rhinoplasty w Dr. G: Let's do this!

A little over a month and I'm really happy with my progress. Patience is key. Of course there are days when my swelling bothers me, but healing is a long process and I'd rather focus on the positive instead of obsessing in the mirror. I have my days though! The swelling in my tip is what I notice most and sometimes it makes my nostrils slightly uneven. My worst fear is having permanent piggy/coin slot shaped nostrils but again...patience ha. I came down with the flu and got a little lax with my ice/tape/massage routine- my nose blew up like a balloon! The ice and massage really do make a difference so I'm sticking with it for now.

Too early to really tell, but I woke up feeling pretty good about my profile and tip so obv 1 or 2 photos were in order lol. Most of these are with little to no makeup so don't judge me too harshly. I did play around with some color correction on my black eyes because I had to run a few errands. They just don't want to be hidden! Definitely got some concerned looks and a few double takes. If anyone asks, I think I'll just say I fell snowboarding.

No more cast! Yaaas!
My tip is crazy swollen but hopefully that will start to diminish soon. The tape has really been helping and I've been doing some gentle massaging to the bridge and tip.
Here are some pics from the past few days. I put on some makeup to see how the bruising looked, and if it was possible to camouflage it a bit but it looks pretty cakey. My skin got pretty irritated from the tape and there are a bunch of really dry patches. I'm dying to exfoliate but I'm still pretty tender.
OMG so many scabs and stitches. It felt like heaven to clean the inside of my nose!! I used the saline spray which felt amazing, but my afterwards everything was soooo dry. I started taking a q-tip and dabbing a bit of neosporin or vaseline up there but you know what feels the best? Coconut oil- I love the stuff! I feel like it's been the best at dissolving the rest of the stitches and keeping things soft.
Sorry if my pics are silly, been a bit stir crazy lol.
