It's already day 11 since I had the silicone removed... Today too, I am getting through these hard times while regretting my nose surgery. The area where the silicone was removed still tingles, and it seems like most of the swelling has gone down. But there is no major change in the shape of my nose. However, since yesterday, I have felt something tightening inside my nose. The nasal tip is also becoming hard. In a way, it feels like my nose is contracting overall and getting smaller. My head feels dizzy. Is this part of the normal process after silicone removal? Or is contracture coming back again? When I read reviews from people who had silicone removed because of inflammation or a foreign-body reaction, the reviews always seem to stop around this point. Did they recover well enough that they no longer care about their nose and stopped coming to this community? Or were they so deeply hurt emotionally that they no longer had the mental space to post? How long will I be able to keep posting these writings? I can only hope it is the first. Because it must have been a difficult time for everyone. Today is another day when tears come
