Wow you look great!! And you're still so lucky, you have like no bruising! (I seriously hope I have that kind of luck but I kind of doubt I will haha). I love that your nose fits your face nicely. Question for you though, would you be putting up any frontal pics? And did your surgeon ever mention that you have thick skin on your nose?

that is so funny what your anesthesiologist said!! I think mine said something along those lines as well.. "it's gonna feel like a beer and 2 shots of tequila" and then I asked him "How long does it take for it to kick in?" & He responded, "Ohh just about 4-6 seconds.." & literally after that I was out!!

Good Luck on your recovery!! I just got my cast off 2 days ago (Monday). As the days go by you see more bruising and more swelling but it's actually not that bad. My brusing is prob 95% gone, just a little bit of a dark reddish tone on my upper eye lids along my lash line. Not bad. :)

Keep us updated!!!

then the anesthesiologist was like "hah no more like 5".

& thankyou!

Hey! I'm glad everything went well. You're lucky, so far it seems like you barely have any bruising, and I can already see the change in your nose's shape through the gauze. It looks great! Keep us updated :)

Sadie, I wish I was able to get my nose done at your age. I waited until age 45 LOL. Well, I am happy now. Please just be prepared for residual swelling that may last longer than you anticipated. I am now 7 1/2 months post-op and still have a bit of swelling at the tip. Just be as patient as possible, it will be a work in progress. Please update us with future pix. To a speedy recover...

You should ask your surgeon if you can clean the dried bits out of your nostrils with q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol. I can't remember when I started that, but it helped immensely!
