yessss! I honestly don't see it. I mean I see a difference from my first couple of weeks to now, but from week 2 to week 4, I just don't see a huge difference.

yay! i'm probably too critical still...but i'm glad you noticed : )

gosh thanks! I'm glad someone thinks the swelling is going down, cause I'm not feeling it yet!

That's good to know--I definitely wasn't sure if I had thick skin, but I believe ya.

thanks : ) I really do love my profile. that is so exciting you're getting your surgery soon, but also nerve-wrecking. just remind yourself you have a very talented surgeon, as well as a skilled anesthesiologist, plus very caring nurses. i was very nervous going under, but the chances of something wrong happening a very slim. i forget what the odds were, but it was ridiculously low. i kept telling myself on the way to the hospital, I'd make more sense if i were nervous driving in a car (because car accidents are more likely) than going to get surgery. that calmed me down, telling my fears they weren't very logical. if you're young, in good health, than surgery is considerably safer. if you're worried about what your nose will look like, try to keep a healthy expectation. that means, not perfection. I know I'm whining about my slow progress, but the truth is that my nose looks so much better now as it is than before. good luck to you, you're really going to shine after surgery : )

Oh gosh, you just made me feel loads better, thank you!!

Yep, but he switched out my exercises. he told me to stop pressing my tip to the right and actually press my left bone in at the bridge because the swelling was popping my bone out on the left side, which made my tip look like it's veering to the right. also, this swelling has been happening for the past week, not just yesterday.

omg, swelling is such a [RS bleep]! that's exactly what he said, swelling. Also, he told me to stop pressing my tip to the right and actually press my left bone in at the bridge because the swelling was popping my bone out on the left side, which made my tip look like it's veering to the right.

He has not prescribed any steroids. I'm going to wait it out until the 6 week mark and if it doesn't improve, I'll go seek a second opinion. I'm really hoping it will look good!
