Living with my new nose
WORTH IT$4,397
So,... This is it. I know my nose is still a bit swollen. I need to massage it frequently. But I'm really pleased with the results. The doctor knew exactly what I wanted. Happy!

My nose is already less swollen. I have a big crust now in my right nostril, right on the scar. But it doesn't feel uncomfortable. I'm using a moisturizing nose cleaner spray (sterimar, a microdiffusion of sea water) and antibiotic drops. I may use them 3-6 times a day, but I prefer not using them too much either.
I'll be happy removing the support strips tomorrow, because they make it hard to clean your face and to put on day cream etc. Also, my nose stopped dripping. Sneezing and coughing is still a discomfort.
Besides that: Happy to see my nose is smaller. My boyfriend thinks the difference is huge already, but I think it's just fine. I think that's because I'm so, so obsessed with my nose. Well, I think I can say 'was' now, since I really feel happy :)

I haven't been sleeping really well, because of the packing. And I've finally had the packing removed. Although the doctor only packed up one side of my nose, the side he 'cut' open, and it was a small pack, it still hurt a little bit. He put on two adhesive strips, for support and to prevent excess swelling, which I may remove Sunday evening.
I can already tell my nose is smaller. It's still swollen, which is normal, and one nostril is bigger than the other (packing), but that will disappear along with the swelling.
I have my next appointment one month from now. Swelling, be gone!

Thanks so much for sharing! I think your nose was already beautiful but understand that you'd want it to be just right. I am going in for revision rhino next month, after i was left with a nasal valve collapse 15 years ago... I don't dare to hope for perfection, any improvement will get me over the moon... Curious to see your final result... All the best!!
