This is all I will provide. Dr. Shah did an amazing job and my confidence has improved significantly. Frontal view, although not provided, looks great as well. I have some irregular/assymetrical swelling that started a week ago and didn't go away (even a tad bit) currently. I contacted the office and explained my concerns. My nose still looks beautiful but maybe because I'm 5 months post I will begin seeing some swelling that only patience can resolve. My next appointment is at the end of May, if I see significant improvements with the swelling, I will definitely post a frontal view of my nose. Hope this helps!!!

So I slept well last night better than the previous yay! HUGE TIP FOR YOU ALL: sleep with your head elevated and if you're not sleeping sit like that at all times cause it really reduces swelling and you'll start noticing that you can start getting some air through your nostrils. Again breathing is still difficult cause I'm only 2nd day post op but time heals. So patience is key. But again, you want to heal quick so keep your head elevated at all times to reduce swelling and improve breathing. Trust me. I feel so relieved now cause I can feel air coming through my nose and it's only my 2nd day. Yayy! Ok well here's a pic of my nose. Theres stil a lot of nasal blood and crusting so I kept the gauze on the bottom.

So just to emphasize, I got a septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and turbinate reduction. Right now breathing is sooo difficult. Apparently it's normal to have this stuffiness due to swelling. I'm just hoping, God willing, that it decreases by a lot within the next couple days. I had to get a turnbinate reduction and septoplasty because I had a decent deviation that at most times really blocked my breathing from the right side 24/7 and sometimes my left side. As of now I feel more stufiness on the right side because that's where my sinuses were. Maybe that's why it's super swelled? My only hope right now is to breathe but I know that requires a lot of patience.
