Looking back.
So looking at a different set of before pictures, I am getting more pleased with the results so far Although my footplate is still crooked, overall it looks much better. Adding some old before pics here and then the same pics I added last week for comparison.
1 month post op
So it has been a month. Feels much better. Parts of my nose are still very sore. The to is hard as a rock and still very much swollen. The footplate isn't where I wanted it to be which wood ace been centered. It was one of the goals of this surgery.. little bummed about that because I don't think it's going anywhere else at this point. It is still off to the side.
But overall I am happy with the way it's going. I still feel like I look like me. Many people haven't noticed. Which was what I wanted. And know with the swelling going down gradually. It's great that it won't be an overnight change that would be noticeable. I really like the way it looks from the front view. Hoping gain overtime that the side view will improve and the tip and swollen look will go away.

Being patient
It's been 2 1/2 weeks since surgery. I am feeling much better and all the bruising is gone. Where my stitches were has healed so nicely you can't tell at all they were there. My nose is super dry, especially in the morning, but I am breathing quite well through it. It still really swollen and squishy. I tried wearing sunglasses yesterday and they left huge dents in my nose. So I know there is still a lot of swelling to wait on. At this point, I am happy I did the surgery. I am not sure I like exactly what I see at the moment. But I am going to be patient and give it a while. I am hoping the lower half of my nose gets a bit smaller and I have less roundness throughout. It still looks a little hooked to me and I really don't like that. But it is better than it was before. I really like the way it looks from the front. I will be patient:)
Provider Review
So far so good. A wonderful rhinoplasty experience so far. I had the surgery yesterday. And I thought I would be in significant pain. But I am feeling really good. No packing, a little drainage and just a little bit of pain that is totally being managed with a few Advil. I am eating and tasting and even breathing out of nose. Even through my little gauze pads. Doctor Barlow is genuinely a super nice person. He is so calm and confident and truly gives you a sense of peace and assurance. I am looking forward to seeing the new me in a couple of weeks.
