I had surgery last Friday and today is the 5th day. The surgery itself is deviated septum + nasal bridge + tip of nose is made of silicone and nasal septum + ear cartilage In the meantime, there is no swelling or bruising as much as I thought because I had been walking a lot and applied a lot of ice in the meantime. Scratching was the most difficult. Oh, of course, when I took the cotton off, I experienced hell while shed tears. The problem is, I went today and took the splint off, but the tip of my nose is still higher than I thought. I dont think its the straight nose I wanted... Im a little worried
