Yesterday was exactly 3 weeks,.
For now, I’m trying not to focus too much on my nose and am just going about daily life,. I’m still meeting acquaintances.. I still look in the mirror, but I’m trying my best. My nose started feeling really hard and tight from day 12, and that lasted until day 20, so I think it may have been the contraction phase.. From Sunday, the hardness seems to have loosened a bit, and I met friends in that state (my friends think I had it removed), and apart from it looking lower, it does look a bit different from my pre-removal nose, but they said it didn’t seem noticeable. The problem is that since yesterday, after the hardness loosened, my nose looks even shorter. My nostrils show more too,, and my nose before surgery was one where the nostrils showed a lot, so I don’t think it’s only because of the contraction phase and it seems like it’s going back to my original nose shape ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I tried to upload photos, but in the photos it doesn’t look that noticeable,, when I look in the mirror it’s really obvious though,, A lot of people worry about the contraction phase, but,, it may vary from person to person., if your original nose wasn’t a hooked nose, I don’t think it ends up looking so noticeably obvious that others can tell... maybe only you feel it strongly? So I don’t think you need to worry too much... Even I get completely thrown off every day when I look at my current appearance, and every time my nose shape changes day by day... but I just have to accept it ㅜㅜ what else can I do? ㅜㅜ It seems to change every time I look at it,, sometimes it looks a bit lower.. sometimes it looks a bit more lifted.. the important thing is that other people don’t know.. I’ll probably look more lifted as time goes on., because my original nose was a lifted nose,.. I think at least it’ll be a little better than my old nose ㅜㅜ What’s frustrating is that only with time can I really know what my nose shape is, and that part is so irritating. If the shape were decided all at once, I’d just be shocked once and that would be it, but this keeps changing as time passes, so it’s frustrating not knowing how much it will lift or what shape it will become. And regarding what someone wrote, the fact that it’s “getting uglier” seems unavoidable,. I’ll post photos once between 4 and 5 weeks
