I had an Asian rhinoplasty two weeks ago in...
I had an Asian rhinoplasty two weeks ago in Beverly Hills. The procedures included a diced cartilage fascia graft to build up my bridge, alar base reduction, tip refinement, and a graft to extend my retracted columella.
Week 1:
Had a cast placed over my nose for the first week. I had incisions in my scalp and under my right breast for the DCF graft. There wasn't much pain in my nose, but my scalp and rib hurt a lot.
Week 2:
At the end of week 1, doctor took my cast off and placed tape along my bridge. I was surprised at the amount of swelling on my nose. My bridge was too high and wide, making my face look very weird. I couldn't even recognize myself in the mirror.
The top of my bridge was so swollen that it pulled my eyes in closer together, but by the end of week 2, my eyes had returned to their original shape and position.
Week 3:
I am near the start of my third week post-op. My bridge is still very swollen. It is nearly twice the width of my original bridge and still looks strange. I really hope the swelling goes down soon.
I am quite satisfied with my tip and the base. Even though the tip is swollen, it doesn't look bad at all. My profile is also looking really nice (minus the bridge, which is too high right now). My doctor said that the bridge will drop by a lot, and it will also get much narrower.

21 Days Post-Op
I definitely see a difference in my swelling from week 2 to week 3. I actually was not afraid to go out in public yesterday. I think I look fairly normal. I went to the gym for the first time since my rhinoplasty last night. I didn't feel any extra swelling or pain. I still have pain in my rib, but I hope it goes away soon.
My bridge is still kinda high and swollen, but it's not obvious to most people. I'm wondering if my friends will notice a difference when they see me. Hopefully they won't realize I got a nose job!

No one has noticed!
I went out drinking with my friends last night, and not a single one noticed my nose. They all told me that I looked great, but no mention of my face looking different. I'm loving my nose more and more everyday as the swelling goes down. I can't wait to see it in a few weeks!
