I’m seriously the biggest scaredy-cat ever, a Busan local who’s never had a knife near my body except for LASEK, but this time I made up my mind, went up to Seoul, and got nose surgery! lol My face was originally a bit round and my nose was small, so my overall impression looked kind of flat. Even my parents kept nagging me to raise my nose a bit, so I went to consultations at several places, but everywhere I went, they told me to shave down bone or recommended an obvious “plastic-surgery nose,” so I got scared and gave up. Then I found out there was a closed surgery done only with autologous cartilage, without silicone. They said there was no splint and it looked natural, so I thought, “If it’s this, even a coward like me could do it,” and headed to Seoul. Actually, I gave up on other famous places because they said just getting a reservation would take a year, and I went to a place I’d heard about through friends’ word of mouth, and I think I made the right choice. I went for the consultation, and the director really analyzed my face shape exactly. Every time I asked, “Should I shave down my hump? Should I build up the bridge?” he said, “Is that really necessary? You don’t need to.” lol Instead of telling me to do everything no matter what, he pointed out only what was needed within a range that wouldn’t ruin my image, and that made me totally trust him, so I booked surgery right away for 3 days later.When I walked into the operating room, my legs were shaking so much that the nurses covered me with several layers of blankets. The sleep medication went in, and when I came to, it was over in an hour! The most fascinating thing was that right after surgery, I took the train back down to Busan, and there was no splint and no cotton inside my nose, so I could breathe freely. It felt so anticlimactic that I wondered, “Did I really have surgery?” lolIt’s been exactly one month now, and it’s really natural! It doesn’t look obvious that I had the nose procedure, so my friends ask if I got prettier lol It feels like only my complex was erased, so I’m really happy. Even a scaredy-cat like me did it, so I totally recommend it to people who want a natural-looking nose rather than a dramatic one!
