Review of Consultation
During my rhinoplasty consultation at VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea, the doctor took pictures with an iPad and showed me a simulation of how my nose line would look if lifted. I really liked this part—it made me more excited because I could clearly see the possible outcome in advance.
My nose was originally short and wide, but seeing the simulation gave me higher expectations. Since I didn’t know much, I couldn’t ask all the questions, but the doctor explained a lot on his own and answered everything I was curious about.
I decided to undergo eyelid surgery in Korea, facial fat grafting, and double chin liposuction. The doctor’s bright and cheerful manner helped me relax even though I was nervous, and we laughed together during the consultation.
I also have slightly uneven eyes. In real life it’s not very noticeable, but in pictures it really shows. The doctor caught that right away and carefully examined both sides differently. For fat grafting, I said I previously had filler but wanted something less dramatic, just noticeable enough. Even though my explanation was not perfect, the doctor understood exactly what I wanted.
I was very satisfied with the consultation at this Seoul plastic surgery clinic, and I think I’ll feel nervous but excited until the surgery day comes!

3 Days Post-Op Review
Right after surgery, my throat hurt a lot, my nose was blocked so I couldn’t breathe well, and my throat was extremely dry—it was really hard. But by Day 3, I could breathe much better and my throat wasn’t as dry anymore. However, I still had a lot of nasal discharge, so I bought gauze and tape from the pharmacy and kept changing it under my nose frequently.
My eyes swelled and went down repeatedly, and when they swelled a lot, watery discharge made my eyes hurt. I’ve been taking medicine regularly, managing carefully, and doing ice packs diligently. For the double chin liposuction, I’ve been wearing the compression band all the time and managing as best as I can.
It doesn’t hurt, just feels uncomfortable. I can’t wait for one week to pass so I can finally see my new nose line from my rhinoplasty in Korea!

1 Week Post-Op Review
At 7 days after surgery, I had my stitches removed, and the bruising and swelling went down quickly. Once the stitches were out, I felt refreshed. For my nose, after the splint was removed, I couldn’t stop staring at the mirror.
The line looked so beautiful that even the nurses said it was pretty, and the doctor also smiled at me, which I was thankful for. For the fat grafting, the doctor put in a lot of effort, and the result came out exactly how I wanted, matching my nose line perfectly.
My eyes also looked much better once the swelling reduced, giving me a cooler, fresher image. From the front, people told me my face looked slimmer, and from the side, the round fat disappeared. Everyone I met said the surgery went really well, and hearing those compliments made me so happy.
Even though some swelling remains, I’m already very satisfied and now looking forward to the 1-month mark!

2 Weeks Post-Op Review
Since Week 1, I thought the swelling had already gone down a lot and I looked okay in pictures. But by Week 2, I realized that my face still looked swollen before—like a steamed bun!
Now, the swelling keeps going down, and as my double eyelids settle, my nose line looks even better. My forehead was very swollen at first, but now it’s naturally settling, and as the swelling goes down on my nose, the bridge is becoming more defined. Looking in the mirror feels so good!
When I meet friends, I think I’ve already heard at least 200 times that my nose looks beautiful. As the swelling keeps improving, I just want to take more selfies and show off!
In the early stage after surgery, I couldn’t taste food and naturally lost weight. But now my appetite is back, and I’m eating whatever I want. Still, my double chin remains sharp, and thanks to the doctor, as the swelling goes down, my jawline looks slimmer. I hope the swelling continues to reduce quickly!

3 Weeks Post-Op Review
Now that it’s been 3 weeks since surgery, I feel like the forehead fat grafting has started to settle. In the beginning, it was swollen like a dinosaur’s head, but little by little, it has taken shape naturally, making my side profile look so much prettier. Even right after rhinoplasty, my acquaintances told me that my side profile looked great, but now that the swelling has gone down, my nose looks slimmer and better balanced, even from the front view.
As my nostrils gradually widened, the overall nose line started to look well-shaped. At first, because my eyes were swollen, I couldn’t see the effect of the back-corner eye surgery, but as the swelling subsided, my eyes became much bigger. I didn’t like how my eyes looked upward at the outer corners before, but now that the issue has been improved, I feel pleased every time I see my face.
Although it hasn’t even been a full month yet and there is still swelling to go down, I really hope it continues to disappear soon! These days, I find myself taking more side profile pictures than front-facing ones, because my double chin has reduced so much and my forehead and nose tip line fall so beautifully. I feel thankful to the doctors at VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea for taking such great care of my surgery, and I am looking forward to how I will look even better in the future!

1 Month Post-Op Review
Now that it has been just over a month since surgery, most of the swelling seems to be gone. In the early stage, I had difficulty breathing through my nose, and it felt very dry inside, so taking care of it was hard. But because I managed carefully, those inconveniences disappeared, and now everything feels stable.
Before surgery, I preferred my front profile over my side profile, but these days, whenever friends take pictures of me, my face naturally turns to the side. My forehead and nose line have aligned beautifully, making my profile very smooth.
During the first 7 days after surgery, because I wore a nasal splint, the area between my eyebrows felt a little indented, but as the swelling reduced and my forehead settled naturally, I became very satisfied.
I was worried that the back-corner eye surgery might close up again, but the doctor made sure it was opened widely, so I don’t think it will close anymore. These days, I put on makeup with joy just for the fun of taking pictures. People keep saying I look prettier, and especially that my nose has become so beautiful. Even though more swelling will subside in the future, I am already very satisfied with how it looks now.

