Hey guys, just wanted to provide a quick update to my nose. Its been a stressful month and my swelling has not been kind. That and acne has been fighting for a place on my nose to make it look even bigger. This is what my nose looks like as I am writing this update. It isnt so bad but this is not what it looks like a on a good day. I consider this a bad day photo but it really isn't as bad as it was in the previous month. Its getting better. I wish I could get another kenalog injection in my nose right now but I'm thousands of miles away from Dr. Yoo.

Officially hit the 2 month mark. Nose is still pretty swollen. I don't have much of an opinion of it as it keeps fluctuating back and forth in swelling. So far I'm pretty indifferent and its still too round looking some days. What's odd is that when I was one month out, the profile actually looked a bit more defined when the tip was still up. Ever since it fully dropped, the overall nose and tip has been really round looking. I've included a picture of my nose on February 12th as well to give you a picture of what my nose looked like at its smallest.. I guess this is when the kenalog was still fully working before it died out a few weeks ago. Whats strange is that the February 12th pic frontal was actually still very swollen but seemed small on profile. Now the profile on the 60th day looks fat and round but the tip is actually smaller than the Feb 12th pic. Funny how that works.

This week has been a weird one. I was going to update again at 60 days and I still plan on doing so but I think the kenalog injection has been dying off. Normally my nose swelling is pretty sporadic and fickle with certain times of the day where its at its biggest and smallest. I one day noticed about a week and a half ago that it swelled up but even with taping it doesnt go down. My nose looks really bulbous/round again and my coworkers have now noticed and mention that I look different from 2 weeks ago when they saw me. Its drawing unnecessary attention to me. It really sucks that I don't have access to Dr. Yoo to get another steroid injection.
