Front facing pictures
I am adding some front facing pictures. I'm not too happy with the front. It does seem to change everyday and it is better than before since my septum is straight.
I know I need patience but swelling is your biggest enemy! The tip feels rock hard. Hopefully my front improves.

Post-op 3.5 weeks
It feels like I never got a nose job or if I did I vaguely remember it. I've been so busy lately with life/school but I wanted to let you guys know everything's going well. I'm posting a collage of the progression of my nose from before to 3.5 weeks after surgery.
I definitely feel normal now especially since my life has picked up in pace and I'm no longer lounging at home thinking about how swollen my nose is. I sometimes forget I have had a nose job so when i see a reflection it's a pleasant surprise to find a smaller nose than before. The tip is still swollen and numb. I can feel the soft skin at the upper part of the nose and then the hard skin part of the numb tip.
So for expectations, I really never had great one. A small part of me was hoping to become super hot but for that I would need much more than a nose job. It did improve my confidence. In lab or class I'm no longer conscious if anyone is looking at my nose. It's nice to be able to pull your hair back and not worry about the huge thing calling for attention.
It was a little depressing when no one notice but that's a good thing. Dr. G refined my nose so well that no one noticed it was different. I began to doubt if there was a great change and then I saw the before.... Yes there was a great change! But why isn't anyone complimenting me? Lol. I know I should be happy with my nose especially if it's so early in post op but this experience makes you realize that not everyone is focused on your biggest insecurity.
To summarize: I feel great even though it's relatively early? I'm already exercising and I know I shouldn't but it feels so good! I went hiking and my heart rate did go up (according to my Fitbit) and my nose seems fine. I don't drink alcohol so I see zero impact there. I do eat salty food and to be honest I don't see a difference in swelling. I have continued to accidentally bump my nose (little bumps) everything is ok. Haven't taped my nose because I didn't want my roommate to notice I got a nose job. I was slightly hoping she would comment I look better because she did notice when I got eyelash extensions but she didn't say anything *idk if to be happy or sad.
I love my nose and would do it again. I do feel it's still too big but I don't think I'm going to get revision. I am planning on getting breast implants in the near future. Do you guys know any good BA doctors??
Thank you and I wish you all a happy new year!

Post Op-Day 6
Hi guys!!
Thank you for all your support. I felt so ugly after cast removal but I have so much healing/unswelling to do that I have hope in having a pretty nose!
*in the comment section in the last post for some reason my comments posted double. Sorry.
Christmas is near and it's so exciting that my face is slowly becoming normal again. My nose is doing well. I'm having trouble cleaning it. I'm scared to hurt my nose so my success in clearing the nostrils is pretty low. I need help! How do I clear my nose? I'm still not able to breathe through my nose or smell.
The swelling seems to be going down. The profile looks good. 100x better than before. The front looks bad. I know there's still a lot of swelling so I have a lot to look forward for. My brusing is still there but the most noticeable side effect of nose surgery are the Blood in my eyeballs. I can't wear glasses in public and I have to fill my contact prescription so my left eye is pretty much blind. Today I went to the mall, first time out in public. There is some reddening below my nostrils where the stitches were so if you speak to me you can tell there was something done. I didn't wear my tape and felt like such a rebel.
I stil don't have full control of my upper lip. I was going to have a dental cleaning tomorrow but Dr said to wait another week.
Yesterday my friend bumped into my nose and it hurt a lot. I cried but there was no blood. From what I can tell my nose still looks the same and it feels the same? I emailed the Dr to see if I should be worried. My friend started panicking saying that my nose bone was still broken since it was just 5 days. I'm really scared that I messed up my nose but there wasn't blood and it wasn't a big trauma. We'll see what the Dr replies. I did calm down realizing I'm probably not the first patient to jump their nose. The nose is very sensitive to pain right now so it's probably OK.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How do I clean my nose more efficiently?
2. How do I remove the tape residue in my nose? I have tried baby oil, aquaphor, warm water and there's still a lot of residue. HELP!
