Couple of things about my nose that I'm not so fond of..

Although my left side is perfect (also the side that is pierced, my right side looks super swollen still and bigger and I'm self conscious of people seeing or taking pictures of that side. I know that I have thick skin and I heard that it can take longer for me but it's a couple of days from being a year and it's still so swollen:( do you guys think it is going down? My doctor said he could inject some steroids to help it go down but I've read some bad stuff about that

I would try the steroid shot. To me it looks pretty good but I have thick skin too so I understand. What did u hear that was bad about the steroid?

it's been almost another year since your last update :) How are you liking your results so far? Did you ever get the steroid injection? or did the right side swelling go down on it's own? Would love to see some current pics! :)

I like that your nose is still long. Mine was overly reduced. And my swelling never goes away because of that, even after 3 kenalog injections. It’s been almost 4 years since my surgery.

Sorry for not keeping track of the progress, I know these aren't great quality or anything but it's what I have on my phone, I still have swelling on one side that I need to take a photo of but over all I like the results

I've creepily been following your posts lol! Your profile is awesome! Even with the swelling your nose looks beautiful. You were beautiful before and this has just enhanced your beauty because the bump doesn't take attention away from your other features! I was noticeably swollen with my first rhinoplasty for at least 3 weeks. I think you'll love your results more and more every day! So happy for you!

Thank you so much! Really 3 weeks of noticeable swelling? Aw I was hoping it'd be more like 2 weeks, I'm really excited for it to go down, I kind of feel like I have a clown nose right now haha, thanks for the kind words, I do love my nose it's just a crazy feeling

To be honest my swelling was not just in my nose. My eyes and cheeks puffed for a while and I had an overall tired look for a few weeks. When that was over though, my incisions were healed and no one except perhaps a surgeon could've known is just had surgery. Everyone is different though. Maybe you'll be closer to two weeks! Don't fret!

Ow wow, I think the only swelling in my face right now is my nose and bridge and I still have black eyes but that's it, maybe I'll be lucky
