I am 20 years old. I always had insecurities about my nose even though my nose wasn't that bad looking. People always thought I am a pretty girl, but my insecurity limited my personal life. So I went on and had rhinoplasty. However, I am very worried now. It is the second day after surgery. I look like a mutant, bruised and swelled. I also can't breathe at all, and one of my nostrils keep bleeding from the stitches. My breathing was perfectly fine before and now I feel like I can't breathe from one side. Even though it's too early to tell, I feel like it's true... I also feel guilty or ashamed, I went on and had surgery on my beautiful face and now I am in a very risky rode. My nose may get crooked, or asymettrical afterwards, or I may have major breathing problems etc. I didn't need all that. I feel ashamed because I took all those terrible risks just to fix my not-so-bad nose...

4th day

I can breathe better through one nostril this morning. However, the other one is completely down. I noticed that the other nostril looks larger than the one I can breathe in too.
A concern about today is how upturned my nose looks. It is not -too much- for most people, but for me since my upper lip and nose have a huge gap, it is too much! It has to go down... I hope it will.

This looks very similar to how my nose looked. The gap between the lip will go down and so will the tip, I thought I was going to look like Ms.Piggy forever trust me it only gets better from here. You will be able to breath soon don't worry about that if it was done by a qualified plastic surgeon you should just wait for the swelling to subside.

Haha Ms. Piggy is exactly what I thought while recovering. Now I feel like the slight slope looks graceful. :D

blissglamm your nose is fantastic- honestly one of the best result ive seen

You will look great! I was questioning my decision at the beginning too, but have faith that you made the right choice. The first week is the hardest, but your body is healing. You will see your nose go through a lot of transformation, daily changes. You have to keep in mind that the full healing process takes a year. Good luck.

thank you! I'm trying to be cautious & positive at the same time - but i do need support! so thanks :)

dont worry!! at week 2 i started being able to breathe more normally, so be patient. also, the tip will drop so dont worry about that either! it will be great im sure

Your nose looks beautiful! Did your tip drop? Your tip is PERFECT, and I was wondering if it dropped a bit right after surgery or cast was off. x
June 9, 2013
Yeah, you can't judge your new nose when the cast is still on!! I feel like what happened to me is that is dropped but then swelling has subsided, so it is lower but less swollen so it evens out. Seriously, don't fret until the cast comes off!!

so it wasnt much different ?? honestly i look so different and so scary and it has to drop quite a lot for me to look decent
June 10, 2013
Aw thank you! Yes I think it did drop. I didn't have too much tip work in the first place so there was less room for changes but it does go down, plus the tape is holding your tip up. If I were to just look at ur pics without hearin what u said about the tip I'd say u can tell it looks perfect already even with the cast on!!
