WORTH IT$3,000
i decided to get a rhinoplasty after i broke my nose when i fell down the stairs as a child, ever since my nose got a HUGE bump i also wore glasses and made the bump more visible and painful, after i turned 18 i finally got my nose job. the procedure was fast and not painful at all the recovery wasnt painful either but it was a little bit uncomfortable at first. i had a closed rhinoplasty to remove the bump i didnt get a cast or anything but i did get tapes which they took off after 4 days of having them on after that my nose began to swell up drastically and it seems that the bump was never removed but my doctor says is swelling and that the healing process take a long time so patience is requiered when getting a Rhinoplasty. its been 3 months and 2 weeks since my operation and so far this is what my nose looks like..

tapes are your bestfriend (in some cases)
i began to use tapes at night before i go to sleep, not just regular tape but tape designed for the skin. the reason i use these tapes is because when you sleep is when your face swells up the most and the tapes helps the swelling stay down if that is one of your main concerns

Thanks for sharing. I am a bit confused about the first picture containing two images. Is the one to the right post op or before the surgery?
