My Personal Rhinoplasty Story

to be honest i proceeded several operations at once including lipo and jaw reduction but i guess nose was the most important for me. starting from middle school almost all made fun of my nose. i was short and pretty chubby with very low nose bridge and a bit upturned tip and in terms of my relatively huge face my nose looked very small. my whole life i’ve been very self-conscious of my body and my face.
i’d always hated myself and one day when i was too tired of looking at previous me in the mirror I decided to start taking steps to finally change my life. it was quite a journey for me filled with pain, fear and uncertainty but eventually it built a new me strong and confident.
i consulted with banobagi who came highly recommended by some of my friends whom i found on different forums. i felt comfortable enough to travel to south korea for my dream.
frankly speaking i wasn’t nervous before the surgery at all. i think i hated my nose for too long to be scared of a surgery that could finally change my life to the better.
it was very ordinary augmentation rhinoplasty and since i proceeded some other procedures at the same time it was performed under general anesthesia. waking up was somewhat unpleasant. i felt very sick and had terrible headache. my nose was fully covered so i had to breath with my mouth which made my throat very dry. the first few days were the worst and the most painful was removing cotton tampons the next morning. 5 days later outer stitches from columella were removed as well as cast and i could finally see my nose. it was beautiful, very swollen but still beautiful! I also got few inner stitches which were removed another week later. about 3 weeks from my surgery including lipo and jaw reduction i returned home.
as time passed by i felt better and better. some of my friends were shocked how dramatically i changed. i don’t mind telling my story and sharing my experience as i do believe it can inspire and give hope to someone like me in the past.
