I posted a two-month update before, and a lot of people said they wanted to know how it was going these days, so I am writing again.. haha It has now been a little over three months and so far I am recovering well with no major problems. It was my second revision surgery, but because my nose condition was not good and there was contracture, I had revision surgery with autologous costal cartilage. The throbbing in my nose that I had at the beginning and the pain at the autologous rib cartilage donor site are completely gone now! At first it felt a bit awkward, but now I have also gotten used to the nose shape after surgery, and going forward I am just going to pay more attention to scar care haha
