Hello. This is my 1-month review.
- 14 years ago: Silitex inserted up to the nasal tip + ear cartilage, closed approach - Silitex removal, nasal cartilage suturing, open approach
Now that a month has passed, breathing is comfortable, and of course there is no pressure or foreign-body sensation. The nasal bridge is fine, but the nasal tip hurts if I touch it with force, and it’s fine when I touch it normally. Since there’s no reason to touch it with force, I don’t. The open-incision scar is still dark. The scar isn’t recovering as much as I expected. The open-incision area is a little hard, maybe scar tissue. As for the shape, it has definitely improved compared with before, perhaps because the swelling has gone down. Most of the major swelling went down by week 2, and since a few days ago the minor swelling around the nasal bridge has gone down more, so the bridge looks a bit less pressed down. I’m satisfied with the shape. At first, because of the cartilage suturing, my nose looked upturned, but now it has come down just right. I don’t know when the contracture period comes, but I don’t think it has come for me yet. It moves softly left and right, but I haven’t tried making a pig nose because it pulls at the open-incision area. Inside the nose is still a little uncomfortable. I’ll come back at month 2.
