I had no surgery and my shape improved a lot, so it went as I wanted.. A week later, I took off the bandage and thought, "Did I do well with the surgery?" I think I lived relatively well for over a year after that.. I couldn't wash my face, I couldn't bury my face in the pillow, my nose felt weird, it got itchier, but I couldn't dig my nose, I couldn't rub my nose, I couldn't squeeze my blackheads, I felt a foreign body, and sometimes when I moved a lot or lay on my side, it felt like something was pushing inside, and I couldn't exercise as much as I wanted.. Other than that, I was fine (looking back).
But around 10 months?, I started having an unknown symptom. My nose started to itch..! And after about two or three months, the symptom went away, but after that, the symptoms got worse and worse. At first, it was just tingling, but then it started to sting, sting, sting, sting. Now, even when I'm still, I feel pressure, sting, and sting. Since the inside of my nose hurts, my ears also hurt. If I get a nosebleed, my nose gets really itchy and sore... I didn't have these symptoms before..?
It's definitely not sinusitis or something like that, and when I touch the inside of my nose, it feels like the cartilage graft is poking my flesh. I had a feeling that something was slightly lowered from its original position and it felt like a foreign body.
After looking into it more, I found out that some people had a cartilage prosthesis + nose tip (non-implanted) done 15 years ago and lived without any problems for 14 years, but suddenly developed inflammation and are preparing to have it removed. Some people are suffering from inflammation after giving birth. Some people are taking painkillers every day for unknown reasons 1 year and a half or 5 years later...
I thought I would be fine if I had the surgery (if there was no necrosis or inflammation right after the surgery). On the contrary, doctors sent me away, saying, "It's non-implanted, so there won't be inflammation," so it's harder to find the cause, and there are cases where the pain doesn't go away even after removal, so I feel more anxious and vague. Rhinoplasty isn't something that ends the first time, so I really regret getting it done and want to turn back time. I'm going to train myself to give up on my appearance from now on.
