I just had all my silicone + septal cartilage removed! I was worried because of show-through + concerns about side effects + asymmetry, and I figured that rather than living anxiously for the rest of my life, I should just live comfortably, so I went ahead and did it right away..
I got a lot of information from this community, so if there’s anything I can help with, I’ll answer everything.
I had it done at one of the top three, and I think I chose the hospital well. The doctor checked everything before and after surgery, and I could feel that they really paid attention. Actually, when I went for the consultation, they spoke very realistically, saying it could turn up, the nose shape might not come out the way I wanted, and it couldn’t go back to my original nose (they said it would come out somewhere between my original nose and my surgical nose). But I actually liked that more. Since removal doesn’t involve putting in a support structure, it’s natural that the shape can’t be adjusted exactly as desired.. For my first surgery, the doctor was too confident and only said good things, and it ended up failing, so this time I looked for a hospital that would really realistically explain both the benefits and side effects..
They removed the splint right away at the hospital, and now I only have taping on! There’s almost no bruising, and only a little bleeding, but they said that’s normal. I saw my nose right away, and even though it’s a bit lower, it’s not a sharp, angular nose but looks round and like a human nose, so I really like it From now on I need to manage the swelling diligently.
