4 weeks post-op
Happy new year everyone!
Today it has been 4 weeks since my surgery. Everything is healing well.
My swelling had not changed much since my last update, my nose still feels very stiff and swollen. I hope there will be a much slimmer refined nose under there, it's a little wide for my liking right now. My left and right sides look different because of the crookedness but as the swelling goes down it is looking much better, I think it is something that most people will not notice. Overall, my nose is no where near perfect but there has been a huge improvement in its appearance which I am happy about and hope it will continue to improve over the next year.
My chin looks great, I think all the swelling is gone now as it has not changed since the second week. I really like that it still feels like me and that it is not a very drastic change. It brought balance to my face very nicely.
I see my Dr at the two month mark to start cortisone injection, I hope this will help reduce the swelling quicker. I will post an update right before I see him and after to document the effect of the injections.

Hello Ladies,
Thank you all for your encouragement and lovely comments. Your support through this means a lot to me. I was invited to a party this weekend that I wasn't sure I wanted to go to just because I didn't know if my swelling has gone down enough, my mom told me that I looked fine and that I should.
I just had my hair done three weeks ago and made a drastic change going much shorter and much blonder, I thought that would be a great diversion so ppl cannot notice what changed. It worked as everyone said I looked so different but they couldn't pin point anything other than the hair :D
My swelling has gone down a lot more these past tow days and my nose is starting to look more natural and less crooked, for the first time in a very long time I am starting to like it. I know that this doesn't mean it will be perfect but it is a million times better than the nose I had. I think my Dr did a great job with what he had.
My chin shrunk a little more and it is looking really nice, it is still a little crooked but it is exactly as crooked as my natural chin was now so it doesn't bother me and it is very unnoticeable. I think my dr did a very good job with my chin as it already feels like a part of my face, the stiffness is gone and aside from the scar (which is not looking good at this point, working on it) I think it looks awesome. it has made my face look better from all angles and because I had a naturally tiny chin from the front it, my chin shape did not change or become more boxy which I am very happy about.
My mom took a few pictures of me and for the first time ever I didn't have to delete more than half the pictures because my nose looked horrible. It did look swollen in dome pictures but I know that is just temporary.
I woke up today and looked at my oily face in the mirror and thought the pain I went through this time was worth it! I just have to be patient and wait until I am one year post up, which is going to be awesome as I get my braces off too and I will have a lovely smile to match my new nose!

Two weeks Today
Hello everyone!
Today marks my two week post op, it is amazing how fast the human body will heal after surgery. The swelling has gone down a little more. My chin implant has improved quite a bit now, it still looks a little crooked from the front but the difference it has made to my appearance is great. I am very happy I did it. It added length and projection to my face, which balanced out my features.
I am still hoping my nose will shrink a lot more and become more refined.
