I had a nose job at a plastic surgery clinic called Laprin in Cheongdam. It’s already been two months.
The reason I’m writing this is because I hope that there won’t be any more victims like me.
In conclusion, the princess nose (lifting the tip of the nose with thread) and the scarless nostril reduction I received there were restored.
Later, I found out that the doctor who did my surgery was an ENT specialist, and when I visited the hospital two weeks after the surgery, he said he had already quit.
Why did he remove it?
First, he explained the surgical method to me differently. He said that he would do the princess nose with injections, and that the scarless nostril would move the tissue.
However, I found out that… the princess nose was done by making an incision in the upper part of the nose and inserting the lifting thread, and the nostril reduction was done by tying it with thread. The idea of tissue movement seems like a made-up story.
Second, when they tied the nostrils with thread for the nostril reduction, it was painful every time I laughed. It was painful even when I ate. It’s been two months, and I still feel numb. And I couldn't sleep at night because of inflammation inside my nose.
Third, my image changed so much. After getting a princess nose, my impression became fierce. Because of this, I stayed at home for two weeks. On hot summer days.
Fourth, the nostril reduction had no effect at all. My original nose width was 4.0 cm, and they said they would make it 3.2 cm, but in 3 days, it went back to 4.0 cm, so in the end, I ended up just tying it up with thread inside my nose...
.....
When I visited the hospital again... The hospital doctor already treated me as a complaining customer who wanted to get rid of me, not as a customer. Since
I had already paid all the treatment costs, he was just trying to finish it as well as possible... When I said my nose was really sore and irritated...
he said, "You're sensitive. You should be dating. Why do you keep coming here..." and treated me like a strange woman. When
I realized it wasn't working out, I went back to see my mother... Only then did she soften up a little...
The doctor said that the "retired doctor" was his friend, and that there were no problems with the surgery. He said that since I quit due to personal reasons, shouldn't I take care of the after-sales service? He treated people's noses like they were objects.
Think about it. My nose is wounded and it hurts, and the inside of my nose is still bleeding... So I asked him what to do...
In a cold and ruthless manner... He said that we can just fix it again...
The nose is in the center of the face. If something goes wrong... It could be a really big wound for an unmarried woman, but
the doctor just... talked to me like someone would tie up a piece of cloth and then rip it off... Very simply.
In the end... After thinking it over for several days and nights... I decided to take the thread off my nose...
When I went to get the surgery... the doctor at the hospital said, "Since you asked me to take it off, I'll take it off... Sign a paper saying that it's okay if there's a problem..."
After untying the thread... I told the nurse, "Show me the threads, they're gone"... ...
While the doctor was suturing... "From now on, we should film all this... to promote the hospital..." he hummed along with the nurse. The mental pain and worries I, as a patient, felt like I was being treated as a means to make money rather than a patient.
Did they not anesthetize my nose? Did they do something wrong while untying the threads... It really hurt.
When you watch a gangster movie... there's an expression that says "get your nose cut off."
It felt like I was being treated like that. It felt like the flesh inside my nose was cut. It seemed like they made an incision inside to untie the threads.
I thought that in a plastic surgery clinic, with just a business card that says "doctor," they have the right to touch a person's face... and do whatever they want with it.
There was nothing I could do on the operating table.
All I could do was pray that the surgery would go well.
Anyway,
two weeks passed. When I went back to the hospital because it was still hurting and itching...
the doctor had the same attitude. Of course it hurts... "Are you a superwoman? You had surgery and it didn't hurt at all?"
I still remember the doctor's words and the look in his eyes.
Two months later. Still....my nostrils are different on both sides.
Thank goodness....I didn't put in silicone or foreign substances (cartilage)...I just tied the thread and pulled it out, so the damage wasn't that big. They look
similar on the outside, but if you look inside the nose, the incision area is swollen...so my nostrils are sagging. ㅜ.ㅜ
But...I realized so much from this plastic surgery, so if there's anyone thinking about getting plastic surgery, I'd like to give them the following advice
. 1. When you go to get a consultation with a plastic surgeon, remember this.
The doctor will recommend a surgery that will make them a lot of money rather than a necessary surgery. They will also recommend unnecessary surgeries.
For example...to someone who just needs a little nose correction...they'll put in silicone, reduce the nostrils, make the tip of the nose straighter, etc.
The reason? There's only one. Money.
A person's life depends on their face. .... Doctors add one surgery after another to make 500,000 won or 1 million won more..... They add this and that surgery to people's faces.
2. What I realized after getting plastic surgery is that rather than becoming beautiful through plastic surgery............
a natural individuality. is much more attractive. It's also attractive. (You'll understand quickly if you look at the failed cases of celebrity plastic surgery.)
3. Plastic surgery........ don't believe the perfect before and after photos.
When you actually see a face that has had plastic surgery, it looks unnatural. And....... even if it looks pretty in photos, putting implants on your face your whole life, and worrying about getting another surgery your whole life........ giving the doctor a chance to make money?
What I realized after getting surgery........ once you get plastic surgery, you can't help but get it again. Then you get manipulated by the hospital doctor. That's
because no matter how much ordinary people study, they don't know why their skin changes like this, or why their nose or eye shape becomes like this.
If the surgery goes well, it doesn't matter, but if it doesn't go well, you have to keep wandering around looking for a doctor who will do the second surgery.
Also, from my experience, when I go for a second surgery consultation, some doctors immediately tell me to "get out." They ask why I have to fix what someone else fixed.
4. No one among doctors is a veteran from the beginning. You could become a subject of training.
The ENT specialist who fixed me and went to another hospital is still working at a different plastic surgery clinic.
He must have moved to another hospital because he was a rookie. That's why I thought I was a subject of training.
Think about it. I became a rhinoplasty surgeon... and when I tried to make money, I ended up getting my eyes and jaw done... But some of my patients were
probably my first patients. The reason why plastic surgery is more likely to go well is because not all doctors are veterans. Also, because we, the patients, know this, we advertise and promote it so much these days.
5. It was so painful.
I've never had surgery before. In my life. But I got a nose job. My nose kept bleeding for a week.
After getting the nose job, my mouth, cheeks, and nerves were all sore because they were all touched. Since I already had the surgery, I guess I had no choice but
to endure the pain. If your face isn't so weird that you absolutely have to get it done, think about whether you can endure the pain.
For reference, I had to stay home for 2 weeks to a month, so I realized how happy the little things in life were.
People stared at me when I wore a mask. So I just stayed home. I couldn't shower or swim.
I couldn't go to a coffee shop that other people went to.
I couldn't drink alcohol or eat salty food because I was afraid of getting an infection.
I remember those days when I was always alone.
I talked a lot... Anyway, I sincerely hope that this article will be helpful to someone.
The result of my naive idea of becoming pretty was that I lost 1.8 million won. I suffered mentally for 1-2 months and cried a lot. I should be thankful that it ended like this.
Can I really get a refund if I sue the consumer protection agency? ㅜ/ㅜ ...That hospital over-advertised............ㅜ.ㅜ
Fortunately, I didn't turn into a monster.....I was able to go to work, meet old acquaintances, and live a normal life.
