Rhinoplasty- Recovery thick nose journey

Finally!!! I am starting to love it. Woooof what a mental roller coaster!!! Gotta trust the process is hard… but I’m so glad to start seeing the results. My rosacea was dormant for 4 years and this allergic reaction post surgery activated it so I am using prescribed topicals. Is still a little red because of it but is getting better. Now we are going to start taping and praying that doesn’t cause me trouble with my rosacea.

It’s me mentally hard - I am so swollen, one of my eyes is drooping from the swelling and my face is horrendous. I don’t know if I would have done this surgery if I knew I was going to look like a monster for who knows how long because I have thick skin… I’m trying to stay positive… one day at the time. My doctors office call me to reassure me that it will only down. Is still hard to look myself at the mirror. Is an ugly hard phase of recovery. I have to go out in public like this.

Well I don’t see this going down. I did went to the dermatologist and they got me a cream to help with the acne is developing. When is this going to come down. Also I have some swelling of my eyelid ( lazy eye)…. I don’t know if I would have done this surgery if I understood how uncomfortable the healing phase is. I see many people at this point already with beautiful noses , swelling down and me - not so much. I truly hope the outcome is as expected….
