It's been a while!! I'm sorry!

Hey guys sorry I've been MISSING for so long! I've been overwhelmed catching up with school and work I haven't had time to update you all. Well I'm 4 weeks post op 2 days shy of a month and I'm loving my nose more and more everyday!! At 3 weeks I went out with some friends and had a couple of drinks ( 4 beers and 2 Irish car bombs to be exact) and I didn't see too much of a change in my nose as far as swelling goes. Since I stopped sleeping elevated I have been waking up every morning with my nose pretty swollen. I can't sleep without a humidifier because the air is too uncomfortable without it. I get congestion in my left nostril more than my right idk why tho. If I slerp on my left side my nose just gets stuffed up in the left side not so much do when I sleep on my right. I had a beer two days ago and my nose did swell noticeably. Idk if it's because I hadn't eaten much during the day. My scars are slowly disappearing ( they weren't noticeable to begin with but are now almost nonexistant) I can't wait until the swelling is gone and I can enjoy my nose completely but I know great patience is needed in this recovering

Two weeks post op!

So things have been going very very well! I fall more in love with my nose every day! It's still swollen more so in the morning than in the evening. I've been using saline mist religiously! It is magical! Lol my nose is still numb at the tip but as days go by I get more feeling in it.

11 days Post op

So it's 11 days post op today and Feeling pretty good. I'm still sleeping elevated bc I'm afraid of turning over and crushing my nose. I've read on here that it's good to continue sleeping elevated for three weeks so that's what I'm gonna do. Swelling hasn't gone down since cast off. It's been at this plateau stage for the past three days.
My nostrils and inside my nose has been so dry it's getting really bothersome. I returned to work today after being off for two weeks( I'm a bartender) and my nose was just soo ridiculously dry inside and out! I ran out of my saline mist half way through my shift which made things even worse.
I've also been using aquaphor on the outside of my nostrils at night bc they get so dry.
I've been using witch hazel on my face and nose morning and night after washing my face to control the oilyness of it. I put it on a cotton pad and gently apply it all over my face. My nose is still really tender and the slightest touch stings especially on the tip and bridge. My top lip is a little numb and when I smile I feel like my nose is so stiff lol
I can't wait until my nose finally settles in.
So far I am very happy with the outcome and do not regret going under the knife at all. :)

Dr. Philip Miller is amazing! The work he does is unreal! I cannot say enough about how great he is at what he does. He listened to what I envisioned and wanted and saw exactly what I was thinking and executed it 100%. I trusted him 100% and he achieved the results I dreamed of! If you have an ethnic nose like I did you can trust in Dr. Miller. He did wonders with my nose and I could not be any happier!
