Um... At first I went without thinking much... I was a little scared, so I stayed up all night before going.; lol Oh right!! I had it done on December 19... As expected.. since I stayed up all night, the sleep anesthesia worked really well.. lol I didn't have anything specifically decided and just did whatever the doctor suggested.. They said because my skin is thin, it couldn't be raised a lot lol Originally my radix was low and my nose was small overall.. Now no one recognizes it.. They just ask if I lost weight.. that level.. hmm.. I've gone off topic anyway;; I lay on the operating table, they applied disinfectant and put in an IV.. They couldn't find a vein, so I thought my arm was going to be crushed. My arm hurt more than my nose... They were going to take nasal cartilage, but since the feel would be a bit sharp, they suggested using ear cartilage, so I said okay. When they put the disinfectant deep into my nose.. that feeling was really awful. lol My ear was itchy.. Then the anesthesia started, and it felt like I was being sucked in whole with a whoosh~ I slept really well.. lolololol Staying up all night before going was very good. haha I have no memory during the surgery... But then... dun dun.. -_-;; After I woke up, the very, very tip of my nose hurt sooooo much.. -_- Despair.. Another patient was lying next to me, and because I was groaning so much, they kept asking if I was okay.. Ugh, it hurt so much. I even teared up a little..;;; I'm usually very good at enduring pain. Seriously..;; But aah.;;; lol Still, I was tired, so I fell asleep again... I slept about another thirty minutes and woke up, and I was so, so hungry.. They didn't tell me exactly how many hours to fast, so I went completely starving.. -_-;; I thought I was going to die of hunger. lolol After a bit, my ear hurt so much.. Honestly, as time passed, my ear hurt much more than my nose..-_- My ear still hurts.. -_- And I thought the place where they took the ear cartilage wouldn't feel empty.. (I don't know where I got that idea though.;;) but it was hollow..-_-;; When I touch it... there's only skin +_+/ It's fascinating, so I still touch it now... -0-;;; I thought stitches were removed after 1 week, but no.. -_-;;; They removed them quite a while later.. Ugh, removing the stitches from the nose hurt so, so much.. The nurse kept saying I was enduring it well.;;; My friend's older sister said it didn't hurt.. For me, the surgery itself felt easy compared with that.. That's how much it hurt. A few tears -_ Afterward, making facial expressions was a bit difficult.. I visited the hospital once a week to correct any crookedness and check progress, and now I'm going next week or so to get a mole removed... haha;;; Ah~~ and I slept sitting up for about 2 weeks -_- My butt got completely stiff, ugh Even though I slept with tons of cushions, it was still like that.. sigh.. No matter how soft it is, you can't avoid butt soreness -0-; But thanks to that, the swelling went down well.;; Even after that, I slept with my upper body elevated.. -0-;; People say they can't really tell I changed much.. Depressing.. whew -_- People who don't know I had surgery don't notice. -0- Just, "You lost a little weight~~" that much.. Super natural.. whew;; lol But I guess it was a success.. From the front you honestly can't really tell, and from the side it feels like it has gone up slightly.. My eyes protrude a little, so it lines up similarly with my eyes. Um.. I didn't know the surgical method in detail, so I had surgery while completely ignorant. I wasn't too shocked, but I thought it might help anyway.;;; lol
