Before the surgery, I was given absolutely no explanation by the doctor about how the operation would be done, and the only thing I heard from the coordinator was, “You’ll be getting silicone, septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and bulbous nose correction~.” On the day of surgery, I arrived and immediately got put on the bed. I really want to smack myself. I went back to the hospital and asked how my nose had been modified, how far the septal extension went, what was done with the ear cartilage, and whether they resected the alar cartilage and removed fat for the bulbous nose correction, but with a hospital that has only five staff members, they just keep saying they will check with the responsible department and contact me later, and they still have not told me anything for a week. Seriously lol. The doctor keeps dodging me and will not even consult with me. Sigh.. I ended up venting too long.. sorry.. Does the surgical record show what kind of techniques were used? If the doctor was unethical, maybe they just wrote something vague..?
