Post op Day 9
WORTH IT$9,000
Sorry I've been absent !! Updating with recent Pictures - tried my best to do before and after collages. What an emotional rollercoaster! I got my cast off 5 days ago, and to be honest, I was so upset. NOT because of my new nose, but because of how SWOLLEN I was. (I'm very impatient) It was hard to look past anything but that. I had major swelling in between my eyes and the bridge of my nose. I guess I wasn't expecting that. I knew that I was was going to be swollen, and tried to mentally prepare myself for that, but I let my emotions get the best of me. So for a few days I went into a bit of a depression. It's a matter of time. Each day I've progressively seen the swelling go down, and I'm so happy with the results. I know from here on out, it will only get better !

Feeling great!! Did my hair and put some make-up on.Bruising is almost gone. Swelling too. Majority of my swelling is in my "third eye", and cheeks. Stopped pain meds as there's no need for them anymore. I go later today to get my cast off.

Thank you!! I got my cast off today. I can honestly say I mentally prepared myself for these next few days- I know I won't be happy to all the swelling is gone. Going through a bit of depression because I'm still super swollen. Just have to remind myself this isn't the final look. Time is key

Hey! Sorry I've been MIA. I am now post op day 9, and each day gets better and better. Swelling has come down quite a bit since I got my cast off almost a week ago. Still swollen, but I just have to keep reassuring myself it will go down. How are you feeling about yours??

I'm glad you're feeling better about it! You look great btw. :) I was disappointed at first with how my nose looked from the front but I'm gradually warming up to it and it definitely looks a lot better than it did when the cast came off.

I think swelling is at its worst today. Bruising has gone down. But my entire face including cheeks and lips are swollen. Again no pain. Drinking lots of fluids. Not much of an appetite. Going to get arnica pills, I heard that helps with the swelling. Also I get my cast off tomorrow evening - going to ask my dr about a steroid shot for the swelling. Has anyone had one? And did it help?

I'm surprised you get your cast off tomorrow! That seems so soon. My surgery was a couple of days before your's and I don't get mine taken off until the 5th. :( Your swelling and bruising should start to subside over the next few days. Do you have any bleeding?

I agree, I thought it was a little soon as well. No bleeding at all. A tiny bit after surgery. I've been cleaning it everyday with q-tips, hot water and peroxide. I'm going to try arnica pills, I heard they help with the swelling
