After my nose surgery, my nostrils were very visible and it didn’t really look like I had surgery, so I kept retouching the photos with an app. But at some point I got fed up with that and looked into revision surgery and had it done. Because it’s revision surgery, I don’t think it’s any more swollen or harder than before; it’s still hard not being able to breathe, and once the packing comes out it feels a bit better, but not being able to wash my face is still gross and I’m not used to it.. Anyway, I took off the splint today, and it feels so refreshing. I can clearly feel that it’s improved, so I’m glad! The tip of my nose doesn’t look too thin, and once the swelling goes down well, I feel like I’ll be okay even without using an app anymore! Right now the tip looks a little high so it seems noticeable, but I’m satisfied. I really hope I recover well without any side effects!
