This is my third rhinoplasty now. My first surgery used septal cartilage, the second used ear cartilage, and the third used autologous costal cartilage plus reused ear cartilage. It has now been 11 months since my third surgery. But after the third surgery, problems arose.. 1. My nose is deviated to the right (only noticeable to me; others notice if I ask them to look closely; it shows in photos) => This is not a huge problem.. 2. (This is the big problem.) I can feel and see through the cartilage at the nasal tip. There is even a slightly indented area around the cartilage at the tip. 3. Bluish bruising (?) on both sides of the nasal dorsum. I went to the hospital where I had surgery for issue 2, but they said it was not a major problem and that the cartilage was not protruding, so I should not worry.. Honestly, I cannot trust them T_T It feels like the skin is gradually becoming thinner, so the cartilage is becoming more visible and palpable… My nose has already taken as much damage as it can after three surgeries, but it is even more difficult and anxiety-inducing to live with problems that feel like ticking time bombs that could rupture at any time T_T If it were you all.. would you have removal surgery on a nose like this now? T_T If anyone has experienced side effects like this, please leave a comment T_T
