WORTH IT$6,800
Over a year ago my identical twin underwent the same procedure with this particular doctor. Following the procedure the results were incredible and the transformation was so extremely beautiful. I finally made the decision to have the surgery for myself and considering I'm only one day post-op and the swelling and bruising are just starting to set in i'd say it looks great so far and I cannot wait until the cast is taken off and the swelling begins to subside.

Rhinoplasty: Day 2 Post-op
The swelling and bruising continue to increase. My eyes are nearly swollen shut and although I haven't had any pain the swelling of my face has become increasingly uncomfortable. I continue to take my antibiotic as well as the arnica montana tablets and cream.

You look great! I just had my surgery on Feb 17 and today I finally started to feel ok. I have splints that will be removed tomorrow and my cast comes off on Friday. Day 3 was (inc surgery day) was definitely the worst for me but it keeps getting better. Looking forward to seeing your results!

Do you have any pictures? My surgery was February 19th and today is technically day 3 and my face nearly ballooned compared to yesterday morning. Also who did your surgery?

Hi, I changed my profile name and added some photos to my profile. I think it should be up by tomorrow and I will add some progress pics. I am in Vancouver Canada and went to a rhinoplasty specialist here. He has a year plus long waiting list and they say he is the best in the country so I'm hoping for amazing results! Your swelling sounds like it peaked and might travel down your cheeks before it subsides. We're over the hump!

Rhinoplasty: Day 3 Post-op
So today I don't look so hot. My face had a bit of swelling yesterday morning but towards the end of the day the swelling increased dramatically. I'll show a couple side view images but the front view is so horrendous that i'll have to wait a few days before I decide to post any pics. Overall still I have minimal pain. The profile looks great so far but the frontal view isn't so attractive. My cheeks are extremely puffy, two black eyes (they're so swollen that its impossible for me to completely open or close either eye), lips are bigger (but hey no complaints about that), and the tip of my nose is still pretty swollen (and yes I understand that this is the last place for the swelling to go away). To see more updates you can follow my snapchat amelia.namou i'll continue to post on there more often than here but nonetheless i'll be updating this profile as I see changes.

Did the doctor give you anything for swelling or congestion?? I've been taking Arnica and Bromelain all week to prepare

I've been taking arnica montana (the pellets and the cream), I started taking an antibiotic after surgery, and I'm taking a nasal decongestant.
I fortunately did not have any packing. Regardless i'm having difficulty breathing out of my nose with all of the blood and near constant drainage. I just had my surgery on Friday and I've heard that day 3 is the worse so i suppose this should be getting better very soon.
Sleep has been tough, I've been sleeping propped up on a few pillows with other pillows on my sides but unfortunately I cannot seem to get comfortable. Luckily the pain is minimal and honestly for me the only real discomfort is the swelling.
