So a few things since I last updated I'm back to my boxing classes (bags not people lol) and this usually leaves me with a stuffy nose for a few hours and then resolves. I also noticed I have super oily skin on my nose now which I read is expected and will resolve with time. I also noticed there is a squishy bump on my right nostril and the inside of that nostril is more swollen than the other. Not sure if this is normal or not but I'll ask Dr G about it when I send him my 3mo pictures if it's still there. Has anyone else had this? My tip is still rock solid haha but the bridge swelling has come down a little. So far I'm still very happy with everything :)

How many days ahead of your pre-op visit did you fly in? I'm thinking about swelling that may be caused by an airline flight and want to make sure any of that is resolved before surgery. I need to book my flight so it would be helpful to know.

I flew out 7 days after my surgery. I was still very swollen at this point but Dr. G recommends taking Afrin nasal spray 30min before boarding the flight to prevent further swelling and this actually helped a lot I could breathe the whole way home and the swelling didn't get any worse.

Sorry I read your question wrong! I flew in the same day of my pre-op appointment. We landed at 11am and my appointment was around 5pm I think. It was kind of a crazy day but because of work I wanted to condense the trip down to 8 days. I never really noticed any swelling from the flight in but I never really paid any attention.

You were brave to fly in on the same day! I would have been too worried about airline delays and cancellations.

I also had oily skin on my nose!! I am 10 months post op and it still hasn't gone down all the way! I believe it to be scar tissue. It doesn't impact my breathing though and isnt visible from the outside.. so I'm not too concerned about it
