It was my first surgery, and I had functional rhinoplasty with autologous costal cartilage done at the same time. After taking a walk today, the swelling suddenly went down a lot, and I thought my nose shape came out really pretty. Before that, I looked like an Avatar, my eyes looked close together, and I kept worrying and feeling anxious, wondering if this was normal and whether it would stay like this. But seeing the swelling go down with my own eyes today makes me feel like it will keep getting better, and I’m gaining confidence lol
Oh, but does autologous costal cartilage pain normally last this long? It’s legendary that it still hurts
