You mentioned Deviated Septum, which I also have. I had surgery once to clear things out but I don’t think it helped as I still feel like I can’t breathe through both sides of my nostril at the same time. So thanks for this information, I’m nowhere near Korea (Missouri lol) but this is good to hear from a medical stand point.
Ah, that's a bummer it didn't seem very effective for you :( My brother actually probably had a surgery very similar to yours--his was also to correct a deviated septum, but only internally and his surgery didn't have any cosmetic components. His was actually much more deviated than mine and he was ALWAYS sick as a kid growing up because of it. The surgery completely changed his health and made a pretty dramatic difference, so that was one of the things that convinced me to suck up my fear of being put under and go through with it. Do you know if your surgery was done by an ENT surgeon or an actual plastic surgeon?
It was an ENT and as far as I know, it was more to correct something internally. So I'm thinking either the issue all along has been allergies or what they did just didn't help permanently. But after watching this it sounds like a plastic surgery might be a better solution anyway as they really come from a different perspective. I'm not medically inclined so I really don't know what I'm saying, but it seems to make more sense. haha
WisdomForWizards haha yeah I’m definitely not a doctor either! I do know that Mikey from Glam and Gore did a video talking about her rhinoplasty and how she originally had one done by an ENT to correct a health issue, but it ended up semi-botched. She’s since gone to a plastic surgeon to have everything corrected and her overall comment seemed to be that plastic surgeons are trained in the same areas an ENTs, but then even further since they deal with the cosmetic part. This is also pure speculation on my part, but I’d have to imagine that a plastic surgeon also has a little more “playing room” if they’re also correcting cosmetic things, as they can rearrange and use the space a bit more than a surgeon who is going in purely to correct one singular issue but not touch anything else...? But just like you, I’m definitely no doctor, so who knows!
superman7136 later today, actually! I have the first video of my surgery day completed , but it contains footage from inside the operating room. I wanted to clear it with the hospital first and make sure they were okay with everything being shown. They are, so ill upload it after work tonight ^^
Hi! How many days is necessary to do the whole procedure in korea? Including the first meeting, exams, surgery and recovery. And how much it cost in dollars, please? Thank you!
It depends. I lived in Korea, so I did a consultation and scheduled my surgery for one month after. If you feel comfortable consulting from abroad and committing to a surgery day, then you need a health check within 1 week of your surgery day, and then 1 week of daily checks and monitoring after surgery to make sure things are healing properly and all bandages and tubing are removed. Assuming you do the consultations digitally or on a separate trip, I would say give yourself 3 weeks. I've heard of people doing 2.5 or even 2 weeks, but I personally feel like that's cutting it very close and not leaving room for addressing any complications or issues. Costs are mentioned in this video, but it's really something you need to discuss with individual doctors. Different clinics will charge different prices, and everyone's rhinoplasty is different--some are more or less complicated, which can dramatically affect the price.
I’ve never had revision surgery, so I’m not sure. I’ve only every had the one surgery documented in this series, but I’ve heard revision surgeries can be more expensive.
Nomadic Madda ooh ok, plz can you try and may be wear a blond or a curly hair wig just for one prank video, with a totally different hair style. Plzzzz try to do one..
Noooooo your face shape is so pretty already :( Also, I heard that the jaw surgery is SUPER intensive and like really, really horrible to recover from ㅠㅠ
ILoveCoffee The short answer to your question is no, when using the term “western” I am referring to anyone non-Asian. This means anyone who is Caucasian/white, African/black, or Latinx. However, I have personally found that westerners who ethnocentrically think, “Koreans want to look like us,” are more often Caucasian/white than of other races. That’s just based on my own observations and the people I’ve interacted with, so that’s not anything scientific or official. But being white myself, this is something that bothers me, so I felt the need to call attention to it at the start of this video.
I agree with what you're saying, but if i may add to your observation, i think the White/Caucasians who think that Koreans want to be like them tend to be predominantly from English speaking countries. My observation is that, people from English speaking countries have a very inflated sense of self worth. I am from Europe (the mainland), and when i was in Japan, i was very surprised to find out that all the Americans i met there were very respectful and humble, while most people from England and Australia that i met were extremely arrogant and condescending with inflated sense of self worth. Perhaps it has to do with their good international image and the fact that English is international language, or perhaps it's a manifestation of inferiority complex. Whatever it is, it's very repulsive.
You're not the first person I've heard say that, actually. I think for a very long time Americans were the stereotypical embarrassing tourist: loud, brash, ignorant, and disrespectful. I think over the last 10 years traveling Americans (especially those who are younger) have been hyper-aware of this stereotype and have thus made a conscious effort NOT to be this way--I know I have. I can't really speak to other people of other English-speaking countries because I'm American myself, but I will say that over the last 2 or 3 years I've had multiple people point out that same observation you made. I agree 100% though that no matter where you're from, that kind of behavior is abhorrent. It only increases negative stereotypes and gives both tourists and English-speakers a bad name around the world. No matter the cause or nationality, it's inexcusable.
Excellent video Maddie! Hope you are doing well in Korea.

How much did it cost for revision surgery?

Pls do a wig prank video again, I really liked that video !
wigconsult I’ve actually started dyeing my hair again these days and change the color every month, so I don’t really wear wigs anymore ㅠㅠ
Nomadic Madda ooh ok, plz can you try and may be wear a blond or a curly hair wig just for one prank video, with a totally different hair style. Plzzzz try to do one..
I want to do it too to reduce my big jaw
Noooooo your face shape is so pretty already :( Also, I heard that the jaw surgery is SUPER intensive and like really, really horrible to recover from ㅠㅠ
I heard that too, and some people died from it. That's why I hesitate to do it.
Yeah I definitely wouldn't risk that surgery. So not worth it...
most of east asia want that so-called western look
The intro is too long. I'm just here for PS info. ✌ Gotta bounce.
By ''Western'' do you mean White/Caucasian?
