I sharpened the one with a little hook and wanted to make the tip of the nose taller, so I put silicone on the bridge of the nose to match the tip of the nose. I used the nasal septum and ear cartilage for the tip of the nose. ! Its the 2nd week, but its not as swollen as I thought, so its strange. I have friends who have had nose surgery and they had some swelling. Maybe I have a constitution without swelling haha There are minor swellings, but there is no big swelling, so its not really bothering me when going out to eat or something. I dont like it either!
