3 months

I had my 3 months PO visit about 2 weeks ago. The Dr. said that everything is healing nicely. The swelling has gone down on one side more rapidly than the other and has left me a bit asymmetrical. He said to wait and see what it looks like at the 6 month mark when my next apt. is. The tip and columella are still sore to the touch. I have been gently massaging the bridge as he said to reduce scar tissue but after a couple days of that it gets swollen so I take a break. I will update again then with more thoughts on asymmetry if any remain and whatnot. I will also get before and after pics then. And yes I wear my robe a lot haha.

9 1/2 weeks post op

I have since had 2 post op visits. The first one was 6 1/2 weeks after my surgery. It kept getting postponed due to poor weather. It went well and he addressed my concerns of stuffy breathing. He told me to pick up ponaris oil at the pharmacy which is an all natural nasal emollient using cotton seed oil and eucalyptus. It has been working well. I was supposed to have my next appointment next week but instead moved it up to a few days ago because of some concern of how it was looking from the front. He said I am healing ahead of schedule on the one side and the swelling has gone down rapidly but the side that had more work is taking a little longer and it should end up more symmetrical in the end. He has advised me to gently massage the bridge everyday for a minute. I will attach a picture of the profile for now and some head on images once I get a better idea of how the swelling is going to even out (fingers crossed). My next apt. is in April and I should have a better idea by then how it will eventually look and post again then. So far I am very happy with the profile:)
