I really like your outcome. It looks natural! You have to wait for the swelling to go down I guess. Be patient it looks good so far. As for the headaches, I'm really sorry you're experiencing this but maybe you should as your doctor for headache meds? You look pretty honestly

Everyone heals differently. Also if you have thick or thin skin. If you had open vs closed. I have thick skin. I'm Hispanic. I had open rhinoplasty. I read because of my situation I will have more edema. It could be 6, 12 or even longer for swelling to be gone. You are looking at the very early stages of healing. You can't judge nor can I. My cousins nose looked different for years. I noticed 4 years later she has a huge dent on her left side of bridge which wasn't there in the first year. So good or bad changes can occur. Seeing that your nose is swollen it only will get better and smaller. Don't sweat it right now. I know. I criticize my nose and its not healthy. I'm only 3 1/2 months post op.

Ok, here it is....I see what you see. A still-big nose. But you are super duper duper swollen! Like so swollen. Like bigger than before surgery swollen. But that is good news, because it means this is NOT your final result. I know more than anyone how hard it can be to swallow this information, especially when so many people right after surgery have VERY different, smaller, cute looking noses, but I'm beginning to see the light myself with tiiiiiny changes every week. But changes in the right direction! Everyone heals differently, and we all started out with different noses. You might have thick skin, which means for now (and probably for a long time), the nose is temporarily going back to it's 'normal' shape. The skin has memory and it takes a long time for it to 'forget' and find it's new shape. That's the bulbousness you see. They reduced the cartilages underneath, but the skin still holds it's old, round, big shape, and then fluid rushes in underneath and sort of holds it there like a balloon. Even if your nose feels hard like there's cartilage right under the skin, it's swelling. We think of swelling as being squishy but let me tell you it's not. It can be rock hard and feel like bone or cartilage. Know that this is NOT your final result! As for those exercises, I can't tell you what is best for you but I would stop if it were me! I have only ever heard of doctors telling their patients to *gently* press, not super hard. Ouch! xoxo

even though you still got alot of healing to go your nose so far looks great! did your doctor use any cartilage or a implant for your nose?

I compared your picture from the day you got the cast off and your current picture. I agree, your swelling increased dramatically after you got your cast off. The definition you saw when you first got the cast off seems like more of a representation of what your final result will look like. I think its a great improvement. Its very natural and you still look like yourself, with subtle changes. Its a better version of your old, not a new nose completely. I like your results and I wouldn't stress it. I just got my cast off yesterday and I can already see my nose swelling more than the day I got the cast off. I am just being patient and waiting at least 6 weeks before I make a judgement. Congratulations!

That is frustrating. I'm sorry you are going through this. My geandmother is the same way. Shes like the news reporter of the family. I honestly got the the point in my life that I don't give a rats butt what anyone thinks. Its also easier cause I don't live with her. Dont sweat the small stuff. Just get better so then you can feel better :)

My mother did the same thing to me after breast aug. I didn't like it either, but put on a confident face and be proud. A couple of months from now it won't seem like such a big deal. :)

aw sorry girl. i hope everything else is fine

How are you???? I hope you are ok :) ♡

The tea party looks absolutely ravishing my darling! So sorry about your mom telling everyone and inviting them over against your wishes. My mother told all of her friends before consulting me and I was irate especially since my changes seem pretty subtle AND her friends likely wouldn't have noticed!!! Glad your recovery is going ok. Hang in there you will be back to your normal routine soon!
