Asian Rhinoplasty 24 Female Silicone/Ear Cartilage Tip

I've always wanted a rhinoplasty for as long as I can remember. My nose was very crooked and pretty flat. As a model and also a pageant competitor, it has always been difficult to find my angles and almost always edit my photos to at least make the bridge higher to hide the bridge bump and wonkiness. I've put this procedure off for years and years despite being able to do so because it's pretty hard to find a doctor in the US that specializes in Asian Rhinoplasty, I've always watched Dr. Yoo's videos but I know how pricey it is to get a nose job in Beverly Hills so I knew that wasn't gonna be an option. While I was researching through real self and reading about Dr. Yoo's work, I was suggested Dr. Jafaar in Centuria Medical Makati.

After watching countless videos of rhinoplasty recovery on YouTube, I was totally convinced that it would be a painful disgusting process. I’m really shocked that my experience has been overwhelmingly pleasant. The actual procedure was almost completely painless (stubbing my toe was a hundred times worse), I remember I was so nervous and shakey because I was afraid that the local anesthesia injection would hurt. Everyone else that had rhinoplasty done under local anesthesia said it’s the worst pain they’ve ever felt. Dr. Jafaar started with harvesting cartilage from my ear and I waited for the pain from injecting local anesthesia but I felt nothing after an initial feeling of an ant bite. I kept wondering if the injection was done and only knew it was when I heard everything going on in my ear. Same thing for my nose, it only felt like ant bites as the needle goes in but thats really it. Since my procedure was done under local anesthesia, I was feeling like myself quicker. I didn’t feel much pain, just soreness the first night and as soon as I woke up the sore uncomfortable feeling was gone. I do look a little funny because my face is really swollen and a teeny bit of bruising (barely) under my eyes.

Still no pain, swelling has gone down a bit and no visible bruising. I’ve been drinking pineapple juice because I heard it really helps with swelling and making sure I take all the prescribed medication on time. I also clean my nose and apply ointment using the supplies in the aftercare kit provided by Dr. Jaafar. I haven’t seen any blood or anything leaking from my nose or sutures at all so it’s been a breeze to clean. I’ll be at my first follow up appointment today at 2pm.
