In case you haven’t read the first 2 parts, here’s the
links to them:
*Updates: There were questions on why my ears had stitches and bruisings and I realised that I didn’t explain it. Dr Suh took some of my ear cartilage to build my nose tip and alars.
Remember this photo from the previous post? I was still looking ok. And besides having a bandage on, there wasn’t any difference. But Jenny already advised me that swelling on my face will start the next day and so I was prepared for it.
I was given medications, pumpkin juice, 2 surgical masks and ice packs in a little bag before I go back to the apartment. There was also information what I can or cannot do during this recovery period.
I was happily on the cab back to the apartment when suddenly I started having a runny nose. I couldn’t blow my nose so I just let it drip and clean the mucus off with a tissue. Don’t be surprised if you start to have a runny nose after surgery. I did a google search on it and found it to be very common.
It went on for the next 2 to 3 days.
Day 1
OMG the swelling started. My eyes were half of their original size!
But I could eat normally, just that I couldn’t open my mouth really big so I stick to softer and soupy food for the first 2 days.
Day 2
The worst day of my swelling journey. Hahahaha…
I was wondering why the operation was only on my nose but my whole face was swelling! I found out that it was because of the impact on my whole face that caused the entire face to start swelling. Gosh, can you see my chipmunk cheeks…
And the purple bruises on my eyelids.
I couldn’t open my eyes very much and I even had problem reading. Sigh… The moment I start to read, I feel like sleeping. Hahahaha…
So shiok!
For the 1 week post op, till the stitches are removed on the 7th day, I can only wash my body. I cannot wash my hair or my face because I am not supposed to wet the stitches. I was so happy that JW Plastic Surgery provides hair wash services! So I get to wash my hair every 2 days when I go back for my review. Phew! I’m so used to washing my hair every single day due to the tropical hot and humid Singapore weather. I feel so strange that I can’t wash my hair. The hair wash service is so so important hahahaha… And so here’s a little piece of advice: It is better to go for surgery in Korea in the cooler months.
Recovery seemed so much more comfortable!
Everyday I’ll clean my face with Dettol wet wipes and wet a tissue with water to clean after that. I still applied some basic skincare. I don’t want a breakout on my skin!
And my dear was so funny and mean ok. He was laughing at my swelling and he said he finally has got bigger eyes than me and he must take a photo of that historical moment. -_-”’
A lot of people were depress and upset during the swelling stage because it is during this stage that we looked the worse. But really, just be happy and positive and it will pass soon! I kept singing the song Chip and Dale song because I really look so much like a chipmunk to make myself happy. Hahahah… I was glad to have my super nice Jon with me to take care of me and irritate me and made me laugh so much!
So for the first 2 days I basically stayed in the apartment to read my book and rest. I was drinking a lot of pumpkin juice to help with the deswelling too. Remember to apply medication too!
Day 3
My swelling started to go down from day 3 onwards but it was a slow process okie…
I could open my eyes! So happy!
Day 4
See the bruising on my right ear.
We went shopping at Ewha Women’s University.
I told Jon this is my ninja OOTD.
He insisted I look like some fugitive since I was dressed in black and my fugitive cap. I tucked my hair into my jacket and the weather was so so cold I wrapped myself up like a dumpling.
Jon kept saying he felt like he’s dating a guy. HAHAHA…
Day 5
Went back to JW to remove the bandages!
Wash my hair first. Very important.
And every time I go back for review, JW will do a de-swelling treatment for me.
I was so desperate for the swelling to go down! Heh!
Day 6
My nose is still badly swollen.
I called myself potato nose for that few days.
Going to walk around at Insadong.
Haiya I changed my fugitive cap and wore a blue jacket
instead of my favourite comfy black one!
If not my dear will say he is dating a man again. LOL.
Day 7
Back to JW to remove stitches!
The bruising travelled downwards to the sides of my nose…
Removing stitches on my ear and my nose.
I shall not scare you with the photos. Just this one!
I was reading a lot of bloggers’ experience on nose surgery before I went ahead with mine. Everyone said that the surgery and recovery were painless. I totally agree. Besides having a runny nose for the first few days and dealing with the swelling, there was zero pain. I really mean ZERO. No pain at all. Even I was surprised. I mean so much things were done to the nose, but yet there was no pain at all. Wow! But, reading through others’ experiences, most mentioned that there was discomfort during the stitches removal.
I was so scared when I went to remove the stitches! I was waiting waiting for the pain and discomfort, and then the nurse told me it was done already. No leh! No discomfort, no pain! I was so happy la! I was really expecting some pain.
But no! Don’t have! The nurses there must have been really skilful !
Dr Suh came to check on my nose.
Dr Suh checked and made sure that everything was ok, and advised me on what I can or cannot do during the next 2 months.
My nose was super swollen and huge. He told me not to worry and I won’t be looking like that forever.
The final shape will only appear at around 2 months post op.
I am going to be very patient and wait for my pretty nose to appear.
Having a little chat with Jay before we leave! These 2 men cannot stop talking about gaming. HAHAHA…
Big thank you to Jay for all the hospitality and all the help before, during and after the surgery! Come over to Singapore soon I’ll bring you around ok! Y^_^Y
After 2 weeks in Korea, I came back to Singapore and here are some recent photos as I recover.
Day 16
Day 22
1 month post op!!!
Day 44
Yesterday at day 46
I super love my nose now! I specifically asked Dr Suh for a straight nose. So happy!! He knew exactly what I wanted! I really didn’t like the curved nose that seemed so popular these days.
THANK YOU JW PLASTIC SURGERY AND DR SUH! So love!!!!!
There is a surprise that I wasn’t expecting. I was suspicious and I kept monitoring and I think after a month of monitoring, I can be sure about it. MY SINUS PROBLEM IS GONE AFTER THE SURGERY!!!! I don’t know why, maybe I should ask Dr Suh someday. My cousin told me maybe it is because the bridge is raised so i can breathe better now. I used to tell my mum not to bother should any kidnapper decide to kidnap me and ask her for a ransom. You know why? Because I can’t breathe well through my nose since I was a child. I’m very dependent on nasal sprays. So i always say that the moment the kidnapper tape up my mouth to prevent me from screaming, I’ll die in minutes because I can’t breathe…HAHAHAHA… But for the past month, no runny and super-blocked nose every morning and night anymore. I don’t know why though. Any doctors can answer? Anyway that’s good news for me!!!!!

