The feeling I had when I touched the top and sides of my nose and didn't feel those bulging bones and bumps, and being able to being able to breathe air through my nose and using it for its intended purpose was the best feeling in the world!
Although, I'd still take a pretty nose that I couldn't breathe out of over a big unattractive nose!
In this case , Dr Smith was able to give me both physical/cosmetic and functional :)
You're so lucky you didn't have any bruising! Did he have to break your bones? I had bruising for almost 3 weeks! I was also extremely swollen. I didn't mind. Short term pain for long term gain! Also I have to add that I'm sensitive and react to everything so it's just me, most likely!
What did he do to your nose? Did he do any osteotomies or just rasping of the bump?
Wow your pictures look great! It's funny how different people are - I had lots of bruising and swelling but I am sensitive and I had a lot of stuff done (deviated septum, broken bones, tip work, hump removal, narrowing of bones and cartilage). My nose was a mess before surgery! I'd do it all again if I had to - meaning that it was definitely worth it!
Do you know exactly what you had done? Did you have stents in your nose? Not sure if thats only for deviated septums or not!
I'm happy to hear your positive experience! Dr. Smith is a wonderful and talented surgeon. I agree with all of your positive comments! I had my surgery with him in August of 2011.
