Hi guys I've been unhappy with my nose (after having it done twice) for a while now as well as having other concerns with my face. I started looking into plastic surgery over seas as having multiple procedures done in Australia would cost a fortune. After lots of research I decided I wanted forehead augmentation, paranasal augmentation and another nose job and I picked a hospital in South korea. I flew into Seoul last night from Australiai slept and I'm now getting ready to go have my consultation at Grand plastic surgery in Gangnam. I'm so excited and nervous and I'll be back later today to tell you how it went and the final plan stay tuned!

the consultation

After arriving at Grand hospital, a beautiful 16 or so story glass building , I was directed to the main lobby to meet with my translator. She guided me through filling out some paperwork then took me around the building to meet with my dr and then through to have a mold taken of my face for the forehead implant. For the nose I was told that they'll be taking the top of the bone off and because the sinus will be exposed they'll be Puting a silicone cover on top to make it smaller...sounds complicated right? But I have faith. The forehead implant I was able to decide exactly what shape I wanted my forehead I sais that I wanted it more volumous and built up more square on the sides and they seemed to understand perfectly. My translator spoke English perfectly and the facilities were amazing. Surgery is booked for Thursday morning. I'm just keeping busy exploring and enjoying seoul so much to see and do!

The big day

So Thursday finally came around, surgery was at 4pm, i was required to fast for 6 hours so i started at 10am. I went into the hospital at 3pm to have blood pressure tested and have a final chat with the two doctors who would be preforming the surgeries. One doctor was doing my nose and one was doing the forehead and paranasal implants. I had my translator there the whole time so nothing was lost in translation. I got changed into these pyjama type things and all my stuff was put into a locker for safe keeping and i was taken down to the operating theatre. I had to gargle this liquid afew times as the paranasal implants go through an intra-oral incision then they lay me down and started cleaning my face and seperating my hair to prepare for surgery. Then finally they put my lights out. My translator was amazing she stayed there right until the last minute and helped make me feel very comfortable and both the doctors were very good natured, supportive and professional. The surgery went for 6 hours! i woke up and was ushered to a recovery room to sleep for the night and then discharged Friday morning at 11am. I'm feeling fine so far, no pain around my head just discomfort as you can imagine, my nose is completely blocked and i have a bandage around the top half of my head, nose splint and gauze under the nose, face looks more like a balloon and some bruising under my eyes...their very purple. do we want pics of this? let me know. I'm now back in my guesthouse with lots of tv series and books to get through :) Monday afternoon i have an appointment at the hospital to have the head bandage removed so ill be back on to let you all know how that goes, speak to you all then take care
