I got plastic surgery in my early 30s with the sole purpose of becoming prettier.
The swelling still needs to go down a bit more, but if I may tell you what I’ve felt so far,
it was really hard until the first week
. For two days, I had to have cotton in my nose, I couldn’t wash it, and
there were stitches in my eyes, so it might have been uncomfortable, but
what was harder than that was the swelling and bruising that made my face look ugly.
The entire area below my eyebrows was covered in yellow bruises (my face is the color of pumpkin soup haha) and
the swelling went down to my chin, giving me a square jaw and making me look like a hamster.
It was worse than what I saw in vlogs or blog reviews.
I think it was less noticeable because those people used an app to film themselves.
It’s hard to deal with this face.
I thought the community wouldn’t come after I got plastic surgery,
but I was worried that the changes caused by the bruising and swelling would go back to how they were. I thought
my life was over haha.
Of course, there will be swelling after plastic surgery, right? Before, I felt like people who posted about it were being hasty, but
now that I'm the person involved, I understand their feelings.
I was so scared that the surgery might have gone wrong.
I started to worry about side effects from even the smallest things, and it actually became harder than before the surgery
. At that time, I already looked into side effect surgeries. ㅎㅎㅎ
I would look in the mirror all day,
compare my condition to other people's reviews, and
I really hated myself for looking in the mirror all the time except when I was sleeping. ㅠㅠ
The swelling still needs to go down, but it
looks much more natural than it did in the first or second week, and the bruises have disappeared, so I'm doing well in my daily life!
It would be nice if I could immediately notice the changes and side effects caused by the swelling,
but most surgeries are only successful when the swelling completely goes down, so it's frustrating.
In the past, I thought that plastic surgery was something you could get if you had money, but I
think it takes a lot of courage and being ready to accept my changed face.
Rather than looking in the mirror with a blank expression, I'm
going to practice pretty expressions and leave it to time! I'm going to focus more on my life!
They say that a natural and successful plastic surgery is one that leaves a little regret
, so rather than hoping for perfect symmetry and shape,
I'm going to try to embrace my natural appearance
without getting caught up in plastic surgery anymore . I'm already satisfied that I was able to overcome my complex with just one surgery on my eyes and nose.
My bare face used to be flat, so I had to put on makeup to make it look three-dimensional, but
now I feel like I look three-dimensional even without makeup, which is nice~~!
As I get older, I wanted to minimize my makeup, and I think I'll be able to do that in the futureㅎㅎ
It hasn't been that long for me either, but when I look back at the picture from week 1,
I don't want to go back to that time... I don't want to experience that hardship again...
I also have to stop working for that amount of timeㅠㅠ
Ah
, at first, I wanted to put in a lot of silicone for my nose job, but I wanted to minimize the side effects, so I did it without implants.
For a coward and someone with a lot of worries like me,
I think it's much better psychologically to minimize the risk in life (if you're satisfied with your nose bridge-)
The psychological stress after plastic surgery is no joke... I keep worrying!
Even during the surgery, people asked me how I decided to have the surgery when I was so scared. Haha.
Even I thought my courage was amazing....
I hope everyone makes a good decision and gets a surgery that will help them overcome their complexes! :)
