Ugh, to get straight to the conclusion, the stinging feeling in my nose has mostly disappeared, and it just feels like an ordinary nose with no foreign body sensation! It still hurts if I touch it.. Why didn’t I do this sooner I’ll organize what I felt after having surgery this time
1. Side effects can appear even 20 years later I had mine removed after 20 years, and before that I thought side effects were something that happened to other people Funny, right But that’s really how I felt. I had no functional problems, and the shape was natural, pretty, and suited my face well I couldn’t make a pig nose, but I lived fine for 20 years without much foreign body sensationㅇㅇ.. Actually, about 10 years ago? I was shocked after seeing someone on the street whose nose was horribly upturned, so I did some research and went around to a plastic surgery clinic once because I got worried about my nose too Back then I went to various places and got CT scans and all, but I was told my skin elasticity was good and the silicone position was okay, so unless there was a problem, there was no real need..? After hearing that, I really thought side effects were someone else’s problem It was only recently that it seemed strangely visible and I felt a foreign body sensation. This winter... I immediately looked into removal, and after the surgery I was told it seemed like there had been inflammation When I saw the capsule photo, it looked so bumpy and ugly... They said they removed everything
2. It seems like you can’t know the nose’s condition 100% until it’s opened While suturing after surgery, they asked whether my nose had ever turned red or anything, and said there had been inflammation I was really shocked hearing things like my nasal tip was thinner than expected and had almost been perforated There was nothing where I thought, is this inflammation? It didn’t lift up and it had never swollen either; The doctor said that during consultation, when diagnosing me, they didn’t think it would be in this kind of condition They said I was lucky... I was still groggy, but hearing that woke me right up from the anesthesia I really felt like you just can’t know with the nose... I was so glad I went right away when I felt something was a little off
3. If something feels strange or you feel like anxiety is spiraling, go to the hospital right away I said I suddenly got anxious about 10 years ago and went around to hospitals once, right? I think I went to two or three famous places at the time, and everyone seemed unsure, so I thought, well, if the doctors are reacting like that, I guess I’m okay.. and lived with peace of mind I think there are many people here who feel anxious and scared even when there is nothing particularly wrong, and I really recommend getting a consultation. Hearing that it’s okay can make you feel better But if there really seems to be something wrong, like a foreign body sensation, functional issue, show-through, redness.. etc., even if real life makes it hard, I recommend going quickly no matter what and getting diagnosed Whether it’s removal or revision surgery, whatever decision you make, knowing the condition comes first Because of real life, I also had to take time off work and arrange my schedule, so it was honestly a bit of a stretch But I don’t regret deciding right away
4. I’m the only one this interested in my face.. To my eyes, I can clearly see that my nasal bridge and nasal tip came down, but other people don’t really know I did hear that my impression became a bit softer? cuter? and someone asked if I got Botox Since it was closed surgery, the swelling went down quickly and there’s no scar, so that may be part of it, but people care less about my face than I expected.. Of course, it would be different for someone who had their nasal bridge and nasal tip done as dramatically as possible I also think people here who pursue that kind of look may often decide on revision surgery Phew, this got long as I wrote it The photo was taken by my family when I went to my parents’ place (they still haven’t noticed;;;) and since it was yesterday, it was day 10! For the time being, I’ll just observe my nose with a relaxed mind
