New Nose! - Burnsville, MN

After years of disliking my nose, I finally decided to do something about it. I am excited to share my journey here because I have found that reading these reviews has helped reduce some of the nervousness I have. Overall, I am feeling excited, only nervous because I have never had any type of surgery.
I am hoping my doctor can create some subtle changes that will still look natural. The only people who know so far are four of my family members, and I’m still not sure how to tell my closest friends. Since I will have three months to recover before returning to school, I’m hoping that it won’t be too obvious.
For recovery, I’ve bought pineapple juice and frozen peas to help reduce swelling, and some soft, low-sodium foods. I’m hoping to pass the time by updating on here, so any comments from you guys would be greatly appreciated!

Well I am in more pain than I expected. I've mostly been sleeping since I got back home. I had some apple sauce, mashed potatoes and some pineapple juice so far. My doctor ended up breaking one side of my nose to straighten it so I now have a black eye. I will post some pictures later from my computer.

The past two days were pretty rough. Most of the pain I can feel is in my head. Also my front teeth are hurting. I'm still using and changing out my drip pad, although there's not so much drainage anymore. I'm hoping I can stop using one soon. My black eye is turning more yellowish too. This morning I went four hours without another percocet when the previous days I absolutely needed one by three hours. I'm going to see my surgeon tomorrow to get some time external stitches removed.
