My first surgery was with septal cartilage and silicone, and this time I’m getting autologous costal cartilage + slight osteotomy of my wide, spread-looking nasal bones + columella lowering + FitMe + bulbous nose correction. Ah, I’m so, so nervous about how much it’ll hurt… lol I heard that if you have a lot of upper-body fat, the rib cartilage harvest site hurts a lot too. I’m the type who gains weight in my upper body, so I have a lot of upper-body fat, and they said my rib cartilage is deep… I’m pretty good at tolerating pain, but during my first surgery the pain was so bad I wanted to die, and I’m prepared for it to probably be worse than that, but since I’m also getting osteotomy this time, it’ll hurt tremendously, right…? Ah… I hope this revision is my last one and I never have another revision again…
Lalaby Hmm… Since your condition is one where it can’t help but hurt… I think preparing yourself to some extent might actually make you feel more at ease.
우삼겹된장술밥 Osteotomy hurt so, so much until the packing was removed Look at my review.
솝솝 I wasn’t in pain. Maybe it was because they put me on a pain-control injection~~ I’m on the thinner side.
innnyyy [@Lalaby] I’m really looking forward to the pain,,^^! Thanks for the comment!
innnyyy [@우삼겹된장술밥] I actually already saw your post! I’m getting osteotomy too, so I’m really nervous
innnyyy [@솝솝] There are places that give pain-control injections too, huh..? Thanks for the comment haha
건실한청년 I want to get my surgery soon too..
Ji1128 Huh, it hurts if you have a lot of fat?? I’m scheduled for revision surgery too, and I went to 3 places, and they all recommended autologous costal cartilage.. But none of them told me it would hurt if I had some fat I gained more weight while waiting for surgery, so I’m worried..
쩌1o28 Where are you thinking of doing it?!!

Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redoJun 7 Hi. It's been a really long time since I posted. I need advice about nose implant removal.
