I had my hump shaved down, used septal cartilage, had the cartilage tied, and used 3 mm silicone. It’s been a little over 3 years since surgery, but from the first year, the shape of my nose started looking strange.. Now.. it has become a hump even higher than my original hump and the nasal tip that had been raised has all drooped. It’s worse than before I had it done. The coworkers I work with keep making a fuss telling me to get hump surgery I couldn’t bring myself to say it became like this because I already had it done.... ha... I’m stressed, and recently I went to another hospital, and they said there’s something like fluid collected between the nasal bone and the silicone.. I never thought something like this would happen to me.. I think I’ll need to separate the silicone removal surgery & inflammation treatment / revision surgery. After removing the silicone, you’re supposed to wait 2 to 4 weeks? (I’m not exactly sure) before surgery. I’m thinking of just telling my coworkers I’m having my hump shaved down, taking 3 days off, leaving the septal cartilage as is and removing only the silicone. Would it swell extremely badly? And would they be able to tell that I didn’t shave down the hump, but removed the silicone? Sigh... I’m spending every day with so much stress and worry I’m also worried whether the revision surgery will go well........
