It has already been 4 months since my surgery. Before getting my nose done, I really thought about it for a long time before deciding on surgery. When I took photos or looked in the mirror, my hump nose looked quite pronounced and my eyes looked sleepy, so I decided I should look into it properly. While visiting several clinics, I found Lowell Plastic Surgery. I told Director Kim Jae-yoon that I wanted to become prettier naturally, and he looked at my overall facial proportions and explained in detail what kind of line would suit me. He said he would not make it excessively high or create an overdone line, so I really trusted him!! Maybe because it is a one-doctor clinic, I felt like he looked after each person very thoroughly.
So I had non-incisional ptosis correction, and for my nose, I had surgery using Innofit, a 3D implant, for the nasal bridge, and donated costal cartilage and ear cartilage for the nasal tip.
In the early period not long after surgery, I was very bothered by the swelling and bruising, but now I really think I made the right choice. I had my eyes and nose done together, and I often heard that my overall impression looked much clearer and very natural haha. Before, I often heard that my eyes looked slightly stuffy and sleepy, but now my eyes look much clearer and more open. The swelling remained quite a bit until the 1-month mark, and in the mornings especially they looked a little swollen, but from around the 3-month mark, it felt like they naturally settled into place. The line also became much thinner and more natural than at first, and even when I close my eyes, the scar is barely noticeable, so I am satisfied.
I worried the most about my nose in the beginning. I wondered what if it looked pointlessly too high, but as time passed, it gradually settled to suit my face. Until the 2-month mark, the nasal tip felt a little firm and awkward, but now it has softened a lot. As the side line became more refined, my overall mood feels more balanced. More than anything, I really like photos of my side profile.
During the recovery period, I needed more patience than I expected. There were times when it felt like the swelling was going down slowly, and I also worried for no reason, but I realized that time is the answer. At the 3-month mark, most of the major swelling was gone and it felt like everything had naturally blended into my face. Now at 4 months, I am even more satisfied than I was at 3 months! Overall, I am very satisfied now, to the point that the time I spent worrying feels like a waste. Of course, I still need to watch it a bit longer until it fully settles, but so far I am really satisfied!!
