Post op day 8:
My bruising is slowly getting better day by day. My swelling is still there and I am still Avatar lol but last night I put on some makeup for the first time since before the surgery and i do admit it made me feel like my old self again and it didn't look as bad as I thought. Plus with the help of makeup it boosted my self confidence. Its amazing what concealer and a little lipstick can do! I do love my new nose and think my doctor did a great job. It fits perfect with my face and I love the profile. I feel more beautiful and confident now. I just wish the swelling would go down completely so I can get back into doing beauty pageants!! I also breathe out of my nose now so sleeping has been SO much better. I'm still deciding if I should I back to work Tuesday or not or just wait until the following Tuesday and wait for the swelling to go more down. Oh today was the first day i have been gone out in public and actually spoke to a stranger. They probably thought oh my this girl must have been in a fight or something lol I kind of feel bad ass with the bruises. I just need to decrease this swelling!!!!!!

Post op day 7:
So i just got back from the doctor appointment. Everyone in the office said i have so much swelling and i don't even look like myself. I'm telling you the pictures don't do the swelling any justice because there is so much swelling. My PS admitted that i do look like Avatar lol (great) He said i do have so much swelling and the reason he was going to squeeze my nose was because i guess some PS's do it because the bones are still fragile inside and it kind of molds it into the shape you want it to. But he could not squeeze it today because of the amount of swelling. I'm not exaggerating when i tell you there is swelling. My whole face is swelled. I asked him if there is anything i can do to reduce the swelling and he said no nothing, just time. So he just took out the stitches and said he will see me next week and hopefully some of the swelling will go down by then that way he can start squeezing it. I might have to take off of work next week also because of the amount of swelling i have. I work in customer service so i'm the first face ppl see when they walk in. I'm sure my employer will understand. They know i got this done and were very supportive, thank goodness. Well that's all for today i guess. Nothing changed, except my bruising is going down little by little and i'm still the lovely , Avatar.

Post op day 6:
So last night everyone told me my bruises are going away and everything looks better than the night before. I however do not see a change. Again, i feel like they are just telling me that to make me feel better.
I woke up this morning and yes, i STILL look like avatar. If anything i feel like i look more swollen today and i feel like my nose looks even more swollen. I have been doing everything right. I just don't get it. I sleep elevated on 2-3 pillows, i eat and drink pineapple and im avoiding a lot of sodium. This morning i was changing my shirt and i bumped the tip of my nose with my hand. It did hurt but i ran to the mirror to see if i indented it which i did not, thank goodness. It just started to bleed a tad and i cleaned it up. Also, I have been cleaning my nose with hydrogen peroxide throughout the day and applying aquaphor to my stitches in which they are at the base of my nose and it makes it feel better. I still cant breathe out of my nose, its SOO annoying! I constantly feel like i have to blow it. I cant wait to see the doctor tomorrow so he can squeeze my nose and hopefully he will take out the stitches. I just want to feel some sort of feeling in my nose so i dont care if its going to hurt. I cant wait to see him so he can tell me if my swelling is normal or not. Friday will be 7 days from my surgery. Time has been going slower than ever! I dont know how people can return to work being the 7th day post op. Im scheduled to go back tues april 2nd and im already contemplating to take that week off due to the way my face looks still. Ok i will update tomorrow after my doctors appt. Cross your fingers for me that he tells me good news.
