11 month update

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.

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.

Based on the reviews I read and the pictures I saw, I went for a consult with Dr. Turowski early this year. His office is actually located right outside of chicago and is very easy to find. The staff are all nice. The consultation took about an hour and we talked and used the picture modifier thingie to be on the same page as to what I wanted (just reshaping the bridge to have no bumps, basically). He was very open and answered my questions, of which I didn't really have too many (I know enough to know I wouldn't know enough to contribute a lot to the conversation about the procedure, and I'd looked up all other important info prior). Booking was easy as it was many months out. Paperwork was easy and submitting payment was easy. I came in from out of town only for the initial consult and procedure. The procedure went well, but I had an expected rough recovery, but have been quickly getting better now. Most importantly, the nose looks great already, I'm quite happy with it! I get my internal nasal splints off in one week. I can already breath fine with them in there, so I'm anticipating my breathing being much improved! Overall great experience so far, would definitely recommend.
