New Nose! - Burnsville, MN

Oops my photos didn't seem to load on my last post. Here are photos from today! My skin is starting to breakout so I will probably lay off the makeup for awhile.

Today is officially three weeks post op. I really love my nose. There are still some asymmetry but I believe that is due to swelling still.
I've gotten together with a friend I haven't seen in a few months and she did not comment on my nose although said that I looked older! I also visited my grandma and she did not seen to notice either. I am very happy that I still look the same, just with an improved nose :)
These photos are from yesterday.

So yesterday I finally got my cast removed! Unfortunately I need to keep the splints and tubes in my nose for another week, but my surgeon consulted another and they decided that was the best decision. I will feel so much better when I can breathe normally again! Immediately after the cast came off I was a little shocked because of the difference and the extreme swelling. It also looked slighty pinched from the cast. I've heard many times how you can't really prepare yourself for how it looks but didn't really understand until now! I was told not to judge it now because it is going to change quite a bit. I was also told to tape before bed with some clear stretchy tape. Today I woke up and felt a lot better about how I look. Either I got used to it or the shape is starting to form. Its looking super cute now and very straight! Looking at my old pictures is really helping me feel like I'm making progress! So far I am glad with the results! Now just need this swelling to subside.
