23 Year Old Rhinoplasty - Hump Removal and Lifting Tip - San Francisco, CA

90% of the swelling in my nose is gone. My face is no longer swollen either. Stitches are still in my nose and should fall out on their own soon. I still feel some numbness towards the tip of my nose. So far, I love the way my nose is looking. I see that the profile shape is not as sharp as it was when the cast was removed. It is normal for the tip to drop a tiny bit when settling. Still curious to see how my nose settles in the next few months. The skin on my nose is still peeling a little. I have been cleaning the inside of my nose with Q tips. Finally got most of it clean. I am very happy with my results. I have done a lot of research and feel like not many doctors could have given me the result Dr. E gave me. oh, best of all, NOT 1 SCAR!

I am super excited to see what my nose looks like!!! I hope it's what I want finally. The last week has been pretty uncomfortable. I didn't start sleeping properly until a few days ago. I have been trying to sleep sitting up as much as I could. My nose and skin around it is pretty numb.
After my cast was removed, the first look in the mirror brought the biggest smile to my face. I looked a little different but I was SO impressed by my new nose. I couldn't believe how nice it looked and how it was exactly what I wanted. On the inside, I was jumping with joy. Dr. E did a phenomonal job. My nose was still pretty swollen, so Im excited to see how much it improves over time.

My surgery is scheduled for 7am. For the last few days, the OR nurse and anesthesiologist called me to prep me by telling me what to expect and to make sure I stop eating at a certain time before surgery. Dr. E and the staff were great once again! I remember being in the operating room and being out in seconds. I woke up a few hours later ready to go home. I was much more nauseous and in pain than the first surgery. My nose was bleeding a lot and I was very uncomfortable. I didn't sleep for the next 3 days because I was in so much pain. I took 500 mg Tylenol every 4 hours for about 4-5 days. My face and eyes were not super swollen but they were swollen for about a week. There was 0 bruising.
