Rhinoplasty To Make My Nose More Feminine - Iowa, IA

Sorry it has been a few days after my last post but I got the splint off and at first I freaked out! My nose looked lopsided to me and I was so scared I had a botched job. Thankfully though, all the doctors and my mom were saying how great it looked from the side and I already got tell from the profile it looked really good. It is MUCH smaller and shorter which is what I wanted and no more ugly bump :) My face feels really tight now and I feel a little weird without the splint on because it still feels like it is there. When they cleaned out my nose I was DISGUSTED at some of the stuff that had been in there still and now I can breathe very easily in and out of my nose too! I can't wait for another week to go by because the tip is super swollen and to one side. Now that I am on the journey to recovery and seeing the final product, I really can't recommend enough Dr. Koch as well as getting your nose done if it something you have thought about for years or to just make the symmetry of your face look better!

Sorry I haven't updated in so long to anyone who has been reading. Tomorrow my stitches come out and my splint will be off - can't wait to see my new nose :) my face is very swollen from the surgery still so I hope that this goes down soon because I look puffy! I really cannot wait to see it but also am happy that school doesn't start for another 6 weeks so hopefully any puffiness and swollen nose will be less noticeable then. I cannot wait that I am 12 hours away from seeing what has kept me basically home for a week!!

I woke up this morning and felt SO sick, like I was about to throw up! I woke up feeling the worst today because of that and how swollen my whole face was. I drank a little milk and took some Tylenol and after about an hour I felt a lot better. My face is the most swollen today but I can breathe very easily through my nose. My only other complaint is that I get these quick, but very intense, headache like pains throughout the day. Some of them are behind my ears and I almost feel like I got punched for a second or two! I also felt sick again later when I was in the car but felt way better after I ate. Somehow I still haven't gotten real bruises on my face. I have very small, dark red ones on the inner corners of my eyes but you can barely see them. It is yellow under my eyelids but no black or blue anywhere. I feel pretty good today and I get my splint off in a few days. I cannot wait to see what it looks like but also can't believe I'm only halfway to getting it off. It feels like it has been forever since the surgery even though it has only been around 80 hours. I am hoping tomorrow and this weekend I will feel better!
