Hello, I received a lot of help from this community before getting complete removal, so I'm leaving a review too
Right now, after complete removal, I'm living very comfortably and doing really well!! I originally meant to leave a review one year after removal.. but I lived without thinking about my nose, so I'm only leaving one now
The biggest reason I decided on complete removal was the foreign body sensation, and now I'm living comfortably without any foreign body sensation.
I had surgery only on the nasal tip without an implant, and I thought it was done with septal cartilage and ear cartilage, but after removal, it turned out there was no septal cartilage, only ear cartilage and AlloDerm Before my cosmetic surgery, the doctor said they would do septal extension and place ear cartilage, but during removal they said there was only ear cartilage
To talk about my side effects after cosmetic surgery.. 1. Foreign body sensation and pressure A feeling that the nasal tip pulled too much and felt heavy when making facial expressions 2. Cold nose sensation Even when it was only a little cold, my nose felt ice-cold 3. Alar cartilage protrusion 4. Occasional unpleasant, tingling pain
For the reasons above, I had complete removal around 3 years after surgery.
The foreign body sensation and pressure disappeared completely after complete removal, but after a little more time passed, my nose started pulling a lot again This slowly improved starting around 3 months later, and now my nose is comfortable with no foreign body sensation or pulling.. Because the foreign body sensation had been so difficult for me, this is what I'm most satisfied with Before removal, my nose was extremely hard, but now, although it's not like my original nose, it's soft enough, and I can blow my nose or touch it comfortably without worrying
The cold nose sensation and tingling pain also disappeared after removal
For the alar cartilage protrusion, they said they would tidy it up as much as possible, and I think it went in about 50 percent.. It didn't go in completely, but since I'm living without worrying about my nose, I barely notice the protrusion now
And my current nose is a third nose, somewhere between my original nose and my surgically operated nose I didn't really like the shape of my surgical nose either, so I think my original nose, surgical nose, and current nose are all about the same lololol The only disappointing thing is that my nose feels slightly droopy, but after time passed, this doesn't bother me much either People around me don't really notice that I had removal, and even my family didn't notice.. haha
I was so anxious about every single symptom that appeared after complete removal First my nose pulled, tingled, itched, turned red.. I had all kinds of symptoms, but they all disappeared with time. And on the day the splint was removed, the swelling was seriously no joke, so my nose looked like Aebong's nose, but time fixed that too. Please don't be too shocked after splint removal..!!!
But.. I developed pigmentation that I never expected at all. I had bruising and then hemosiderin deposition developed, but it has faded too, and other people don't seem to notice it much, so I've just given up and am living with a relaxed mind.. hahaha
I wondered when to get removal, and after more than 3 years passed, I finally had it done. After complete removal, I regretted not removing it sooner and freeing myself from my nose... My side effects kept being added one by one as time passed.. I thought I should have removed it before the alar cartilage started protruding... when I was even one year younger and had better recovery ability.. lololol
Through experiencing nose surgery and complete removal, I realized that what matters in humans is not external beauty but inner beauty (lolololol) and my values changed a lot too.. I want to tell my past self to use the money for nose surgery to travel, enjoy hobbies, eat delicious food, and live happily
The clinic where I had surgery is shown if you look at my previous posts!
I hope you all get freed from your noses soon too
