2 weeks Post Op
WORTH IT$13,970
Yesterday was 2 weeks post op!
Have a few things I wanted to update on.
2nd Post Op appointment: . I went in last Friday to meet with Dr. Funk for my second post op appointment. My 1st post op was on Monday. 2nd Post Op was Friday of the same week. In this appointment he removed the rest of the stitches from my nose and chin and took the tape off! No more wrapped up nose! I could finally see the work that he'd done!! He said I was still swollen and swelling would progressively go down. As of that moment, even with the swelling - I loved it!!
As for my chin and Lipo he said I was still very swollen and that everything I saw was normal. It takes more time to see the results from Lipo he said. He answered all of my questions and I left reassured that everything would turn out fine - I just needed to give it time. I'll be back in 3 weeks for my 3rd post op appointment.
Now yesterday was 2 weeks Post op!
Nose: Swelling has gone down, I can breathe just fine. At this point all bleeding has stopped. As of last week when I ate or did anything where I moved to much, my nose would start to drip. (Warning kinda gross: it's not like a bloody nose but a runny nose with a pink tint to it). This was normal since my nose is still healing. I was super nervous that my nose was going to do this for the rest of my life but as of a few days ago I have not had it happen anymore! I do feel uncomfortable still in the sense that I can't fully clean my nose. Like you know if you feel like you need to pick your nose you can just get a Kleenex and get it out. Now my nose is still healing and i don't want to mess anything up so I've just been lightly blowing my nose but it's not doing the trick. Not a big deal tho.
Chin: I hated it the first few days. I thought it stuck out too much and I looked witchy. I think now the swelling has gone down and it's "grown on Me". My profile looks AWESOME! still trying to get used to it from the front though. It did screw up my smile BIG TIME but every day I'm seeing progress and slowly gaining feeling and movement back and seeing improvements. Scar under my chin is healing nice too. I'll add a picture of the weirdness it's added to my smile. I've read up about it and it seems to be normal and hopefully corrects itself over time. In the meantime I have had to adjust my smile so that I don't look funny.
Lipo: id gotten a rash under my chin but we aren't sure if it was from the surgery or the garment I had to wear. It's gone now (I stopped wearing the garment - I probably need to be wearing it. I'll do that tonight lol). There is some weirdness going on with my skin. Dr Funk said that was all standard normal as the tissues adjusts. Over all looking forward to continued progress!
Yesterday my nose made its first public debut at my friends bday party. They said you couldn't even tell which I was so happy to hear!! I didn't want to look like I had plastic surgery, you know? They did agree that my smile was weird but other than that they had a lot of complements to Dr funks work! FYI my nose is still sensitive so it was not easy applying make up on my nose. I had to be extremely gentle.

Profile Before and After
Surgery was Wednesday - today is Tuesday the week after. It's almost a full week. Still some swelling. Haven't seen any progress from the Lipo. Starting to get nervous about that. Have my 2nd post op appointment tomorrow. Hopefully this is normal.

Thank you so so much for posting all of this. It looks like your nose is going to turn out beautiful (and exactly how I want my own lol). I hope everything works out for your chin. Please continue to update if you can! Dr. Funk is my first (and only) choice for rhinoplasty at the moment as I just can't find any other surgeon around my area whose rhinoplasty results are to my liking. Unfortunately, people just don't seem to review him or post their own before and after pictures even though he seems to do so many rhinoplasties! Thank you again!!
Hi there! Thank you! I agree - not very many people post reviews for him! I was apprehensive to post mine especially with pictures bc it's kind of weird. But I know that's what I needed when I was doing research so I bit the bullet and posted. I was obsessed w looking at reviews on here so much that I would just re-read them lol. I will continue to post my progress. So far I am extremely happy! Best of luck to you on your journey. I'm sure yours will come out amazing!
Hi, I have surgery scheduled with Dr. Funk and I was wondering how your chin/neck lipo is now? I am getting that done along with a rhinoplasty. Did you get a great result?
