<Non-open removal of nasal bridge silicone> Last night, I removed the gauze that was inside my right nostril. (Right-side non-open approach) I didn’t notice when the gauze was in, but after removing it, my nostrils were uneven. Since one side was cut and flipped and went through all that.... I’m thinking positively, telling myself it’ll get better with time once the swelling goes down~ Only the nasal tip and the area between my eyebrows feel stiff, and there’s no pain. When I press the nostril, it feels soft.... Under the taped area, before removal, the silicone showed through in a U shape, which stressed me out. When I smiled or stretched my philtrum, it looked even more prominent.. After removing it, that show-through is gone, so I’m just so happy Looking at reviews, people remove the taping on day 3, but the place I had surgery is a bit far from home, so I have dissolvable stitches and I’m managing it at home. I have to remove the taping on day 5 and go to school. The swelling will go down more, right? I’ll post another review then~~ (The nostril photo is from day 2, but there isn’t much difference from now, so I’m uploading the day 2 one.)