3 Months Post-Op Review
I can’t believe it’s already 3 months! At first, when I looked at photos, I thought I still looked a little swollen and awkward, but now it seems like everything has completely settled.
Before, I rarely took selfies, and whenever I did, I always edited them heavily. But now, I spend much less time editing, because there are fewer things to fix, and that makes me so happy each time.
In the beginning, when the swelling was going down, I worried because my nostrils looked asymmetrical. But as the swelling subsided, the asymmetry improved a lot, and even the scars started to fade, so they are barely noticeable.
I still have a bit of baby fat left on my face, so I look a little stronger than I’d like, but thanks to surgery, I now have the image I wanted—a chic, pretty style. These days, I’m living such a happy daily life ♥

5 Months Post-Op Review
Now that it has been 5 months, I’m getting more and more used to my new face. In the beginning, there was still a visible line between my forehead and nose, but now that both the facial fat grafting and rhinoplasty have settled, the line looks so much prettier. Sometimes at work, people tell me, “Your nose is so beautiful,” and I can’t help but smile inside! I feel like bowing deeply in gratitude to my doctor.
In the middle, I was bothered by the eyelid crease and under-eye fat shifting upward, so I had an eyelid revision as well—and it turned out to be the best decision ever. Since I like a glamorous look, my eyes becoming sharper and more defined completely transformed my features.
I’m still not super confident with a bare face, but compared to before, even my no-makeup face looks so much prettier now. Thanks to VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea, I feel like I’ve started a new chapter in life. I look forward to showing my more beautiful self every day!

6 Months Post-Op Review
It has now been 6 months since surgery, and I realize swelling really takes a long time to disappear completely. My nose bridge, which was once very swollen, has become slimmer, and the fat grafting areas have also settled well.
I was worried about the puffiness around my eyes making them look heavy, so I decided to get double eyelid surgery along with a back-corner eye revision, and these days, I keep hearing compliments that my eyes are beautiful. From before, I always wished 80% of my facial impression could come from my eyes, and now it finally feels that way.
People say swelling from rhinoplasty in Korea can last up to a year, and in the middle, I was concerned because I noticed a slight separation between the tip and bridge of my nose. I even thought about fillers, but over time it improved naturally. I learned that plastic surgery results should not be judged only in the early stages.
Day by day, I’m looking prettier, taking more selfies, and enjoying dressing up!

7 Months Post-Op Review
Now at 7 months, all the surgical areas have stabilized, and I feel mostly relieved. Before surgery, I was really nervous because I read a lot of stories online about complications after plastic surgery in Korea, and I worried, “What if that happens to me?” But thankfully, nothing bad occurred, and I’ve reached 7 months safely.
Before, I thought bigger hospitals in Gangnam automatically meant better results, but after carefully reading reviews and finally choosing VIEW Plastic Surgery in Seoul, I realize it was the best choice.
Sometimes at work, elderly people stare at my face, and I used to think, “Do I have something on my face?” But often, they simply tell me, “Your eyes are really beautiful.” I feel like I should bow in gratitude to my eye surgeon. There are so many things I can’t even fully express in this review, but if I ever want another procedure in the future, I will definitely come back to VIEW!

8 Months Post-Op Review
It’s now 8 months since surgery, and I’m still very satisfied with my face. I gained a bit of weight, so I worried about my double chin and facial fat coming back. But since I had double chin liposuction, I don’t feel anxious because I know I can rely on VIEW Clinic.
Before surgery, I begged my doctor to make sure my nose tip didn’t look over-projected, because I didn’t want an unnatural result. Afterward, I was very satisfied with my natural-looking nose. Some people told me I should have raised it higher, but I preferred a natural look. Now that my nose tip has dropped slightly with time, I still like it better this way.
Overall, my facial image used to look blurry and undefined, but now it feels sharper and more distinct. Every day, I feel like I’m in my prime, and people around me keep giving compliments. I proudly recommend Korean plastic surgery at VIEW to others.

9 Months Post-Op Review
It’s already been 9 months since surgery at VIEW. I used to have a lot of eyelid fat, uneven eyes, and forehead wrinkles from raising my eyebrows to open my eyes. After surgery, opening my eyes feels much easier.
At first, the sensation of opening them was strange, but soon they looked much more open and gave me a stronger impression, making eye makeup more enjoyable. My old eyes were narrow and dull, so no matter what makeup I tried, it didn’t look good. Now, even with just a little shadow, my eyes stand out beautifully.
My nose also feels completely like my own now. Even friends who see me often say it looks natural, as if I was born with it. I’ve adapted so much that I can even comfortably pick my nose with my pinky finger—it feels like my real nose now!

10 Months Post-Op Review
Now it has been 10 months, and I’m happy to see that my nose tip is still holding up well, even though no strong cartilage was used. People say to monitor rhinoplasty in Korea results for at least a year, but since I’m close to that, I think it’s already very successful.
My back-corner eye surgery is still well maintained, giving me a refreshing image. Before, I never thought my small eyes with low creases could look pretty, but now every time I do my makeup, I realize how well the surgery turned out.
Scars are barely visible, and I can tell that the doctors put so much care into my surgery. Overall, my facial line looks very satisfying. Even though I gained a little weight again, I’m motivated to lose it and enjoy my beautiful results even more.
Thanks to VIEW Plastic Surgery in Korea, I feel like I’ve been reborn with a prettier face!
