Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 22:
I spoke with my surgeon today, he says everything is looking great! He also says that I still have swelling so my nose should get a little bit smaller as that goes away. Im not seeing him for another 3 months, and even then is just another check up to make sure things are still on course. He also said I could resume physical activity which I'm ecstatic about. Running and motions that shake me up are out of the question for awhile still, I ran like 10 feet the other day and I could definitely feel that it was something I shouldn't be doing, but just getting back to weights and yoga will be plenty for now. Ill post pictures every once and a while to log my progress, but Im not expecting too many changes past this point really. maybe like day 40 pictures?
Day 21:
I never took those day 15 pictures, sorry people. Ive got an appointment with the doc tomorrow just to check on how things are going. Overall Im much happier with my nose now compared to pre-op, and I also think my nose looks way more natural than when the cast first came off. Being 3 weeks post-op more of the pain is gone but sometimes I still get head-aches. Ive started my fall semester and anybody I tell that Ive had surgery is surprised because I look pretty dang good for having surgery just 3 weeks ago. But we will see what the doc says tomorrow.
Day 10: Finally my cast off!
Finally. Finally. Finally. Its Day 10 and my doctor told me after 10 days I can remove the cast. From what I hear, typical you go into the office and the doc takes it off, but mine told me to let mine come off around day 10, so I took a shower to soften it up, and it just lifted right off really easily. He said after about 10 days the swelling should have reduced enough that it should be loose, and since it was already feeling loose just like he said, i felt like it was time. First Impression: I though my nose looked a bit skinny, but I mean it was being squeezed for 10 days straight so I guess it makes sense, but after some time passed it levelled out a bit. I can tell there is still swelling (which is normal at this point) but the results thus far are looking good. My tip is higher which improves my profile, its straighter and not quite as big, and I'm expecting as the swelling subsides some more over the next few days to see some more changes, so only time will tell I suppose! I plan on posting more pictures in about 5 days or so.
