Closed Rhinoplasty 12 Days Post Op

Hello everyone,
I am 12 days post op from my closed rhinoplasty surgery. I wanted to share my experience as when I've been researching over the years prior, it really helped hearing other people's experiences!!
So a little back story, my old nose was never huge or had a big hump but I hate a flat bridge and looked bumpy in certain angles and I felt my nose was pointy. It's only since I've had my nose done I mean every one in my life says they prefer my nose now and can now see where I was coming from, even my mother!
Anyway, my surgeon is john Davison who works mainly at bmi Chaucer canteen hospital. I've had a few consultations over the years with other surgeons and john by far made me feel the most comfortable and he actually explained the procedure and drew it out for me which really helped. He is honestly amazing and really looks after you. Worth every penny..which I pay monthly for 5 years now haha!
I had never been under anaesthetic before but that is absolutely fine in case any one is worried! its actually a nice but strange feeling.
When I came back round I felt great and very talkative, this was due to the fact they had put coccaine up my nose to reduce bleeding so let's just say I didn't sleep much on the first night!
There is no pain after a rhinoplasty, obviously the meds helped but it's all just discomfort. I'm a nose breather so breathing through my mouth was awful I woke up in the night the first night literally gasping I could barely breathe from mouth being so dry! Once the nurse to the packing out the next morning I could just about breathe through but the first few nights are the worst, it does get better. Btw when they take the packs out there's no pain it's just a very odd sensation.
My tips!:
post surgery make sure you have a ....U-shaped pillow to keep you comfy as you'll be sleep upright...for a couple of weeks or more..and lots of pillows.
Arnica pills and cream, it's said to reduce bruises and swelling
Vitamin C
Loads of water and tissues, there will be a tad of leakage I got a thing that goes under my nose that the nurse gave me to catch any drips lol.
Get some aqua drops sweets or any sweets that give your mouth moisture, trust me.
straws!! Sip from the side of your mouth it's easier.
No no bread or anything chewy it'll hurt the first couple of days.
Open button shirts as you won't want to risk pulling tops over your head, I used my boyfriends shirts as they're baggy if I ran out of button tops.
Dry shampoo !
Get some one to take care of you and your meds or make a chart.
hope I've helped some one out there! Any questions, feel free to ask anything:)

So as you can see the tips very swollen it's also hard but this is normal I'm religiously apply arnica cream and dragging lots of water and have two huge pillow and a u shaped pillow to keep me up right
