rhinoplasty (ear cartilage, silicone), ptosis correction and lateral canthoplasty

68 0 14323 After 14 days I was excited to get some of the bandages removed. Genuinely excited as some of the pre-existing tapes that were plastered all over my face was rather annoying. After some bandage removal: It will be at this level of bandages for the next few days.

As such, shades and masks will be useful (only when the cast is still there)! No glasses on the nose is allowed once the cast is removed. Do try to keep clean as washing your own face will be a distant reality.

I was in Korea during early autumn which was perfect! If you are wondering about the marshmallow in my ear, it is a gauze for my ears as the surgeon used the ear cartilage for the nose tip. That is how the back of my right ear looked like.

They took the ear cartilage from my right ear. If you prefer your left-right ear you might want to highlight this as I did not. However, I am unsure if it is possible to choose ear (check with your surgeon).

This will influence the side you sleep on for the next few weeks. After 1 days The operation was done in two phases: eyes followed by nose. I had to be awake during the surgery for my eyes as they needed me to open and close my eyes during the surgery.

Once the eyes were done, I was sedated, and rhinoplasty was conducted. There were instances of discomfort for lateral canthoplasty but other than that, everything else was a breeze. I even woke up from the operation wondering if they forgot about my rhinoplasty.
