It’s now almost been 2 weeks.... As time goes by, the swelling is going down well... I’m still not at a stage where I can feel completely relieved, but.. Still, I’m going to take good care of it for at least a month... The most uncomfortable thing right now is... that my nose keeps running when I eat.... lol When I eat outside with friends... tissues really are a must.. So when I eat, I lightly block my nostrils with tissue while eating. These days I’m taking rhinitis medication... Oh, by chance my friend had some leftover Rizaben, so I’m also taking Rizaben... I asked the hospital, and they said if I have the medicine, it’s okay to take it, so I’m taking Rizaben too. I feel like a lot of the swelling has gone down now.. but strangely, I liked my nose better when there was still a little swelling.... I wanted a nose where the bridge was a bit thick, should I say... that kind of nose.. but now that the swelling has gone down, the bridge has become slim haha For about 3-4 days after removing the bandage, I seriously even thought I’d rather the swelling not go down haha As the swelling goes down, I’m starting to see that the nose is slightly crooked Even before the surgery, the hospital told me that the bridge would look crooked and said I should have the surgery expecting that... They said because my face is asymmetrical, the crooked nose can’t really be helped... Osteotomy is possible, but it’s not a crooked nose to the extent that osteotomy is necessary.. and although osteotomy could correct the crookedness of the nose, because my face is asymmetrical, it could instead make the nose feel like it’s leaning to one side, they said... When I look closely at my nose, I can see it’s crooked too... but if I just roughly look at my face overall, the crookedness of the nose doesn’t show.. So even if the nose is crooked, I’m just going to be satisfied with the fact that the bridge is higher.... Anyway, other people look at the overall image, not just one nose... and since it’s not very crooked, I’m just going to let it pass hahaha And since I had an open approach, there is a suture mark on the columella area.. but now it’s almost not visible.. Unexpectedly, the red line doesn’t show much.... These days the incision sites inside my nose are healing, so they often feel itchy... I guess the threads are dissolving now... so after a certain point, I’m going to go to the hospital and have the dissolvable stitches removed... The area where ear cartilage was harvested has almost no pain now, and some people say it hurts when they listen with earphones.. but I don’t have any pain.... I’m struggling now because of sebum on my nose... I’m thinking of doing a nose pack or exfoliation starting about 1 more week later Oh, I used ear cartilage and septal cartilage.. It has become less hard than at first, but it’s still hard.. especially the septal cartilage in the columella haha But it doesn’t make daily life uncomfortable Now the weather and humidity are getting higher... For those preparing for surgery... it’s hot, but if you endure just a little, you’ll have a pretty nose.... Everyone, stay strong~ haha
