Since childhood, I have had difficulty breathing through my left nostril. In particular, when I drank, cried, or developed allergic rhinitis, my nose got completely stuffed and I made a stuffy sound. Even
when I went to karaoke with my friends and sang passionately, my nose got stuffy and made a stuffy sound.
I went to a local otolaryngology clinic and was told that it was due to a deviated septum.
I was told that the cartilage inside my nose was bent, but I was worried about the surgery, so I couldn't do it right away. I thought about it for about two years and then had the surgery.
For two years, I received consultations at about 14 famous plastic surgery and otolaryngology clinics in Gangnam, Sinsa, Apgujeong, and Cheongdam.
The reason I consulted with a plastic surgeon was because I thought it would be a good idea to slightly raise my nose during surgery, right
? We all do that, right? Haha
, so cosmetic surgery is good at plastic surgery, and functional surgery is good at otolaryngology, so I went to a lot of consultations at both places.
What I wanted from rhinoplasty was to make it as natural as possible,
so that people who see it for the first time would not know that I had plastic surgery, and
I made the hooked beak subtly, making it look a little manly!
Gently touch your nose,
no incision marks! It was.. There’s a lot you want, right..? Haha,
because there were so many things wanted, many hospitals were excluded through the elimination method and only a few hospitals remained. The reason I had the surgery at Lievens was for a simple reason.
1. I looked at the review photos and it looked very natural.
2. It was operated without an accident for over 10 years by a single director.
3. I looked at other reviews, and although there were a few comments like the director being harsh, etc., there was nothing saying that nose surgery couldn't be done.
I thought that
the most important thing was that the doctor performed the surgery well and provided good follow-up care,
but that such things were minor. Currently, it has been over 6 months since the surgery at Lievens ENT Clinic.
I have a droopy nose tip, so I have heard many times in my life that I have presbyopia and that it makes my face look longer.
Should I say the animal is a walrus trunk? Haha,
it's nice that my nose feels refreshed after the surgery.
I thought my nose would be hard after the surgery, but it's surprisingly soft. I don't try to make a pig's nose on purpose, but it's possible if you try it.
The reactions of people around me are that he looks handsome, but I can't pinpoint it, that he seems to have lost weight, or was his nose always pretty?
This reaction is
so natural that you almost don't know you've had surgery.
I was very worried that the surgery would be noticeable, but
I am very happy that my natural appearance is flawless.
I had a deviated septum and inferior turbinate resection and am satisfied with my current condition. I'm the type of person who worries a lot, so I was worried about empty nose syndrome, but I'm glad it's not overdone!
Especially at night, I had trouble sleeping before going to bed because I had difficulty breathing, but
now that I can breathe easily, I can sleep well!
I should have had surgery a long time ago haha

Additionally, a donor rib was used to raise the tip of the nose.
I asked about the donor rib on YouTube and at hospitals, and there were a lot of negative opinions, so I was really worried, but after the surgery, it was fine. I
thought it would be hard, but it was soft. The
