It's been 1 month and 3 days since my rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants. I didn't feel I looked truly 'normal' until after 3 honestly-- by that I mean that my nose, not just my tip, sat high up awkwardly on my face and was visibly stiff and hard. I stopped taping my nose at night after the second week out of laziness, but I've started up again because my nose looks much more small and even the day after taping. Here are some random photos over the last week. Let me know if you have questions.

Cast off
mildnessFebruary 4, 2015
Just a forewarning that my cheeks are very swollen, a blood vessel in my eye burst on post-op day 2, and there's some lingering bruising under the eyes.
There was a bit of a wait for all appointments this morning because a surgery ran late. When I was called in, the doctor was cheery and pleasant. He took off my cast and stitches, which was uncomfortable at certain points but nowhere near as bad as I thought it might be. When he showed me my nose I realized that all of the suffering and ugliness of the past 7 days were SO worth it, truly. I had to hug him before leaving. So much respect for that guy-- I'm in love with him!

We made it out!!! Thank you so much! Have you been cleaning with the saline spray and olive oil? I'm kinda scared to go in there. Also can you breathe well?
February 4, 2015
Yes!! Saline spray on a q tip not just the spray into my nose. Then olive oil on a q tip :)
Yes, my breathing has been really great since then. How is it for you? If you are congested get some benedryl RockClimber told me that helped her.

Day 2 Swelling Woes
mildnessJanuary 31, 2015
It's freaking me out to look at myself right now. Throughout yesterday my eyes gradually swelled up to the point that now it's hard to see out of them. I hope the swelling has peaked because I cannot imagine then anymore swollen. I feel like a newborn puppy whose eyes won't open for 2 weeks haha. Still no pain, and the only bruising and swelling is on my eyes for now. No picture updates until the swelling decreases some because I want to spare you guys.

Aw hon day 2 is so hard! It's *literally* the hardest. Just get through today, and when you wake up tomorrow it will already have started to go down. I know icing really helped me, and drinking just a ton of water. It will help flush it out. Hang in there! You are going to be so glad in just a few weeks and you won't remember any of this.

THANK YOU for this pep talk. I tried to stay off of this site yesterday and also away from the mirror. You're right though-- eventually we won't have much memory of the ugly parts of recovery (thankfully). For some reason I can't comment on your updates anymore, but am wishing you + your new nose a lifetime of happiness together!
February 2, 2015
You can do it!!! PM me if you want to chat :) It has been tough but I know you can do it!! You will look sooo gorgeous after - I am so excited to see your results !!! :)

Hi. Did he take a pic after operation ?
February 4, 2015
I'm not sure if he did, I forgot to ask at my post-op, but he didn't mention anything so maybe not
February 3, 2015
Hang in there! Both my eyes were nearly swollen shut as well which totally freaked me out! It got better quickly on day 4 and 5.
February 4, 2015
You were right! It was hard to picture things improving. Thank goodness that period is over.

It's not just you! They shut down the comments due to excessive trolling ;)
February 4, 2015
Oh dang this site! I was replying to Mildness...She was asking why she couldn't comment on my review :)
February 4, 2015
Sorry to hear. Well your nose is looking really good! Reminds me of your morphs and gigs. If it has that shape with the tape on then it's just swelling for sure, and eventually it will be that size all the time! Congrats to you. Thanks so much for all your support throughout this
