Rhinoplasty/ Septoplasty - 11 month update

WORTH IT$9,000
I'm quite far out now from surgery. The recovery has been a bit rough and I can tell it'll take a while longer for my nose to completely recover. The bridge of my nose has become much less swollen, and the bump area that was fixed (my nose was broken so it wasn't just shaved down) is starting to go back down. The tip of my nose is still rock hard, as are some areas of my nostrils. I wonder how long it'll take for it to become soft again. I can't wait.

Maybe you should talk to your PS about a steroid shot for your tip.

I thought about that recently. But its just not worth driving 15+ hours for, even if i could get a day off of work to do it. i'm not bothered that much, it'll continue to heal

its been a while since my last update. i've taken some pictures along the way and eventually will post more comparison pics. but as for how things are going, my nose is evening out more and more. i still have a swishy bump where my original bump was. My nose nip and parts of my nostrils are still pretty hard. Breathing is ok, good when i consistently use flonase, otherwise i get stuffy and allergy symptoms... i had allergies before, obviously. I still have some dark circles under my eyes that are somewhat improving very slowly. Hmmm, not sure what else to say, things are going well.
