I finally took the plunge and had bulbous nose surgery.

I really hated the shape of my bulbous nose, so I was always just worrying about it, but this time I made a big decision and had surgery.   I went to several clinics, but among them, my criteria for choosing where to have surgery were whether the director performing the surgery was a board-certified specialist and what kind of experience he had. I considered those the top priorities.   Director Kim Tae-hwan was an otolaryngology specialist, and with about 20 years of experience alone, I thought he would be able to detect ENT conditions such as a deviated septum or hypertrophic rhinitis even with just a brief consultation. Also, I had heard that he makes cosmetic noses look pretty as well, so I think I prioritized the fact that I could get a good result all at once without needing surgery in two separate stages.   Second was the financial aspect. Realistically, the reason I had not had surgery until now and had only been worrying about it was the cost, so I looked closely at how reasonable the price was. When I first had the consultation, the price was higher than I expected, so I hesitated, but when I considered the aftercare provided by the clinic, such as swelling laser treatment and pumpkin juice, I was able to justify it to some extent. Since I thought there were not many places that consider both the structural aspect and aesthetics at the same time, I paid the deposit and made up my mind.   Lastly, I think I searched a lot for clinics with realistic reviews. Since the nose is the center of the face, I checked things even more carefully while looking through many reviews, and as I mentioned earlier, I chose First Button Clinic because I was considering not only function but also aesthetics. Reviews from people who had surgery at First Button could be found not only on apps but also on YouTube, so I felt confident that I could trust this doctor with my nose.   I did have a nasal bridge, but from the front, it was a wide, bulbous nose, and since I had always been stressed about it, I really wanted surgery, but I was strongly against implants.   Director Kim Tae-hwan reflected my opinion and decided to use fascia in the glabella area instead of a silicone implant, and he also corrected my bulbous nose, so now that the surgery is over, even though it was done without an implant, I like that my nasal tip is higher and slimmer.   Before the surgery, everyone around me tried to stop me, and many people said I was being too picky about choosing a clinic, but now after the surgery, they even ask me where I had it done. haha
