Today marks exactly 2 weeks since I had the complete non-implant removal! Time really flies. It hurt a bit at first, but now it doesn't hurt when I leave it alone, and it only hurts if I touch it too hard while washing my face..? I had the tip raised using only septal cartilage, and there was also a spreader graft, but I removed everything. One person in this community asked whether the nostril and columella area could also be lifted, so I added photos. Originally, the columella was crooked and the nostrils were in a 11-shape, so it looked very unnatural, but now it's symmetrical and has gone back to my original nostril shape! (The last photo is the nostril shape before removal surgery!) The tip still seems a little higher than my natural nose, but the overall impression feels like my original face, so it doesn't feel very foreign. I just hope it heals well without any problems from here on out T_T Leave any questions in the comments~

It has been several years since I had hump nose osteotomy surgery. I keep wondering whether the part used for the nasal tip support was septal cartilage. My columella has drooped so much like a crying face, and I just want to remove it and
