23, Female Rhinoplasty! - Glendale, CA

I always had an issue with my nose being somewhat crooked and having a bump on the bridge. So I chose Dr. Grigoryants after a lot of research. He has mostly excellent reviews, and of course every surgeon has a couple bad reviews too. I am overall pleased so far with results, only at 2 weeks post op.

I didn't post on here during the process, but I'll still post what each day was like! POD1 was not bad at all, I had MINIMAL swelling and bruising, it was actually shocking how much I did not bruise. My eyes didn't really puff up at all at this point. The night of surgery was like I never had surgery lol, I felt pretty good.

Sooo I felt.... OK POD2. I got confused because I started counting the day of surgery as pod1 but it's technically day after. Lol... Anyway, now I know. So POD2 was only a little more bruising, but still not much swelling anywhere. I couldn't really do anything with my mouth other than gently attempt to suck smoothie through a straw and drink fluids. My boyfriends mom traveled with me across the USA from Virginia to California, what a sweetheart! She was the best care taker, and made me "bone broth" for my harder recovery days. This was sooo nutritive dense and I really enjoyed it. I think it truly made me heal faster. Just a recommendation! I didn't have any nausea still at this point, my stomach felt totally normal. I just felt like my nose and mouth were stiff and I was feeling weak and tired. I took my pain meds around the clock, MUST do this guys! Even though it is not horribly painful, it is horribly UNCOMFORTABLE. Such a weird thing to explain.... basically tons of pressure in your face and you get frequent head aches from that. Take your meds that the dr gives you! Also remember that it will not totally deplete your discomfort, so don't take more pain med than they say to take. It could make you throw up which during rhinoplasty recovery is NO fun. I could get out of bed to walk around and use the bathroom, but absolutely felt the weakness come on and had to lay back in bed quickly. I had a rooftop patio to go up on, but I felt no desire on this day. Too tired, too weak, and shouldn't climb stairs. Be safe and protect your nose. I have pics from my mans mom, she went up there. Cali is soo gorgeous .
