Love it! 15 days post op
WORTH IT$7,000
I'm so happy right now and I'm only 15 days post op. My face swelling has went down and my tip is still very swollen, but it gets smaller each day :)
I'm not breathing out of my nose yet and that's the hardest part of this whole process. Sleeping is better and I think it will be a lot better when I can actually breathe out of my nose! I can't smile showing my teeth yet which sucks because I love to smile especially now :)
Hope everyone is doing great!

8 Days Post Op Immediately After Splint Removal -- TAPE FREE!!! YIPPY
It is so surreal to finally have my nose job after all these years and better yet have my all of the tape and cast off!! I'm thrilled so far with my results and I cannot believe how different I look. I'm very swollen which is to be expected and plus on top of things I have thicker skin so it's gonna be awhile before the swelling goes down. I'm sooo lucky I had minimal bruising and it had to be the arnica montana and vitamin c intake prior to surgery.
I'm not in much pain besides being congested. My nose is still numb feeling and my stitches are still in both nostrils. More annoying than anything.
I'm sooo happy I did this for myself and would do it all again if I had to!
Hope all of you are doing well!!

I definitely understand what you mean about looking different. I look really different too!!! I think when you have a prominent nose like we DID(!!) :) that it is the focus of your looks.. I feel much prettier already, even walking around with my cast I feel prettier!! Lol. I hope it's not vain to say that.. We did have plastic surgery after all, lol.. I get my cast off tomorrow though so hopefully I will continue to like this change in my appearance!

I'm Alive!
All of the restless nights and aches and pains is all worth it! I can already see my results.. I know it's way early because I'm super swollen but my tip is completely different and I love it!! I did a little comparison to show you what I'm talking about..
My beautiful black eye is going away day by day. The only complaint I have at the moment is nasal drip! Uhh it's such a pain it's clear and very liquidy.. Did anyone else experience this?!? My doc said to take sudafed which I am but it's not helping..
I still have yet to sleep a complete night.. max so far is 4 hours. Since I don't have pain anymore I'm not taking my pain meds. I do take the anxiety meds here and there because the tape gets itchy. I'm counting down the hours until I get my splint off my nose which is Tuesday!! I go back to work on Monday and not really looking forward to everyone seeing the massive amount of tape of my face.
Hope everyone else is going good!! xoxo

Kat you look great so far! Yippee! All of Dr. Farrior's patients look absolutely incredible, so you're in for a great week getting the cast off! Tuesday is my 1 month post op, we both have our appointments on the same day! I'll be thinking of you! I'm sorry you've had problems with the pain meds, I had the same issue only later to find out it was the Colace stool softener that was causing the nausea. I'm so glad you have anti-anxiety meds for the tape! Gah! I was a wreck! You're almost there, ONE more day! You can do it! Woo hoo! I cannot wait to read your post tomorrow! You will feel like a newly free woman! I had the drips too btw. They do go away over time! Extra soft tissues and/or q-tips in your purse are your friend :) Hugs, Jemoiselle
