I’m someone who had HiKo and fillers multiple times for over 10 years, but at some point, a line started forming in the middle of my nose like it was sunken in. At first, it was only noticeable to me, but it gradually got deeper, and later people started directly asking me, “What happened to your nose?” From then on, the stress was seriously intense.
Then this winter, my rhinitis got insanely bad, to the point where I couldn’t even sleep properly, so I thought, “Ah, I really need to do this,” and decided to get functional nose surgery and cosmetic rhinoplasty together. I’d always wanted nose surgery, so I had some places saved separately, and after deciding, I spent months searching like crazy, went to tons of consultations and compared them, then got discouraged again and almost gave up. But at the last hospital I went to, they pinpointed and explained the exact direction I wanted.. At that final hospital, I paid the reservation deposit right away, had no regrets or doubts, and immediately stopped searching.
What I was most worried about before surgery was the nasal packing, because I’d heard so many people say it was absolute hell, so I was scared… And it really was the worst.. I’m honestly so glad I only had to do it for one day and it was over.
After a week, when the splint came off, I did have a slight bruise because of the hump fracture, but it could be covered with a mask, and with makeup it was barely noticeable.
People’s reactions are funny too. At first glance, it’s just like, “Something feels different?” and they don’t really realize I had nose surgery. But if they look a bit more closely, they say, “Why is your nose so pretty?” and then they notice.
Right now, I’m most satisfied that my nose line has become smooth, and my nasal tip is lifted too, so my side profile is just insane. These days I’m almost only taking photos from the side lol
It’s not really a downside, but if there’s one thing bothering me, it’s that my nasal tip is a bit more lifted than I expected, so my nostrils show a little. They said it’s still swelling, so I’m waiting a bit longer.
But now that my nose looks prettier, suddenly I want to get everything else done too… I’m in a slightly restless state right now, but I’m holding back for now. These days I just keep looking only at my nose in a small mirror and feeling satisfied by myself
