Surgery Day
ORIGINAL POST
Surgery Day
WORTH IT
My surgery was scheduled for Monday, January 26th. And honestly, we all love starting something “new” at the beginning of a new week… or even a new month, right? Just kidding haha
They say winter is actually the perfect time for procedures/surgeries like this because there’s supposedly less swelling and the recovery process can be a little more comfortable.
My surgeries were scheduled for early morning, and from midnight that night I wasn’t allowed to eat or drink anything. Also, if you have gel nails, extensions, etc you need to have them removed beforehand. And obviously, all jewelry has to come off right before surgery.
The clinic was located in Nonhyeon, and since my surgery was so early in the morning, I decided to book a hotel nearby. I knew the day was going to be long, and I wanted to get at least a little bit of rest beforehand. Plus, it meant avoiding the morning rush on the subway and traffic on the roads. Honestly, I highly recommend doing this if you have an early-morning surgery!
I walked to the clinic from my hotel it took maybe 7 minutes, max. When I arrived, they greeted me at the reception, and my translator was already there waiting for me. I changed, did all the necessary pre-op stuff blah blah blah… let’s skip those boring details and get to the interesting part ..
Just like before jumping out of a plane, or walking across the outside of the Lotte World Tower in Jamsil ( which I did lol ) there are always papers you have to sign saying that you understand all the possible risks and complications and that you’re giving your consent. Same thing here. A clinic staff member took me and my translator into a room where they explained all the possible risks and complications to me both for my nose and my breasts.
Was I nervous hearing all of that? Honestly… not really. Before surgery, you kind of just try to focus on the best possible outcome and not think too much about everything that could go wrong. But personally, I was actually really glad they explained everything to me. I’m an adult, and my body is not something to mess around with So I wanted to know exactly what I was agreeing to.
And huge thanks to my translator because she explained everything so clearly. I didn’t leave with a million questions in my head like,“Wait… what exactly did I just sign? What’s going to happen?”
I then met with both surgeons the breast surgeon and the nose surgeon.They made all the necessary markings on my face and body and went over everything briefly one last time.The breast surgeon smiled sweetly and said,“See you soon”..And the nose surgeon told me “ I’ll do my best” to make me comfortable
A little later, it was finally time.
I walked into the operating room with my translator, and because I’m a total neat freak and a little bit of a clean freak , I immediately started looking around the room there were SO many machines and little pieces of equipment, everything neatly organized and perfectly arranged. And what really surprised me was how many people were in the room! There were four nurses there at that moment.
I’ll be honest I was a little scared of general anesthesia. I was worried about how it would feel, whether I’d panic while falling asleep, whether I’d somehow wake up during surgery…Thanks, Jessica Alba haha for that movie I watched as a teenager I still remember it to this day
But honestly? There was nothing to worry about
Everything is monitored, there are all these machines tracking your vitals, and the anesthesiologist is right there with you.
I was lying on the operating table. I wasn’t actually scared maybe just a little nervous?? and mostly thinking,“Wait… I’m really here. This is actually happening” haha I was about to make a few little changes so I could shine even brighterThen the anesthesiologist came in. My translator told me they were about to start the anesthesia. He came over to me and said in English: “Everything is going to be okay” He started administering the anesthesia, and at that exact moment, I looked over at my translator standing by the door near my feet…
…and then I was OUT haha That’s literally the last thing I remember. And just like that, my morning on surgery day was over)
