It has now been over a year since I started looking into removing the minced cartilage I had placed on my nasal bridge. But the shape kept changing little by little, to the point that I wondered if the swelling was still going down? And the shape of the osteotomy on my nasal bridge was also starting to show as a mess. By the way, when they place minced cartilage, how many millimeters do they usually add? If I feel my nasal bridge now, there is really no swelling left, but it feels lower than before surgery... Then I guess they must have shaved down the bridge a lot?????? Ugh, all I can do is cry. So this current height is the height after adding the minced cartilage... If it’s removed, just how much lower will it become... Has anyone ever been told they had minced cartilage placed, but when it was reopened later there was actually nothing there, or it had been absorbed? That hospital does a good job on celebrities’ noses without leaving scars, but I don’t understand why they do such a terrible job on ordinary people’s noses in terms of both shape and scars... I heard they recently went to some conference or expo. In the photos from that trip, there was even a scrub who pressed and shook my osteotomy nose bridge while saying they would reduce the swelling... How on earth did my life collapse all at once like this...
