I am 13 days post-op. Everyday I love my nose more and more. I know there is still swelling in the tip and on the columella so I can't wait to see the final results.

you can definitely see a difference in the photo you have uploaded. How are you feeling now? I go for my one month post-op to see my dr. tomorrow @ 1 pm. As of right now, I am kinda Unsure about the whole procedure. I feel like I can't really tell a difference. I am hoping it is just swelling that is discouraging my thoughts. we will see tomorrow.... :)

Home from surgery, about 6 hours post op.
I was very nervous last night. I kep doubting whether or not I was making a good choice, the time leading up to surgery was very stressful. Once I arrived at the office this morning at 7am I knew there was no going back so the stress subsided.
I first met with the nurse, she had me change and do nasal spray 3 times every ten minutes. Then I met with my doctor and reviewed the plan. Next, anesthesiologist. Everyone was so nice and helped put me at ease. I was dreading the IV but it was so easy. I had a quick shot of a pain killer then a plastic catheter was inserted. I felt it, but it was not excruciating like other needle experiences that I have had in the past.
By around noon I was awake, I saw my doctor one more time. He said that I had a very deviated septum but that all went very well. By 1230 I was on my way home.
The surgery was actually easier then I antipicated, but the pain since i've been home has been worse than I thought it would be.
It's not horrible but my jaw, teeth and upper gum are very sore. I have a lot of pressure behind my eyes and nose. I am able to breath through my nose which is great, but I am not. I also have a sore throat and a bit more bleeding than I expected. This is strange, but my right heel on my foot is very sore, I don't recall hitting it, weird.
Thank you again everyone fo the support. Please let me know if you have any questions.
