Hi everyone... I don't know how many times I've suffered with my nose already. First of all, I've had 4 surgeries so far. 1. First surgery 2. Total removal 3. Revision surgery 4. Revision surgery After the 4th surgery, I thought there would be no more nose surgeries, but at 10 months I suddenly started feeling a foreign-body sensation in my nose. When I lie on my side, my nose feels like it's being pulled to one side. If I touch the tip of my nose, it feels like cartilage or silicone is showing through a bit. One nostril feels a little blocked. If I put my finger inside my nose, one side feels wide and the other side narrow. But I didn't have any discomfort with breathing after the surgery, so I just lived with it... Then all of a sudden my nose started to feel a bit swollen and one nostril began to get blocked. With these symptoms, breathing, which should normally happen automatically, keeps catching my attention and feels like it's become something I have to do manually... For now, I went to an ENT clinic and was prescribed antibiotics and rhinitis medication, which I'm taking. After taking them, my nose feels a little? more open, but it doesn't feel completely back to how it was before. Has anyone experienced something like this...? It's my first time ever feeling this, so I'm so startled Even though I had my first nose for almost 10 years, this never happened. I don't know whether I need another revision or need removal As someone who has already had one total removal, I don't want to go back to that nose... If anyone has had a similar experience, please share some information Oh, and the surgery used silicone + autologous costal cartilage
