5 Weeks post op

I still tape my nose everynight. My breathing is getting better but I can't blow my nose yet so it's a bit stuffed. I can sleep and eat normally now. My swelling has gone down a lot and the taping really helps.

My one side is still more swollen than the other but it's getting better slowly..

Here are some photos

2 weeks post op

Hello everyone,

I am 2 weeks post op now! My breathing is getting better day by day and my eating is back to normal now. My smiling is also getting better but not fully back to normal yet. I clean my nose with saline and rolled up toilet paper everynight. I still feel stitches inside my nose so I'm too scared to poke around in there too much. I apply Mederma on my nostril stitches at nights. It makes my skin a bit itchy but my scars are almost gone now. I tape every night and sometimes throughout the day. Taping during the day really helps with my swelling I find. I haven't had any caffeine or alcohol yet and I'm going to hold off as much as I can (although I am past the 14 day recommended period).

My family compliments me on my nose :) Friends notice that my nose is different. One of my old friends saw me a few days ago and she mentioned it right away. I surprisingly don't mind talking about my rhinoplasty - I have learned to be comfortable with it. This procedure has given me a lot more confidence - I can take pictures from any angles now and my nose looks nice and it will hopefully get better from the front as the swelling goes down.

I have uploaded some photos that I have taken over the past few days.
