Thought I'd write a quick 5 month update on my rhinoplasty... And I'm thrilled to say it just gets better everyday!
There is still some swelling around the tip but I'm so very happy with the shape and how well it fits my face!
Dr De Silva really balanced out my face and while no one outside of my immediate family and best friends know that I had the procedure, (exactly as I'd hoped) everyone comments on how happy I look!

1 day since cast off
Had my cast removed yesterday! (Yay)
Having read a few experiences on here I was nervous, but I'm glad to say that it was absolutely fiiiinne!
Cast eased off gently, stitches came out with a few tugs and Dr gave me a couple of shots of cortisone (I'm still numb so again no big deal) - and we were done!
He then showed me how to tape my nose and that was that!
The swelling is (to me) very obvious but I'm already soooo happy with my nose. Dr De Silva has done an absolutely FANTASTIC job!
My profile is now hump free and smooth. From the front, it looks wide but there's a long road ahead and even despite the swelling it's made such a huge and positive difference to my overall face!
I look forward to the swelling going down!

Congratulations dear so happy for you. I wished he did the same to me

Thank you - but honestly I think your nose just needs time...I'm no expert obviously but I've read many reviews on here all the medical professionals replying seem to say it's just a matter of time.
But I am sorry you aren't happy - I know that being told "it takes time" can be little comfort when you are desperate to see an improvement! Very best of luck and I'm sure it will all work out for you x

Thanks dear. I don't think the depression will go away even if the swelling decrease. There is a clear indentation on the right side and also a hole-like depression (not very deep) on the bridge. I believe it is caused by osteotomies and if I am right this will need the bone and cartilage to be fixed by another operation. I will be so happy if I find all this wrong x

POD 6 - update
OH EM GEE - cast comes off tomorrow!
I'm very excited for it to come off but I'm also scared about what lies underneath! Weird fear all of a sudden but cold feet is a bit redundant now...
I can see that the tip and base are swollen so I'm just going to focus on the profile tomorrow - will post some more pictures once I am cast free :)

Oh, all the best! Try not to freak because what you see will not be what you will have once the healing has happened... [RS bleep]

Thanks so much! It's off! And I love it!
There's obviously a lot of swelling but wow it looks so much better already!
Love the profile and I'm looking forward to seeing the improvements from the front as the weeks go by! [RS bleep]
