2 months, tip dropping
user4444444July 30, 2013
It's funny. My very first post was about how worried I was with my upturned nose .. And now at 2 months the tip of my nose has dropped so much that I'm afraid it may just go back to looking like my old nose. What irony! The following are close up shots of me doing different facial expressions, showing how the dropping of my tip and the outward projection of my hump makes my nose look very long

Pimples and oily skin (7 weeks)
user4444444July 17, 2013
So I know I'm not the only one who has this problem with tiny pimples popping up all over my nose. (In Trinidad we call them "heats" because they appear in the sun). However, I do feel like its a bit late for me for be having this problem, I'm now about 7 weeks post op and everywhere I've read has said that this breakout is caused by taping trapping the oil and stuff.
With my little medical knowledge, I'm thinking that there's a lack of drainage that's causing the little buggers to appear on my nose. What I can't explain is why my nose is SO OILY all the time. I always had an oily nose, but this time it's taken to a different level, and it's DEFINITELY after the surgery.
If someone can enlighten me that'll really help. No medication has worked thus far (your daily soaps and salicylate)

Helllo, I just got my surgery done on tuesday. Today is my 5th day post op and my nose looks way to upward I am so scared i'm going to look like a pig for the rest of my life. When did your tip start to fall?? I mean yeah my nose was droopy but I didn't want a piggy nose either it's like a 135 degrees now. I am way too worried, I am feeling really down and starting to regret.. Everyone use to tell me I am a pretty girl and all and now I don't look like myself anymore. Nose jobs are supposed to boost your confident not depress the hell out of you :( oh and also did people notice your nose job? Im going back to my university in about a month and I'm so scared people are going to notice although I told my surgeon that I wanted a natural final look. I would love a honest answer from a girl who I feel like is living the same nightmare as me.

Hey Zerry, it's difficult to say when EXACTLY the nose dropped because it was so microscopically gradual that one day I just noticed it looking lower, that was about 3 weeks after the surgery. What has happened is that your nose tip is swollen, and pushed up by the swelling. Try to do things to ease the swelling, whatever your DOCTOR recommends, some people use ice or sleep in an elevated position. Don't be depressed about your nose, by the time you go back to university it'll go back to looking normal. I'm about 2 months post op right now and nobody even notices I had something done. Don't worry, it'll be fine.
And that is my HONEST answer, as you asked.
