Wow.. it’s been such a long time since I came in here... I just suddenly.. remembered the time when I was suffering as if going back and forth through hell, so I came in with a wistful feeling... and it hurts my heart that there are still so many people having a hard time ㅠㅠ I had complete removal exactly 2 years ago, and in between I had what seemed like contraction periods, so I got startled, wrote posts here, went to the hospital, and made such a fuss, but now, in conclusion, I’m living well while forgetting about my nose(?)^^ Of course, if my nose suddenly feels strange again, I’m sure I’ll get startled and scared and make a fuss again..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ But since it hasn’t been like that for almost a year now, I finally have the peace of mind to say I’m living well like this ㅎㅎㅎㅎ For those considering removal, I know so, so well how scary, worrying, and painful it feels ㅠㅠ I was the same, too. It really felt like hell; I cried every single day and stayed up all night just looking at this community ㅠㅠ When it was severe, I honestly even wanted to die..... But everyone will do well..!!! Back then, I was so desperate to read reviews from people who had removed theirs a long time ago, and now, as someone who has some time behind me, I want to give you strength!!! If you leave any questions in the comments, I’ll try my best to answer them, even if it’s later~!!!
For reference, I had surgery twice and removed everything on the 3rd time. I had complete removal of silicone, septal cartilage, and ear cartilage, and I also had the capsule removed. I removed them because of pain and show-through at the nasal tip. I’m satisfied with my current nose shape..!! (Of course, there are some things I still feel a bit disappointed about...) People around me don’t really notice. There is a slight change in my image, but I think they just assume it’s because I gained weight and got older ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I wondered if a day would ever come when I could live happily in real life without thinking about my nose. It does come!!! I’m sending good energy to everyone who is in pain and having a hard time because of their nose. Fighting!!!
ps. When I was having such a hard time because of removal, I was in an open KakaoTalk chatroom with people who went through it together(?) and I’m so curious whether everyone is doing well... We all got attached to each other and gave one another the empathy we couldn’t receive in real life, and it was such a big comfort.. So even long after my removal, I still hadn’t left the room, but one day the room suddenly disappeared ㅠㅠ Hing.. I wonder if those people from back then are all doing well. If any of you are here, please leave a commentㅋㅋㅋ The room name was something like “Let’s all stay strong!”
