    The tip will take forever to go down! Mines huge right now. I know some people where is took nearly 3 years for the swelling to completely subside

    Glad to hear you were able to finally get some shut eye! You definitely have to inquire both the staff and your surgeon about post-op discomfort. I, personally, had little pain following both my procedures (rhinoplasty and minor revision work), I think everyone responds very differently and of course your surgeon wants to present the more positive side of cosmetic surgery. What pain medication were you prescribed? And did the doctor break your nose (septoplasty) during your surgery? Can't wait to see the final result! Don't forget swelling takes forever to go down, and I do mean forever :)

    Sorry to hear that your in such discomfort! Don't worry though l, the pain passes! As for being trapped inside, I relied on movies and Netflix for entertainment, a good book can't hurt either. If you've told any of your friends or family about your surgery, have them come hang out with you! My friends brought me ice cream and we watched a movie after my surgery. Don't worry about be a recluse, you'll be free to walk outside in less than a week!

    You're swelling is going down immensely! But having them fly you out to Mexico for a 2500 surgery is a bit suspect. I would stick to a surgeon in the states from now on.

    I was unhappy with my initial rhinoplasty as well. And sometimes that just happens. I just got a revision and so far I'm very happy with it. Just hang in there. Save up the money and one day you'll be able to get the nose you want. I think it's very strange and immature that your doctor disregarded your concerns. For your next procedure you should go to a facial plastic surgeon, rather than an ENT.
