Cast off, tape on
$5,960
The doctor took off my cast and stitches on Monday May 5th, exactly one week after my surgery. I saw that most people on here and friends that I know that have had their noses done that had dissolvable stitches. For whatever reason, my doctor didn't use those. Him removing those stitches was the only pain I have felt post-op. I was in tears.
He then put on the skin colored tape (I didn't even get to see my nose in between the cast removal and the tape :( ) which I have had on since Monday. I get to remove it tonight on my own. He said the easiest way to remove it is in the shower so I will do that tonight. The skin on my nose is so dry and it's sort of peeling. And the tip of my nose is still VERY swollen but I was expecting that. I can already see improvement from the side profile though.

Day of treatment
ALL DONE! Now the healing begins
I have no energy so I will update more later. Just wanted to add a picture. They finished at about 10AM so this is about 8 hours post-op. I have no bruising on my eye area but it looks like I have a bruise under the cast. One of my eyes is almost swollen shut.
The only thing that hurts is my throat from being intubated because of the anesthesia. Really really badly. Any one have any cures, tip, tricks for that? It's the worst :(
