After<The bruising still hasn’t gone away.. haha>Before<The photo I brought to the clinic (I was just mindlessly obsessed with Karina’s nose..),>Before<This was my nose before>I’m on day 12 after getting functional nose surgery! For the nasal tip, they used ear cartilage and septal cartilage, and they shaved down the hump and performed osteotomy on the nasal bridge.
Wow, I thought it would be easy, but nose surgery is really tough haha As soon as I opened my eyes after surgery, I regretted it. Because it hurt so much…. For two days, I couldn’t sleep and was in pain, and the bruising and swelling were so intense that I kept thinking, why did I spend money and use my annual leave to do this..
When I watch nose surgery vlogs, everyone looks pretty from the time they still have the splint on and walks around just fine, but that wasn’t me. The area between my eyes looked so pulled together (it was kind of scary because I’d never seen my face like that before..) and the bruising was intense, purple and green, so I only went out briefly for walks at night and couldn’t go outside at all..
When I still had the splint on and right after it was removed, I really didn’t like the shape of my nose Since I had taken annual leave and had nothing to do, I just kept browsing communities, looking at revision surgery clinics and nose surgery reviews..
Still, as I’ve gotten to day 12 and the swelling has gone down! I think it’s changing in a pretty nice way haha I was extremely stressed, but since it’s already done, I’m going to try not to regret it anymore!! I should just keep thinking about how it’ll get even prettier as the swelling goes down haha
