Worth It
Spent: $10,000 in NYC

I did not like the appearance of my old nose. I'm very happy with the results. The healing process was not too bad, although there was alot of bruising at first.

I by accidently pulled out a large clump of dried blood with dissolvable sutures while I was cleaning my nose 9-10 days after rhinoplasty. Did I damage the results? I'm really concerned. I feel that this may affect the appearance of the tip of my nose once i'm fully healed.

I am 8 days out from my surgery and did the same thing! Thought it was a scab and tugged it with tweezers, ended up getting a yellowish-clear string and thought oh my god. I snipped it but I am so scared. What was the end result for you??
