I've benefited greatly from reading everyone's posts and reviews about their procedures and so I wanted to share my own experience in case it helps someone contemplating the procedure.
I have had L shape silicone implant and Korean style three-point positioning done in china 7,8 years ago, the thread in my eyes had fallen out a couple of years ago, I didn't bother to get it fixed, recently I have had a minor infection to my nose from the holiday traveling and drinking, it was red, hot, and I see a light brown spot forming from the tip of my nose (which is a common behavior for L shape implant when infected, it can poke out and drip out from the tip of your nose, I would never have gotten the L shape if I knew this can happen, but I had it done when I was a young and dumb and poor 17 yo)
After consulting back and forth between Dr. Charles Lee & Dr. Donald Yoo in LA, and David Kim in SF I decided to go with the one with more YOE and fewer failed cases, which is Dr. Charles Lee.
I was surprised how quickly Dr. Lee was able to perform the procedure on me, I called at the beginning of Jan, and He was able to see me and do the procedure that week, which was a red flag that almost made me panic go with Donald Yoo...
on the day of surgery, Dr. Lee had two double eyelid surgery prior to mine. I ended getting into the surgery room 2 hours later than my scheduled one at noon. I was awake when they did my eyes, the anesthesiologist injected me with fentanyl, and then all of a sudden the idea of cutting my eyes when I am awake seemed ok. After they are done with my eyes, they put me to sleep to do my rhinoplasty.
Day 0:
I went into surgery at 2 pm, my boyfriend picked me up at 7 pm. So the whole thing was 4 hours something. I went straight to sleep after I came back to the hotel.
Day 1:
Woke up around 10 am, nothing really hurts it just feels really really uncomfortable, my eyes, the nose was swelling, my cheek, lip, and upper gum were also swelling, my rib area hurts a little, more like really sore, like after an intense exercise, soI had trouble getting out of bed, (had my bf carried me in and out of bed, he has been a charm at taking care of me I feel so lucky). I had clear liquid coming out of my nose constantly.. which was annoying. I didn't want to look at myself in the mirror until night time, I looked like a bloated cadaver.
Day 2:
I am even more swollen than day 1, nose fluid and conjunction got worse. The rib feels better, I found a way to get out of bed without using my rib muscle. I know the result is not final yet, and things can change a lot when the swelling goes down, but right now my nostril is really really visible, I don't know what to expect.
