Has anyone here ever had their first surgery go badly and then found it painful to look in the mirror for a while? My nasal tip was really upturned, the bridge of my nose was still blunt, and I hated being photographed more than anything.. Forget selfies, whenever I saw photos someone else took of me, all I could see was my nose, and the stress would build up to the top of my head. I spent so many nights searching through reviews and crying so much Honestly, deciding on revision surgery was also really difficult because I was so scared of what if it failed again.. But after meeting Director Kim Dae-hwa at a clinic in Sinsa this time, I finally feel like I’ve escaped that period of stress… During the consultation, the director looked at the condition of my nose and explained things while casually drawing on paper, and he wasn’t the type to give false hope with only flashy words. He calmly pointed out only the facts, like “This won’t look pretty if you get too greedy” and “This part can definitely be improved,” and that straightforwardness actually made everything in my complicated head feel organized For the surgery, they corrected my short nose using donated costal cartilage and also did an osteotomy. Because the implant was individually carved and refined to match the original contours of my nose, the line falling from between my brows to my nasal tip became really smooth.. Especially since I was worried the nasal tip might droop, I heard he fixed it firmly in three layers, almost like tying knots step by step. Maybe that’s why I can visibly see that the nasal tip is held firmly, so I can finally sleep peacefully Also, for people considering functional nose surgery because of things like rhinitis, this place can coordinate directly with ENT, so I think it would be convenient to address everything at once..! Another thing I felt was a plus is that I heard postoperative care is really important for revision rhinoplasty, and when I go in for follow-ups, the director personally looks after me, which I really like..! Up to day 3 after surgery, it felt tightly swollen, so I practically lived with cold compresses. But as soon as the splint and stitches were removed, I went out the next day with full makeup, and my friends all made such a fuss saying my overall impression looked more refined!! Not being able to blow my nose for a month is a little frustrating, but when I look at this “natural-glam” line, that kind of discomfort is really nothing It’s genuinely natural but also glamorous? It has exactly that subtle extra touch of beauty, so these days I feel a bit more confident If there’s anyone here who failed their first surgery like me and is losing sleep while searching for a clinic, you know how I feel, right?
