All is well here in Beijing.
- Not comfortable wearing glasses yet.
- My nose is still exceptionally oily, with the tip hard and numb.
- I can blow my nose gently without any pain.
- I plan to return to light exercise in the next couple of weeks... power walking, yoga, etc.
Hoping the tip continues to decrease in size a little as residual swelling dissipates. Overall A+ experience.

Looks like it's healing great! You're tip is definitely smaller and more defined than just a few weeks ago, so it'll probably just get better with time.

I am still avoiding exertion and glasses. I can tolerate them but they are moderately uncomfortable and cause pretty severe temporary dents in my nose from the residual swelling.
Having the tip of my nose numb is inconvenient in ways I didn't anticipate. Kissing, for example. My nose is also really oily, which is unusual.
I'm starting to become concerned that my bulbous tip wasn't addressed in the rhinoplasty...but it is possible that the swelling is still obscuring the final result. My side profile looks great through.

It looks great! As others have said, the front view changes aren't as obvious but swelling is still definitely a big thing at only 3 weeks. My surgery is in a couple of weeks and would love to have such a good recovery! Are you back at work?

Yup, I'm back working. I went on a (first) date about 10 days after surgery, flew back to Beijing from the U.S. 12 days after. Honestly, the whole process has been pain free. Minor inconveniences and a little uncomfortable bc of the stuffy nose feeling, but no pain.

I can guess that my tip was addressed by an up nose shot which I had for my deviated septum. My original upnose looked like a horse shoe shape and my new upnose shape is an inverted V-shape. My cast is still not off (this is day 10) but that is what I am guessing. Do you have any upnose shots to compare it to?

Oooo that's genius. I don't think I took any photos from that angle, but I'll be searching now. Thanks so much!
