Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redo

Day 3 after undoing cartilage tying and removing everything, including ear cartilage.

As the title says, I had everything removed, and today, right before the typhoon came, I got the taping taken off... The side view is okay enough, but the front view is so bleak lol It’s a seriously bulbous, fist-like nose. I hope this is all swelling.. I hope it goes down a bit after two or three monthsㅠㅠ I don’t think I’ll be able to meet anyone for at least a month. For those who had removal, I’m curious whether the nasal tip swelling went down a lot, and whether the nostrils got smaller?

Still, after worrying every day since considering early removal two years ago, now that I’ve had everything removed, I feel relieved inside. The nose still looks upturned, but there isn’t major pinching, and the nostrils have become naturally a little rounder, which I like most for now. But the left nostril, which looked a little pinched before, is actually more pinched after removal =_= Sigh, they say this can happen for a few months because the nasal tissue tightens during the healing process, so I’ll watch it slowly...

I think I’ll be staying in this community for a while...
