IN THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE
The recovery journal
Adapted from Key’s original account.
Before surgery
Looking carefully for a revision surgeon
Key had undergone two previous nose operations several years earlier. The shape of her nose and complications remained concerns, so she was careful about choosing another clinic. Living in Japan, she began looking into plastic surgery clinics in Korea.
2 weeks after surgery
Support during recovery in Korea
She was initially concerned about bruising after surgery. While recovering, she avoided alcohol and spicy or salty foods, and noticed the swelling gradually settling. She appreciated the postoperative support at DI and said that being able to communicate with a Japanese-speaking staff member helped her feel more reassured while having surgery abroad.
2 months after surgery
A more natural facial contour
She felt that her nose had become closer to the shape she wanted. As the swelling decreased, she could see the contours more clearly. She had worried that surgery might produce an obviously artificial appearance, but was pleased that her own result looked natural to her.
4 months after surgery
Enjoying dressing up again
By four months, she reported being comfortable with her usual activities. She described feeling more confident and enjoying dressing up. Revision rhinoplasty had been her greatest concern, and she was particularly happy with that part of her experience.
