Before photos/1day post op.

Hi everyone! I am now 1 day post op from my rhinoplasty with Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants. I am sharing some before photos and some maybe graphic photos so *warning*! So far it was a successful surgery. It was a smooth process. The doctor and nurses were amazing and sweet. No pain at all today! I only took one pain pill before bed last night just as a preventative measure, but not because I needed it. Staying on top of icing so bruising doesn't get worse. Bruising seems to be steady. Breathing out of my mouth is also not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I'll continue to keep you guys updated with anything else. If you have questions let me know! :)

I got my cast removed today and I’m SO happy with results ???? Even though my nose and entire face (mostly my cheeks) are swollen, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It’s perfect and exactly what I wanted and more. I still can’t breathe out of my nose as expected. My goodness though...when they said getting the stitches removed from the outside of my nostrils hurt - they meant it. The most painful thing I’ve experienced in a long time. It’s been the only hard part about the whole experience. Mine hurt extra because I had dried blood near my stitches! So make sure to clean your nose well. Anyways! I’ll continue to post as time goes by. :)

Bruising on my face is totally gone finally!! My breathing is slowly improving. I’m still stuffy some days. I can blow my nose to help clear it out now. I don’t use a tissue to blow - I just blow and wipe after because I don’t want to touch my nose and apply pressure to the outside. I’m still trying to sleep inclined and not let my nose touch the pillow. If I lay on my side I notice more swelling in the morning which goes away by the afternoon. I’m also still taping at nights. So obsessed with my nose though. The front of my nose looks a little big which is normal though from all the swelling. Such a patience tester! But so worth it.
