Awesome results man. Congratulations. And the best part is, it's only going to get better as the swelling goes down. How long did it take you to get into normal routine?

Thanks! I wasn't allowed to do "strenuous" activity for at least a month. So no gym, that kind of thing. I had to wait until that long blow my nose as well so no clots came loose. Overall I'm very happy with it and can't wait to see what it looks like after it's done being swollen.

Congratulations on the surgery! I just had a question about you and your thoughts. I am a 16 year old guy who is very self conscious about his nose. If it is alright to ask how long were you bothered by your nose. were you bothered by it as a teen, and large noses run in my family too, but so does the crooked nose gene. And to tell you it looks great now (your nose) and there really was a awesome change in shape and size!

Thank you! I was bothered by my nose since I was a high school freshman. I wish I would have done it in high school, had my parents been more open to it. However, I don't think the male nasal structure is done growing at age 16. Would want to verify that with a surgeon. However, if it really bothers you, I would do it sooner than later. I definitely would have been more outgoing in high school then.
