Just 3 days ago I had to have the underside of my nose redone. I had a bump there, not sure why that happened. Now I have stitches again and feel like I have gone all the way back to the start. Swelling and pain. I have missed work and an not happy but I guess only time will tell. My doctor has been very good about getting me in to see him. I would insist that you get in before you did! I had mu surgery the same day that you did.
I am still really swollen! I had mine done on the same day as you...be patient my dear!!!! Remember it takes 3 months for 70% of the swelling to go down. We are a 1/3 of the way there! ;-)
I am at 3 weeks post surgery and am so happy with the results. I know that it is still swollen like the dr said it would be. He said that at about 3 months the swelling would be down about 70 percent, so I think you should be patient with the progress. He also said my nose would not be fully healed for 1 year. It is a long process, hang in there! I had my entire nose shortened, that meant having to break it. The tip refined, nostrils made smaller and it was crooked as well. You need a hug! :-)
I am mostly yellow! My doctor supplied me with a makeup kit to camouflage the bruising. I live near Seattle and my doctor is Dr. Naficy. He is more expensive but highly skilled and well like they say...you get what you pay for. When do you plan to return to work? My surgery was on the 28th, a week ago today. Still feel tired and a bit week.
