Swollen...

I've woken up this past week swollen and feeling a tightness... Hubby says he can't tell. I guess is more than a feel thing... My tip is still pretty hard but rite getting softer by the day. Still very tender. It hurts if I hit it even slightly.. Also, I feel this pains around the nostrils like being poked with a needle.. Yikes!! But, big but, I think that's how my skin reacts to being cut cause 15 yrs ago I got my gall bladder removed and I still have those pains ocasionally. ..yep, 15 yrs later. It's not horrible pain. Just find it weird... Has anybody else has experienced this? I haven't posted more pics since I don't think there's a difference. I'll wanna wait 2 more weeks and see if there's any changes.... Having said all that.. I am very very happy. I used to avoid looking at my nose. I would put on make up and concentrate in my eyes, mouth etc... Never even bothered with contouring it since didn't think there was much that could be done lol.. Neeeever would I look at my profile. Now I see my face in the mirror as a whole.. Does that make sense? Lol...

3weeks post op
MrsebakerJanuary 9, 2014
Recovery has been smoth. Pressure on mu brdige lasted for almost 2 weeks but its now gone. Sometines though when im aboit to sneeze it burns a lil on the insode and i get random pains like needles on where ny nostrils where cut (sounds worse than it is) i feel that its slightly crooked to d left but im assuming cause its still swollen. My tip was rock hard but it has soften. Veery little though but still hard to d touch. Again, i think its because its swollen still. Whats ur take on this? People tha dont know i had a nose job havemt said a thing. I cleverly (or so i say) started using glasses to confuse d enemy lol. I dooo need them btw. My hubby left to visit his mom for 3 weeks so he didnt seemy nose till 2 days ago. He was very pleased yhat my face didnt change and iys very natural looking. I agree. What do u think?

You look AMAZING!! I had the same problem you had my nose was waaaayy to wide for my face. hated it for so long. So, I was happy to get some narrowness, there. I think we are right along ,the post op healing. I am 22 days post op . Had surgery on Friday 12/20 .. wow 3 damn weeks already?? time is moving. I am so happy I did this. my doctor, said wait till you see it in 6 mos... :))))) We def. have a lot of swelling ,that will be present for mos ahead. but, I like you needed to have that old nose taken in , a bit. I think you look terrific. Like your self but better !!

Don't you feel like some days u wake up more swollen than others?.. I'm usually rough with my nose but I have to be sooo very carefull or I'll hurt! Lol.. Time goes sooo fast. I'm glad ur happy... So am I!!!
January 16, 2014
Yes, when I wake up my nose is swollen ..I think they say normally our nose swell when being rested at night. so I have to get up walk around etc. it comes down a bit. I also keep using the ice packs . IT doesn't hurt to the touch , not tender either. But you say thats just your skin, so im sure its nothing. especially if you've had that reaction to other surgery or cuts etc. it was one day where it look so small, and cute but that was last week. lolol the swelling fluctuates. I guess the first 3 - 6 mos.
January 16, 2014
is the bottom portion of your nose the part where the nostrils are , are is that area firm ? I think that place holds the most swelling. as per doctors as well. This swelling will contribute to the front view not being as narrow .
January 16, 2014
The part in d middle, colum.. somethinh? Lol thats pretty firm and tight. I wonder if it will softeb n if it does, would it drop a lil? Is d tip gonna get smaller? Questions quedtions lol. I am not concerned though. Even if it happebs i think will b minimal... well see!

MrsebakerDecember 26, 2013
So today is the sixth day. Im feeling great. Im still very nervous. My nostrils are not swollen anymore. Well at least they dont feel that way. My tip and bridge do feel swollen and my bridge is very tender. Yesterday while doing my make up and accidentally hit my brodge with it. OMG!!! Huuurted big time. The most pain ive felt and it was self inflicted. Dumb ass girl!!! My ntx appt is friday to rwmove the tape and thats it! Ill be stuck w my new nose. Hope it turns out good after its no longer swollen. So, what u think?

I like your new nose. It really looks so natural and fits your other pretty facial features. Happy for you!
December 26, 2013
it looks soooo natural.. very nice job. I am 6 days post op and like you hated the width in the front with a passion and profile. so, anywho did you get alarplasty ? did he cut a wedge of the skin out around nostril any grafts used? It looks like a natural more refined nose that you had already. great job!! Are you statisfied with it ?
December 26, 2013
Wow! you really know ur stuff lol.. Alarplasty. Need to look into it. He did cut the skin around nostrils. I had like 2 3 stitches. I'm not quite sure about the graft.. Scars are healing nicely. I'm gonna start using bio oil on it and see if it speeds up the process. I am satisfied to it. I did great out a lot when I first saw it cause it's like a whole new nose. Resembles nothing my old one -good thing- so.. We'll see in 2 -3 months when is not as swollen... How are you healing? U in any pain?
December 26, 2013
also, my tip is a little higher but this may sound crazy but I like that tip up higher :/ lolol I think its becuase its always been sooooo flat and spread over my upper lip no definition there. but now its lifted and has refinement. so, I honestly wouldnt mind keeping the upturned look. :/ but I know they say it drops a bit after cast removal
December 26, 2013
Mine did drop a little. Which I was actually hoping ... I just hope it stays there!!
December 26, 2013
You looked gorgeous before also! Excited to see the final result!! :)
December 28, 2013
Thank you Bella! I finally got the tape removed. Just still swollen, ill wait a couple more days an see how it looks them but so far. pretty happy.
December 27, 2013
Your nose looks great! I suffer from the same problem ( a wide nose ) it really does affects one's self esteem! I wanted to know, what doctor did you go to? I am interested in this procedure :)
December 28, 2013
And boy it did! ILooking back, I haver very few pics with my kids cause I hated how I look in pics. Never been photogenic but you add a wide nose to it. Well, no bueno! Ill say go for it if you think ill make you happy!
