Before deciding on nose surgery, I went for consultations at about 5 plastic surgery clinics, so it really.. wasn’t easy! I knew my nose was the biggest issue on my face, but when it came time to actually have surgery, I was scared and worried it might look too obvious… Since every consultation gave me different opinions, I had a few reality-check moments too. Still, I felt like I would have to do it someday, so after really thinking it through carefully, I think I decided on surgery.. Looking at my side profile, my nasal bridge was low and I had a slight hump.. From the front, my nasal tip was blunt and drooped, so I guess the bulbous nose stood out even more? My friends often said I’d be really pretty if I just did my nose, and while it was nice to hear, it was also subtly stressful, you know? I remember feeling really upset whenever I heard that my nose was big... So I had surgery with autologous costal cartilage at the clinic, and it’s been about 2 weeks now. I took off the splint and looked in the mirror, and even though the swelling hadn’t fully gone down, I liked it Honestly, I expected the swelling to be severe and was prepared to struggle for at least 3 months, but there was less swelling than I thought, which was surprising, and I had no major issues with daily life! The swelling hasn’t completely gone down yet, but the nose line and overall dimensionality are different, so I’m really happy! I was actually most worried about the area where the autologous costal cartilage was harvested, and I had been unnecessarily nervous for a few days because I thought it might hurt But it hurt less than I expected, and I think I just need to keep managing the scar consistently. Rather than any special care, I’m just doing compresses diligently, and walks only when I feel like it because I’m too lazy… Still, I think my recovery is pretty fast! And the biggest reason I chose this place was that both the director and the consultant didn’t pressure me, and instead respected the direction I wanted, which I really liked! They really designed the nose exactly the way I wanted, so the result seems almost the same as what I imagined!! It’s only week 2, but if it’s this good already, that’s a success~ Thinking that it’ll get even prettier as more swelling goes down and it settles makes me excited already, so it’s fun looking in the mirror every day haha. I worried about my nose for such a long time, but after doing it, I know for sure! For the nose, surgery is just the answer…!!
