the ugliest one, so my current noses are better It's just the nostril symmetry. I'm not hoping for perfect symmetry, I just hope it evens out even a little. Seriously, when I go outside, I'm the only one wearing a mask
Reader 44 This is a private post.
살려줘 [@날마다좋은날] I don't know whether the contracture is severe or not There are so many people whose lives were ruined because one nose surgery went wrong... sigh
