Nose Re-Surgery

Foreign-body sensation after complete nasal implant removal

There must be many people struggling as much as I am, right? It will soon be two years since my nose surgery, but I was in a lot of pain over the past year, lost more than 10 kg, and my immunity has gotten worse. Maybe because of that, although I had no foreign-body sensation in my nose during the first year, recently I have been feeling it extremely strongly. I had silicone + short-nose correction (probably septal extension) + use of septal cartilage at the tip + cartilage reduction and binding. I looked it up, and apparently septal extension can cause severe foreign-body sensations and tightness, including when smiling. Is that true? T_T For several months before, there were more times when I did not feel anything, so even though I thought about visiting the hospital, I did not go (going all the way to Seoul is also burdensome). But over the past few weeks, because of overwhelming anxiety and the foreign-body sensation, I have been unable to eat; when I do eat, I vomit everything up, cannot sleep, and repeatedly have panic attacks where I cannot breathe and my hands and feet tremble. I am really suffering so much....to the point that I want to die. What makes it harder is that I am still a university student, have no savings, and cannot work even part-time because my health is poor... T_T I am currently taking a leave of absence and recovering at home.. so when I try to tell my parents, the words will not come out T_T. Staying at home makes me focus on it even more, and to exaggerate a little, I spend 23 out of 24 hours thinking about the foreign-body sensation in my nose, so it feels as though I keep feeling it even when I did not before. Maybe it is because I have become more sensitive while being ill, and that makes it worse... Externally, there is no problem at all: nothing is drooping or raised, and there is no swelling or redness T_T. There is only slight tenderness sometimes. But just imagining living with this anxiety and foreign-body sensation for the rest of my life makes me feel suffocated and like I am going to die. I would be okay even if I died. I do not care about the shape anymore, so I want to tear everything out right now, this hard, tight-feeling nose.... I am going to tell my parents and go for a consultation as soon as possible... I have not done anything wrong, so why do I keep crying like this? I am posting because I think there must be many people, like me, who are suffering every day. When I was young, I only imagined becoming pretty when I became an adult and going out with my friends, so maybe I am being punished.. As soon as I became an adult, my body became this ill.. and even the nose I used to like... Ah, I’m crying. Since I am young, I am sure many people reading this are in a similar situation or there are many of them. If anyone is going through something similar, let’s get through it together, and if anyone has overcome it, please give me some advice.. I should have it removed, right..
