Yea, me too, all along I thought that diced cartilage won't warp - how can it warp if it is diced?

 

Yea, rawdude, you should stay on, don't go away...you are a great help for us all.

 

Rawdude, you are very funny, LOL!!!

But I can understand that those in entertainment have to undergo some surgeries which is good for the eyes of the fans..

 

Sorry, I don't mind girls having surgeries but in the case of a guy, it doesn't appeal to me. As for male Korean stars, I don't mind looking at them and watching their films, but to have one as a husband, no, no, no...sorry. I myself like boys with natural look, they are more masculine that way. Sorry, this is my frank answer.

 

Is it a bump inside the nostril? I had one too but it disappeared once I had the implant removed.

 

Where did you have yours done? What kind of implant did you choose?

 

11days? It's too early to tell. The swell will continue to go down so don't worry....by 6 weeks, it would look better so just be patient.

 

Destiny1682,
How is your nose now? Does it feel hard? Do you have any pain on the ear?

 

Sorry I forgot how long ago you have the implant removed...maybe you can consult your doc about the contraction.

 

I understand your feelings : but just to let you know that there are cases where the nostrils drop a little bit. For example, in my case, I had the silicone implant for 1 and half months but found that it didn't suit me so I had it removed and in the beginning, after the removal, the nostrils did seem more exposed and now after 9 months, it is like before, though I still have septal cartilage left on the tip (the doc said there was no need to remove it); but a friend had her silicone implant removed completely after 2 years and she said her nose became as before op, before she opted for another surgery to give herself a high bridge. So I hope yours will be back to as before after sometime. Give it time.

 

You had your implant for only 3 weeks before removal, so don't worry. It takes time for it to be normal again. Don't worry, let time heals it.

 

I understand what you mean.....mine was like that with silicone and I had it taken out.

 

I agree with you - one surgeon in Texas said that it was easy to remove goretex....anyway he also uses goretex for bridge augumentation.

 

Hi, I had my implant on the bridge removed after 1 and half months - it is now several months ago and it is back to normal except my tip is higher since my surgeon said it was no need to remove the tip (septal cartilage) - I like my tip now and for me, it took quite a while for me to have my nose back to as before, so don't worry, give yourself time to heal.....

 

Snowmouse, thank you so much for your advice, support and info provided. I had my nose implant removed, phew, like you, what a relief!!

 

Thank you so so much for sharing - I share your sentiment.
Can you please tell me how long you stayed in Korea to have the implant removed? Where did you stay? And how long is the swelling? Many thanks for your reply.

 

I have heard of this technique too some time ago - by an American doctor.

 

Thanks for the link - does your doctor speak English? How do you get appointment with him, by phone?

 

I am curious about how one looks if the tip with cartilage is left behind but only the bridge implant is removed. Anyone gone through that, please? Thank you!

 

Like you, I want mine removed - I prefer the old me because the new nose doesn't suit my face. May I have the name and contact no. of your doc just in case I need him to remove the cartilage too? My doc told me that there is no need to remove the tip but we'll see....and he told me to wait till 3 months...sigh...you can pm me if you like.

 

Tiplasty - to sharpen the tip - this takes a longer time to deswell than rhino.

Double eyelid - incision type will take as long as 6 months to look normal again.

 

nosenose, after the removal of implant, you said the nose looks wierd - did you have the tip done before that ?

Many thanks for your reply.

 

sorry, second post

 

Hi, nosenose,

Thanks for your reply.

May I know what did you use for the tip?

Don't worry about it swelling nosenose because it would take up to a year to deswell.

Did you remove your tip cartilage as well?

You can pm me if you want. Looking forward to hear from you.

 

Can anyone who has implant taken out let me know if there is any sagging of skin and does the nose return to its former height and shape?? Thank you!
