Hongdae nose lift, Formico, self-funded review - beak correction + flat nose bridge, honest disclosure of 3-week transformation timeline

One thing that bothered me every time I looked in the mirror before my wedding photo shoot.
When viewed from the front, the bridge of the nose appears wide, and when viewed from the side, the nose line appears to have a prominent beak.

There was a limit to covering it up with shading, and rhinoplasty was burdensome…
At the time when I was wondering if I could create a “thin and neat line, rather than just a high nose,” the Hongdae nose lifting ‘Formico’ was the one I chose.

 

 

To be honest, I am a 'comi-sae' who has had nose jobs several times.
I tried fillers, threads, and everything else, but the results were always ambiguous.

Sorting out existing nose concerns

• My nose bridge looks low and wide

• A round and spread nose

• The beak stands out in profile

• Even after several treatments, I still don't feel "clean".

This time, we set clear standards.

: Be proud, but not artificial. Do not raise your eyebrows excessively/ Correct the beak naturally/ The tip of the nose is pointed, but not upturned.

 

In a word “A delicate and sophisticated nose reminiscent of Oh Yeon-seo.”
…the conclusion was that it was a very tricky order.

 

The Visit & Consultation Process – Much More Thorough Than You Think

Even though I visited on a Tuesday afternoon, there was still quite a wait. That suggests a lot of people are coming here for nose jobs.

Preparation before consultation

• Wait after cleansing

• A clean washing environment with Dyson products (details like this subtly increase trust)

• Before photo shoot

And there was one process that I didn't expect.

3D skin precision diagnosis

As a bride-to-be, they showed me the condition of her skin using a 3D skin diagnostic device.

The items to be confirmed were as follows.

• Skin Age & Type

• Wrinkle condition around the eyes/face

• Under eye hollowness level

• Elasticity, pores, skin texture

• Pigmentation & Redness

It's more persuasive because it shows numbers showing how much care needs to be taken in which areas, rather than just vaguely saying "your skin is bad."

 

Decision Point for Treatment – ​​The Moment Your Prejudice Against Fillers Is Shattered

The nose consultation was conducted based on the overall facial proportions.
I trusted them because they first asked me what direction I wanted and then calmly explained a realistically possible design.

Concerns about fillers

Honestly, I was hesitant because of the concern that fillers can spread or move.

But Lorient filler

• High cohesion

• The injection pressure is low

• The shape does not get distorted easily

• I heard that it has a long lasting effect.

“Safety and shape maintenance” – these two points are completely convincing.

so Formico (thread lifting) + Lorient filler in parallel I decided to do so.

 

Real review on the day of the procedure

After applying a generous amount of anesthetic cream and waiting, I went into a design consultation with the director.

What was impressive was that, without even touching my nose, she immediately pointed out that the filler I had gotten 12 years ago was still there.

At that moment, I had only one thought: “Ah… this is real.”

Summary of design direction

• Don't touch the space between the eyebrows

• Gently trim the middle of the nose bridge

• Beak correction

• Lift the tip of your nose but don't lift it

… Even looking back, it was a tricky request.

After the procedure, the nurses said, “Wow…” but I was more curious because I couldn’t look in the mirror.

What's the result? Very satisfied.

 

pain

• If you say it doesn't hurt, you're lying

• But it was the least painful nose job I've ever had.

• The swelling lasts for about 3 days

Swelling & Bruising

• I'm the type that doesn't get swollen easily.

• Slight swelling and almost no bruising until the second day

He said that this is possible because of the ‘low and constant injection pressure’ of Lorient filler.

If the pressure is strong, it can cause blood vessel irritation → bruising/hematoma, but this is minimized, so you can return to your daily life very quickly.

 

Day 1

• The nose line is crazy. “Ah… that’s good” I felt it right away

 

 

Day 3

• As the swelling goes down, fine lines appear. It's clearly visible that the beak is neatly organized.

 

Week 1

• I put on highlighter and I'm impressed... The bridge of the nose doesn't look wide at all

 

2-3 weeks

• The section I was most anxious about

• I used to cry when things were restored to their original state, but this time it became more natural and prettier.

 

1 month later

• No shading. People around me were asking me “What did you do?” I'm confidently telling you to see me in a month

 

summation

- Formico + Lorient filler combination, line correction is certain
- Minimizes swelling and bruising, allowing for a quick return to daily life
- After 2-3 weeks, the natural look will become more alive.

Reality Tips

• Be sure to state the exact 'image' you want during the design consultation.

• If you reduce the greed between your eyebrows, you will look much more sophisticated.

• Consider the actual results after at least 2-3 weeks

 

This time, I went with the mindset that it was really “the last time.”
Nowadays, you can say that Hongdae nose lifting is here.

I hope this review will serve as a benchmark to reduce failure for those who are stressed out because of their nose.
