WORTH IT
One month post-op today!!! So far the swelling has gone down a lot, but the tip still has a long way to go! Especially my septum which is still extremely swollen and down far. I absolutely love my new nose and cant wait for the time to go and see how it sets.

Day 6
Yesterday I got my packing out and my stitches removed and although it was the weirdest sensation/experience ever it feels a thousand times better. Once the packing came out the swelling in my lower face went almost right away and even the bruises under my eyes seemed less apparent. I still have my cast on until next Monday but I can't wait to see the results! My nose already looks a lot different even with the cast on and I can already tell its a lot smaller! I am soo excited.

It feels sooo much better!! It's so much easier to do everything when you can actually breathe through your nose haha.

Hello, glad your feeling better! im really scared about waking up and not being able to breath out of my nose, does it feel really weird and uncomftable?

It's just like having a really bad cold. I am definitely a nose breather so I was really nervous about it too but it really wasn't that bad. It did get really annoying by about the 4th day because my throat was sore from the surgery and during the nights it would get really dry from sleeping but once the packing comes out all is good!! Don't worry it'll be worth it!

Hi,
You look so great just 2 weeks after :) You must be so happy and excited! What did you have done exactly? Did you have bone work? And how does it feel to wash your face after the cast comes off? I am just trying to gather info as my surgery is just 12 days away...

I am really happy with the results so far!! I had a bone work done and lots of other stuff as well. Washing my face after was really weird. My nose had SOOO many black heads and had a lot of dry skin. For the first two weeks it was really tender even to lightly wash and moisturize but by week three it was normal.

Your nose will continue to look better and better! It is crazy how much swelling you have in the beginning! You look great!

Day 3 Post-op
I am having a really hard time right now. My face is super swollen and I have a sore throat and my face constantly throbs. I have been icing and taking pain killers which help a bit but not enough. I cant feel my upper lip or my front four teeth. I am scheduled to get my splint off on Monday at 2:45 and I really hope that when all the packing comes out that makes a huge difference

Ow you poor thing!! It's a shame you still have packing in, as that just makes everything feel worse. The swelling will come down significantly soon, give it 2 or 3 days. Make sure you're upright all the time, that makes a difference. Just remember it's only a matter of time and you'll feel better and have a fabulous new nose! I felt really awful days 3-4 then improved daily. Keep us posted! :-)

Just remember to drink plenty of liquids. My throat was SUPER dry because that is how I had to breath in and out when a cast was on. It definately sucked! and the feeling will come back in a few days...Can't wait to see the results!!
