I had bulbous nose correction surgery on the nasal tip only, using the closed approach with septal cartilage + ear cartilage, and raised it slightly.
It has been about 1 year and 7 months since surgery, and depending on the angle of the light as in the photo, only one side is deeply sunken enough to look that severe. From the side where that depressed area is, the indentation is also clearly visible.
It doesn’t show in the photo, but in real life, if you look very closely, there is also a symptom where the cartilage shows through whitishly above the depressed area.
Actually, I think signs of the nose sinking started to appear around day 9 after surgery.
Later, when it reached the point where the cartilage was showing through completely white, I went to the hospital, but the doctor said it was fine and there was nothing to worry about.
So I just left it alone, and I was so foolish to leave it like this for such a long time.
Recently, every time I look in the mirror, I get so stressed and bothered by it that I’m considering revision surgery ㅜ
I chose the closed approach because I didn’t want scarring, and my nasal bridge was already high, so silicone itself felt very risky. I had surgery without being greedy, just wanting to improve only the nasal tip, which was my complex.
Why does this kind of misfortune feel like it only happens to me.. I’m just so depressed.
If I had known I would end up needing revision surgery like this, maybe I should have just gone with the open approach and found someone whose skills were definitely guaranteed.
I heard that they can just fill the sunken area again with something like ear cartilage.
In the end, it would be done through an open approach, right?? If I do it closed again, they’ll be pulling, stretching, and manipulating the nose in all directions, so I feel like everything from the previous surgery will collapse.. haha
