WORTH IT$5,100
Ok, I am really loving my new nose. The problem is my breathing still. If I am walking or standing up I can breath ok, but once I sit or when I go to bed at night my nose gets stuffed up. I am so miserable when I go to bed. I still have to breath out of my mouth. My next checkup with my dr is in October.....ugh

Ok, so I had the tape taken off my nose. It was not bad at all. I looked in the mirror after to see the shape of my nose....it was great. Well, it was not until awhile later I looked closer in the mirror and noticed how red and a million tiny (acne looking) bumps on my nose. My Dr's office is closed. I this normal? I was given a cleaning product gift today, but was not sure if it was mild enough to put on my nose...... And now I look worse than with the cast on.......HELP

Hi all! Just a quick post. Doing good. I go back to my Dr. today to get the tape off. I am looking forward to that! I'm still having a hard time breathing, and today has been the worst. I was touching up a little area of paint on a wall when I felt like I was getting light headed. All I could think of was I feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen even though I'm breathing through my mouth. It is at this moment I'm missing my old nose and being able to breath. I really feel like I want to cry. Does it usually last this long? ......UGH

I know what mean when you say it is so uncomfortable when you can't breathe through your nose. I was like this up until day 14, which is when I tried saline nasal spray. Within 10 minutes of using it, my nose cleared up (had to blow it a little), and I could breathe 200% better. I still can't breathe where I was post op, I'm at day 17 now, but it is getting better every day as the swelling goes down and with the help of some saline nasal spray. I would recommend you try it if you are not doing so already.

Thank you. I am using saline and afrin at betime here and there. This is the hardest part of it all. The surgery was sooooo easy.

Even though your latest pics are with your tape on, you can tell it looks sooo cute! Hope your breathing improves soon!
