Hi guys! I think I like my new nose! Lol. I am still noticing slight bulge on the right side of my nasal tip but I knew the swelling of the tip would last the most amount of time so I'm being patient. I also notice the space between my nasal tip and upper lip is great and I'm paying more attention to folds around my lips. I actually had juvederm injected in my lips at the tip of my rhinoplasty and my Dr. Suggested filling the space between my nasal tip and upper lip to help adjust to this change... Well I think that filler has begun to dissipate and now I'm wondering if I'll need to inject that area with fillers to be happy with the change :// anyone else have this experience? . I noticed a harder time breathing when I first started working out again (hardcore training) but now that's not an issue and I have no trouble with breathing. Stay tuned...

4 Weeks post op
Hi guys! It's been a few weeks since I've posted. After the cast was off I was really happy with results. I then had tape put on my nose for an additional week and that was a huge pain in the butt! Only a pain because the tape is sticky and caused a few pimples as well difficult to keep clean. I also was using peroxide and Q-tip in order to keep everything inside clean. I had a lot of crusties! Lol but not the worst thing to deal with. The swelling in-between my eyes has really gone down but I'm feeling like my nose looks really similar to my old nose. I've done some comparisons and I do definitely see the difference it's just not a huge change. I'm really really hoping my bridge gets a little slimmer and my tip becomes more defined. I understand it's still early on so I'm trying not to think about it too much. I'll be back soon with some updates. Thanks!

Your nose looks nice. It takes time to see more refinement. You're only few weeks post. You should give it a few months.

Yes! Trying to be patient. I hope I see more changes. I feel like the right side of my tip is more swollen than the left. I wonder if that's possible. The cartilage on the left on tip is firmer and the right of tip less firm and more numb (do close to each other so strange) but I really hope it's going to change.

It also depends on the thickness of your skin. I have medium skin thickness and it takes forever to see refinement. Mine also was a revision and that usually takes longer to heal. But I can tell you that my nose has changed so much and I only started to see more refinement around 5 months post or so. My nose was also more swollen on the right side than the left so that's possible in your case. You look gorgeous!!

Day 7 Post Op
I finally got the splint off! It was a little painful having the split removed but on a scale of 1-10 only about a 2. I only got to see my nose for a few brief minutes! The tip was definitely swollen but I was able to see that my tip was much more defined. I now have tap on my nose and thought it would be a small amount but it's a lot of tape. So it's still almost as if I have the split except now I can scratch minimally if needed. They also stuck long Q-tips up my nose to clean out scanning with peroxide and that was not fun! You are able to feel everything and where the nose was broken the pressure is greater. Since the nose has been covered for so long and then suddenly all this action going on is a little overwhelming. So I'm looking forward to what next Monday brings but for now I'll monitor the swelling, no significant increase since the splint came off, and I'll be cleaning with Q-tip twice a day ????