I went back to the clinic for review on day 2.
The nurse cleaned my nose and finally removed the packings in my 2 nostrils. I finally can breathe through my nose! Gosh… It was really hard to sleep properly with the packings in my nose. So shiok!

Hi :)
I had my first double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty 5 years ago but the result was very badly done.
It left severe scar on the eyelid as you can see in the below picture.
I was always suffered from my small and sleepy eyes with the severe scar but i was just afraid to do a revision since the first surgery made me a fear of the surgery.
But i have heard a lot of good things about JW from my friends and many people say JW Plastic Surgery Center is very reputable as advanced surgery technology and good after care.
So i have decided to undergo revision of double eyelid surgery incision method with ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty in JW Plastic Surgery Center.
Do you see the scar in the picture before surgery?
My eyes look always sleepy and everyone could easily notice that i had a surgery on the eyelid even it had been so long time.
This picture was taken one day after the surgery.
Do i look scary? hehe
Actually i was afraid the surgery might be painful but It wasn't painful at all.
My eyes look wet because i had to apply an ointment on the wound 3-4 times per a day for 7days.
It is getting better!
I can already see the improvement even though it is still swollen.
The stitches on the upper eyelid are removed and the rest at the medial side will be removed on the 7th day.
I can't wait to see the final result!
All the stitches are removed!
The nurses in JW are really good and kind.
They provided good after care service as i expected.
So what i have to do is only waiting for the final result. X)
Do you see the swelling is subsiding?
I had the deswelling treatment in JW and It really works.
Yay!
It is not the final result yet but I'm already happy with my eyes.
My sleepy and ugly eyes are gone and I got this beautiful eyes. :)
It looks natural without make up already.
I never could imagine going out without make up but after the surgery in JW, i don't mind whether i put make up or not. Hahahaha
After 5months!
I'm so confident with my eyes because everyone says it looks beautiful.
Dr.Choi Hong Lim is really amazing.
He removed all the bad scar and made natural and big eyes without scarring as i wanted.
I would like to say he is the best eyelid surgeon in Korea.
I guess i got the final result now.
They say the final result will be usually 3 to 6 months after surgery.
But it is individually different.
Do you see the big improvement?
I really appreciate Dr.Choi and JW Plastic Surgery staffs.
I never regret doing this surgery but i regret so much why i decided doing revision just now.
Why are you still hesitating?
Contact JW now! :)

What kind of nose is considered as the most beautiful nose?
Labels:
Surgery tips
·
The most beautiful nose is the most harmonious nose with your face.
Because the shape of the nose is prominently different between races and individuals, its arrangement, contour of the face, structuring effect and the shape of the nose can greatly influence the face's appearance.
In general, a Westerner's nose is high and narrow in width while Asians have a flat and wide nose.
Korean's generally have an oval nose which widens coming down below the bridge.
Although one might have a high and sharp nose, we cannot consider it sophisticated if the overall face is not balanced. 'An ideal nose' can be rated according to the proportion of the nose to the face listed below:
●Starting Point: Between the eyelashes and the line of double eyelids.Generally many believe it ideal to have the bridge of the nose start at base of the double eyelids; this will make the nose look artificial for Asians so it is more natural looking to have it start at the eyelashes.
●Side profile
We consider it idealistic for a nose to lift upward at the tip of the nose for women and neat and straight for men. However, it is necessary personalize the adjustments according to the face shape and the distance between one's eyes. Recently, it has become more diversified to personalize to a person's face than following the previous standard whether this might be a straight or moderately lifted nose.
●An angle where the columella nasi (pillar of the nose) and philtrum (structure that forms the upper lip and nose) meet (nasolabial angle)
Over 90-95˚(Over 100˚ for Westerner)
An angle between the line of the nose and the forehead: 135-140˚
