I Am 25 Year Old Female Who Decided on Septorhinoplasty

Every since elementary school, I was tormented by kids over my nose. I had a bump on the bridge and when I laughed or smiled, the nose curved like a pelican. I noticed it but it wasn't until in 5th grade, when I had a little boy come up to me and ask me what is wrong with my nose, that it really got to me. I remember in middle school, there was a boy who rejected me. His reasoning was that I had too many "big things" on me. He stated, "she has a big butt, big boobs, and a big nose." Then my best friend's boyfriend used to call me Pinocchio. I used to go home and cry every night. As I got older, I grew accustomed to my nose, or I guess you could say I didn't care about what people thought as much. I just thought, this is part of me and I can't change it. The more mature I became and others became, the more people were uplifting, telling me how beautiful I was and that my nose wasn't bad. At this point, I didn't hate my nose, but I did think it dominated my face and that removal of the bump and slight raise of the tip would enhance my features. I was now doing it for me, because even though everyone told me I was beautiful, this was something I could change for myself. I am now on post op day 2 and I will show pictures of my recovery and progress.

Here's some pics showing me at the hospital and immediately post-op. I was recommended to stay in the hospital one night.

more bruised after 24 hours, but I have had zero pain meds. The worse part was the congestion from the mucous, blood, spongey stuff in my nose. Doc said my nose wasn't packed except with some cellulose sponges. I have been taking Sinecch pills to reduce bruising recommended by my doc.
