Open rhino. 2 weeks post op, LOVE my nose!!

Today was my first day back at work! Everyone commented on my hair but no one said anything about my face. One individual said wow your new hair color really changes your whole look... I laughed quietly to myself hahaha.

I have been back on my skin care routine for a little less than a week I think and today I finally woke up with better skin! The little break outs are going away. This whole experience has really pushed me to take care of my skin and make sure to wear my moisturizer with SPF 30 every single day. My Mom looks at least 15 years younger than she is because she has always taken very good care of her skin. I knew what I should do before but I wasn't consistent. Now I have no option but to make sure to protect my sensitive fragile little nose skin and the rest of my face!

I can't say it enough I LOVE MY NOSE!!!

Wow I can't believe it's been over 2 weeks!! I am so grateful I was able to get 2 full weeks off work. Originally I was only going to have 10 days but I am so happy I got a full 2 weeks because the redness from my incision site is finally much less noticeable when looking at me face on and you can barely tell anymore. I am SO relieved because that was a huge concern for me. I'm sure people will notice I look different but without that visible scar they won't know exactly what it is. It's not that I care all that much that people know I got my nose done but it is because I do not feel like dealing with stupid people and their stupid questions!

I am feeling better and better every day! My only issue right now is my skin is freaking out! I broke out like crazy and the skin on my nose is sooo dry and I can see I need to exfoliate bad. I've been using my regular face products and that includes exfoliating 2 times so far but I cant really scrub my nose just yet so it hasn't worked very well. Oh well.

I went out for drinks already and didn't notice any more swelling in my nose. I am loving it more and more each day. I am SO happy I went through with this. It's so funny because even though I can't stop staring at my nose and taking selfies, when I am out and about I catch myself feeling self conscious again when people can see my profile because I forget I have a beautiful nose now. I'm sure that will go away with time.

I'm finally able to use all my normal skin care products on my nose ever so gently. I try not to touch the tip because it's still numb and it weird me out haha.

I can't stop staring at myself in the mirror. I just LOVE my nose!! My incision is still red and a little scabby. Also my nose still feels sensitive just being on my face. While looking at myself I noticed my tip has a little bigger indent on my right side. I posted a picture you can see it in. I would imagine it's uneven swelling since it's only been 11 days.

I can't wait to see how my nose continues to heal. I do hope the uneveness (yes I just made that a word) goes down and it's more symmetrical but either way it's a huge improvement to what it looked like before!!
