Today I put on makeup for the first time in a really long time.. and took photos while working my part-time job The swelling has gone down a lot. Now I think it just needs to settle in a bit haha I’m not sure if this is the contracture phase There is a slight pulling feeling, but these days I’m deliberately not paying much attention to it. And the shape doesn’t look that different either..
When the contraction is a bit severe, it can look lifted, whether it’s just my mood or real, but it’s not constantly pulling. It feels like there are intervals where it pulls then relaxes? tightens then relaxes, but my nose isn’t visibly moving up and down like a toy, so it’s not something you can really see. The reason I’m talking about it this casually is that other people really don’t notice it much. They don’t really know either. (Of course, if I later end up going through a properly serious contraction phase, I’d be a bit depressed... but they say it almost returns. Worrying in advance is really bad for mental health.) And for me, this isn’t what matters. What I hated most was suffering because of the silicone..
(You get it, right? If some unknown red pimple-like thing appears, ‘Oh no, this is inflammation’ / If it looks even slightly swollen, ‘This is inflammation.. yep’ / Open Naver, ask Knowledge iN, search, come into this community, read posts, then think ‘There are way more people with serious side effects than I thought, and this is exactly my symptom, yep,’ then go ‘I’m screwed,’ get stressed, and start crying And then all your time is gone <— I hate this the most. I wasted so much time because of my nose, only worrying and stressing!! So even though the ear cartilage is still there now, the doctor said there are no cases where one’s own ear cartilage causes trouble after it settles, so I trust that and am living comfortably now)
But one problem is that my nose is lower than an average person’sㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So today I watched a contour makeup video on YouTube and did it, and that’s how I finally got some confidence to take selfies. Until yesterday my emotions were up and down, but I’ve almost already adjusted... I also dotted on a mole with eyeliner. For the purpose of distracting attention) Haha but it got covered by the community text.. Anyway everyone, fighting!
