WORTH IT$10,000
The first 2 weeks I felt like the nose is a bit to short for my face, but I think I'm getting used to it more and more every day. However, can't help but be overly aware of the nose, probably because it's still very stiff and sore, which makes me feel the nose there all the time. I feel the pressure inside even more when I talk or try to smile. Smiling is very awkward, upper lip doesn't move, so I'm just trying to stay patient ! Definitely miss laughing and smiling big ))))
Overall I'm happy with results.

Getting used to the nose
Here's some updated photos, this is 16-17 days post. The nose still feels numb/ hard which makes me overly aware of it. Also I still can't smile big and naturally, since upper lip doesn't move up that much. So I really can't wait for the numbness to go down.
I'm happy with the profile, but still getting used to looking at myself.

Hey! Do you feel like your upper lip doesn't move up or curve as much?
I read that a lot of people feel this way the first few weeks after surgery, I guess it just takes a lot of time and patience for your muscles to get back to normal. Also, do you feel this pressure/soreness in your nose?

The balloon is out
The balloon stuffing was removed from my nostril 2 days ago and everything went fine, no re bleeding, my doctor took care of me and had me hang out in the office for an hour just to make sure. I was feeling good after and the next day as well, so I felt safe to drive back home yesterday (which is a bit of a long drive). It's day 3 after stuffing removal and day 16 after the surgery. I feel great and my nose is less swollen. Will post photos later.
