Without thinking much, I thought rhinoplasty was something simple and got it done just because I wanted my nasal tip to be slightly higher.. But after the surgery, every single night my nose hurt and throbbed, and when I lay down, I could feel pressure from the silicone, so I couldn’t sleep at night and just worried every day. Since I had pain and discomfort, I searched online and joined a community, looking things up every day, but my worries only grew more and more. I wondered if the pain would lead to inflammation, or if contracture would develop.. Because of my nose, the pain and everything suddenly made me feel so disillusioned So I decided that if I was going to worry like this, I’d rather just remove it... I looked into early removal, and thought a removal-specialized clinic would be better than the hospital where I had surgery, so I found a removal-specialized clinic and even had the removal surgery.. When I first had the consultation, my nose was crooked, the right airway was very narrowed, and the incision scar on my nose was also pretty bad.. I didn’t know my condition was this serious, so I was shocked when I heard it.. The inside of my nose was worse than I expected, so I felt I needed to remove it quickly, scheduled the surgery right away, and had it done. After the removal, maybe because my mind felt at ease, I felt somehow relieved and comfortable.. It’s now almost been 2 weeks since the removal surgery, and friends who didn’t know I had surgery said they thought I just hadn’t done anything. The silicone pressure and discomfort are all gone, so I feel a bit better now. Before surgery, I had no idea that harvesting septal cartilage carried such a big risk, but while looking into removal, I learned that it can be really dangerous if things go wrong.. The advice not to take surgery lightly is only now finally sinking in On the day my stitches were removed, the director who did the removal surgery advised me not to touch anything anymore I messed with it without knowing better and only went through unnecessary hardship That one month felt like such a hard time Since I regret having rhinoplasty itself.. now I’m going to try not to even look at surgery at all I’m reflecting on myself for mistakenly thinking surgery was easy.
