It's a slow process but it seriously changed my life already. I sometimes think to myself "oh no someone is looking at you from the side, turn your head so they don't see your nose!!" Then I remember .. "oh yeah!!! My nose from the side right now is my best angle !" It's truly a blessing and I still can't believe I had the chance to get it done. Makes me so happy! I'm still slightly bruised and yellow but it's okay some makeup helps ! Without it I kind of look sickly lol. Super pale and yellow is not a good look on me haha. But it's all worth it for he end result ! Everyone remind yourself to be patient !!! Xoxox

Did your baby girl feel that you're different ? How does she react?

At first yes !! She didn't recognize me she barely looked at me and she didn't cry for me or want me to pick her up. So it was weird and sad. But it was okay because I couldn't really hold her or play with her anyways. But after like the 5th or 6th day she realized it was me

Hey, yes front will take some time. I'm 4 months post op and still lots of swelling in my nose tip. Some days are better then others randomly it swells and it's more sensitive. It's all part of the healing process. Xo

I was extremely emotional after my husband literally Just elbowed me right in the nose 5 minutes ago. It made a loud cracking sound and bled a tiny bit for about a minute. It's okay but it still hurts. I literally was so careful for days and I can't believe this happened. I cried because I waited 10 years to finally feel good about myself and it costs so much money to do so. That I was afraid I was gonna have to deal with being unhappy again and waiting to get another surgery to fix it. I can't believe it happened and I wish I could rewind time and prevent it .

You look absolutely stunning, but I thought you were incredibly beautiful in your before pictures if I'm honest!! Don't worry, my husband smacked me right on the nose in his sleep 3 days after my rhinoplasty. It was horrifying, but it definitely was not an issue. These things do happen, just try to relax and speak with your surgeon asap if you are worried. Chances are you don't need to worry, but worst case scenario your surgeon will know what to do. I wish you best of luck, you are a gorgeous lady and I'm sure you will still have a great outcome! :)
