<(Before surgery)><(After surgery)>My nasal bridge wasn’t extremely low, but I had a hump nose that anyone could see was pretty severe. My nose was also on the crooked side... I often heard that my facial features and face shape were pretty, but because of my nose, I always felt something was really lacking. But I was also so scared of nose surgery, so I kept putting it off and putting it off, then finally got nose surgery. A regular nose surgery felt burdensome because of the recovery period and everything, so I looked into closed rhinoplasty and had it done at VN by Director Oh Seung-il. I went to several hospitals known for closed rhinoplasty, and among them, he explained things the most calmly and in detail. Some of the places I went for consultations didn’t even do CT scans, but here, they did a CT scan and checked the size and shape of my nasal septum, then explained the surgical direction, so I trusted them. While removing the hump, I also had alar reduction and cartilage binding done together. He said he would graft cartilage particles into the sunken part of the nasal bridge, the dorsum area, and the nasal tip, and said he would correct the crooked part. Because it was closed rhinoplasty, I didn’t even have a splint, and the swelling didn’t last long. Of course, there’s no scar on my nose either. On the first day, I had almost no pain, and I don’t know if it’s because my body handles surgery well or because it was closed rhinoplasty, but I recovered really quickly. I had the packing removed right away the next day, the taping removed on day 3, and the ear stitches removed at one week, then treatment was finished. For now, I think what I liked most was getting back to daily life faster than I expected. But seriously, the shape kept changing depending on the swelling in my nose. There’s a reason people who’ve had nose surgery say to watch it for at least a month. As the swelling went down, the shape changed day by day, and the nasal tip settled into the shape I wanted, so I like it more as time passes. The aftercare is well set up, so the hospital takes good care of me too. When I tell friends who’ve had nose surgery that I did it closed, they’re surprised. They say it looks really natural and that my nose shape became so pretty... First of all, since the hump and the crooked parts were all corrected, just changing one nose makes a person’s impression look so different... The nose line turned out so pretty that the time I spent worrying feels wasted, so I’m very satisfied. For people who are too scared of nose surgery and are debating because fillers spread, I think closed rhinoplasty could be okay? Of course, surgery is something you always have to be careful about, so I hope you research well before doing it.
