Asian Rhinoplasty in Seoul Review
Many people want to change at least 1 part of their body and I’m not an exception. A low nose bridge runs in the family from my dad’s side. When I was 17 I got my first rhinoplasty consultation. My parents had legal custody over me and was against surgery so I had to postpone the surgery a bit. By that time, the surgeon I had a consultation with moved to another country and my attempts to find him were futile but the search helped me to find a better doctor. It was Dr.Lee from BANOBAGI plastic surgery, Seoul. He was very attentive during our first consultation, explained everything in great details to me and showed my nose in a computer simulation where he showed how to make my nose look better and how it would look afterwards which was pretty interesting and fascinating. The price was about 6,ooo bucks for everything (including hospitalization and translator), very reasonable and even cheaper than in the US. After the consultation I paid the rest part (the first few thousands we deposited before coming), took all necessary body tests and we set a surgery day for the next morning.
The operation was done under general anesthesia for about 2 hours. A nurse woke me up when everything was done and helped to get to my recovery room. I felt a bit of weakness and dizziness – consequences of anesthesia I suppose. My nose was wrapped into gauze, bandages and a special cover and tampons were blocking breathing preventing bleeding. I could breath only with mouth and that was what I consider to be the most unpleasant moment, as breathing with mouth was very uncomfortable especially while eating but it was quite possible to bear a day.
Six hours later I completely recovered after anesthesia and was allowed to return to my hotel. The next day I came back to the clinic to remove cottons and it became much easier to breathe. A cover couldn’t be removed for a week so that bones and cartilage fused well. I didn’t have any terrible bruising under my eyes only swelling and unpleasant feeling because of itching under the cover. A week after it was removed and I could finally see my new nose. Half an hour I was staring at the mirror and enjoying the result. My nose became so neat with high and straight bridge, and elegant and narrow tip, very natural look. During the second week I visited banobagi for a few times to proceed several post-op treatments to improve healing and swelling, as the nose’s sensitiveness is not restored immediately and a month after there already left almost nothing that could remind me about proceeded surgery.
I’m so happy and satisfied with my new nose. Rhinoplasty gave me an opportunity to change my appearance, get rid of shortcomings and defects.
