3 wks post op and it seems to get better each day....
WORTH IT$7,550
3 wks post op and it seems to get better each day. I noticed the skin on my nose seems a little different at the moment...more oily (shiny), bigger pores. Was going to call the doctor to see what he suggests. Can I use normal stuff on the scar lines?
I've been noticing a small little black dot at the base of my nostril and after inspecting it last night, I took the tweezers, played around with it and ended up pulling out a small piece of stitch that must've broken off from when my stitches were removed. It was weird seeing it pull out. That was kinda unimportant information. lol

It's been 2 weeks post op. The skin started...
It's been 2 weeks post op. The skin started peeling on my nose a little bit a few days ago. I've been gently exfoliating and moisturizing. I think each day there's an improvement and the best part so far is that I'm starting to be able to breathe through it! I can't do all my normal breathing, but I can get decent air through both nostrils. That's probably my biggest fear right now is that b/c of the nostril narrowing, that my breathing won't be the same. So I guess we'll see. My smile is almost back 100%, there is still a little restricted feeling above my upper lip. But I can actually see my upper teeth now when smiling. lol I will post pics later of my 2wk!!
I already feel like this "thing" has been lifted off of me. The self consciousness that I had with my nose is gone (even with the swelling present). I feel normal now. I wish it didn't have to take a nose job to do that, but it did. It's definitely boosted my confidence. I also am trying to work on the "inside" part of me as well as the "outside", cause I think that's just as important. :)

You look fantastic! It totally fits your face. You must be thrilled. The breathing will come back more and more over time. :)

It's been 9 days since surgery. My face swelling...
It's been 9 days since surgery. My face swelling is gone, but there is still a lot of swelling on the nose itself, which I totally expected and am trying to be patient with. From the front, the nostril flare is reduced, but the bridge is really swollen still. The nostrils aren't perfectly symmetrical, but I wasn't expecting perfection and from what I see so far, I'm happy, I love my new profile. I didn't want a small nose, I wanted a smaller, more refined nose, and I think he did a great job at doing that. I am starting to breathe a little air through it, but it's still a lot of mouth breathing. That's the worst part right now. The recovery so far isn't as bad as I thought, and I only took a few pain pills following the surgery. I thought I would be having headaches and stuff, but I haven't had any. Let me know what you think!
