So it's been 1 month and 18 days - and all is going well! The swelling has come down alot but the tip is still quite hard and swollen. I am really happy with the result - I think it is really natural and suits my face.
I just had my 6 week check up on Friday and i'm recovering well - just waiting to receive my before and after photos :)

I've been feeling pretty down the past 4 or so days - after doing a bit of research i've read that post surgery depression is quite common which is comforting to know, but still doesn't really help the way i'm feeling...I am just looking forward to the doctors appointment on tuesday to find out how much of it is swelling. I am already happy with my profile, but it still looks too wide at the bridge and I can already feel the bone just under the skin which makes me think it's there to stay. I guess I am just disappointed as you think that (unrealistically) as soon as the cast comes off you will be a completely different person. I just need to relax and have a little more patience! Has anyone else had these concerns?? It's been 10 days since the op and 5 days since the cast was removed.

thanks safi - you are too nice! :) I have a check up tomorrow - so it will be great to know what the doctor thinks too. I just need to be more patient!

congrats! your nose looks great. even if it is not swelling, i do not think your bridge looks wide at all. i have not had my rhinoplasty yet so i am not sure about the swelling. but i have read a ton of articles that stay swelling is present for months following.

thanks cristylv that means alot - yeah I am hoping it's just swelling - i need to be a little more realistic! goodluck for when you get yours done - let us know how you go! :)

you can tell that your front view is still swollen, but i think it is gonna go down and shrink a lot! it looks like your nose was pretty slim to begin with (looking at you from straight on, ya kno?) The side view looks nice! Very natural!! :)

So it's been 9 days since the op and 4 days since the cast was removed. Bruising is almost all gone except for a small dot under one eye and a little bit of yellowing under the other. I am pretty happy with the side profile thus far, but am a little disheartened with my front view. It still feels wide at the bridge and I would like to think it is just swollen but I can already feel the bone just under the skin which makes me think it isn't going to get any smaller :(..I have an appointment with the doctor on tuesday so hopefully I will find out some more info then - will keep you posted!

How did you deal with depression after surgery? I have a feeling this might happen to me as I am that type of person and can respond to things quite emotionally..Something i want to try and prevent.
