Before-before-after-after-after-after For the cosmetic part, you can tell just by looking at the photos, but it was a hump nose And for the functional part, nasal congestion There may be people who get surgery because function is important, but for me, cosmetics mattered a bit more, and I was seriously foolish;;; I thought that if you got rhinoplasty, the functional part would improve together too, but after looking into it and getting consultations... function and cosmetics were separate;;
So I looked mainly for hospitals that also had an ENT department where I could get both functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty, and deep down I also wanted to use my actual-expense insurance if I were going to do it, so I narrowed them down and had the surgery~
Before surgery, I did all the tests and set the appointment date, and I was a bit nervous until the day of surgery, but once I actually lay down, I fell asleep and when I woke up it was over;;
I rested in the recovery room as much as I needed, then went home in my mom's car;;
The splint was attached pretty big, so honestly I couldn't see the shape of my nose, so I think I spent almost every day watching TV Something like a runny nose kept flowing from my nose, so I managed it by continually changing the gauze under my nose
And after removing the splint;;;; when they also removed everything inside my nose... I was practically shouting in my heart, wow, breathing through your nose is really this important?;;
The swelling made me look like Avatar, so I couldn't take photos then, but I heard pumpkin tea? things like that are good for swelling, so I drank it until I was really sick of it;
It has now been 3 weeks I still have a runny nose that keeps flowing But the shape, especially the hump... I honestly like it so much that I wonder why I only did this now. For reference, I had septum surgery and bridge/nasal tip surgery, while also treating the hump nose, bulbous nose, and two types of rhinitis
The hospital says there is still some swelling, so I need to keep watching it a bit more, but for the functional part, I don't yet feel like there is anything particularly lacking when it comes to breathing But the director said that once it reaches 1 month, from then on I should gently and consistently do nasal rinsing at home too They said that way, the functional surgery recovery is faster too, and it helps prevent recurrence
I'm planning to go to the pharmacy soon and buy that thing for nasal rinsing Which one is good?
