For my revision surgery, they used donated costal cartilage and ear cartilage for the nasal tip and raised it a lot, so I really like the height right now. It’s been 3 weeks and 4 days. They say that over time it gets absorbed and becomes lower. I heard the reason it gets absorbed is that the nasal tip skin presses on it, and that pressure gradually causes absorption. My skin is on the thick and firm side too, so when I laugh, yawn, or eat something, it feels like the nasal tip is being pressed. So when I’m about to laugh, I lightly hold the tip of my nose with my thumb and index finger like I’m blocking my nose, then laugh. It became a habit, so even normally I touch my nose like that once in a while (not hard, just lightly). People ask me if they smell bad If I do this, will it absorb a bit less.. Oh, and drinking alcohol often has nothing to do with absorption, right?? My nasal tip is so precious.. please don’t get lower, pleaaase The photo is what I do It is kind of funny All this over a nasal tip
