Hi~ It may be a little awkward because I don't have writing skills, but I've gotten a lot of help by reading here haha. I thought my review might be helpful to someone, so I'm going to work up the courage to write it down.
First of all, I... I don't think my nose was that ugly even before the surgery. However, since I have dark double eyelids, does the low bridge of my nose feel strangely unharmonious? Every time I looked in the mirror or took a picture, I kept feeling a little disappointed. My friends tried to tell me that it wasn't a hooked nose and that the shape itself didn't require surgery... But in the first place, only you understand your own complex, haha! Since my nose looked disappointing, I was also concerned about the blunt and wide nostrils.. Yeah haha. Then, when I came to my senses, I was already looking for a hospital haha
. First of all, I was dissatisfied with the height rather than the shape of my nose.. I guess it's a common thing these days to have self-respect and flashy behavior. I wanted a line ㅜ I don't have a nose bridge, so I got surgery, but I thought I would regret it a hundred times later if I did it naturally without being noticeable. After reading the reviews, I think this is the style I like... So, I went to bed while looking at the reviews - they have had a lot of fancy surgeries and are often sought after for reoperations. I mainly chose hospitals! It's my first surgery, but I heard a lot of people say that the hospitals that are good at reoperations are more meticulous.
First of all, I started consulting with a few places like this, but at some hospitals that don't take Citi, they first decided on the septum and cartilage, opened the nose in the operating room, and checked the septum. If it is not enough, you can use rib. Before entering the operating room, sign a consent form to use a donated rib if the nasal septum is insufficient. But I thought this was too irresponsible,,? Haha, I don't know about the nasal septum right now. I need to get a CT scan to find out, so I'll go into the operating room, take a look, and if it's not enough, I'll use a donor rib. There were several hospitals like this. I went there because they said it was a hospital that was popular for reoperations, but if I didn't even get a CT scan and consult... is this really a good hospital for reoperations? I was wondering... (I don't know what it's like for patients receiving reoperation consultations)
Are all hospitals like this? I see.. I was doing this and the last consultation was ㄹㅂㄹ, but it was a bit difficult to make a reservation here in the first place, so I visited with half instructions and half expectations. But I definitely understood why it was difficult to make a reservation. There are a lot of people looking for both first-time or second-time patients, but the consultation itself was very systematic, thorough, and detailed. To be honest, I didn't expect much from the consultation because it was a busy hospital, but it was nice that the consultation was much longer and more detailed than other hospitals where I was busy. I
drew up a chart, took pictures, and then went to City. He took pictures, but I knew for the first time at this hospital that they take CT pictures before nose surgery. (Other hospitals only take pictures and do not provide consultation or take pictures.) After receiving consultation from the director, I went to see the director, and the director first looked at my nose here and there with his eyes. After checking, he uploaded the photo and the city and explained it step by step by drawing on it. He explained everything from start to finish, including the nose design and the required silicone height, as well as the type of ribs, so I understood everything~? It was nice that you asked.
I can fully use the nasal septum while watching Citi, but since the nose style I want and the height are a bit high... The director recommended using the rib cage because she thought it would sag later. Wow, I felt relieved. It wasn't a consultation I wasn't sure about, but it was the first time in a long time that I was blocked like this. I felt like it was a waste of all the trouble I had to endure in front of him after listening to the consultation that I didn't have. I couldn't help but naturally be drawn to this hospital... The director was also passionate about coordinating the date and informed me of everything in detail, so I immediately placed the deposit and scheduled the surgery date!
After the surgery, actually, rather than the nose pain, the discomfort from the autologous rib collection site and the cotton stuffed in my nose was more important. I wonder why a wound the size of a fingernail hurts so much..^^ㅋ I endured it by turning on the humidifier and taking painkillers, but it went away quickly... Still, after the surgery, I had 3 The first few days were a bit difficult haha. However, the moment I took off the splint and looked at my nose for the first time, I completely forgot about all the hardships haha. Compared to others, I didn't have as many bruises and I think there was less swelling.
At the time, I thought there was no swelling at all after a week, so I thought I could put on makeup and go outside right away, but now that I look at it like this, I can see that it is definitely higher than it is now and there is some minor swelling haha. As expected, swelling is swelling. After that, I went for a walk every night and went to the hospital. I went through the treatment and treatment regularly, and the height quickly settled down and the swelling went down quickly. The area where the rib was harvested was very small, and the director took great care and sewed it up nicely, so it's not noticeable now and I don't have to worry about it. Hey haha, I guess it takes time to deal with swelling and recovery hahaha. This is why everyone tells you to go to as many places as possible for consultations and compare them. I hope you, too, don't be swayed too much by what the doctors say, but look after yourselves as thoroughly as possible and get surgery at a place you can trust!
