Happy Surgiversary to me!
WORTH IT$6,500
So it's been one year since I had surgery, and not much has changed over the last two or three months since my last update. My allergies are really bad this year, the pollen here is in overdrive & so is my nose! There is some slight feeling coming back to the middle of my nose lol that's good...even the tip is starting to not be totally numb! Lol I suppose I shall add some photos again in another three months, see if they compare to my one-year shots. Right now I will just add some comparison shots of my pre-surgery nose to my year-after-surgery nose ;)

9 month mini update!!
I took a few pics for comparison.. Even after 9 months, my tips is still slowly shrinking, thank god! I won't post any side views, there's been no changes to my side profile. But sure enough the tip is still shrinking :) The numbness is almost all gone, too, yay! I love how much better my whole face looks now! And breathing isn't an issues anymore :)

Thank you SO much for posting your journey! I'm 6 weeks post op and I feel like I look crazy. I know it's because I'm puffy and swollen and just don't look like myself. It's been really hard to deal with. I think i look in the mirror or take a pic of my face at least 20 times a day! Your experience has given me so much comfort.

You are very welcome! I know it's hard to feel normal right now, but you have to try to keep it out of your head & have patience, my entire face was really swollen for a good 6-8 weeks & I felt like the elephant man, and even though no one really noticed it or said anything, I look back at pictures from that time and think to myself, wow, my face was FAT lol. Your entire face will look normal again in a few more weeks, hang in there! And your nose will be swollen for a while, especially in the morning! But trust me it is worth it! I had surgery in May and in Christmas pics my face looks sooo much nicer & my nose compliments my face SO much better now :) Stay away from the camera right night to help yourself not obsess as much ;) Just take a heads on once a month, I promise THEN you will feel better since you will see the difference :D
I will be posting 10 month update pics soon! Wow, time flew! lol

You are so kind to have replied! Thank you! I really do need to take your advice in the picture thing... I just can't seem to help myself. It's a compulsive need at the moment. BTW, in addition to your swollen face post surgery, did you also feel that the muscles in your face were pulled downwards and looked different? I had open rhino, so, maybe that's a side effect of my type of procedure. I want my old face and expressions back so badly! Thanks again! You are a tremendous help and comfort!

Hmmmmmm, that might be because you had an open rhino, I had closed. But I can tell you that even now I still have som numbness down the middle and on the tip, so it takes time, too. Ugh trust me it took me like 6 weeks to smile normally again lolol it was crazy! It might take a little longer for you because it was open rhino, but it will happen! :D
