First of all, I had it removed today. As you can tell from the title, this is probably an unprecedented review in this community of removing 25-year-old silicone and ear cartilage. After taking it out, it turned out to be a technique where ear cartilage had been stacked on the nasal tip. An ear cartilage strut, 4 mm silicone, and at the time, it was new technology!! I was the biggest beneficiary of a groundbreaking new surgical method!!
So, these are my specs, and first, my reason for surgery.
Since I was young, I was a generator of all kinds of nicknames. Why? Because I had no nasal bridge.
Many people will probably say, “Come on, I don’t have a nasal bridge either.” Mine was pathologically absent. Anyone could see my face looked like it had been punched once, then caved in and never came back out. These days they call those trendy pop-it bubble things, right? The ones you press and they sink in deeply. That was the kind of face I had. Every nickname that was genuinely kind of funny ended up being mine lol Of course, I slept face down, and I don’t know why, but when I was young, I had injured my nose too, and I also often intentionally slept in a way that pressed my nose down. Little me, did you know I’d be suffering like this now? ㅠ
Anyway, after the surgery, I started to look human, and it somehow suited me, so I really lived well. My appearance also moved into the upper tier. But I was always embarrassed, honestly, because it was surgery. Since my nose was so low, even after raising it 4 mm, it didn’t show much. “Could that really be surgery?” “No way, probably not.” Those kinds of thoughts made people fail to notice that I had nose surgery, and I lived well without thinking much about it. From time to time I bumped it and had nosebleeds and things like that. Still, the silicone held up well.
But after twenty-five years, a problem happened. It started moving, there was a foreign-body sensation, and a sharp tingling pain inside my nose. In the end, after reading this community, I even had it removed. This community feels like a double-edged sword. If you read it because of side effects, you really do get information, but also despair, anxiety, nervousness, and even the addictiveness that makes you keep reading with sweaty palms. I recommend reading in moderation. I had it removed today, and it’s swelling a lot. I’ll post the rest of the surgery later.
