WORTH IT
So it has been 9 days and the tip is VERY hard and swollen. Kind of more bulbous then before and ive noticed the hump in my nose is very present, i thought the Dr said he shaved it down but maybe not that much? Its a little soar to the touch but mostly feels hard. Wish that'd go away. I hate not knowing what I'm going to look like!

I GOT THE CAST/SPLINTS OFF!!! Oh lordy! I feel real great. Still don't really have much of an appetite. But I can BREATHE! Its so nice. I can't wait to sleep. My nose looks really similar to my old nose. Which is good because I didn't mention to anyone about the possibility of a nose job. However, I can tell that my nose is a lot smaller. Even with the swelling. My nostrils are not as long, and I feel like my tip isn't as projected. I also can see that it isn't moving down when I smile. I think when the swelling goes down it will look even better! I didn't have to pay the extra 1000 for the adjustments. The surgeon says 'I take it it and I can put it back together how I please' so that's interesting.

Congrats on a successful result, but I have to say I'm a little confused about all this talk about taking pieces out and putting them back in. As far as my understanding of rhinoplasties and human anatomy goes, that doesn't really make any sense. But then again I'm not a surgeon.

It is weird to me too, i think yheu are referring to the septoplasty and the tip adjustment. The actual bridge work seems like it would be obviously cosmetic.

Ok so its been two days. I feel a lot better. I'm taking more ibuprofen than norcos. I hardly have any bruising. My whole face is rather swollen though and I do look like a pig. I'm hoping that goes away soon. My nostrils are huge!!! Its a bit troublesome. But I guess now's a good time as ever to try and be patient.

Wow it's all done!! Glad you are going along nicely and don't have bruising. I wasn't allowed to take ibuprofen because it thins the blood and makes us susceptible to bleeding. Did your surgeon say that was ok for you? Most people take paracetamol which is fine. Happy recovery and I hope he did an excellent surgery on you.

Hmm he just told me not to take it before surgery. My norcos are a low dose and have tylenol in them so i didnt want to put anymore in my system. Ill call the office to see if they want to give me something else. Thank you!
