This is my fourth time, so I pretty much know the whole recovery process, and I also know how everyone feels when the mentally stressful period hits. Honestly, it hasn’t even been quite a month since surgery yet, and usually the look around one month doesn’t change drastically, right? But the swelling changes were different for my primary surgery, revision, second revision, and third revision, so I’m curious how long I need to wait this time for it to go down completely. Right now my nostrils show way too much, so I’m kind of annoyed;; During my revision, the nostrils settled down quickly, but this time it’s totally giving monkey. For everyone who’s had multiple revisions, not just a primary surgery, was it different for each person?
코코봉2 I’ve had multiple revisions too. What swelling are you talking about? The lifted nostrils? Or swelling of the nasal ala??
bin85 [@Cocobong2] Swelling of the wide-open nostrils on both sides of the nose But the inner flesh where I had nostril lowering done is visible when looking from the front
코코봉2 [@bin85] I haven’t had nostril lowering, so I don’t know what swelling of the nostrils on both sides of the nose is like During my third surgery, from one month to three months, it lifted severely as if I had contracture because of scar tissue, but in the end it all came down. It kept coming down, then from around year 2 it stopped coming down, and after more than 3 years my nose also got thinner.
