I Can't Believe I Am Finally Doing It! - St. Louis, MO

By day 8 post op I was able to breathe through my nose again. Thank goodness :) The swelling has gone down a bit. I was nervous about returning to work day 6 post op. None of my colleagues have said anything to me about my new look, not sure that they can tell the difference. (that is fine with me! :) )I can tell the difference and so far happy with the result.

7th day post op...first day back to work. I really wasn't ready to go back to work but I have no vacation time left so staying home longer to heal was not an option for me :) My nose is so stuffy, there are times when I can kind of breathe through my nose for a minute every once in awhile. Majority of the time I cannot breathe through my nose. It sounds like I have a severe sinus infection when I talk because I am so stuffy. I normally wear glasses while I am at work, I had to keep taking my glasses off because it hurt my nose too bad and gave me a headache.

6 days post op: Follow up appointment with Dr. Nayak. My cast came off and I could not be more happier with the result! My nose is pretty swollen, minimal bruising...but I already love it! I can't wait to see the changes as my nose continues to heal. I am so glad I had this procedure done. No regrets. I will keep you posted on how things are going as my nose continues to heal. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this procedure! :)
