These were taken at the hospital on the day of removal. It’s day 4 now, and my nasal tip still seems high. I can’t really see because of the tape and splint, but it feels like my nasal tip is lifted, and it keeps feeling tight. Ugh....... What should I do? I hope I don’t despair after taking the splint off. I had it removed because I became Pinocchio after surgery, but even after removal I’m worried all day, and somehow it does give me some comfort.
