+I mentioned this when I went for my 2-week follow-up, and since the shape hasn’t fully settled yet either, they said they’ll monitor the progress and, if I still don’t like it after 6 months, they’ll revise only the nasal tip. There’s nothing I can do right now anyway, so I’m going to try to relax in the meantime. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hump shaved down (decided to leave a little) + no osteotomy + nasal tip raised using ear cartilage as a columellar strut
First of all, I’m not satisfied. The front-to-back length of my nasal tip was short, so I wanted it to become a bit longer, but it doesn’t feel longer at all; it just feels like it was lifted upward. The upturned part may come down a bit over time, but the nasal tip length isn’t going to get longer... Looking at review photos in a community, I liked the pretty look where the tip seemed to be held and extended forward, so I chose this hospital, but mine didn’t turn out that way. My nasolabial angle was already fairly large before surgery, so I don’t really understand why they only lifted the tip upward instead of projecting it forward. The side line of the nasal bridge isn’t that pretty either. It kind of has a saddle-nose feel. From the front, my nostrils show way too much, so it looks like a pig nose.
I wondered if maybe I was seeing it wrong, so when I ask my family, ‘Is it pretty? Do you think it turned out well?’ they avoid answering, saying things like ‘I can’t tell because of the swelling’ or ‘I can’t tell because of the bruising,’ and they ne~~~ver say it’s pretty lol How does it look to everyone here? Even accounting for swelling + the tip coming down later, and even if it was slightly overcorrected, do they usually make the nasolabial angle that large? As time passes, will the nasolabial angle become smaller than it is now, and will my nostrils show a bit less? If the tip had at least become a little longer forward and higher, I could endure it thinking the other parts would get better over time, but since it doesn’t look higher at all and only the nose shape looks strange, I’m really flustered;; Even if the tip fortunately comes down, other than the hump being shaved down a bit, I feel like the nose shape will be almost the same as before surgery. Is this really the result of a surgery that cost over 4 million won..?
When I go for my 2-week follow-up, how should I bring this up...
