Review on day 8 after silicone removal

Hello! I got my stitches removed today!! The swelling on my nasal bridge has gone down a lot, so it looks fairly slim now, and the nostril/alar area is still like a firm cherry tomato. I had silicone inserted about 2 mm at the glabella and about 3 mm along the nasal bridge. When I look at myself from the front in the mirror, I can barely tell the difference from before removal, and when I take photos, because of the swelling, all I see is the nasal tip/alar area. From the side, I can see some difference in photos, but in the mirror I can't really tell. Anyway, I'm satisfied because the shape came out well!! Now that it's been a week since removal, the throbbing has also decreased a lot. But the nasal tip sometimes feels tingly.. The director said this is all part of the healing process, and recorded everything I said in my chart. I was grateful that they listened carefully to everything I said... but then they said I might be a bit sensitive... sob sob They said there was no inflammation at all, so it's really unclear, and I wonder if it's nerve-related... Now I don't know either. Whether I'm really feeling it sensitively... Anyway, this is my one-week review. It turns out life doesn't fall apart just because there's no silicone. Rather, I'm living with enough satisfaction and gratitude, feeling like I had nasal tip surgery!!
