Pics from the last week

Some of these we're taken at my work at a tattoo shop so ignore the weird backgrounds. I'll add details to each one explaining when I took it and what's going on.

Update 3.5 weeks post op

I was gonna wait to update till after my next follow up appointment with Dr Kim on the 19th but I've been getting a lot I messages asking me how I'm doing.
I've got a lot of swelling still which is all over the place and better on some days than others. It seems to be switching sides on me too. My tip and nostrils are still hard and uneven but I'm not super worried about it. I was kind of freaking out because I noticed a small bump on my bridge that wasn't there before and I know my surgeon noticed it too when he took the cast off because he pushed on it but said nothing. As the swelling went down it became more and more noticeable and seemed to grow but after reading about it, I'm pretty sure it's a bone callous which should go away on it's own and i can get a steroid shot to help it too. I'm gonna ask about it when I go back in. Sometimes I worry about it and sometimes I don't but it seems pointless to freak out now when there's nothing I can do.
I also am a little congested but breathing much better than before. I have slight discomfort still but it gets better slowly. I have some pics from last week and some from today. Still have uneven swelling but overall I am happy and see an improvement from before.
For some reason I keep getting an error message when I try to upload pictures so I'll keep trying... :,(

Cast off 2 days ago

Got my cast off Tuesday morning but I've been lazy and kinda bummed about my nose. There's a lot of swelling on one side still but it gets a little bit better every day. It looks different every time I look in the mirror, sometimes better, sometimes worse. I'm being pretty patient and optimistic though. Also I can say that pineapple really does seem to work for swelling! I tried it today. Here's a few pics from the last few days including one I took right after eating a bunch of pineapple where it looks the best it has so far. My nostrils are still super uneven but they probably always will be to an extent. It's an improvement and it gets a little better each day so I'm not making any assumptions. Either way, even when I look like squidward at times, I still think it looks better than before! My entire left side (your right) is extremely swollen and rock hard so I know it will continue to change. My favorite part is my columella! Love it :)

The consultation was great. He seemed very confident and explained everything he thought should be done in great detail and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I went in extremely nervous and left feeling excited. I am so ready to get it done already, but I'm also very nervous. I will post more pics asap!
