Autologous costal cartilage <<< breathing trouble was harder

I was getting fillers, but I figured it would be better to just get my nose done for real, so I went ahead with surgery. I was told autologous costal cartilage is the best if you want solid long-term support, so I also consulted with that in mind and kept going, but when I actually heard people around me saying it hurts and leaves scars and so on, I got worried and started to hesitate. Still, because autologous cartilage at least stays hidden while my face is always exposed, I ended up using autologous costal cartilage, basically swallowing my pride and going along with it. The hospital kept recommending autologous costal cartilage, which annoyed me, but since they showed me predicted images from a surgery they had already revised two or three times at my request, I had no choice but to go with it when they kept insisting on autologous costal cartilage. I really wanted to look exactly like those photos. But just one day after the surgery, I thought I had completely messed up and regretted it a lot..... After the nose surgery with autologous costal cartilage, my nose really hurt and my side hurt like crazy too, but because the nasal packing made it hard to breathe, I was mentally exhausted and drank tons of water........ And I thought I would feel better once the packing came out, but when it came out I was still terribly swollen and realized breathing would still be hard, which crushed me....... On top of that, since I had seen the prediction photos before surgery, it was even harder to accept Because of the short-nose correction, the tip was extended longer, but on my actual face it felt even longer than expected, and I just wanted to cry... But I had been told not to laugh or cry, so I swallowed it inwardly......ㅗㅗ;; At least after a month, as the swelling started to go down, the line began to settle in somewhat like the prediction photos... The nose that had seemed to droop down long also found its proper size as the swelling eased.... My face started to look a bit more three-dimensional... This is the part I like most!! The hospital reassured me that it was still early swelling and would continue to go down,,,, But is that really something to be reassured about The reason I picked this hospital in the first place was because it seemed like they did natural-looking work well, and because they fit my needs by not over-raising the tip, the result absolutely had to turn out naturally,, that should be a given I have no confidence in going through breathing trouble like that again I just want this first surgery to be the end.... Now that I’ve gone through all that, the line has become much prettier, and the hospital said to feel free to leave a review, so I’m posting this... I feel like posts like this are not written very often What I learned from getting surgery this time is that all the pretty people in this community went through all of this too... It really hit me again that becoming beautiful takes that much effort... Nothing in this world is easy
