I may be a Daddy's Girl, but it doesn't mean I need my daddy's nose - Newport Beach, CA

Pics at 3 months and 2 weeks since my surgery. Swelling gone down…but still more to go.

I'm now at 5 weeks since my surgery and 4 weeks since my cast was taken off. I want to share some new pics to show the progress.

All my bruising is gone, but I feel swelling when I wake up in the morning, and the tip still feels sensitive and numb.

My doctor didn't advise me to tape my nose, but he did ask that I do some nose compression exercises, 3 times a day for a 1 minute at a time. This is to keep the shape in place. The first week or so was a lil painful, but now it's not too bad.

I cannot believe again how long it took me to do this. I have no regrets, and all I tell people is that finally I just feel like myself.

Since my cast came off on Thursday 8/21. I've had a lil runny nose and congestion still. My doctor said he did some extensive septum work. I still have a lot of swelling and bruising that needs to heal, but I love my new nose. It's what I wanted. It fits my face, subtle, but has made a huge difference.
Look forward to the 1 month mark!
