I had my cast removed and stitches taken out today, went out to eat with a friend for the first time in a while, had coffee, and just got home. I got messages saying people were waiting for my review and photos.;;; Oh no, my husband took the digital camera with him on a business trip, so photos probably won’t be possible until next week. I sent him off on a business trip while I was still in the cast;;;; He kept patting me before leaving, saying I looked cute like a muzzled puppy. -_-;;;; Today I went to the clinic with that semi-expert friend, and she’s at my place with me now. ^^ The director is having surgery right now (his kidneys aren’t good), so he’ll be back from Friday. I’ll see him next week. After the cast came off, the area between my eyes was extremely swollen, and since this is my first experience, I really had no idea. When I measured it with my fingers while the cast was on, I definitely thought it had gotten shorter, but looking at it with my eyes, my nose looks long too... But my friend said the line is really pretty. And that someone seeing me for the first time wouldn’t know at all that I had surgery... She says as the glabella swelling goes down, the curves will come alive... I’m hoping that happens. The nose is a moderate line, neither high nor low, and she says it’s not a right-triangle cartoon nose or a typical surgically done nose, but an elegant-looking nose shape. She says it’ll look like a naturally pretty nose. She said it’s not easy to make it like this... She was admiring it so much, saying “as expected~,” but since I’ve never been swollen before, how would I know what to say. -_-;;; I’ll only be able to confirm the details once the swelling goes down. What’s clear so far is... 1. The nasal bridge became slightly thicker, adding a more refined look. 2. Before, I had a high hump nose with a sharp and pretty nasal tip, but the nose alone stood out and my image was strongly sharp and cold. Now I look softer and younger than before. 3. I had a slightly retruded chin, so my mouth looked protruded... but now it doesn’t look protruded... I didn’t even do nasolabial fold augmentation, so I don’t know why it’s like this. -_-a;;; Maybe the doctor matched the angles of my chin, mouth, and nose well... maybe the area around my mouth is swollen too... maybe I gained weight because I just ate and slept after surgery.. It definitely seems like a success, not a failure... but I’ll only know the satisfaction percentage after the swelling goes down haha Depending on my satisfaction, if a revision is needed, I’m going to ask the doctor. He’s someone who would handle it straightforwardly without complaints... The area where the hump was also has bruising... It really makes me think he did shave the bone after all. Removing the cast hurt more than removing the stitches. If the bone is touched, it still.... While I had the cast on, I wore rimless glasses.. Now I’m wearing contacts instead of glasses. Oh, on the day of surgery, I said this to the doctor. While he was drawing on my nose with a marker... “It’s okay if a tiny bit of the hump remains, so you don’t have to shave too aggressively.” Since I wasn’t having osteotomy, I was worried there might be a hole in the bone or that my nose would become extremely low hahaha. And there was a time when Shim Eun-ha had that kind of look in the middle, and if there’s a subtle contour, it can look natural and graceful. Right now it looks straight, but if it turns out like that after the swelling goes down, I’ll have hit the jackpot. Puhaha... Until my husband comes back, I’ll diligently drink pumpkin juice... and if I get bored, I’ll post my first-surgery-experience review. I want to take a bath... I never scrub dead skin in my life, but today I really want to scrub hard..
