Well my surgery is tomorrow! I am super nervous...
WORTH IT$7,000
Well my surgery is tomorrow! I am super nervous but also so excited. I have been reading through everyone's reviews and so I thought I would go ahead and start a diary too! I will try to keep updates of my recovery. I went in for my initial appointment with my ENT because of my sinus infections and headaches and found out I had a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates and we decided that surgery would be the best route to alleviate these issues. I have always wanted a nose job so my ENT referred me to Dr. Gonyon with whom he often performs procedures with so that I could get them both done at the same time. So I went in for my consultation with Dr. G about a week later and discussed all of the things I didn't like about my nose ( asymmetrical, bony ridges near top, and unrefined tip) and I decided to schedule my surgery almost immediately!

Day 3 post op
Well I had my surgery on Thursday at 7am. They said everything went really well. That day I pretty much slept all day and I felt ok but yesterday and today have been pretty awful! My eyes are so incredibly swollen and I have so much pressure in my face! I heard that after the third day it usually gets better so I'm hoping for that! I took a few pics and boy do I look god awful but I'll go ahead and post them anyways!

Can't wait to see your nose!! Looks good so far?

Yeah I can already see a big difference and I still have the cast on!! I'll def post pics as soon as the cast comes off! My bruising is quite a bit better this morning, I'm thinking tomorrow my eyes won't be swollen anymore at all.

Yes I can also tell, even with the cast on, that it is going to be gorgeous@. Can't wait to see it! Congrats.

Our noses are/were kinda similar so I am excited to see your results! Hope your swelling goes down asap!
June 22, 2015
Thanks! My eyes still have a decent amount of swelling! I'm thinking by the time I get my cast off all of the swelling will finally be gone! I'll def post pics as soon as there are changes:)

5th day post op (including surgery date)
Well overall I am finally feeling so much better! I still have some congestion and a strange tingly feeling and I also get these weird dizzy spells at times, but the worst is definitely over!
