My crooked nose was so stressful that it has been quite a while since I had revision surgery using autologous costal cartilage. For a while at first, there was still swelling, so I thought I should wait longer, but now the line has definitely become more natural and slightly slimmer. From the front, my nasal bridge used to tilt to the side—about 5 to 10 degrees to the left? That has been completely corrected, so I am very satisfied. The tip is also much rounder and softer than before, and its defined shape suits my face well. Since it was revision surgery, I thought it would take a long time for the swelling to go down and for everything to settle, but in reality, the period when daily life was significantly inconvenient was only about a week. I was extremely worried because autologous costal cartilage was used, but seeing the scar at the harvest site gradually fade makes me feel it is okay. A few things I felt: The more times you have revision surgery, the more reassuring it is when the surgeon personally checks you even after the operation. Every time I went for a follow-up, the surgeon personally touched my nose and checked its condition, so I rarely had to worry alone. Do not be impatient about the swelling going down lol. At first I kept looking in the mirror and wondering when it would go down, but in the end, time solved it. People around me have also said my nose looks prettier, and these days my nickname is “nice-looking girl” haha. There is still a little residual swelling, but the crookedness has improved well and I like the line, so I am feeling better.
