koolkloud Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I'm going to be talking about my rhinoplasty recovery journey! I'm at 3 months now, and I still have a long recovery journey. At first I was thinking between Thailand or Korea, but I chose Korea. I looked up before and after pictures online and chose few clinics. Please do your research thoroughly before you choose! This was me before my surgery. My nose bridge is almost non existent. It took me one day to do the consultation and deciding the clinic. My mind was everywhere on the day of my surgery. I was like what if I dont like the result but it was too late to back out lol. All I remember after the surgery was the room spinning and my throat being very dry. My face got super swollen on this day. I took a picture to send it my mom, and when I woke up it got even more swollen. You can see it got swollen under the eyes as well. I put the ice pack they gave around my eyes as soon as I saw it. I sent the picture to my mom, and she said I looked like I got attacked my bees. It was tiring as well because of my stuffy nose, and after around 1 week my breathing got easier and started to swell down as well. The bruise and swelling around my nose went away compared to the first few days of my journey, but I feel like it still need to reduce more, and it was still stiff. Even though I read and read that it will take up to a year to see the final result, I was still so worried that the nose I had would be my final result, because the tip was still too big. So I contacted the clinic, and guess what, they said it will need at least 3 months for the swelling to go away. I didnt feel any different compared to my week 3, tbh. The stiffness was still there too. But after comparing my photos I saw a sliiiight difference or maybe its just me. I was very cautious not to bump my nose and when I was laughing as well, because my nose was still stiff. The doctor told me to hold my nose when I laughed and it actually helped. The swelling definitely went down, and I'm quite happy with how the shape and line came out. The stiffness on my face is almost gone, and I can move my lips close to the nose as well. The scar is healing nicely. The hardest part for me was avoiding spicy food. As an Indonesian, it is nearly impossible to live without my spice. So I gave in and had my chili (it was once) XD it was the best cheat day of my life. I'm so glad I can eat whatever I want now hehehe. Anyway thats my journey so far, I will update again! Hope this will help you guys in what to expect after your surgery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolkloud Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hahahah thank you!! I did it at marble, and got "basic rhinoplasty" and osteotomy, and with ear cartilage and dermal graft because the skin on my nose is thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolkloud Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 My selfies came out nice today and I also wanted to show you guys my progress hehehe. I'm still very gentle with my nose when I wash my face and do my make up, and the scar doesnt show when I wear makeup. I thought the swelling has gone away last time, but it went away even more. If I see it now my nose at my 3 months was still swollen. My nose still needs to swell down a bit more because my nose still looks big from the side. My mom said it looks nice and I'm thinking too much, but I think it will be perfect when it swells down even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessicat_06 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Your nose is beautiful. Really can see a huge difference in the bridge and overall structure of the nose. Congrats on your successful procedure Which surgeon did your nose? And how much did they charge you altogether? I haven't heard much about Marble but I'll look into it for sure!
