The first 2-3 days were a bit tough, but after that, daily life became possible and I'm so very satisfied. I recommend getting the surgery done quickly! I've also had autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty before, and honestly, that was more painful... Surgical pain varies from person to person, but I think the director's surgical skills are important too... This hospital is a top-tier facility for chest surgery, so I just trusted and entrusted my care to them!
