My Rhinoplasty Story - Palm Beach Gardens, FL

Well I guess I am going through something common in recovery. After the first day that my cast was removed (two days ago) where my nose looked amazing all day, it has kind of swollen back up and appears more shapeless. I just want it to go back to the first day so much!! I'm not sure what I am doing to make it swell up, I know I have to be patient, but I saw how great it can look, so it's a bit frustrating. I was out with some friends last night who were flabbergasted that I had a nose job only 8 days before. They would have never known. Right now, it is definitely looking closer to pre-nose than post and I am still feeling throbbing. It's mainly the front view that's affected. This is definitely quite a process of ups and downs. I'll post some pics too. Also, I feel like I am going to have to learn new makeup techniques now too. I used to Love doing up my makeup, but yesterday it just didn't look or feel right. I liked it much better in the morning when I only had mascara.

So exited!!!!! Cast is off and I adore my new nose so much already. It's still bruised and swollen, with some stitch marks, but here's the pics right after it was off. I can't begin to say how worth it this was...so happy. I went in there this morning terrified too! I'll put up more pics later when I clean it up and get some hair and makeup on :))) he did exactly what I wanted!

Concluding my big cast removal day, day 7 since surgery, and wow has it been a great one! I still have slight black eyes and a small bump, which he says is good because it will go down great once swelling stops. If it were already perfectly straight right now, it would concave, but because of your ladies stories I was already prepared for swelling! My skin is not amazing, keeping it super moisturized right now. I also have to keep pressure on my tip throughout the day so it stays straight, i guess the cast threw it slightly off. But all in all, my recovery has gone just so great. I can't believe the change a week can make. More pics to come! Also if I have left anything out that anyone would like to know about the process, let me know :)
