I didnt have a bridge at all, but now I have it. At first, I had a feeling of foreign body and my nose was hard, but now its soft. We plan to do it on a one-year cycle. But it doesnt seem to have much effect on the tip of the nose. It is recommended for people with a low nose bridge. Ive had bruising and swelling for a week, but other than that, theres almost no relief.
