I finally got my nose sutures removed yesterday. It definitely feels like the swelling goes down better once the sutures are out. They said the shape of my nose is good, but the recovery on the left inside my nose is a bit slower than the right (until the day the sutures were removed, brown discharge was only coming from the left side), and there are a lot of scabs and a lot of mucus, so I was told to keep applying the medicine properly! I will have to see how much more the swelling in my nose goes down, but I do like the shape and the overall feel.. + But the hump that was shaved down during the first surgery was cut lower than the original bridge, so the bone below it has come out like a new hump Since the silicone was removed, I guess there is nothing I can do about it, but I am worried it may look even more pronounced once the swelling goes down... I keep going back and forth between liking it and not liking it... I am embarrassed to post photos, so I am deleting them now....
