After I hit my nose hard a long time ago, it hurt a lot for a while and I felt like it was hard to breathe. A few years later, I noticed my nose had become very slightly crooked. If you don't look closely, you might not notice it, but anyone who saw me after a long time said my impression had become less pleasant.
So I looked into it quickly and had septoplasty. They shoved something like a rod into my nose and hammered away with what looked like a mallet, and while doing that, it seemed like they were shaving down the cartilage. Later, they removed the bandage from inside the nose and so on. People interested in this surgery will probably have already searched all that up, so as someone who has experienced it, I'll just tell you the key point...
You really should consider cosmetic nose surgery, especially maintaining the shape of the nasal tip. If you've joined this community, many of you are probably also considering cosmetic surgery. These days, most hospitals seem to suggest cosmetic work as well, but there are still people who are uncomfortable with cosmetic surgery and choose not to do it. Like, you might do your eyes but not want to touch your nose...
I was in such a rush that I didn't think about anything, but later on, I noticed the tip of my nose had become blunt and droopy. It's not severe, but the difference from before is definitely there. Before it was like ∠, and now it feels like ¿? Before, if I pressed the tip of my nose, there was bone there too (well, cartilage, probably), so it wouldn't sink in, but now it does. I used to hear quite often that I had a nice nose, so I'm really disappointed.
And there was another problem. Because the tip drooped, the shape of the nostril inside changed too, so mucus seems to collect in the nostril at the tip. When I blow my nose, it gathers in the nostril at the tip ;;;; After blowing my nose, I have to clean out the nostril at the tip....... If I don't do that, it hardens later and when I try to remove it, it hurts a bit. If I catch a cold, it's very troublesome.
Since they cut out cartilage, I guess the support disappeared by that much and the nose drooped. In the end, it seems like you need to rebuild support equal to the amount of cartilage that was removed. I don't know if every case is like that, but if your nasal tip was sharp and full, please seriously consider this part. Don't end up looking into nose surgery later like I did ㅠㅠ
