Hello. I’m someone who had nasal tip cartilage inserted, then had it removed 1 year later, and it has now been almost 6 weeks since removal. Maybe because of my skin type, I already had somewhat of a bulbous nose, but I thought that if I raised my nose, it would look more defined, so I inserted two layers of ear-tip cartilage to raise the nose. But the result was that only my nose looked bigger... So I endured it for a year and had it removed around the Lunar New Year holiday in February.. Well.. maybe because only 2 weeks have passed, my nose feels swollen and puffy. The nasal tip is also lifted, so the nose feels like a wide triangular shape. Only the nasal dorsum has become wide and high, so it feels like my old bulbous nose has become much worse.. My nasal bridge used to be fairly pretty and straight, but now it comes down in a triangular shape along the widened nasal dorsum, and maybe because of scar tissue.. the area around the nasal ala is still slightly pulled upward, like Choo So-young’s nose. To summarize what is different from before: - Volume in the nasal dorsum (makes it look like a bulbous nose), the area leading into the nasal alae has become unclear, and the part where the nasal bridge and dorsum connect has become puffy and wide.. - The slight downward point at the center of the nasal tip disappeared, so as a result the nose looks shorter.. When I ask plastic surgery clinics, they say I need to wait at least 6 months to know the shape, but honestly there hasn’t been much change lately.. I feel hopeless. I wonder whether there is still swelling left, or whether there is swelling that can still go down.... - Will the volume in the area where the nasal bridge and dorsum connect improve more? Is it swelling, or will it remain permanently puffy because of scar tissue? My nasal bridge looks bulky. - Will the nasal tip... come down more? - Will the heavy volume and wide feeling of the nasal dorsum go away? Because of the nasal dorsum, my nose looks triangular and wide, so I really don’t want to meet people. At an age when I should be meeting many people and enjoying myself... for 1 year I disliked my operated nose.. and now these days I dislike my nose after removal, so I’m depressed and just staying shut in at home... Ah... everyone, please think carefully before getting plastic surgery. Then I’ll wait for your valuable replies.
