I have wanted a nose job since I was in junior high, but always thought of it like a dream that would never come true. As I grew older this dream became attainable, but then I was so scared to go through with it. I found 100 reasons why a nose job was not a good idea, but finally decided that I only needed 1 reason to go through with it... my self esteem. I stopped worrying (well mostly lol), and after extensive research went to Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants. I am currently 1 week post op and feeling so happy! I love my new nose, even though it is super swollen. I'm so happy I finally did it.

Yes. Did you tape your nose? If so, for how long?

I'm 13 days post op and go back to work tomorrow. I'm so glad I took 2 weeks off of work because I am just now feeling confident enough to go out in public. My nose still throbs and is uncomfortable, but not too bad. Even mopping my floor makes it throb. My nose is swollen and seems to lose definition as the day goes on. It looks best when I first wake up. I am still sleeping in my recliner. That being said, I am so happy I went through with this and love my swollen nose! I feel it looks better than it was, even with the swelling, and am looking forward to it getting better.

You're in good hands. I took Arnica and bromelain staring a week before surgery and for two weeks after. I drank lots of pineapple juice too. I didn't bruise or dwell much at all. Let me know how it goes!

I've also noticed that my nose looks more refined in the morning then starts to fill out a bit as the day goes on. Your nose is looking great though!

I did for the first month after surgery. They gave me one roll and I used it all up. Maybe I should get more and continue taping?

Not sure. I just hit 1 month and don't know if I should continue. I've red it doesn't help after the first 2 or 3 weeks and my doctor said just 1 week. I may try stopping and see if it swells more.
