After <3 weeks> After <These are photos from week 3!> Before <This was before surgery haha.> I used autologous costal cartilage together with septal cartilage! People around me who know I got rhinoplasty were surprised, like, "Autologous costal cartilage!!!?"... They were saying things like, "How can you go through a surgery like that?" ㅠㅠ lol.
Honestly... it was more manageable than I expected, so I was surprised too.
At first, when I lay down and then got up, there was pain I could feel in my chest, but it gradually got better... lol Even now, honestly, when I'm sitting for a while, I can still feel it slightly, like a pressed sensation, but they said using autologous costal cartilage + septal cartilage was needed to get the nose look I wanted...
I also think ear cartilage probably never could have raised it to this height.... I feel like you only really understand after getting the surgery lol.
It feels different from week 1 and week 2 again. Now that it's around week 3, I think I understand why the clinic says the major swelling goes down within 1 month lolㅌ
The director also said it will become more natural and change a lot so that even when touched, it feels like my own nose, so I think I just need to wait now.
I want to take pretty selfies soon! ㅠ
