Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

So I'm almost had my cast off for a full week, and my nose has definitely swollen after the removal. Evidently, the cast does a great job in containing any swelling, and I noticed a few days after the cast came off, my nose got bigger! Totally sucks! But I just have to keep telling myself that the swelling is completely normal, and that what I saw right after I got my cast removed is much closer to my final results than what I have now. It's going to be a long road ahead.
Also, I HATE not being able to scrub my face! I like using that St. Ives apricot scrub stuff, and there's no way I can adequately scrub my nose. I feel like a greaseball. :/

The cast came off today! I was almost as nervous for that as I was for the actual operation, so weird. I was worried that getting the stitches out would hurt, but that was no problem. They put this anti-adhesive stuff on my cast and left it there for a couple minutes to help loosen it up, and then the doctor took some sort of little stick and gradually pried the cast off. Felt super strange! Didn't hurt, just was a lot of pressure. Then he peeled the tape off. I didn't have any splints, so that was pretty much it! When I looked at myself in the mirror, I could tell that it was still pretty swollen, and thanks to this website and all the testimonials I read from other people, I knew that it my nose would not look exactly the way I want it to, so that helped stay realistic during the "reveal."
Went out to lunch, and luckily I had some of my hair pulled back, because there was still adhesive on my nose and every time the wind blew, some of my hair stuck to my nose. Had to go home and gently clean my nose with rubbing alcohol to get the adhesive off.
I still feel pressure on my nose - sometimes I forget that the cast is off, because in a way, it still feels the same. I can't explain how happy I am with the results, even though it's not yet how it should look in the end. It still looks better than it did!
I updated with pictures from today, and I guess I'll update every couple of months or so. Blogging here was fun! Thanks to everyone else for sharing their stories and I hope that mine helps someone out in the future. :)
