2 Weeks Post Op

I went in for my 2 week post op and to get released to go back to work. What a difference a week makes. The bruising is gone and the tape is off! It's still swollen but I still love what I see.

I can sleep regularly now! I have gotten used to sleeping a bit elevated and I've read it's better to prevent face wrinkles so I may just keep it up! ;)

I still have to wait yo work out. It makes perfect sense. The swelling that would come from an elevated heart rate is going to interfere with healing so I'm going to patiently wait it out.

No glasses for at least 4 weeks. Dr.Gilpin is so kind and was going to show me how to tape them so they wouldn't interfere with my healing and I told him it wasn't that much of an issue with me. I primarily wear contacts anyway.

I go back in one month and am looking foward to seeing the progress.

My last remaining instruction was to tape each night before bed. Dr.Gilpin gave me a demonstration and the tape to use.

I'll make sure to post an update along the way.

The swelling is subsiding...

It's a relief to see the swelling subside. I've been working on my bruises with hot/cold compresses, apple cider vinegar and a topical called DerMend. I hope that they will wear away before I return to work in a couple of days.

I still feel like I'm waking up from surgery every time I wake up from a nap or overnight. Not sure if it's a residual of the anesthesia. My eyes tend to feel a bit sunk in with some pressure in my head and tends to lessen over the course of the morning. I'm down to Arnica and Tylenol each day now.

Dr.Gilpin was very thoughtful and listened carefully to what I wanted to accomplish with my rhinoplasty. His staff, especially Ashley and Chelsea have been helpful and have done a great job of communicating with me. My consult lasted longer than I expected and I never felt like I was being rushed. I'm looking forward to finally accomplishing something I've dreamed about doing for many years.
