Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life? It's been 6 months, and my right nostril feels packed with bone (it protrudes in a bumpy way). Every time I blow my right nose, it feels hard and difficult, and I often get nasal congestion... The tip isn't even that high, but it feels uncomfortable, like someone is holding it and won't let go. It feels like the silicone was inserted crooked, and honestly I don't even like the shape, but I don't want to open my nose again. Until the 3-month mark I was losing my mind, crying every day, taking medication, and struggling, but now I'm just irritated and tired. I want to feel comfortable.

My nose feels a little twitchy (?) and tight. If I just watch it, I can see a slight tremble? wriggle? lol But the support wasn’t left out, so it didn’t feel like it was sagging or anything, just a bit strange.
