At 2 weeks I still seem to have a lot of swelling in my tip. It is hard as a rock. Can't wait for this to settle.

Did you feel you needed the tape?

I am thinking of getting the surgery, but I would only have a week to recover. Based on your experience, do you think Its possible to be well by one week without having to have the tape?

I think it really depends on the doctor. My doctor didn't give me an option lol. Originally I wasn't happy about getting my nose taped up but I did a lot of research and a lot of doctors really believe it helps with long term swelling so in hindsight I'm kind of glad he made me do it.

Some doctors don't tape after the initial cast removal. Some doctors only make you keep the hard cast on for 5 days. I would consult with the doctors you are considering and ask them what procedure they follow.

Do you have to go back to work in 1 week after surgery? I think that might be a little soon because I was told to not lift anything over 20 pounds for the first 2 weeks (I have been and every time I feel increased pressure in my nose).

I would say you need at least 2 weeks off. I went out in public today but probably will try and avoid it til one month hits. But I am in between jobs. If I was working I think I would be ok to go back right now at 2 weeks.

Took my little tape cast thing off since it has been 7 days and I'm really pleased with the results. My nose looks so cute and in turn makes my entire face looks cuter! My old nose seemed kinda masculine to me so I am very happy with the improvement. I do have some uneven swelling or maybe my nostrils are still uneven. I did have uneven nostrils before surgery so this doesn't really bother me. Can't wait to see what it looks like at 1 month. Worth every penny.

So beautiful! I'm so glad everything went well! I'm still interested in doing my surgery around December with the same doctor. So we'll see how that goes. I'm very happy to know that you're pleased, I hope the healing continues to go smoothly for you!

Thank you! I am very happy with it. It took some adjusting though. It's definitely weird permanently changing something on your face. The more I heal the happier I am with the results. My husband loves it as well. He said he doesn't notice a huge difference which is what I wanted. I notice a big difference but I didn't want it to be so big that all my friends and family are taken back by it.

Getting a rhinoplasty is an extremely personal decision so I wish you the best and hope everything works out for you hun!

Oh I bet it must have been quite an experience! And I'm very glad your husband is just as pleased. I definitely agree, I wouldn't want an immense difference either.

Thank you very much!
