A few people asked me about how long it takes to recover and how many days I took off of work. So I am posting the pictures here for you all to see how it healed each day. I went back to work after day 11.

Your nose looks great. I have a revision next Tuesday and I might need ear cartilage. How has been your ear after the surgery?

Both of my ears look fine. Even my husband forgot that my ears have their cartilage taken out. When I touch my left ear, it feels perfectly normal. My right ear feels s bit softer but I notice it is firmer now than when it was first got cartilage removed. I think my body is building it back.

Hi There! I have the exact same issue with my current implant. I had rhinoplasty 18 years ago, and over the years the implant has shifted (is now completely crooked), and is also protruding out the tip :( I'm hoping to get a revision to remove the implant, and reconstruct my nose with my own cartilage as well. Your nose looks very natural! Thanks for sharing, this gives me hope that this issue can be fixed!

Hi AriaK, may I asked what material the doctor used for your bridge replacement? You look good!
