Before<Before><After splint removal><2 weeks><Side after splint removal><2-week side view>I had surgery with osteotomy and ear cartilage, without an implant.
It was a revision surgery, but the first one wasn't cosmetic surgery. I had surgery at a local ENT clinic because of rhinitis, where they cut out part of my nasal septum. I wish I could go back to that time and stop myself ㅜㅜ
My nose became crooked, and because too much septum was removed it became weak... the scarring is really severe.....ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ
Anyway, I gave up on making it pretty, and the goal was to breathe properly and treat my complex about the crookedness. It was the same director who did my double eyelid surgery, so I trusted him and went into surgery with peace of mind.
It was an osteotomy surgery.. but I didn't have much bruising or swelling... All the stitches have been removed, and it's day 14! A bit of the dorsal hump remains, and the nasal tip has come down compared with the beginning, but I hope it doesn't come down any more nowㅋㅋㅋ At first it looked like an upturned nose, so I was startledㅠㅠ
I ate spicy food and feel like I didn't manage my aftercare properly, so I'm worried it might become crooked againㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
The inside of my nose is swollen and the columella also seems crooked, but I'll keep watching it... For anyone considering rhinoplasty for functional reasons like me, I hope this helps even a little!!
