I asked to have my nose made shorter and had surgery. They put in 1 mm silicone and used ear cartilage. Right after surgery, I mean while it was taped, my nose looked okay? It seemed like it turned out the way I wanted. But now it’s day 5, and the bridge is way too high, while the swelling at the nasal tip has gone down too quickly and it looks lower, so my nose actually looks longer lol I saw the doctor today, and he said that as the swelling goes down, the nasal tip will lift and become higher. He said the immediate post-op appearance is the final result, and that 99.9% of the result I wanted came out, the surgery went well, and he’s confident about it... He is a director with 20 years of experience. But can this really happen, logically??? When swelling goes down, things get lower if anything, so how does the nose become higher? Since taking the splint off, I’ve just been crying all day because it’s so emotionally hard.. Everyone who had a similar case to mine, please leave a comment.
문니스 Did you lose any facial fat or anything like that..? That must be so annoying....
키미노나마에와 [@Moonnis] I don’t think it’s a facial fat issue..
익명 Yeah, me. As the swelling went down, it became higher, so my nose ended up looking more obviously surgically altered than when it was swollen…
키미노나마에와 [@] The bridge? The tip? Could you tell me what kind of surgery you had?
익명 [@Kiminonamaewa] I had it done with donated costal cartilage, and the nasal tip became higher. But overall, it did become more pointy.

키미노나마에와 [@] I see…. Ah, I wanted a short, small nose, but after taking the splint off it’s long and big, so I really don’t know whether just waiting is right or whether getting early correction is the best option. The way my nose looks now, I really don’t think it’ll turn out in the direction I wanted, but the doctor is so confident..
핑크벽지 I was like that too. Once the swelling went down, it actually looked higher.
키미노나마에와 [@Pink Wallpaper] Did your nose also look a bit upturned? How was it for you?
쏘sso The doctor is right After rhinoplasty, over 2-3 years, the nasal tip keeps dropping, so they overcorrect at the very beginning. If it looks pretty now, later the nasal tip will droop and get lower, and the shape will become weird, like Squidward
키미노나마에와 [@쏘sso] Ah, for me the problem is that my nasal tip looks low right now
핑크벽지 [@Pink Wallpaper] In my case, they lowered the nasal tip compared to my original nose Honestly, I think the tip was lowered quite a lot, so I do feel disappointed..
헬로헬로키티쨩 How did it turn out? I’m in the exact same situation right now too
