Still healing. Still have the good ole swollen tip. Had a CO2 laser treatment on my scar. Skin looks crappy for the first week then it's supposed to look better. We will have to find out. It didn't hurt, it was just slightly hot and sounded like little bottle rockets going off, while some lady sprayed a bunch of cool air at my face. My scar is thick and raised on the inside of my nose still, and you can see it from the sides. Hopefully by the year mark the scar will improve a lot, that's usually how I heal. My nose has slight asymmetrical aspects to it but I'm sure its swelling, because it's all at the tip. The only other thing is I still have that ever so slight bump at the top of my bridge that I did before surgery, but it's not really a big deal because you can't see it from the side and it looks natural, since I never really had a hump to begin with. I think it'll probably still go down a tiny bit because my PS said he couldn't really see a bump but there might just be a little swelling there from where the bones had to reconnect. Overall I'm just waiting for the year mark so I can stop avoiding hitting my nose.

Last night my fiancé bumped my nose with his shoulder! He hit the tip of it, not hard, but I am soooo worried nonetheless. I was freaking out all night because it looked a little more swelled at the tip than usual, and I was worried I'd done something to mess it up. Now that I think about it and have read some stuff online, I don't really think it's going to cause any problems. I didn't hit the bridge, where I had the osteotomies, so I don't have to worry about rebreaking or fracturing it, or misaligning it, which is the main worry when it comes to hitting it. I didn't have implants or grafting done either, just removing some cartilage from the tip so I think bumping it isn't going to hurt it and change my results, just make it swell a little bit more for a day or so. I didn't bleed, and I didn't have trouble breathing afterward, and the pain only lasted maybe 5 seconds so I think that's a sign I didn't do any damage, hopefully. It doesn't look any different either, so that's good. But I see my surgeon on the twentieth anyway for my six week post op and to laser my scar so I'll ask him about it then. Ugh.
