[My nose before surgery]
I had a melting nose filler + thread 13 years ago, and it didn't melt 100%.
My nose bridge is on the high side, and the tip of my nose fell a little bit, so I always regretted it, but it wasn't enough to get a nose job. I only had the tip of my nose lifted with a few threads, but it felt like it would fall off after 6 months, so I looked into nose tip surgery several times.
[Review]
I made a consultation appointment for the first time, but since it was a new surgery, I had a lot of questions and doubts about the method. The consultation went like this: nose photo -> director consultation -> director consultation -> director consultation -> director consultation. The director consulted with me while looking at my nose and told me whether to do only the tip of my nose, a beak, nose tip reduction, or nose bridge. He showed me the after picture while changing the shape of my nose with Photoshop. (The surgery was done similar to the one I had Photoshopped.) After the director's consultation, I met with the director again to discuss the cost, whether to have surgery, and any other questions I had. The director recommended a beak trim + nose tip nose gel nose + nose tip cartilage tying. Inside, I thought, "I have a hooked nose??? Is this the first time I've heard of it?" But when I looked at the picture, the line wasn't smooth, and the hooked nose was not sure if the thread was melted or if it was bone, so if it was thread, I would remove it, and if it was a hooked nose, I would trim it slightly. I said I wouldn't get the cartilage tied because I was afraid it would make my nose crooked. That's it.
After the consultation, I looked for before and after reviews on the doctor's YouTube, blogs, and plastic surgery apps, and I thought about it for over a month before making a decision and set the date of the surgery. In my case, I've had thread and filler multiple times, so additional procedures were burdensome, and since it was a choice between surgery and just living, I decided to have the surgery with the thought, "If it fails, I'll just have it removed." In fact, I just hoped for the best and acted like a fool.
[Day of surgery]
Since it's general anesthesia,
I wrote a consent form
for fasting, washed my face, and waited in the recovery room. Entered
the operating room.
The doctor came and designed my nose
. Two nurses from the operating room helped prepare for the surgery, and they asked me various questions to help me relax. But it was still scary...
The doctor
made me sleep naturally, without my nose ringing, until just before the anesthesia came back in. I remember
walking to the recovery room, but I don't remember.
The tip of my nose was taped, but it looked like it was tightly held, and my nose and ears didn't hurt. I slept for another 30 minutes in the recovery room and then went to eat meat.
[Day 1]
No swelling, no bruising. I had to go to work, so I wrapped my ears in plastic, bowed my head to wash my hair, put on a mask, and went to work. I didn't have any pain in my nose or ears, and I felt lethargic the whole time because the medicine he gave me was strong.
[Day 2]
No swelling, no bruising. I went out to meet a friend and he complimented me on how well I did.
My ear was bandaged, so I couldn't hear well out of one ear, and that was really uncomfortable.
[Day 3]
The day the tape was removed. I was really nervous. When they took the tape off, there was a small yellow bruise on the bridge of my nose where they had trimmed the beak, and there was no bruise or swelling on the tip of my nose, so the director said I was suited for surgery. The front view was almost unchanged, but the side view definitely changed, so it was amazing. I took off the ear bandage, disinfected it while it was still stitched, and went back to my ears. From then on, I felt a sharp, cold pain in my ears.
[~7th day]
The day I got my stitches out. I was able to put on makeup and gently cleanse my face every day, and the swelling continued to go down. I skipped my nose because it was a melting thread, and I was so scared of having my stitches pulled out that I trembled. I kept feeling warm and tingling. I took an after picture and went to the doctor, and he said it went well, and I could clearly see the before and after in my eyes. I said thank you and went back to my ears.
[~2nd week]
I kept applying ointment to my ears and nose, and I looked in the mirror a lot. People around me couldn't even imagine that I had surgery, and they only asked me, "Did you lose weight?" People were less interested in my nose than I thought. My friends who had nose jobs told me that it went really well, and the short downtime was a huge advantage.
Personally, I think it's best to just buy it because there are a lot of side effects and reviews of reoperations. If you've come this far and searched, you're more than 90% sure you want to get a nose job. If you need a change in your overall appearance, open surgery is
the way to go. If you're thinking about fillers and threads, then Nose Gel is fine. I think side effects occur in stages. It's a hit or miss, so I'll take precautions and hope I don't get them...
1st. Side effects right after surgery
-> Inflammation, contracture, shape loss, etc...
-> Try your best and see if the nose shape you want is the same as the director's. Choosing a hospital is important.
2nd. Shape change after a few years
-> Decide after referring to long-term reviews of each surgery method.
I was worried about the side effects of the second surgery, so I was worried, but I decided to do it because I thought it would be the end if I thought about open surgery as the last resort. Fortunately, my satisfaction level is very high so far.
End...
