Hi I just got the splint taken off my nose today and I almost cried when I left the office. I thought I looked liked a pig but my doctor didn't see it. However, he said the swelling would go down within the next month. I am very worried though because I have to go back to school and I can't look like this..I had a tip that came down when I smiled and I asked for that to be turned up. But I didn't want it brought up too much and now I am worried that it has. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Here is a picture from today, it has been a week after the surgery.
