WORTH IT
I haven't posted on here since the early days following my rhinoplasty but everything has been going great. I went for several follow up appointments but Dr.Bridges said I was essentially healed at my appointment 2 weeks following my surgery, with the exception of the skin that peeled off my nose. When I took my cast off there wasn't even any noticable swelling so it was hard to believe I had gone through surgery the following weeks after. He really finessed my rhinoplasty. He kept my tip exactly the same and only took 2mm off my bridge. If anyone is considered seeing him, he'll give you exactly what you ask for.

Day 6 Post
I got my cast removed 6 days post op. My skin didn't react well under the cast and peeled up, but everything else looks great. I would be taking my nose but he advised me not to, because of my skin. My bruising is almost completely gone.

How is healing going? Would you mind posting an update pic? Thanks!
Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just posted a 7 month update
Can we see how it looks now? I’m looking into dr to do my revision rhino. Your nose looks great here
I just posted an update. I'd definitely recommend him. The whole thing couldn't have went smoother.

Day 5 Post
I'm currently 5 days post op. I went in for surgery on the 15th at 6am and was home by 11:30 am. I didnt have much pain from my actually nose, the most painful thing was the IV and then my throat afterward. I had a little swelling between my eyebrows on day 1 and some bruising in the tear trough area. But day 2 my whole face swelled up like a balloon, its going down each day though. Right now I'm taking Arnica and Bromelain that his office gave me, along with an antibiotic and vitaimin C. I get my cast off tomorrow morning, really eager to see the results! So far I'm really pleased with Dr.Bridges office and my treatment at the hospital!

Thanks for the update! Was it an open or closed rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty
Do you have trouble to sleep during the first day after surgery?
I did have trouble at first but it got better the 2nd day.
