So I am on day 9 right now, and this morning I was crying hysterically because I just feel that this process is going to take forever and it's really tough waiting. I also was really upset because my nose really wasn't so bad to begin with and I felt that maybe I have done this all for nothing! I am a very secure person and with all this swelling I feel very self conscious in public, and it's not a great feeling. I have a ton of swelling (obviously to be expected) and bruising left behind from the cast which was removed yesterday. But I have to say as miserable as I felt this morning I just compared a photo of my nose from yesterday to today and can already see improvements. So I feel a little more encouraged that each day it will get better. The waiting is tough but I am hoping it will all be worth it. Another difficult part for me has actually been that since I have gotten the surgery, my skin all over my face has been extremely oily yet peeling of skin at the same time. It's really bizarre! So it's a little tough because I have to wait for my skin to normalize before makeup will look remotely good on it again, and I am a big makeup person! I begin college in about a little over a month, so hoping to feel more confident in my appearance by then.

All I can think about is how much happier I would be if I never did this surgery. I am really really starting to regret it. I didn't realize it was going to interfere with my life so greatly. I expected a week and I'd be feeling like myself again but it's far from it. I wish I just left my nose alone. :(

Worried

Two things concerning me right now. Number one...the bump on my nose is still there!!! Same exact size and everything. I don't understand how it could still be there even though he said he shaved it down. I'm really bummed about this. Number two... I'm worried my new nose isn't projected from my face enough... I know my before nose was projected too much but now I am worried there was an over correction. Thoughts?

I should also mention that the majority of my swelling is occurring on the bridge of my nose like right between my eyes. Not a cute look! Maybe this is creating the bump and it's just swelling?

The swelling is normal from all the research I have done...give it some time at least 6 months before you really start to determine if you need any minor revisions from your doctor. Stay in communication with them and voice any concerns. Did they mention anything about the healing process and what to expect? From your picture I can see quite the distance. It looks very cute but hard to tell without seeing the rest of your features if it was overkill or not.
