I had early removal at the hospital where I had the surgery, just now. Surgery date 1.11 / Removal date 1.30
1. Surgical method Open approach Silicone implant on the nasal bridge under 2 mm Used ear cartilage as a nasal tip support strut and placed ear cartilage on top No other manipulation besides the two methods above
2. Reason for early removal (no inflammation at all) Vague fear of silicone side effects 70% Discomfort and foreign-body sensation after surgery 20% Cosmetic dissatisfaction 10%
3. Early removal consultation details Because the inserted silicone was very thin, there would not be a big difference in height. Since it had not healed yet, the removal itself would be easy. However, because it means damaging the wound once more, it is not good for the skin tissue. The scar may become darker. Also, although the possibility is low, the chance of contracture is not zero, so it would be good to take capsular contracture medication for two months.
4. Removal method Sedation anesthesia Surgery time within 1 hour Removed through an open approach Silicone removed Ear cartilage removed except for only the absolutely necessary parts
5. After the removal surgery Just like during the surgery, I had a splint, taping, and nasal packing with cotton all done. The pain feels more stinging inside the nose than during the first surgery. My nose definitely feels lighter.
6. What I felt -I feel so pathetic for going ahead with surgery without being aware of the side effects of silicone. -For nose surgery, I personally think people like me who are overly sensitive and worry a lot should not do it. -If your face before surgery has a cute and gentle impression, please do it only if you are willing to accept that your impression may change. After surgery, no matter how low the silicone is, your impression changes.
I’ll come back at the one-week mark. I’m not disclosing the removal hospital because it is the hospital where I had the surgery.
