    Hi SouthTex, I am 57 and had a rhinoplasty this past summer. Honestly, I am so thgrilled with it and only wish I had not spent so many decades hating my face. Did it make me look like I am 27? Of course not! But I am much happier with my looks.

    Thanks. I am finding one is never too old, it is when you are ready. Also I think faces change as we age not usually for the better...

    Yes, what a relief...one thing I have learned from this site is that people have different procedures and recovery times will be different. you have to trust what your doctor tells you. I am kind of health nut so I am very conscious not to eat any salty food now, drink lots of water, take baths, all of which reduce swelling. I use epsom salts in the bath which is very relaxing & also reduces the fluid puffiness, very old fashioned but works.

    Id say try not to touch it & distract yourself, as hard as that seems. You/we are on the home stretch...hang in there

    Day 4 Post-Op Feeling much better!
    I feel funny about having friends see me just yet. I have my (20yr old) daughter with me which has been great, she has been so supportive during the worst hours. Yes to ice cream! Not doing much other dairy as my nose is so stuffed doesnt seem like a good idea. Anyway today, doing much better and thanks for the message. Hard to read as I need glasses & have had bad headaches until this morning. Also muscle pains in legs, so I am doing some mild yoga stretches which feels good. Cast off tomorrow - can't wait!!
