I had my entire nose removed and I’ve returned to everyday life so completely that I’m living well and very satisfied. It feels comfortable, there’s no foreign-body sensation, and there’s nothing to worry about. No one around me noticed at all except the family I told. I only feel sorry when I pass by people whose noses look like they’re struggling, or people whose noses are lifted... T_T The moment I started feeling signs of a nose complication, I went into a total panic, visited famous plastic surgery clinics, spent nights digging through a community and Googling, and all that... I can hardly remember when that was now. It feels so comfortable, both in my mind and on my face.
