Loving my New Profile - Raleigh, NC

All my concerns & worries I had are pretty much gone at this point. I finally have my smile completely back & feel like I look like myself again from the front, just more of a softer look. It seems like all the swelling is gone but I know that can't be possible, whatever is left is a small percentage for sure. Doctor said by 6 months I will definitely be seeing my final results, I think a lot in part to the fact I had no tip work and didn't have open rhinoplasty. I am very happy & not regretting the surgery at all now. Patience is key! I really really recommend taking B vitamins (nerve regeneration) turmeric, arnica, & systemic enzymes (eats away at scar tissue & anti-inflammatory). I also did acupuncture to help with lymphatic drainage and for facial nerve restoration and it's definitely made a difference with less numbness & my smile not being stiff anymore. I put a before surgery frontal picture and comparison of after surgery frontal. (I didn't want front to change, just profile).

Just want to encourage those worried about swelling and how much can change from 2 weeks to a little over a month. Same lighting and place in my bathroom. I took my 5 week photo this morning. Excuse my no makeup & clip up hair. Every day I'm more encouraged the swelling will continue to improve but there are still some days it fluctuates depending on salt intake, & hydration that I've noticed. My swelling is worse at night and as soon as I wake, but after I'm up for an hour it goes down. Right now my left side has more swelling than the right and is more numb. That is the side he went in and did more work, that is to be expected though.
