I Had Nose Surgery...

I thought I was far removed from cosmetic surgery, but I got good information from this community, took courage, and went through with it. I had it done on the morning of the 11th. Yesterday I was very swollen, but today I looked acceptable. My kids tease me, saying, "Mom, today your face looks human." I didn't go around for consultations here and there like other people. Since I live in Pyeongtaek, while I was out downtown on an errand, I knocked on the door of a plastic surgery clinic I liked. The first clinic I went into had a very clean image. Thinking, "So this is what a plastic surgery clinic looks like," I registered. The first thing I did was check whether the doctor was a board-certified plastic surgeon, then started the consultation. The doctor's gentle smile, as he smiled softly and explained things step by step, felt very comfortable. He consulted with me while giving examples about various things, such as possible side effects that might occur and the cost of revision surgery. (To be honest, I felt a little sorry when talking about the cost.) It was really awkward. Having to negotiate the cost directly with the doctor who would be doing the work felt a bit, well, uncomfortable. I also felt sorry. Anyway, that was how it was. The surgery was not as painful as I expected. I had local anesthesia. Throughout the procedure, the doctor spoke to me, telling me not to be nervous, to tell him if it hurt, and to relax while he operated. How should I put it, I did feel that something was happening to my nose, but it didn't hurt or feel unpleasant. I just entrusted it to him, thinking the doctor surely wasn't going to remove my nose. After about an hour of surgery, it felt numb, but it wasn't unpleasantly painful. After surgery, he also removed moles on my face, so I had anesthetic cream applied and even had the moles removed before coming back. I drove home. It really only felt numb, not painful. If you're too scared to do it, just go for it like I did. Then it's done. Yesterday I also went in for disinfection. Tomorrow I'm going for disinfection again. The swelling has gone down a lot today. I worked really hard with ice packs. My mouth protrudes a little too, so he suggested fat injections instead of a paranasal augmentation. So after the swelling goes down, I decided to get fat injections in my deeply sunken glabella and around my mouth (both sides of the nasal alae). And for me, silicone was inserted in the nasal bridge, AlloDerm was inserted in the nasal tip, and the bone in the middle of my nose was also shaved. I need the swelling to go down more quickly, take off the tape, and go to work hahaha Everyone who is hesitating, take courage. I think cosmetic surgery is a matter of luck. No matter how famous the doctor is, if the wavelength doesn't match with the patient, I don't think it works. Don't agonize over it, don't just go around to multiple consultations, and just go ahead and do it. I don't regret having it done at M in Pyeongtaek. Take courage, everyone, and stay healthy.
