My Age -25, Surgery I Underwent – Rhinoplasty
I want to share my experience about getting nose job with Dr. Hyuntaek Lee, a facial plastic surgeon in Seoul. I truly can't imagine having a better experience or result even despite the fact that recovery for me was pretty brutal. Like most people here, I was quite self conscious about my nose. While friends were playfully tease me, deep inside I felt very insecure and hated taking photos from the side and at the age of 23 my parents finally let me to get a nose job done. It took me over a year to find a surgeon that would fit all my needs and I even travelled to South Korea to meet him.
Going for my first ever consultation, thousands questions didn't let me go, like what if it becomes even worse? What if I’d need a revision? What if I don’t like the result? Most importantly, what if my new nose wouldn’t fit my face? From the very beginning I confidently told Dr. Lee what I was looking for and what kind of a result I expect, like upturned nose with smaller bridge and neat tip. Basically, he agreed with everything and could understand all my needs.
My surgery was few days after and when I came I was really, really nervous. I was scared of anesthesia but his staff was super kind and patient to me, that put me at ease and calmed down a little. My assistant Regina chatted to me, making sure that I feel comfortable enough. I was afraid that once I wake up I’d be in a lot of pain but Dr. Lee calmed me down, promising to be as gently as possible. Anesthesia shot knocked me out and from that moment I remember absolutely nothing.
I woke few hours later from a voice calling my name, it was Regina. From her I found out that my surgery was over and everything went very smoothly then a nurse helped me to get back to my recovery room. I wasn’t in pain at all, but couldn’t breath and my throat was very sore. The first night I spent there. In the morning cottons were removed and Dr. Lee came to check up on me. The first week was the worst. Most of the time I had to breath my mouth, as my nose was pretty swollen from the inside as well. My lips were super dry! From time to time I had terrible headache, not even sure was it because of anesthesia or just one of surgery’s side effects. After a week a cast that covered my nose was removed and could finally see it! Although, it was quite swollen, the shape was significantly changed and I liked it a lot. On 10th day all stitches were removed and on week 2 I flew back to States.
For 3-4 months my tip was very solid and numb and swelling wend down differently from both nostrils which made me think that they became asymmetrical. By month 5 everything was all 100 back to normal.
Next month it’s gonna be a year since my operation and I’m so infinitely happy. I think I made the right decision. Attach all pics below.
