Before removal, I was so upset that I kept endlessly searching for ways to return to my original nose. I read maybe's posts carefully from the beginning, and they helped me a lot. For 30 years of my life, I often heard people say I was pretty wherever I went. As if I were possessed by something, I ended up getting nose surgery. It was a revision surgery, and I had not looked into costal cartilage in detail either (I absolutely will not share hospital information.) After surgery, seeing that it had become too high, the nasal tip had become long, and the bridge looked Avatar-like, I spent a month thinking it must be swelling and that it would settle. I felt I absolutely could not live like this, so I searched for removal, made up my mind, and had it removed after only 3-4 weeks. I still have a splint and taping on, so I cannot know the shape, but I hope it is not devastating. I go next week to have the splint removed, hoping the nasal tip that looked like Pinocchio's has become rounder..

I am planning to remove the nasal tip cartilage completely, but has anyone had it lifted? / or sagged? I am going crazy. Could you tell me how the shape of the nasal tip changed?? Will it be similar to before?
