After/before photos (basic nose + bulbous nose correction + short nose correction + donated costal cartilage). It has been about 20 days since I had surgery with Director Lee Jun-woo at Private!
The surgery was over after I fell asleep and woke up, and I felt fine enough to walk home by myself! lol If it hurt, I could just take medicine anyway, so there wasn't really anything I could call painful. Just some discomfort breathing? I did fine even without a humidifier! Rather than dryness, being thirsty was a bigger issue, so I don't think I really noticed it.
Honestly, I had heard a lot that it hurts when the cotton is removed, when the splint is taken off, and when the stitches are removed, so I was really worried, but without a single lie, it was totally fine! When the cotton was removed, it felt so refreshing, I didn't even realize the splint was being taken off, and the stitches didn't even sting…?
I was already seriously lacking exercise to begin with, but the weather has been so cold lately that I didn't go outside except when going to the clinic or eating out. At home, I just played with my dog and cleaned the house. From the day after surgery to day 10, I took swelling medication whenever I remembered, and I only drank pumpkin juice from day 8 to day 13, so I really had almost no swelling and only some bruising! (I think the major swelling has gone down a lot now.)
If you have anything else you're curious about, leave a comment~… Next time, when the swelling goes down more, I'll bring a full review.
