My nose was done without an implant, and just 3 days later it turned red. Ten days later, pus was dripping out from the surgical site, and by 2 weeks they had to remove all the ear cartilage that had been grafted inside. But after that, the swelling and redness completely went down, and instead my nose suddenly felt way too small and shrunken ?? T_T It was my first plastic surgery ever, and I had no idea something like this could happen to me, so I know nothing about removal surgery T_T It seems like it might be related to the contraction period, but could someone tell me exactly what that is, and whether inflammation that happens just 2 weeks after surgery can also lead to contraction or scar contracture? ..?? T_T The clinic keeps going on about swelling and makes it sound like it is not a reaction caused by inflammation T_T I am so worried .. My nose looks different every day T_T One day the columella looks short and shrunken, and the next day my nose suddenly looks puffy and swollen. I am losing my mind!!.. T_TTT
