My dr says the swelling is down a lot. It's numb on the tip and very tender to the touch still. I have desolvable stitches in my nose still that don't seem to want to leave. I tried gently tugging on one and it was instantly horribly painful so I guesse I'll leave them. My friend called my nose cute. That's never happened before so that was very nice to hear.

I see this post was from several years ago - it randomly showed up on my feed.
For anyone else who might be reading this and is going through rhinoplasty, though, the sutures will more or less come out on their own. It took a good four to six weeks before mine started coming out. I would just blow my nose and see a little string hanging down out of my nose and was able to gently remove it. It kind of feels like pulling dental floss out of your nose. Really weird feeling!

Cast off today

I had my one week post op appointment today. The cast and stitches were removed. It hurt a lot to have the stitches pulled out. It's all very sensitive.

I like it. I know it takes a long time for swelling to go away so I can see the real results but I was hoping it would be a little less swollen then it is. I guess I'm just being impatient. I also think the way I see it needs to catch up with what it looks like now, if that makes sense.

Right after my cast came off my nose was a lot more swollen than I imagined. It really went down. Now I'm about 3 weeks. My tip is still swollen.
