I was so ignorant that I was brave back thenㅎㅎ My parents also opposed it at first, but they agreed after seeing me save up for the surgery cost. They said they used 3 mm of L-shaped silicone. One side of the septum collapsed, so my nostrils became uneven, but the doctor from the first surgery said it was fineㅡㅡㅋㅋ and I just kept living like that.
13 years after the first surgery, the silicone kept dropping and becoming visible, so I got a consultation and had revision surgery. The surgeon said my nose growth wasn’t even fully finished, so why did I have surgery so earlyㅜㅜ and scolded me... There was no contracture or inflammation, but they said if I left it alone, the silicone would soon break through my noseㅠㅠ Anyway, I decided to have the bridge and tip done with I-shaped silicone and ear cartilage, and had the surgery yesterday. I didn’t know what condition my nose would be in, so I had general anesthesia. When they opened it, they said one side of the cartilage had completely collapsed and broken into piecesㅠㅠㅠ They said it was incredibly fortunate I was getting surgery now... Fortunately, they said the surgery went wellㅎㅎㅎㅎ
For those thinking about revision surgery, you know your own nose best. If you sense something odd, please go to the hospital right awayㅜㅜ
I’ll keep posting reviews as the swelling goes down!!
