Today is day 10. This was a case of silicone removal and revision surgery on the nose tip using ear cartilage. The glabellar blood pooling improved after open irrigation, and right now the bridge swelling is severe, so the bridge looks crooked; I’m waiting for the swelling to go down. I was also told that the nostrils looking a bit too visible can still improve because it’s only day 10, so I’m waiting. I also mentioned a part inside the nose that looks like scar tissue, but the hospital explained that it was a preexisting part. I remember it not being there before, so for now I’m planning to keep observing the progress. There is also asymmetry in the nostrils and a white area visible at the tip of the nose, but since I was told that this is still early and to keep watching it, I’m waiting. It’s still only day 10, so I think it’s too early to judge the final result, so I’m leaving this here as a progress record for now. (ChatGPT safely rewrote it again, so I revised the text)

My natural nose is what people commonly call a thick nose. The bridge bone isn’t completely absent, but the alae were relatively large and thick, so the bridge was buried in the tissue and couldn’t be seen. It’s the kind of nose that…
