Cast Off! Dorsal Rhinoplasty - MN

In the car on the way home and I am THRILLED. I can't post photos on my phone, so I will update late afternoon/evening. Can't wait to show everyone!

CAST REMOVAL DAY!
I have very little swelling and still a little bit of bruising, but I think Dr. Waters was even surprised by how good I look today. I am breathing clearly through my nose and still don't have any pain. Cast removal was a bit uncomfortable, but nothing too crazy. When he handed me the mirror I was in shock. No more bump! And I am not very swollen either. My tip I can tell is holding some swelling, but my bridge feels pretty normal. My nose looks smaller and it will just continue to shrink as the "swelling" goes down. I feel so beautiful and confident now. After the cast removal my mom and I went out to lunch and I purposely positioned myself so others in the restaurant would see me profile :) Before I would have been conscious of where I sat and who could see my profile.

I got home and tried to wash my face. My nose is extremely tender to the touch and still sticky and flaky from the steri-strips. But no breakouts or blackheads, which was a huge surprise since I struggle with acne. I then put on some makeup and started running errands. My life feels totally back to normal now.

Let me just say that if you are in the state of MN and are looking for a good facial PS Dr. Waters is your guy! I had such a good experience from scheduling my initial consultation up to my post-op appointment today. His surgery consultant, Sheila has been a dream to work with. She is so helpful and caring, and even booked my hotel stay the night before surgery and got us a special rate. PM me if you have any questions!

Not much to update...I get my cast off on Tuesday. I am anxious to see my results. I am trying to prep myself for the swelling that is bound to happen once this cast comes off.
Recovery has been a breeze. I think this is even better than having a cold. I am feeling like myself now on Day 5 and feel like I could do anything, but I'm still taking it easy. I uploaded 2 pics from today.
