Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, Turbinate Reduction. 4.5 weeks post-op.

I'm almost 5 weeks post-op and I'm feeling really good. I've had a cold the last week which has resulted in a little extra nasal swelling overall, but amazingly I haven't been completely congested like I would have been before my surgery. My husband has also noticed an improvement in my snoring - bonus!

The swelling has come down a lot in the bridge of my nose. It's thinner and not very tender anymore. I've actually noticed a small bump in the bridge (probably where my "bump" was removed). It's not too noticeable, so I probably wouldn't have it rasped down if it remains. I do still have a lot of swelling in the tip of my nose. It's still pretty numb and tender. I have to say even with the swelling, I love my new nose. It suits me much more than my old "serious" and severe nose. I'm changing my "not sure" to "worth it!"

My cast is off! I have to admit it was a little uncomfortable getting the stitches out, but I was happy to have the splints and gross sutures out.

I am so happy with the results. I absolutely love my new profile and even though my tip is super swollen, I know I'm going to love it in the end. I think my new nose makes me look happier and more youthful. I've added some updated pics and will definitely update as swelling subsides.
