I’m really glad I chose autologous costal cartilage for my first nose surgery!

I originally had so many complaints about my nose… My nose was on the low and short side, so every time I looked in the mirror, I wondered if I had to live like this forever My friend said, “Why worry so much when you can just get your nose done?” but that’s easy to say. Since it was my first surgery, I was really scared bb So at first, I just went to consultations at a few places, almost like window shopping. I asked about things I was curious about and looked up reviews, and then… at some point, I suddenly felt like I really wanted to do it lol I didn’t think I should just keep worrying and end it there, so I eventually got surgery at D-Day! I wanted a somewhat glamorous look, and more than anything, I really wanted to be done with it after my first surgery. Looking at reviews, I heard that a lot of people use autologous costal cartilage for their first surgery these days. There were also a lot of progress photos with exactly the kind of nose line I wanted, so after the consultation, I decided almost right away lol It’s still only week 2, so the swelling hasn’t completely gone down yet, but don’t you think I’ve already gotten pretty far away from that low, short nose look? Of course, I’ll only really know once more swelling goes down and it settles, but for now it feels like I achieved my goal Since it was the first surgery I’d ever had in my life, I was really nervous before surgery, but seeing the result makes me wonder if I just spent too long worrying for nothing lol From the front and the side, it looks less short, and I like that the line from the bridge to the tip came out much prettier than I expected lol At first it was hard because the cotton and splint made me feel so stuffy, but now those are all removed and I feel like I can live much more comfortably lol For now, I’m waiting it out for more swelling to go down…!
