By day 8 post op I was able to breathe through my nose again. Thank goodness :) The swelling has gone down a bit. I was nervous about returning to work day 6 post op. None of my colleagues have said anything to me about my new look, not sure that they can tell the difference. (that is fine with me! :) )I can tell the difference and so far happy with the result.

Dr. Nayak and his staff are the best! Dr. Nayak made me feel comfortable throughout this entire process. I have no regrets in my decision to have plastic surgery thanks to the skill and expertise of Dr. Nayak. He took the time to personally call me the evening after my surgery to check on me to see how I was doing. I did my research and I am so glad that I found Dr. Nayak. If you are looking to have a procedure done on your face, I highly recommend this plastic surgeon.

You look great!!! The picture of you in the glasses .. is that a post op pic or a pre op? Just was wondering because i have heard you can wear glasses for about three months after. Do you know if this is true? Thanks! :)
Wow. Totally different person post surgery.. Did the doctor tell you how drastic of a change in looks you were undergoing, before the surgery? I have a nose just like yours pre-op, but I don't want THAT much of a change and am actually *AFRAID* that they will take off too much, like yourself. Is this something you specifically asked for? Do you have any very recent pics?

7th day post op...first day back to work. I really wasn't ready to go back to work but I have no vacation time left so staying home longer to heal was not an option for me :) My nose is so stuffy, there are times when I can kind of breathe through my nose for a minute every once in awhile. Majority of the time I cannot breathe through my nose. It sounds like I have a severe sinus infection when I talk because I am so stuffy. I normally wear glasses while I am at work, I had to keep taking my glasses off because it hurt my nose too bad and gave me a headache.

6 days post op: Follow up appointment with Dr. Nayak. My cast came off and I could not be more happier with the result! My nose is pretty swollen, minimal bruising...but I already love it! I can't wait to see the changes as my nose continues to heal. I am so glad I had this procedure done. No regrets. I will keep you posted on how things are going as my nose continues to heal. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this procedure! :)
