#1 A transformation story of a flat nose and small eyes.
I will overcome my
inferiority complex at ** plastic surgery hospital.
Tomorrow is the surgery
day. The tip of my nose is flat and I have small eyes, sagging jowls and
nasolabial lines. I want to fix these as soon as possible. I want to have a
sharp nose. I decided to get inner double eyelids by the embedding method and
epicanthoplasty surgery. My ear cartilage will be used to make my nose tip. All
the people who went through this procedure mentioned that their ears hurt more
than their nose. I wonder how much it’ll hurt but I can definitely put up with
it if it can make me prettier.
I have to fast before the surgery. And I am
not allowed to drink or smoke after the surgery because it can induce an
infection. Fortunately I don’t drink or smoke.
#2 Surgery day. It does not
hurt as much as expected.
I finally had the surgery today! I feel drowsy and
I can’t see very clearly. My vision is a little blurry because of some ointment
the doctor put on my eyes. My face is very bloated since I’ve got my eyes, nose
and lipo-injection done altogether. I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror. I’m
not worried about the result because it’s such a common surgery and it is a very
reliable hospital. The medical team also said that the surgery went
great.
The doctors put a sketch on my face after I changed into a surgery
gown. It was like they were scribbling on my face. I was told that they wouldn’t
put me in a deep sleep for my eye lid surgery because my eyes need to be blinked
few times during the surgery. Then they put me in a deep sleep for nose and
lipo-injection surgery. It was all over when I woke up.
I was so worried how
much it’d hurt when I wake up from anesthesia but it didn’t hurt at all.
When will the swelling on my face be gone? I want it to be gone soon!
#3 5
days after the surgery. I still feel awkward to see my bruised face.
It’s
been 5 days since the surgery. My face is still swollen but it’s a lot better
than the first day. I can definitely see the swelling decline but the bruises
are turning more purple. I have slept seated since I heard it’s better for my
face. My butttocks are little bit sore since fat was extracted out of them. In
many cases, fat gets extracted from thighs or tummy, but I was low in fat and
skinny I had to get it out of my buttocks.
My eyes are more purple
than swollen after 5 days. I think they look pretty natural without
the swelling, just the way I wanted them to be. I like my nose too but I really
want to see it without the bandage and swelling. My nasolabial lines disappeared
too. I can’t wait until the swelling subsides. I’ve been eating Korean pumpkin
soup, which is really delicious. The doctor recommended that it’s the best food
that helps subside the swelling.
#4 1~2 weeks after the surgery, the swelling
subsiding slowly
I feel so relieved without the thing on my nose. I compared
my nose with the before picture. It definitely looks higher and I even like
it even though it looks bigger since it’s still swollen. The incision part below
my nose closed up really good after the stitches were taken out. I don’t think
it’ll leave a scar. My eyes look natural. It turned out just the way I wanted,
not too much.
It’s already been 2 weeks since the surgery. I was worried when
the swelling would go away but they are subsiding indeed. I’m delighted to see
my face changing day by day. I’ve sent photos via e-mails to my friends in Kuala
Lumpur and they all said that they looked like my natural eyes. They admired my
nose that look so much more slender without the swelling now.
#5 1 month
after the surgery. Transforming into a more beautiful face
The swelling that
I was worried about has subsided noticeably. The bruising under my eyes look
like dark circles, but it’s not noticeable if I put on some concealer. It’s too
early to say but I love it so far because my face looks so much different when I
compare myself with the pictures I took before the surgery. The eyes and nose
were the parts I’ve wanted to do but I wasn’t sure about the lipo-injection
surgery. But it looks so much better in photos with some fat on my face. It was
a good thing that I took the doctor’s advice. My nose looks very high right now
because it’s the part where the swelling stays for a long time. I’ve always
wanted a high nose but I can’t wait to find out how it’ll feel without the
swelling
#6 2 months after the surgery
My face is turning into a decent
feature with the lipo-injected jowls settling in. I went to a hair salon not too
long ago and they were surprised to see my face because it looked so
natural.
The time for my second lipo-injection is coming. I have to go to
Korea again. The doctor saved some fat which he extracted on the first time and
it needs to be injected within 3 months. If not, he has to extract the fat
again. It’ll look natural faster since the swelling is less than the first
time.
#7 3 months after the surgery.
When I meet new people, they do
not realize unless I tell them that I’ve done a surgery on my face. They tell me
that my face looks smaller after the surgery. I’m experiencing a lot of good
effects. I’m still careful even though it’s been a long time. I avoid rubbing my
eyes because there has been some cases where the eye lids became loose because
of excessive eye rubbing.
The tingling feeling on my nose is completely
gone the contour of my nose is becoming more clear. I like how my sagging jowls
look plumped when I take photos after the lipo-injection.
#8 4 months after
the surgery. Well-defined features.
I am enjoying my well-defined features 4
months after the surgery. My face used to look dull but now I have well-defined
features. I’m so happy to see satisfied images when I take photos. My
nose looked too high at the first time but it looks appropriate now. Everybody
tells me that I have a beautiful nose. Most of them do not recognize that it’s
been operated. I take more and more photos with my new face now and I’m so
happy.
