Friends considering non-implant nose surgery.
I will tell you about my nose surgery review after 20 years.
Friends who are looking into hospitals right now are probably curious about the immediate changes after surgery, but we're not going to live with the surgery face for a year or two, right? I am leaving this post because I think it would be helpful to know which things are satisfactory and which things are dissatisfying from a long-term perspective.
1) Why did you choose non-implants?
In fact, the director said, “It’s natural to have no implants, so just do what they tell you!” This is the case where I did it. The director was a relative of his, so he treated me like a nephew, so I just had to do as he was told. I was too young as a high school senior who had just taken the college entrance exam, and I didn't have as much information as I do now. I went to a plastic surgery clinic because I vaguely wanted my nose to be taller, so please do it like this!! I couldn't insist. I didn't even know the exact name of the surgery, and they said they would put a small piece of silicone to raise the eyebrows, build up the nasal cartilage at the tip of the nose, and tie it in the middle to raise the height.
2004. At that time, Gore-Tex was popular, and the number of hospitals using ear cartilage was increasing. I was the only person around who used only nasal cartilage, so would that work? I did that, but my nose got higher. Since the cartilage in the nostrils was brought up, the nostrils naturally became narrower. Perhaps they also had double nose correction??
2) After 20 years, is there any change in the shape of the nose?
there is. The tip of the nose goes down slightly.
But I think this can't be helped unless you put silicone all the way to the tip of your nose.
Moreover, as you get older, you lose a lot of facial fat, right?
It's called breast fat, right? As the plump face gradually loses elasticity and shrinks, the fat around the nose also begins to fall out. Of course, the overall nose will become a little smaller, right? The height will also be lowered.
And the shape of the nose, which was obscured by the appropriate amount of skin, is becoming more and more clearly revealed. I didn't know it when I was young, but the line on the bridge of my nose was slightly uneven.
I think it's a problem that occurs when the cartilage and tissues that are put together piece by piece settle in, but it's not that noticeable to others, you know? I can still see it with my own eyes.
But overall, there are no major deformations such as the nose being crooked, the ties coming loose, or the entire shape collapsing.
3) What are the side effects??
There are no side effects. I was really scared before the surgery because the problems of silicone see-through, puncture, and capsular contracture in the first generation of plastic surgery, in which silicone was inserted up to the tip of the nose, were just beginning to appear, but I am glad that there are no such side effects.
How many different things have happened over the past 20 years? Pressed and bumped into.
But my nose is still fine. Now it just looks like my nose.
I have rhinitis, but I don't know if it's a side effect of nose surgery because I have rhinitis to begin with.
4) Satisfaction
Overall, I am satisfied. It's so natural that no one knows you've had surgery, and there are no side effects.
If there's anything I'm dissatisfied with, it's about the shape.
My nose bridge is wide and curved?
However, if you simply pull the tip of your nose straight up toward the center, your nose will look more curved. The stomach is curved, and even if you straighten the tip, the nose will never stay straight. When you look in the mirror, it looks straight, but when you take a picture, it's very noticeable.
So, instead of simply thinking, “I just need to touch up the tip of my nose with cartilage,” I think it would be better for people with crooked noses to correct this properly and then touch up the tip of their nose.
And the volume on the left and right sides of the bridge of the nose is different. I noticed this right after the surgery, and I was scared of repeat surgery, and I just thought it was because the doctor said the surgery went well, so I moved on. But now, this is becoming a factor that makes my nose look more crooked. In a way, the human face is asymmetrical anyway, and I think that this is also one of the factors that makes it look like a natural nose, so I just live with it.
Nowadays, the technology of plastic surgeons has improved so much, and they do a lot of non-implant surgeries, so that won't happen. In particular, people with crooked noses should ask for symmetry. I don't have that much cartilage right now, so if I have to have a second surgery, I think I'll use silicone to make up the volume.
4) I’m satisfied, but why did you come to the wedding?
Because of the blind angle!!! At my time, lol, I didn't have as much knowledge about nose surgery as I do now, and I had never even heard of a nasolabial angle, but there is such a thing as a nasolabial angle?? I have a thick upper lip, so my mouth looks protruding, but as I got older and the tip of my nose sank, my mouth looked more protruding. So I looked into Bisungak hospitals and ended up here. If you know of a good hospital for Bisungak, please recommend it!!
5) What I would like to advise:
Don’t follow trends too much and find a nose that suits your face.
It seems like nose shapes also change with the times.
In the 90s, a straight and square chalk nose with a thin nose bridge, then a tabi nose like Park So-hyun's, and then a nose with a thick and slightly pointed tip like Go Hyun-jung or Moon Geun-young were popular because they were considered good for physiognomy, right? Looking at those noses now, how strange they are haha.
It seems like a straight nose is a trend these days, but we don't know what the trend will be in 10 years. So, rather than just looking at the shape of your nose and thinking you should do this, it's better to compare it to people with similar face shapes and contours and think carefully about which nose will suit you before making a decision.
And new materials must be chosen carefully. When I was doing it, Gore-Tex was introduced as if it would revolutionize the nose surgery world, but now no one uses Gore-Tex? So, I was a bit skeptical about what kind of side effects and shape changes other materials other than silicone, which has been used for a long time, would cause in 10 or 20 years.
Lastly, make sure to sell a lot to hospitals.
The hospital where I had my surgery grew in size after several mergers and closures, but now it is a completely different hospital, and the director even built a large building in Gangnam. Later, I found out that he was a great person who led the trend of large plastic surgery hospitals in Gangnam in the early days. He is still active. Judging from the fact that he was very active, it is true that he was a person with good skills, and my best friend who later worked as an interpreter at your hospital also said that you were good at surgery haha. But the catch was that the director was an eye specialist hahaha.
At the time, it wasn't the shape of the nose I wanted, and it was just like that. There were a lot of complaints because there was no dramatic change, but now I am living a healthy life without any side effects, so I am grateful that they chose
implant-free surgery. But what if there were as many plastic surgery clinics as there are now and a lot of information about surgical methods?? I think I'll probably put in a lot of effort and find the hospital that's right for me.
As I mentioned above, it’s not just about looking pretty one or two years after surgery. We are now a generation that can easily live until the age of 100. You never know what will happen to your face as you get older. So, “Turn your life around with plastic surgery!!!” Rather than approaching with the goal of "I will try to reduce dissatisfaction after surgery as much as possible," it would be better to consider everything and make a decision. In fact, among plastic surgeons, is there anyone who performs surgery with the belief that it will change the patient's life? To them, we are just one person on a crowded surgery schedule. Don't expect too much from them.
Now that I'm about to turn 40, I want to get cleft eyes and raise my nose bridge while doing nasolabial folds. But I'm already old, so what's the point of getting a knife on my face? What if I get a scar? What are the side effects?
I have a lot of thoughts, so I don't know if I will actually get plastic surgery again.
To my friends who are at an age where they are already pretty, I hope you do enough research, think a lot, and make careful decisions that will make you even prettier!!
