I got a lot of help from this community, so I’m leaving this in hopes it helps others too.. It’s embarrassing, but I’ll post it.. Please tell me if it looks strange
It’s been one week since surgery. I had the splint and tape removed today, so today is the first time I’m seeing the shape too The wound hasn’t fully healed yet, so I need to have the remaining stitches removed again on Wednesday
Mine was a revision surgery I removed the silicone, corrected my bulbous nose and nostrils, and corrected my droopy nose. During my first surgery, the droopy nose wasn’t corrected enough, and I wasn’t even greedy about silicone, but they put in 4 mm, so I had a really hard time emotionally for a year I hated that the silicone showed under fluorescent lights!!! Also, my nasal bridge wasn’t that low, but they made me look like Pinocchio, so I was really stressed My nose started from between my eyebrows.. Sigh I think I did well to remove it!! If you really have no nasal bridge but have a lot of soft tissue on the nose and thick skin, and if you’re not that sensitive, silicone might be okay.. But I had some nasal bridge, thin skin, and not much soft tissue, so it was way too obvious Please think very carefully about silicone! It feels so good to have the implant removed!!
The only uncomfortable thing now is.. I had nostril reduction, and they said it’s currently fixed with dissolvable sutures.. It feels uncomfortable because it’s fixed Does this become natural over time?? If anyone has experience, please let me know!!
