1st day post op. Feeling super sore around my neck and chest. My chest has slight bruising but hopefully that will go away soon. Just worried about my nostrils looking uneven. I had both reduced because I found them to be too wide and not delicate looking. My left nostril, in particular, was bigger than my right but now it looks like it's shorter and higher than my right. I'm waiting for the stitches to heal to make my final decision but I'll keep you guys updated. I got a small chin implant even though I wanted a pointier one to balance out my features but I'm trusting my doctor on this one. After all, he's the chairman of the plastics department in a well-known hospital. He did my first nose job that I would like to eventually have slightly redone (my tip is a bit too bulbous for my liking). To accentuate my non-jawline he also gave me a chin liposuction which is the most painful so far, but I'm so excited to see my new jawline. Lastly, he filled my top lip and barely injected my already-full lower lip for balance. He used 1ml of restylane.

Taking the bandages off was such an excruciating process but was able to see what it looks like!

Post op day 3

I decided to skip day 2 since I looked just as bad as day 1 post op. The swelling seems to have gone down just a bit and the pain around my neck has gone down as well. The only pain I'm feeling is from my nose stitches for the nostril reduction. I have 2 stitches running through my left nostril (remember my left was bigger than my right) and one on my right. I can't smile or laugh because it feels like they're going to tear open. My mom made me laugh earlier (against my wishes) and I ended up crying at the immense pain that followed immediately after. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow at 1 pm for my follow up and I'm excited/nervous to see what he thinks so far. My only concern is still the symmetry of my nostrils and how taut my new jawline will be. My new chin implant is slowly starting to make an appearance but it is still hard to tell since I'm so swollen still. Can't wait to take off my chin/face brace that I have to wear night and day for 2 weeks and then only nights after the 2 weeks. So uncomfortable!
