Great Augmentation Nose Job Dr Lee Hyuntaek
Hello! This is gonna be my second review on RealSelf and I’m happy to share this experience with anyone who is interested in getting this procedure. I’ve been always kind of insecure about my nose. Although, I did have some nose bridge it wasn’t high enough and alars were too wide. After many comparisons and research, I finally decide to go with dr Lee at banobagi plastic surgery in Seoul, South Korea.
Dr Lee’s clinic and staff were very professional and informative. Preop I was asked my permission for using before and after photos and I also allowed to share my results though their social media to show other potential patients my outcome. Our consultation started with asking me what I wan to be changed – I wished for the tip to be sharper, nostrils narrower and the bridge a bit higher. Hopefully, everything could be achieved with I surgery.
Type of my surgery: augmentation rhinoplasty (with inserting a silicone implant)
Price: $4,300 with discount (allowed to use my photos)
Dr Lee mentioned that the recovery time for the swelling to disappear is about 2 weeks. The only main thing he advised was not to wear glasses for at least 1 month or it would interfere with the implant position. Since I had some other procedures done at the same time I wasn’t allowed to sleep on my back or sides for a few weeks, so I used an airplane neck pillow to make it more comfortable.
The first night after everything was done was like a horror, very swollen, unable to breathe and with an awful discomfort. For 1 day I stayed in the hospital for hospitalization and during those days my nose was blocked with cotton tampons. On the day of discharged after dr Lee checked up on me a nurse finally removed those tampons and I could make, with lot of efforts long-waiting breath. After that I felt way better and day after day swelling from inside on my nose gradually faded away. A week after I came for outer stitches removal from columella and another week later inner stitches were removed after which my recovery became faster.
Now it’s been almost 4 months post op and I feel great. For about a month my tip was numb which actually scared me a lot but I was told that it was totally fine to experience after a surgery I underwent. After about 5-6 weeks I started to feel slight tingling with itching feelings and by month 3 everything was totally gone. I have attached my before and after photos, hope they help you! Cheers!
