Rhinoplasty Fast Recovery Tips (Age 27) Hampton Roads, VA

The doctor said it would up to a year to see the final result of my surgery. I did notice slight changes about 6 months post but not any noticeable changes after that. I am so completely thrilled at my results and glad I didn't put this off any longer. Now I can continue the rest if my life feeling more confident. No more "bad angles" with photographs!!!

I love my new nose! Removing the splint hurt more than I expected. I had stopped taking the prescription pain meds a few days before going into my follow up appointment to get my splint and stitches removed. That day, I wished I had brought my leftover medicine with me. I'm kind of a baby when it comes to pain tolerance though. I didn't have much pain after surgery because of the medicine I'm sure. The Dr comes in and bends the hard splint back and forth to peel it off. There's a ton of white glue-like stuff holding it on there. Once it was finally off my nose was definitely super sensitive (and still is sensitive today). Next was the stitches and they were pretty easy. The whole deal probably took about 15 minutes.

I love my results! I know my nose will still go through some changes while "settling" but I'm at a good starting point. The tip of my nose is still swollen as well as the top of my bridge between my eyes (I can feel the swollen/tingly sensation there). I'm still not back to my full work out routine but I have resumed all my mommy duties and even did a family museum trip a couple days ago.


So Worth it!

Woke up with most of my swelling and bruising gone! I have a pale green color under each eye and the tip of my nose is still swollen. I still feel like my nose is super sensitive to touch plus the pain relievers are making my nose itch (must fight the urge to scratch!!! Lol). I'm finished with the SINECCH capsules and im still continuing to take Bromalein twice daily as well as drinking pineapple juice. I have also still been using frozen peas occasionally.
