I'm excited to see how it will turn out! - Rhinoplasty - Troy, MI
It's been over 6 weeks since my surgery, and I'm...
The tip is still getting smaller as the swelling continues to go down. I developed a little scar tissue in my right nostril, but that's going down slowly as well.
very happy :)

U look great. Especially from the front. That is the most difficult view to get right. It looks great for being only 5 days post op. I am guessing you went to Dr G.Am I correct? He did my sisters nose and it is probably the nicest nose I have ever seen. I hope he will do mine. I had a revision 3 years ago that was ok, but then I got in an altercation and broke my nose and eyebrow. I really hope he can fix me up. I just hope Dr G. doesnt retire before that. Did he perform a septoplasty on you as well? Well happy healling, and I cant wait to see your progress. keep us updated. Best regards.

So it's the day after my surgery and so far I don't feel TOO bad. Last night was rough because I'm not use to sleeping so straight up. Also, during the day I had some problems with swallowing because of the blood accumulating in my nose (my surgeon didn't use packing in my nose because he said that there wasn't a lot of bleeding). I'm going in for a check up tomorrow and hopefully will get most of the dried blood out of my nostrils (how uncomfortable!) It's hard to see how my nose will look because of the splint, but I'm excited to see how it will turn out!
Will update more with pictures and stories throughout recovery!

Thanks for sharing your story with us! The first night IS rough. And yeah, before rhinoplasty, you don't think about all the crud that will be in your nose afterward (at least not in any concrete way). I found a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to be great for cleaning out the dried stuff from my nostrils. You might want to double-check that with your doctor though. Looking forward to seeing your photos and reading more about your journey to a new nose!

your nose looks awesome, op! i have a bump too and can't imagine what i'll look like without it!
Kristy,
If it helps, you'll be totally out, so it won't make a difference to you whether your nose was broken or not. It certainly didn't to me!
