After <after surgery (current)> After <immediately after surgery> Before <before surgery!> My nasal tip was gradually getting shorter like symptoms of contracture, and my nostrils were too visible from the front~ Fortunately it wasn’t contracture, and I was told it was being pulled because the cartilage that had been used was too weak and the surgical method was wrong So for this revision surgery, donated costal cartilage and septal cartilage, two materials, were used for the nasal tip! I understand costal cartilage is the strongest material by nature~ I did consider autologous costal cartilage too, but I didn’t want a scar left near my ribs It’s been about 3 months since surgery now, but I don’t feel any foreign-body sensation or any discomfort at all haha It’s just the difference between building up the nasal tip with my own cartilage or someone else’s cartilage??? If you don’t feel uneasy about it, I think donated costal cartilage is good too ^^ haha My short, upturned nose now looks like the rhinoplasty was done to fit my current image perfectly~~ It’s not like an overly glamorous, long Gangnam-beauty kind of nose,,, and they made the nasal tip of the natural straight-to-semi-curved line beautifully too So I’m living very satisfied haha lol After getting rhinoplasty, I became more positive and my self-esteem went up a lot hahaha Not only did the shape change, but I also experienced inner changes, so it really helped raise my self-esteem too haha The photos are, in order, my nose now -> immediately after surgery -> before surgery~~
