Feeling self conscious
Hey guys! so Its been a little more than a week since my nose job and Im starting to feel really self conscious! I know its swollen, and that might be why I dislike it so much right now. I feel like its fat (which is obviously because of the swelling) but I dont like my profile or 3/4 profile. Im feeling really bad about myself right now and I know its all part of the process but the way I feel is there isnt much of a change in my nose.
I know this is all part of the process of healing, including the self conscious part...but it doesnt mean I like it...

Hang in there, it's just swollen. There's nothing to worry about, it really does look great. My doc said it takes 6 weeks for the swelling to really go down and you're only 1 1/2 weeks post-op. Best advice is try to pre-occupy yourself with other things.

Hey thanks!
I know, my biggest problem is looking in the mirror!!! I need to just work more or something, until the swelling is down...

I was very self conscious too. I thought I made a horrible decision because the swelling was so bad, but it gets so much better. It's only been a month for me and I feel great. Just give it time. :)

Mine and your nose could be related (before and after). I requested a straight profile to be done (no scoop) and now that im 1 month post op I see a slight bump but like you said it makes it look more natural. It is really overwhelming when you nose swells up a week after cast removal. I was sooo self conscious and upset but every day its going down. Hope youre recovering well... look forward to seeing more updates :)

Peak of swelling
Hey guys so I just woke up and its my third day with no cast so anyway my swelling should be more and my doctor said in the morning it will be worse. I wanted to show you guys the peak of my swelling. And still even with the swelling, it is so much better than the old nose:)
Also sorry guys, my skin is greasy and my eyes are puffy because this is actually the first thing I did when I woke up haha, enjoy:)

Love ,Love, Love your nose. It looks beautiful and natural. I agree with you...I love the slight bump on your profile, because it looks like a NATURALLY pretty nose. Completely smooth looks more like a nose job. You look fabulous!
