I posted my reviews up to day 5 and my previous surgery history in my earlier post. - On day 7, when the splint came off, my nose shape was pretty okay. People said that because of the splint, the bridge between the brows would look pressed down and make me look really ugly, so I braced myself before going in, but it was better than I expected. - The tip of my nose was definitely very puffy, but that was all swelling, so no need to worry. - Since then, the swelling has kept going down, so if I cover up the bruising on the bridge a bit, I think I could even go about daily life normally. - Since I used a 6 mm silicone implant, I was worried the loss of the bridge would feel huge, but maybe because of the swelling on the bridge, it is not as bad as I expected. Of course, it will all be gone later... - Compared with before removal, the impression does not seem hugely different, but it does look a bit softer and a little younger. - Now, at 2 weeks, I have zero regrets about the surgery and I am doing well. - My nose now is about 70% post-surgery nose + 30% my original nose? (Maybe because I left the septum in place?) I want to say to anyone who was scared to remove it because they used a high silicone implant and were afraid the sense of loss after removal would be too big: please do not worry too much.
