To be exact, this week is week 3!
I had a hard time choosing between two clinics, but I decided after referring to reviews, blogs, and so on~~
[D-1] I couldn't sleep, I was nervous, time wouldn't pass, and I was a little scared too. I started fasting from the evening.
[D-day] It's finally happening,, After consulting with the director, I trusted the director and left it to him! The surgery was done safely with sleep anesthesia + local anesthesia together. The cotton blocking my nose was so stuffy, and I felt dizzy and had a hard time,,,, I regretted it a little too, ate 2 bites of pumpkin porridge, rested, and repeated that. *Silicone 6 mm + ear cartilage
[D+1] I wanted the cotton removed, so I visited the clinic first thing in the morning. For reference, when I woke up, even the splint had come off, so I was scared,,, I think it was because I was at peak swelling,,
[D+2] Still very swollen,, and there was a lot of nasal discharge too, so it was uncomfortable,, After the cotton was removed, eating became easier, but I still couldn't open my mouth much!
[D+5] Splint removal day, I thought I had been walking diligently, but I was extremely swollen,, I didn't even want to look in the mirror and felt so depressed,,, Seriously, I looked exactly like Avatar and a human-faced fish,, The first suture removal was bearable, and having the splint and ear bandage removed felt so relieving!!
As a result of continuing to walk diligently, the swelling moved down toward my cheeks, so I looked like I had a square jaw for a while, and then a lot of the cheek swelling went down too!
[D+12] Second suture removal and final consultation with the director He said the swelling was still severe and told me to be careful
[D+18] Current My nose is still dry and my nose hairs are growing back,, And my nose is open now, but because it's still dry, dry boogers keep blocking it. But I can't pick my nose, so I'm just applying Vaseline every evening.
My nose is itchy, and I get scared even if I touch it just a little. It seems like my nose is crooked and looks strange, but I'm still satisfied with having a nasal bridge now!
Even when I touch my nose now, it feels like vibrations are ringing through it, and my sebum, blackheads, and whiteheads are bad. Most of all, even after washing my face, after just a little time, my face gets really oily Even now, when I touch my face, my hands get so oily that I'm wiping my hands with a wet tissue
