I had implant-removal surgery around February 2025. I had previously undergone nose surgery with only ear cartilage added to the tip, and 13 years had passed. One day I noticed cartilage showing through near the tip and the nose slightly deviating to one side. There was no problem, so I left it alone, but one day I noticed that area periodically became red and felt pulling at the tip, so I thought something was wrong. I began visiting clinics that specialized in removal. I did not care about new interiors or anything like that; I only looked at the doctor's expertise. Rather than a doctor with a long career who was simply kind, I wanted someone who communicated well and had a clear philosophy about their own surgery. I also avoided places where the people handling price consultations had undergone excessive cosmetic work themselves or recommended various surgeries despite not being doctors. I deliberated for about a month before finding a clinic. I wanted a clinic that had been operating for a long time without changing its name. I liked the process of consulting with the doctor first and then the coordinator, so I made an appointment, paid the deposit that day, and had the removal surgery on my preferred date. The doctor was not extremely warm, but explained the surgery in tremendous detail, and I felt their surgical direction and sense of responsibility were excellent. When I asked whether aftercare was available if there were problems after removal, the doctor did not dodge the question and said of course they would help if a problem arose. They said they would make this removal surgery my last nose surgery, so I thought, 'This is the doctor,' and paid the deposit that day. (The coordinator was somewhat older but very kind. While I was recovering after the nose surgery, they even brought me porridge.) The reason I liked the consultation was that when I brought photos and explanations of the nose shape I wanted, along with my questions, the doctor explained in great detail what was possible and why certain things were not. The doctor seemed conservative by nature and focused on safety. (So they probably make careful decisions about procedures such as multiple revision surgeries...) I also have asthma, and they took that into serious consideration during surgery. In conclusion, my nose now looks similar to my natural nose. I liked the doctor so much that I wanted to have my eyes treated too, but the doctor told me to leave them alone, so I gave up and am simply living with them. At present, the nasal scar is barely visible. The scar left from my old nose surgery used to show somewhat, but now it is barely noticeable, so I am satisfied.
