I only had the tip of my nose done. They made a support on the nasal septum with ear cartilage, gathered and tied the cartilage, and grafted cartilage onto the nasal tip. Is there anyone who had surgery with the same method as me and then had it removed? Honestly, when I compare it with old photos, it has become a little slimmer, but I hate how uncomfortable it is for the amount of effect I got... The doctor keeps only saying it'll get better as time goes on, and doesn't seem to want to mention removal at all, so... I think it's been about 9 months now. The columella? I hate how hard that part is. I have a habit of rubbing my nose, and every time I habitually touch that area, I feel that foreign-body sensation or momentary discomfort and stop touching it. It's hard when I blow my nose because it's hard, too I also hate having to be constantly anxious about my nose in case something goes wrong... Does it really become more comfortable over time, just as the doctor says? I'm actually anxious that if I believe that and leave it in longer, it might be worse when removing it later.. Is there anyone who had it removed after a few years? The later you remove it, does it differ a lot from your old nose? Or does it not matter when you remove it... Anyway, the hospital where I had surgery doesn't seem to have any intention of removing it, so if I do it, I think I'll have to do it somewhere else. The cost is one thing, and it's frustrating
