I looked into surgery because of rhinitis and had it done at an ENT clinic, and now I’m on day 3. I said I only wanted my hump shaved down a little and some cartilage tying, just about that much, and they said okay. But they said osteotomy might also need to be done, so I said okay to that. I said I didn’t want ear cartilage, septal cartilage, or anything inserted as much as possible. They said it might be necessary depending on the situation, so I asked them to go in the direction of not using it as much as possible… When I woke up, they said they used ear cartilage and equine cartilage, and I’m mentally falling apart… I’m scared of side effects too… I said I didn’t want to use them because of side effects… haha… I want to take them out right now if I could… There doesn’t seem to be that much information about equine cartilage either… Would early removal be better…? The psychological burden is too severe…

Other hospitals all advised me against removing everything, but only here they pressured me to do it. There’s no inflammation, and it’s just dissatisfaction with the shape plus a bit of discomfort breathing, but as soon as they heard I had
Nose Re-Surgery@rhino-redoApr 13 If the nasal tip turns red, is it definitely contracture?
My nose doesn't hurt and I don't feel any foreign-body sensation. But the nasal tip keeps looking red and slightly swollen? The swelling isn't severe enough to bother me a lot. I often hear that if inflammation or contracture develops, it…
