Just a brief update. My nose is still stuffy and I have a head cold which is making it a bit worse. My nose is STILL peeling like crazy! And I have blackheads galore! But enough complaining! I love how it looks :) there's barely any swelling now and the scar is hardly visible. My mum did not even notice that it was there!
:) worth it!

I can't even remember how my old nose looked now! I do wish I could blow my nose though. There's a constant feeling of stuffiness and a 'heavy' feeling on my nose. I'm struggling to get to work in the mornings as I have to drive into the glare of the sun but otherwise I'm doing fine! There's some tenderness around the incisions near the bridge still and I can feel the swelling is still hard there.
I was so nervous when the splints were taken out! The first one hurt so badly as it was stuck in there, but then the second one did not hurt at all! To anyone who is recovering or about to have this done, make sure you use your prescribed nose spray regularly as it will help keep the splints clean and free to take out.
I have not posted in a while as I am back at work and super busy!
All in all I would say that this has been a positive experience for me.
Psychologically I am still self conscious about my nose but I think this is just habit and will pass with time. I can't believe I waited so long to do this for myself!

looks amazing!! so glad you can move forward now!!! It really helps to get rhino; i never think about my nose anymore. Sometimes, i do catch myself trying to hold my head a certain way before i remember that my nose doesn't look like "that" anymore! :) :) congrats and enjoy!

I totally understand what you mean by that now... I still try to look a certain way in photos and when I'm talking to people now. Such a strange habit to break!

Thank you. I wish I had the courage to do this for myself years ago!
My surgeon was Dr Jake Lim. I knew straight away that he was the right surgeon for me. He made me feel very comfortable and answered all of my questions. The first surgeon I had a consult with treated me like I was a [RS bleep] and I came away questioning my decision to have a rhinoplasty at all! I would highly recommend Dr Lim :)
