So I've always wanted to get my nose done. I have been very self conscious about this since I was about 13. I could barely breathe due to a deviated septum, I fractured my nose when I was younger so the middle of the bridge shifted slightly towards the right and I hated the hump on my bridge. I did a ton of research and found Dr. Golden and decided to go for it. He's a great doctor and he is realistic about what he can do and what the outcome will be.

I just found a pic that was taken while ago but it shows what my profile looked liked prior to surgery.

Day After Surgery
mariiiiaaaaaaaaDecember 16, 2014
This is a picture the day after surgery. Its very scary, when I first saw myself I had to vomit, it was soo gross. My entire face was swollen (not just my nose)! I had no idea that my face was going to be this puffy. At this point my face didn't really show all the bruising yet. That all happened gradually during the day and the worst of it was on day 3.
I was told that day 3 is the worst, and it definitely was. I don't have any pictures from this day for that reason. When I woke up on day three my face was bigger than it is in the picture that I posted from day 2. My eyes looked like black golf balls, they were extremely swollen and it was really hard to even open my eyes. The eyelid as well as below my eyes were both bruised. My cheeks were bruised, my forehead was all puffy and big, and overall my face was huge! I kinda looked really fat in the face....

Wow, I am so shocked at your swollen face! I had a primary surgery similar to yours but my face did not look swollen like that at all. I had surgery in the Ann Arbor area. I need to have a revision and after seeing your post-op pics of a seriously swollen face I am seriously reconsidering even going to see Dr. Golden for a consult. I saw another girl who went to Dr. Golden had bags under her eyes after surgery like you as well. My nose was broken to cut a hump and tip alteration but my bruising was minimal and no swelling except for the nose... Does your face hurt? Did he do the surgery in office? Would like to keep up with how you heal...Thanks

Hi Chelsea, I went to golden for a revision and I swelled just like Maria. It all depends on what is done to your nose.i believe its the osteotomies that makes you swell which is narrowing of the nose. Deff consult with golden u won't be disappointed .. Hope this helps

I Just had rhinoplasty on Monday. Thank you for posting your story. I'm also swelling and bruising and it's nice to know I am not alone.

You've definitely got some shiners there, but your nose looks terrific! Please keep us posted as the swelling continues to subside.
