3 Months
Quick update on the 3 month anniversary of my surgery.
Discovered a stitch under my columella so i asked my surgeon. He leaves a 4-6 month dissolvable stitch in so no worries. I think there is one on the inside of my nose too.
Still swollen and numb tip but much better than a few weeks ago. Some days are definitely better than others. I gym 4 days a week and can really feel the swelling while working out. Overall good though, just looking forward to my nose feeling 100% normal.

2 months
Getting a little better every day. 2 weeks ago I saw my sugeon for the 6 week check-up. Dr Goh was very happy with everything and just told me to keep looking after myself to help the recovery. Up until a few days ago not much had changed. Now I am at the 2 month mark I am noticing some softness in my nostrils and columella so it seems the swelling is definitely at the point where I can see light at the end of the tunnel. After working out, the swelling definitely increases and takes a couple of hours to subside. I’ve stopped taping at night now as it is no longer helping and interferes with my sleep. The way things are going I am hopeful that in a month from now the swelling will be at the stage where I don’t notice it physically.
Swelling
One month post op. No real problems but I did want to highlight a couple of things for anyone considering rhino.
4 weeks after surgery and my nose still feels weird. A liitle better every day but the numbness, stiffness and heavy feeling persists and i think it will last at least another month.
I am happy with how my nose looks now but the swelling on the tip is still huge. It’s true what they say, if you have thick skin it will take a long time (probably 12 months) for the swelling to resolve. You are going to need lots of patience.

Specialist Plastic Surgeon
51 Ballow St., Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Queensland
A highly skilled plastic surgeon with a flawless bedside manner. If you are in Brisbane I highly recommend Dr Goh. Dr Goh listened to my concerns and what I expected from surgery. He explained everything calmly and honestly and with realistic expectations. The outcome was fantastic and the recovery was easy due to he's gentle approach to surgery.
