Hello,

Today I learned about something called the depressor septii muscle which can be cut during open rhinoplasty. This can create a depression in the upper philthrum where it connects to the nose, and change upper lip show and upper lip and nasal tip/columellar coordination when smiling.

I am pretty sure mine was cut and this is why my smiling and side profile/face appear different..

Any thoughts on depressor septii muscle regeneration?

I am feeling so fatigued and defeated right now..

Hello all, I am interested in restoring the shape and form of my columella, in my research the reason for my columellar retraction is because of over-resected septal cartilage. I am interested in knowing if septal cartilage can be regenerated to address issues like this and septal perforation

Hello! I am graduating this spring with a BA in Anthropology. I pursued anthropology because I am interested in the intimate storytelling capacities of the genre of ethnographic research, and its power to illuminate social problems and possibilities.

I believe animation and film is a powerful genre for amplifying important stories, and as a lifelong artist and writer, I think it would be a dream to study animation next (... in Paris!! alongside incredible artists producing world-class work. like WHOA!!)

Though my bachelors is not art-related, I've done multiple solo art exhibits, contributed illustrations to publications, run a student art group, and taken various filmmaking and graphic design classes while in college.

I know that to apply for a Masters at a school like Gobelins, I must have a bachelors degree in art or work experience.

I am wondering if applying after self-studying animation for the next few years and taking on various indie gigs/projects to build up my portfolio would make me eligible to apply? Would contributing to indie projects (rather than some high-end "official" studio) count as work experience?

I understand Gobelins is probably a long stretch -- extremely extremely competitive and prestigious. If there are any other reputable and affordable animation masters programs you might recommend for me to consider, those would be appreciated as well -- as well as any advice you may have for me as an outsider hopeful about getting into animation!

Thank you for reading, I really admire the skill and expertise of those inhabiting this digital space r/animationcareer !
