I've been always satisfied with my appearance, but...
I've been always satisfied with my appearance, but there was something about my nose that kept bothering me. I tried to hide my small defect with makeup but realized that contouring wasn't actually a solution so I just decided on rhinoplasty. I started searching for a good place and understood that the best option to get a nose job done is Seoul. I found the information about many plastic surgery clinics there and the deeper I searched the harder it was to choose, but I finalized my choice on Banobagi as found it most suitable for me, my expectations and needs.
Initially I contacted them online to set up an appointment and once the consultation day was agreed I booked air tickets and the cutdown started. Back in 2015 when plump lips trend overwhelmed the world and every beauty added more volume to their lips, I also tried different beauty hacks. I really liked the plumped lips effect but it was too short and eventually my lips lost even their natural volume. It made me to decide to get lips fillers as well.
Banobagi started impressing me from the very beginning. First, the way I was welcomed by the staff, so friendly and warmly. Second, my assistant Devon who was so nice to me and helped a lot. Third, the consultation with Dr.Lee, he was so attentive to details and answered all my questions, I could feel his professionalism and experience in every word. After the consultation I went through a medical check-up and went back to my guest house. During the consultation Dr.Lee said that it'd be better to have my last meal at least 8 hours before the op and I followed his instructions. By the time I arrived Banobagi the next morning, Devon was already waiting for me. She gave some papers to sign, I had another consultation with Dr.Lee and we discussed the details and results one more time. A bit later I met the anesthesiologist, he asked some couple of questions and Devon helped me to prepare for the operation. The operation lasted for 1,5 hours. I don't actually remember anything from the moment I was given an anesthesia shot and when I woke up I was already in my recovery room. I knew exactly where I was and what happened, didn't feel any pain but got some dizziness. The nurse tried to keep me awake and didn't allow to fall asleep again, so we made rounds in my room the next couple of hours. Since I was under general anesthesia Dr.Lee wanted me to stay there till the next morning. The first night was awful, I couldn't breathe because of cottons in my nose and had to stay in semi-sitting/semi-laying position without a possibility to turn on any side. I also wanted to call my family and talk to them but couldn't talk as my lips were swollen after filler injection.
The nurse woke me up at 6 in the morning and brought me breakfast. Later cottons were taken out and I finally could breath. Dr.Lee prescribed some medicines and painkillers in case if pain'd be unbearable and I left Banobagi. The swelling, btw was even worse and I decided to stay in the bed for the rest of the day. The next 3 days were easier, swelling was gradually gone, breathing became better and edemas turned into less-noticeable yellowish spots. I got quite weird felling as couldn't feel smells around me and my nose tip lost its sensitivity. On the 5th day after the surgery all stitches were removed and I tried to wash my head for the first time. It was quite difficult, as I had to do it very gently, trying to keep my nose as far from the water as I could. A week after I came back to Banobagi for some post op treatments and met Dr.Lee to see the progress. The swelling from the inside remained a bit longer than we were expecting and Dr.Lee wanted me to stay some more extra days. That was so nice, I could feel that Dr.Lee really cared about my improvements. Unfortunately, I couldn't change the ticket and had to leave as was planned.
During the next week Dr.Lee told to me wear a special splint when I'm outside. I also had to wear it for a month at night and still had to sleep mostly on my back. Two weeks after all signs of proceeded operation were almost gone, I could finally make a deep breath and smell everything around like it was before. My lips were gorgeous, so sexy and plump. I wanted to try a new lipstick right away but had to wait a bit more to escape any infections. My eyes, however recovered longer even though I did nothing to them lol. The redness stayed with me for 3 months, but it was only about unpleasant look.
It's been a while since I got my nose job done at Banobagi and I'm so happy now. I adore my new nose and lips, they are so proportional and make me look even prettier. I caught a cold recently for the first time after the procedure and worried about my nose, but everything was fine. The tip began to swell a bit but it was only the first day. The scar on columella is almost invisible, noticeable only from the side but already became the color of my skin. I don't regret that proceeded a rhinoplasty at Banobagi and the result definitely worth to go through all inconveniences.
