Here is my ten month photo update!!


before surgery i had hump and bulbous, droopy pic. i delete most my old pics but actually its more worse in person than this photo! ( not smiling, if i smile, then my nose become the arrow nose... so i make small smile in photos before)

after surgery (big smiling! now i can smile in photos and i dont worry about the long nose!!!) i am so happy with my nose. i wish i had better picture to show the change, but i want to erase all memory of my beofre nose, so i delete all the pictures!

everyone say i look soo much younger and so much more feminine. actually sometimes a guy will ask me if i have a boyfriend haha i am not sure if it is because of just the change of my nose, but i think also because the change in my overall confidence.

i am very happy and thankful to doctor and staff at gng hospital. i hope this helps everyone or anyone. i know when i was deciding i had a lot of stress too

good luck!!!!

Hello guys

My English isn't perfect, but I will write as long of a review as I can to talk about my experience. I have been using this forum for my reseasrch for a long time, and I always promised myself I would give back to the community cause I recived a lot of help from you guys. I spent about 4 years thinking about plastic surgery and 2 years actually looking into it and looking into which place was the best for me.

My surgeries of choice
1. Nose. I had a huge hump nose for as long as I could remember and on top of that my nose was like an arrow whenever i would smile. i had to get rid of it because it was such a problem for me when i was smiling or laughing. I felt like my nose was like a strong arrow and thats all everyone could see. Most importantly, it was all that I could see when ever I looked at my photos. I used to purposely smile iwthout showing teeth because I worried if I showed my teeth then my nose would become more arrow with a bigger smile. Hope that makes sense >< I dont know how to explain it well

2. Eyes. I never really knew what ptosis was. I always though I just needed eyelid surgery to correct my asymmetry. One of my eyelid is ok but the other is not and its like sunken. But after years of research I realized I needed ptosis eyelid surgery to correct my heavy, droopy eyes.

The clinics I went to
I contacted so many clinics that I would get confused and I couldn't remember which clinic said what or who said whatever. haha it was pretty bad. I think I contacted maybe 20 or more. Among these, the top places I was considering to go was GNG Hospital, TL, April 31, ID, and Grand. In the end, I chose GNG Hospital

Among those five, two were off my list almost completely (I will refrain from saying where). They're huge and extremely "luxurious" ... I get it. but I did not feel comfortable with all the patients going in and out. I mean doctors are human too. So how can they remember all their patients. It was a beautiful clinic, don't get me wrong... but it totally lives up to it's "Factory" rep. I did notttt feel comfortable there. I met with the doctor but both places were really similar. Really long wait but very, very short consultation. You can see that their time was very important to them, and wasting it was not an option. Overall, pretty unpleasant experience. T

he other two were ok and I was pretty torn between them but in the end I just decided to go with GNG Hospital since I felt more comfortable with them and one of my local friends had a pretty good result wiht them too. Also, for me, I care about the function of my nose too because as much as cosmetic is important too, overall health function of the nose is just as improtant and GNG Hospital is not just a clinic, and it is where many Korean locals go for surgery, not just foreigners and my frined is Korean too so I know it is one of the best palces to go. And I heard some people they have problems with breathing after a bad nose job, so I trust ENT plastic surgeons

Consultation
I didn't need a translator but they hooked me up with one anyway and she's born in the states so it was nice to have a foreign friend to get an unbiased opinion rather than just a Korean worker. The consultant was really professional and she didn't make me feel like i was being sold something. I even said I needed time to think about it and she told me to do more research and let her know when I decided. I felt really reassured by that because one of the other places I went to threatened me saying they could only give me a discount if I let them know that day haha.

I met with my nose and eyelid doctor. The eyelid doctor had a very serious face, so i felt intimidated at first, but actually out of all the pclinics i went to, i swear he spent the most time with me. he even started drawing for me how the surgery would be cause at times i got so confused. He was really honest and didn't sugar coat anything by telling me what was possible an dwhat wasnt. I felt like that was what sold me the most because I wanted honesty and a more realistic answer.

My nose doctor didnt really say much but he showed me my scans on the X ray and CT . it was pretty cool cause i got to see the inside and outside and they let me know about my internal airflow(?) and what they could do to correct my nasal congestion.

Surgery day
I was gonna be hospitalized a night, but my aunt took me home and the doctor allowed it but told her to contact the hospital immediately if there was an issue. I wish I stayed though because after I woke up from surgery, I was soooo sooo soo tired and I just wanted to rest. My aunt was very persistant that I needed to go home tho haha. I think the pain wasnt as bad as I expected, but it was so uncomfortable. I couldnt breathe and I was very nauseous and I could only breathe from my mouth. It was pretty difficult, but still not as painful as I expected. Just realluy uncomfortable.
pain 2/10
discomfort 9/10

Having to get up and go home after surgery was such a terrible experience. if you can stay overnight and be hospitalized, i highly recommend it. Thankfully GNG Hospital offers 1-2 nights hospitalization. Un-thankfully my aunt thought it would be better for me to be looked after at home haha

Overall surgery result
I wish I wrote this review sooner. I always thought about doing it and I even promised I would right away. but I guess I got caught up in life and eventually forgot about the community that once helped me >_< Anyway, I am already over half a year post-op and I think it took a month for my swelling to settle down enough. I can see I am still swollen and when I look back at my 3rd and 4th and 6th month post op picture, I can see I was more swollen than I actually thought at the time. These days many of my friends and family and people I dont even know say I got so pretty!! It really raised my confidence because no one used to say like that to me. I am so happy and thankful to my doctors and I know it will keep getting better


Anyway, I am very happy with my result and I am sorry I could not have shared it more clearly earlier. I hope everyone has a good surgery and good result. Sorry for my bad english!!

I wish everyone luck!

sorry for the late reply! i dont get notifications from here anymore

Here is a different angle of my before and after
The picture definitely doesnt do justice!!
i think its hard to see the balance and ratio of how much my nose change since i cut my nose out only
but i am very happy with my result bcus it really give me confidence when i take photo in any angle. before when i take photo in one angle its arrow, and the other angle my nostril is sooo flared. overall it was soo manly!! but now everyone tells me how much prettier look after i changed my nose. i never heard that kind of compliment before :'(((((( but these days i hear the word "prettier" more often and already two of my friend went to go do surgery at gng too afterme!!
hahah really i am so thankful and really happy. i hope everyone can have a good result !!

Do you have any B&A photos of your eyes?

I am looking to have my eyes done and haven't decided on a clinic yet. Would you say you're super happy with your eye results as well?

 

[jambition]

Your nose looks amazing! Do you have any more pictures of it from the front? I may have to consider GnG for rhinoplasty now.

 

[ceecee100]

Can you PM the final price you paid and more after pics if you're comfortable with that? I'm also looking into GNG for this summer.
