Septo-rhinoplasty to deal with breathing issues

So it has been almost 2 and a half months since surgery, and I flip flop between loving it and thinking its too swollen haha. From other videos and posts I have seen that seems to be normal - the panic of thinking you need a revision when barely any time has passed! Objectively, I can say it looks great. But some days I definitely panic or think it looks bad, but I know thats more so my own intrusive thoughts. The swelling has gone down a bit, and my breathing is SOOO much better! It is not 100% yet, but my surgeon had told me previously it can take a few months- especially since he did a lot of work relating to my deviated septum and sinuses. I still sleep slightly elevated, and am super careful to not touch or hit my nose. Wearing makeup on my nose still feels a bit funny through application, as it still feels numb and kind of foreign. I am just gentle with it. It definitely has boosted my confidence overall and I am really happy with my decision of getting this procedure. I am seeing my surgeon next week for a follow up, and I will post an update at my official 3 month mark :)

I saw my surgeon for my 1 month update, he was impressed with my progress and swelling. He said my tip is still quite swollen but will get better over time. Breathing is better as well! The stitches that hadn't dissolved, when I saw my surgeon today he removed the last piece of stitch so now I can fully see how well my nose has healed at the incision point. I will be seeing him in another month and will post an update in a few more weeks!

So I am now 3 weeks (and one day lol) post-op, and am happy so far with the look of my nose. Some days I definitely over analyze and critique it but that is just in my nature, which I try to distract myself with other things and to just know I am healing and trust the process. My nose is still very numb, and I notice fluctuations in breathing capacity and swelling throughout the day. I still can't fully breathe through my nose but at some points during the day I can somewhat breathe, which is encouraging. My stitches at the bottom of my nose still haven't fully dissolved which I think is normal? I contacted my surgeon and sent pictures to make sure, so when I get a response I will also post that in my next update.
I definitely am more confident with my side profile and my confidence has been boosted. Although it has been a rough recovery I definitely do not regret my decision.
Any questions anyone has feel free to ask :)
