I came in today for my 1-month (5-week) checkup. There is no tenderness or foreign-body sensation now, and the rash on the bridge skin of my nose has improved a lot. The wound is healing well. Since around week 3 to 4, my nose has felt tight and firm, and when I asked about it, they said it was due to scar tissue and told me to massage it by hand. They said there is also a way to get injections. They also said my nose would settle down a bit. When I asked whether I might get contracture or whether the columella might turn inward, they said that would not happen and showed me photos. The cartilaginous-feeling spot on one side of the columella that I could feel before surgery is gone now too. Right after the surgery, I only saw the director briefly during the treatment visits on day 3 and day 7, but today at the 1-month mark, I could take photos and hear the before-and-after explanation from the director. I think I asked everything that came to mind, lol. They said to come back for a checkup in 3 months. I made a reservation and am on my way home now. If you have any questions, ask me. (The interior looked well done.)

I had autologous cartilage removed from a nose I had for more than 10 years, but when I look at other people's early removal photos, they barely seem swollen and look fine, while mine looks like a butterfly nose. Is this normal? The tip…
Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redoJul 16 Side effects after autologous costal cartilage support
Is there any talk that removing all of the autologous costal cartilage support as much as possible, leaving only a minimal amount behind, can also cause side effects later on..?
Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redoJul 16 Wow, I had my nose done at the same clinic as Lalal and it is honestly amazing.....
At first, my nose was filled with thick silicone like an avatar nose, so I didn't even need to contour it lol The tip of my nose was also slightly upturned and my side profile wasn't pretty, so I was stressed out. After seeing the surgery…
