I am starting to become more used to my new nose :) i have been seeing friends who knew my with my old nose and they have not noticed anything so far! And they are really outspoken people so I know they would have said something or given me strange looks but nothing. Its really surprising to me as I feel like I look drastically different. but I am glad :)
My one concern I have and this is TMI but I get big boogers (sorry lol) especially in the mornings and I don't know if this is normal?
I am also waiting for my tip to become less round and for my smile to fully come back (I say have 70% back now).
overall though I'm remaining positive :)

Guys I have reached the 2 months milestone! :D
So far my profile is still great, the front is still a bit too wide for my liking.
I also am still congested which is a tad annoying lol. I am hoping that goes away.
I have still not gotten my smile back, I say its about 60% there. Looking forward to the 3 months!!!!

This has been a looooong month lol
Overall i do see the swelling improving but I still want my front to be less wide and piggy-ish. Also my nostrils are uneven, I emailed Dr. G and he said this is normal and to give it a year. Also cant smile yet womp womp.
I have been experiencing burning and stinging of eyes in the morning, along with bloodshot eyes, I went to eye dr and he told me that most likely the rhinoplasty irritated my eyes as they are VERY irritated and dry. He gave me drops and I hope this helps.
All this month I have been having a low sodium diet to prevent more swelling and ive lost like 15 pounds! lol. almost all food has a lot of salt so Ive been eating very little. I dont know how much longer Im going to do this as Im craving so many things!!!! lol
All in all it has not been as easy of a recovery as I thought going in,but still hoping its worth it in the end :)

My recovery was much harder than I expected too. I actually got an infection in my right eye that was quite painful. My friends who had this surgery made it sound so easy and the recovery short and painless. This was not the case for me, lol! I'm 7 weeks postop now and everything is really going great. This is such a long process. Hang in there!

How are you feeling now? I am almost 3 weeks post op and I totally understood your post. I look (still) very avatar-ish and wide between my eyes!

I guess the area between our eyes is still swollen? It makes my eyes look a bit different. I am wsiting for the 2 months to see, but it seems like swelling is a bit less thankfully

The booger situation went one for almost 7 months for me extensively. It the. Tapered off month by month.
