I have a nose with a septal extension! It’s been 4 months now, and there’s no movement at all when I say “mmm,” and when I smile it feels tight and is fixed in place, so it looks like a hooked nose and is uncomfortable. Before and after surgery, the tip shape is almost the same, but after surgery the columella was fixed so it became longer and only discomfort was added, right? So I was going to remove everything, but because there wasn’t a big difference between the before and after shapes, they recommended leaving the support in place since taking it out could cause the nose to drop. I thought it would go back since it’s not really different from my original nose, so it was a bit shocking.. But if I leave the support in, I’m worried that the lack of movement when saying “mmm” and the discomfort when smiling will stay the same. If anyone here left the support in, could you tell me how uncomfortable it was? I know the firmness can’t be helped, but I really hate it when the foreign-body feeling makes daily life inconvenient, so I’m worried.
