5 Days After Cast Removal

Well the cast came off and I think the swelling is going down a bit! I've had a really smooth recovery which has been awesome. I think (hope) my tip is still a bit swollen. I saw a bunch of friends yesterday and no one even noticed at all. I didn't even catch anyone looking at me and wondering what the difference was. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. I am so happy with my result, but sometimes I wonder if I should have asked him to decrease the projection a little more. Not sure. No matter what though, it's over and I'm never doing anything like this again! I am very glad that I made this one change to improve my quality of life, but that's all for me folks!

You look incredible! I wish I had at least consulted him for my primary. Congratulations! Beautiful without compromising the structure.

PS- friends not noticing= good thing! That means that it looks natural! A good rhinoplasty just looks "right" on someone. So when people see it, they are looking at something that makes sense... so their first thought isn't "she had work done..." because it just makes sense to their eye. It is aesthetically pleasing and does not stand out.... a bad nose job would! You want to still be recognizable. You got the perfect result for you!

I completely agree with Can'tBreathe2013, your results look really natural and appropriate for your face. Have your friends noticed at this point? I'm worried about judgement or others noticing that i've had work done. Would love your opinion!

Yes! I agree! U look amazing!! I'm getting mine done with Dr. Most, this coming December. I'm very scared but excited at the same time! This will be a revision so that's why I'm more nervous about this. My initial rhinoplasty (not by Dr.most) turned out to be a mess and I'm hoping he can fix it. Maybe I'll have the courage to post some pics...

I do have a little bruising and swelling today in the corners of my eyes closest to the cast... not too terrible though! Sleeping was a little easier last night.

Glad that you aren't bruising too much!! My doc said that the first three days are the most important for icing the eyes.

Day after Surgery

Coral24March 6, 2014
Well I'm feeling weirdly ok right now. No swelling or bruising on my face - is that normal? Should I still be icing like a maniac? Does swelling/bruising tend to show up the 3rd and 4th days? I am allergic to bacitracin so I've just been putting vaseline on my incision. I'm nervous it might get infected but I really don't want a face rash from antiseptic ointment. So far I've been watching a lot of TV and relaxing. Last night was tough - I don't have packing in but my nose is clogged so that means mouth breathing. But whatever, I'm ok with a little discomfort. I can kind of see the shape which is exciting! And my tip is a little raised which is what I wanted. I've been preempting the pain by taking norco every 4-6 hours, but this pain is not nearly as bad as I would have expected. I'm wondering if I should switch to tylenol tomorrow.
