Over a year since the surgery and I LOVE my improved nose!
It's been one year and almost 3 months since my rhinoplastic surgery and I am soooo delighted with the results. The scar is no where visible? I can breathe fine so I assume the swelling has completely gone away because I had trouble breathing before, but now it's all good! Plus, I have so much confidence that I never had before. I am so glad that my mom encouraged me to make this decision sooner than later. I am not a big decision maker and while I pondered to or not to do my mom told me to go for it, and I am so thankful because I never realized how self-conscious I was only because I hated my profile! I am over-delighted with my results!
8 months post-op and totally loving it!
I SUPER apologize for not updating before. But I can say that the swelling has gone down since the last update and the runny-nose has stopped. Occasionally my nose breathing feels really dry and gets stalked up so I use nasal saline spray and gets all better! The scar is totally not noticeable, so I'm loving that too! Only 1 person that didn't know about my surgery mentioned that I looked different, but they couldn't point out what, and I just went along saying I wasn't sure. Other than that no one has said anything. I'm super comfortable with how it fits with my face and how much confidence it has given me. I wear my hair up now without being scared that my nose stands out. No regrets what so ever! :D
March the 2nd will be 2 months since my surgery...
March the 2nd will be 2 months since my surgery and I am happy to say that I really like my improved nose! I know it's still swollen so it may look a bit wide, but I don't think it necessarily looks bad. I love it waaay better than my original nose.
I've noticed that I still can't breathe through my nose as good as I could before my surgery. I knew this could be a risk that I would not be able to breathe as good, but it doesn't bother me that bad and in my opinion it was worth it because now I have so much more confidence; I am not constantly thinking about how bad my nose looks. Doctor said that it may be because of the swelling that I can't breathe good yet, and it takes up to a full year for the swelling to be gone. Another thing, I don't know if it is normal is that my nose has been runny ever since the surgery. At first after the surgery I caught a really bad cold and eventually it went away, but I was left with a runny nose; it does not run all the time, but it does daily. So my nose is usually got a lot mucus in it and it dries. I know it sounds totally gross, but I try to clean it often and of course very gently. I was thinking that it's been runny because of the crazy weather here in NC; one day it's in the 60s or 70;s and the next it's down to 20s/30 degrees so it might be allergies. I'm considering calling the doctor and ask about it now that I realize that it's been doing that for that long. Has anyone else had this happen to them too?
The skin around my nostrils is very dry so I moisturize it with lotion daily. These are just small side effects that I've noticed and thought I would share. Other than that I don't see any huge side effects that would make me regret going through with this procedure. I LOVE it and I have so much more confidence about my appearance now. I don't have to be worrying about when someone is taking a profile pic of me and feeling like I have to look straight at the camera. TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY. :D
