My nose was short and was a typically blunt, bulbous nose, so I often heard that my impression looked a bit stuffy. On top of that, because of rhinitis, whenever the seasons changed my nasal congestion was really severe, to the point that I would wake up while sleeping. This time, I went to Director Lee Geun-seok at ㅇㅇㄷ and got everything taken care of at once. I had silicone for the nasal bridge, and septal cartilage and ear cartilage were used for the nasal tip. I also had osteotomy and alar reduction together. During the consultation, when he looked inside my nose with an endoscope, he said my inferior turbinates were enlarged and completely blocking the airway? I was a bit worried about the surgery cost since I was doing several things together, but fortunately they said I could receive benefits for the rhinitis part through the medical indemnity insurance I had, so I felt a bit relieved. Even without me separately calling the insurance company and asking every little detail, the hospital had a staff member dedicated to insurance, so they helped me directly from preparing the documents to guidance on filing the claim, which was pretty convenient. The director also explained things very calmly during the consultation, so I think that helped me feel more at ease. It has been exactly one month now, but there is still some swelling, so I think it is a bit early to say the rhinitis has improved 100%. Still, before, my nose would get completely blocked when I slept and I kept waking up in the middle of the night, but these days that has definitely decreased, I think? Maybe because the breathing passage itself has widened, my throat seems to hurt less when I wake up in the morning too. And the nose shape, which used to be short and blunt, now extends longer in a straight line, so honestly it feels amazing to the point that I wonder if this is really my nose.. While getting surgery this time, I also dieted a bit, and my wife told me I seem a bit better-looking these days? lol I have hardly ever received compliments about my appearance in my life, so seeing how much my image can change with just my nose makes me feel pretty proud too.. There is still some swelling left at the nasal tip, so more time will need to pass, but for now, I think it came out with the masculine look I wanted, so I’m fairly satisfied~
