Eye Surgery Considerations

Clinic community review

First of all, before writing this, I swear I will not tell even a single lie. I had surgery here twice. Once was a complete removal, and once was revision surgery. For the complete removal, they should have done something other than removal alone (osteotomy or bone shaving), but I said I did not want them to touch the bone, and when I saw the result, my nasal bridge had become broad and flat. Other than that, I lived somewhat satisfied, but the sense of loss grew, and after a year I started considering osteotomy again, so I went for an osteotomy consultation. I made up my mind to have osteotomy, and on the day of surgery I was having the consultation, but suddenly they said that for my needs, osteotomy alone would not be enough, and that if I put in silicone, everything would likely be solved. After hearing that, I thought about it a lot, and they did say I did not necessarily have to have surgery that day and could do it later. But because I wanted to improve right away, I just changed course to silicone and decided on surgery. I know it was also my fault for deciding in such a short time, but still, I wonder if there was also a problem with suddenly recommending silicone after talking about osteotomy and swaying me. As a result, the silicone consultation was significantly insufficient, and it led to a result with not a few problems now. Originally, before surgery, there were about 3 areas I wanted to improve: 1. Columella position 2. Broad, flat nasal bridge 3. Height asymmetry on both sides of the nasal bridge bone But now the columella position is more deviated to one side than before, so the nostril asymmetry is worse, and the nasal tip is also deviated to the left. The broad, flat nasal bridge improved, but because the widths of the nasal bridge and the silicone do not match exactly, a problem occurred where the silicone border is visible. As for the height on both sides of the nasal bridge bone, one side is still higher and one side is lower. I think maybe they should have used silicone with a width somewhat similar to the nasal bridge bone, but they used silicone that was too narrow, which is why the border looks visible like this. They say the nostril asymmetry can be addressed with alar reduction because there is no problem with the column, but no matter how I look at it, it seems like there is a problem with the column. I guess it just does not look that way to their eyes haha.. When I complained several times about these problems, they said there was no issue related to the columella as I thought, and said they would do a surgery called nostril lowering after 6 months, but honestly I am not sure. Anyone can see the columella is deviated to one side, so is it really right for them to say there is no problem and that there is no surgery to move the columella.. Leaving aside everything said above, at first they said the columella position could also be improved by placing a support, but instead it has become more deviated than before, and that is the most bitter part. I wonder if maybe the doctor and I just were not a good match.. Only 2 months have passed, so I will wait more, but the nostril asymmetry has become so severe that I think I will probably have revision surgery.. Everyone, when choosing a hospital, no matter how good its reputation is and how long its experience is, you really need to see during consultation whether communication with you goes well.. Otherwise, it fails.
