Been MIA because life is back to normal once again. Crazy to think at one point I was bedbound thinking when the day was gonna come where I would look normal again.
Three weeks is when I started feeling normal again. My nose is still swollen now, especially in the mornings and after any alcohol intake. Bruising around my eyes is officially gone, but the dark circles are still there and very noticeable even with concealer. I heard this takes a while to go away.
Overall I am so so so happy with my results. I never once doubted my decision. Stitches have been falling out and I am able to breathe from both nostrils. Thank you Dr. Grigoryants for being an amazing doctor.

Finally feeling like myself and felt good enough to put on some makeup to go out!
Seriously this recovery process was such a difficult one for me. I definitely underestimated it. I can finally breathe out of both nostrils at this point. It’s the first day that I felt good enough to not stay home.
I’ve been keeping my nose moist with Vaseline and that’s really been helping. It was hard putting makeup on my nose because it’s still very swollen and tender to touch. The first few days after cast removal I started smelling weird smells, but all of that had disappeared.
I’m still less than 2 weeks but I love my new nose already!! For anyone thinking about Dr. Grigoryants please don’t hesitate he is seriously the best.!

Cast removal day!
Lovexo25December 21, 2019
Post op day 5. It’s been a total of 6 days since surgery, the long awaited day- cast removal!
I was super nervous to see what my nose looked liked, but to be honest I was so freaking ready to have everything removed off my face.
Went back to his office and he removed the cast and splints. It was super quick, no pain whatsoever.
As soon as he took the cast off I felt a huge relief. I could finally breathe again and move my face more freely. Before he showed me my nose he took me it looked really cute.
Then he showed me my nose and omg I fell in love. Literally is the exact thing I wanted and it’s a cute button nose. I am beyond thrilled with the results you guys. I’m still very very swollen and I think my swelling/bruising overall was on the more worse side.
Here are some pictures right after I left!

Thanks love! How are you doing? Still trying to find the energy to get out of bed and be active around the house. My whole face is still really swollen too :( hopefully I'll be okay by week 2.

I'm okay - so ready to rip this thing out of my nose! I know I walked from the couch to the kitchen table and thought "wow, I'm getting wild this is a lot of movement" lol idk how to make the swelling (and bruising for me) any better. I'm just sticking with icing and trying pineapple juice. I feel like it'll just be time.
December 22, 2019
That was me before I had my cat removed too lol. I can tell you that it will get a little better once the cast is removed! Patience is really key in this situation. Excited for you to have your cast removed tomorrow :)

What are must-have supplies to buy before rhinoplasty? The only surgery I've had was a tooth extraction with general anesthesia and I remember having to ice my face for the swelling. I've heard it's worse with rhinoplasty.

The swelling with rhinoplasty is on another level lol. Make sure you have ice packs, pain meds, antibiotics, and anti nausea medication ( all of which your doctor prescribes), Vaseline, q-tips, saline spray, baby food/smoothies/pudding/jello/soups as you are unable to chew for the first few days, no straws-spoons only, a neck pillow, make sure you buy arnica and pineapple juice as it helps with the swelling and bruising and start taking it ONE WEEK before the surgery. Also make sure to have chap stick for dry lips, hard candy for the dry mouth, and cough drops/ throat lozenges for the really bad sore throat you get after.
