Hello, I had septal extension and then removal, and I'm now entering my 6th month after removal. The reason I'm worried after removal is... After the removal surgery, while I was in the recovery room, a nurse mentioned an artificial implant to me, and at the time my body felt so awful that I couldn't even respond or ask any questions...
The artificial implant she mentioned was mesh, and at the time I didn't even know what that was. Later I looked it up and found that it was an artificial implant, and also a type that gets talked about a lot in this community...
Even after removal, I felt uncomfortable psychologically... I only told one person I personally got to know through this community about this, but I was worried someone else might recognize me from my old ID, so I'm writing this now with a different ID...
First, I called the hospital. I wanted to ask what had happened and whether it had possibly been used... At first, the counseling manager seemed to try to wrap it up on her own. But when I said that I heard it from the nurse while I was in the recovery room, she said, then wouldn't it be enough to open it up again and show you, and if anything is left inside when we look then, we will remove it...
Before surgery, there was no mention of an artificial implant... I thought it would be done only with my septal cartilage. My appearance has returned a lot to my previous image, but even though it has returned, one corner of my mind still isn't at ease...
I already have no trust left in the previous hospital, so even if I have another surgery and open it up, I don't want to do it there...
I'm going to visit other hospitals in May, and I don't care if it costs several million won. I just want to live with peace of mind...
They said that even at a university hospital, even if they take a CT scan or something like that, they can't know for certain...
What would you do if you were me?ㅠ My previous appearance has come back a lot, but because of something I didn't know before surgery and the hospital's attitude afterward, I'm still having a hard time psychologically even after surgery...
I would appreciate your help. For reference, I do not want revision surgery (I don't want to put anything else into my nose). I want to confirm whether anything is there, and if something is left, only remove it and end the surgery... ㅜ
Even if I have surgery, it seems it would be done around the 8-month mark. Would that be too much strain on my nose..? And would there be a hospital that would perform surgery in a case like this? It would also be a problem if everyone says they won't do it... If you know anything, I would appreciate it if you left a comment.
