It’s been 2 weeks since I removed the silicone and part of the nasal tip cartilage on May 31. Since I was a case where my hump had been rasped down, what I was most worried about was the nasal bridge, but thankfully it doesn’t seem to have changed much from before surgery. So far there’s no bumpiness at all either. From the front, it does look a little flatter than before.. but it’s to the point that other people probably wouldn’t notice. Around one week post-op, it looked much flatter than now. But once the swelling went down, it improved a lot. I’m thinking positively that once the swelling on both sides of my nose fully goes down, it might look a bit slimmer from here haha I left the cartilage tie in place, and maybe because of that, my side profile is better than before surgery. But my nasal tip is still blunt and plump. Even after removal it became incredibly big, so I was very worried, and although the swelling has gone down a lot compared to the early stage, I think it still has a long way to go before it fully goes down. Ah, and as of today, my nasal tip feels a little firmer I wonder if scar tissue is starting to form If only the nasal tip would slim down, it would really be just right.. For those who had removal, when did your nasal tip swelling fully go down? Anyway, other than being bothered by the nasal tip swelling, there’s no inconvenience in daily life at all. Maybe because I didn’t remove all the cartilage completely, I don’t have any pulling sensation or contracture yet. Most of all, I really like that the silicone doesn’t show between my eyebrows Then I’ll monitor the progress and post another review later~
