My Rhinoplasty Story - Palm Beach Gardens, FL

UPDATED FROM Tnosey

Well I guess I am going through something common...

WORTH IT$6,000
Well I guess I am going through something common in recovery. After the first day that my cast was removed (two days ago) where my nose looked amazing all day, it has kind of swollen back up and appears more shapeless. I just want it to go back to the first day so much!! I'm not sure what I am doing to make it swell up, I know I have to be patient, but I saw how great it can look, so it's a bit frustrating. I was out with some friends last night who were flabbergasted that I had a nose job only 8 days before. They would have never known. Right now, it is definitely looking closer to pre-nose than post and I am still feeling throbbing. It's mainly the front view that's affected. This is definitely quite a process of ups and downs. I'll post some pics too. Also, I feel like I am going to have to learn new makeup techniques now too. I used to Love doing up my makeup, but yesterday it just didn't look or feel right. I liked it much better in the morning when I only had mascara.

I was just talking to my surgeon about this, I am so worried about walking around for whatever time it takes, with a swollen nose that looks as bad or worse than my original nose. I can't stand the idea of people wanting to see it and thinking the surgery was a mistake. But I'm trying to remind myself that it's the long term results that I am interested in. In my opinion I can't see that much change in your nose and you are truly stunning in every photo you have posted...but I know that it's all about how you feel. Hang in there! You have been so fortunate with an realativly easy recovery thus far, this is just a little bump in the road. Congratulations!!
Thank you for giving me some insight. Exactly, I know these results are for the long term, but it is really difficult going through the insecure process of those knowing that I got it done seeing new nose. I want them to see it looking great, not just okay. Thanks so much for your kind words also...makes me feel a lot better :)
Everyone must see their own swelling because I just don't see yours. It looks great still. They say a high sodium intake will make one swell up especially around surgery sites up to weeks after the procedure. Maybe chips n salsa (at a restaurant) or some canned soups may be some foods to avoid for a few weeks. But I promise it looks so good:)
Thank you :)) yea, that may be a factor for sure, especially since I was just eating chips and salsa actually! Lol! I'll def try stay away from sodium better
Wow you are gorgeous and even more so now with your new nose! Glad you have had a wonderful experience! :)
Aww, thanks girl :)!
Looked great before and even better after. Congrats on a succesful surgery!
Thank you! :)
Wow it looks soooo good! Even with the swelling, you look beautiful. I wouldn't have even noticed swelling unless you said so. It's only been 9 days so imagine in 2 weeks what it will be like! Congrats!! I hope my surgery comes out as successful as yours.
Thanks!!! I know, I am dying to hit the 2 week mark, where I hear everything really goes down! Just have to be patient! I'm sure yours will go great, good luck :))

So exited!!!!! Cast is off and I adore my new nose...

So exited!!!!! Cast is off and I adore my new nose so much already. It's still bruised and swollen, with some stitch marks, but here's the pics right after it was off. I can't begin to say how worth it this was...so happy. I went in there this morning terrified too! I'll put up more pics later when I clean it up and get some hair and makeup on :))) he did exactly what I wanted!

Concluding my big cast removal day, day 7 since...

Concluding my big cast removal day, day 7 since surgery, and wow has it been a great one! I still have slight black eyes and a small bump, which he says is good because it will go down great once swelling stops. If it were already perfectly straight right now, it would concave, but because of your ladies stories I was already prepared for swelling! My skin is not amazing, keeping it super moisturized right now. I also have to keep pressure on my tip throughout the day so it stays straight, i guess the cast threw it slightly off. But all in all, my recovery has gone just so great. I can't believe the change a week can make. More pics to come! Also if I have left anything out that anyone would like to know about the process, let me know :)
