I know swelling is huge right now at only day 6, but I still feel a hard bump. Very small but still a bump... We're meticulous people, if we want our nose hacked down were specific people.. I said I want a slight slope, and I see a slight bump... Regardless of swelling I do NOT see how a hard bump is going to cave in to be a slope. What. The. [RS bleep]. Can anyone give insight?!

I'm no expert , but with the swelling it is hard to tell, I heard that a rhino can take up to six months maybe one year to see the final result , but I understand your fear about the hard bump.. I'm sure with times you'll see the slope it is too soon , talk to ur surgeon you will feel better .

I mean 6 days ... it is going to take me 14 days (he says) to get off the splint .. and 7 for the packing ... thats why I guess you are pretty fast

The reason I didn't want to have rhinoplasty was because of the dreaded nose packing. The thought of not being able to breathe, especially during eating was not appealing as well as the dry tongue from mouth breathing. I was lucky enough to find a Beverly Hills doctor who invented a nasal airway that completely avoids this problem. Once I found out about the "Kotler Nasal Airway" I decided to go ahead and have my nose fixed. There is some minor packing used to prevent any bleeding BUT you are able to breathe thru your nose immediately after surgery! I found this wonderful invention to be heaven sent and a more humane way of treating patients. I don't understand why every doctor doesn't use this great invention to avoid that disgusting nose packing which can be very painful when removed. Had my nose fixed on 8/1/14 and very happy with results.

Doc says my splint will likely fall off before our appt next week. I'm nervous to see it! I can't tell a huge difference with the cast on I hope I'm not disappointed !!

AH! Reading your posts freaks me out. I already suffer from sinus pressure and pain so I can only imagine how awful it will be! Yikes! You look great already though. Can't wait to see it sans cast!
