Rhinoplasty Results - Miami, FL

I wanted to share my experience because I looked through so many of yours and found them so helpful. I have disliked my profile and the tip of my nose for many years. I do not have a large hump but will be breaking the bone to add a slight slope while also defining the tip. Granted we all have different needs I think the more you can review the better the decision you can make. I did not see many people with a similar nose to mine but maybe someone out there has the same concerns as mine and will find this helpful. Freaked out about tomorrow but ready to finally get this underway. So far I have gone out and purchased a car package as well as pulled out some easy clothes for the first week.

Care package:
-Ice bag with lid (size S)
-Vaseline lip balm
-Simply saline nasal spray
-Arnicare Gel (pain relief)
-Arnica Montana pills (365 brand)
-Straws
-Fruit for smoothies (will add protein)
-Facial towelettes
-Travel pillow for neck

* pre filled prescription *

Clothes:
-Pulled out two hooded jackets with zippers
- 5 button down shirts
(Don't want to have to pull over tops and dump nose)

When I got out of surgery I was in little to no pain more like uncomfortable and stiff in the back. Also not supposed to breath through nose so that takes some getting used to and you have the tape underneath for drainage and can be uncomfortable but over all not bad. On a scale of 1-10 for pain I'd say 2 and on a scale of 1-10 for comfort I'd say 4.

So I woke up today thinking everything would be worse because the meds from surgery wore off and I am fine. Again my biggest complaint is back pain, I slept on my back all night, with 3 pillows to keep me elevated, as instructed (I'm a side sleeper) and used a travel pillow around my neck so I stayed put and I'm sore sore sore today :-/. I had some trouble sleeping due to stuffiness but there is not much you can do about that. I've been able to drive today to grab some more soup etc and now just relaxing. So far so good. I'll be getting the splint off on Monday and can't wait to see what it looks like, although I hear that's when the pain starts because the pressure is removed. Let's see. So far I've been lucky, no real significant pain, no bruising little swelling on the cheeks. Stay tuned :)
