Hi, it’s been eight days since I had my rhinoplasty, I had my cast removed yesterday and I can’t stop crying!! I know everyone says it’s to early to tell, it’s still swollen, give it time, but I can’t get over the fact that I look like an Avatar, I look like a character!! And to tell you the truth I didn’t experience a lot of swelling so I think the end result is not going to look much different from how it looks now . I can’t stand to look at myself in the mirror!!
