I've broken my nose probably twice or more, I was just to shake it off and I'd be fine, no hospital visit necessary! Thus the bump and crookedness, I also have a lot of german in me so my nose was gonna be rather prominent. So middle school started and I had a big, bumped, only somewhat breathable, crooked nose. I've been self-conscious every since the teasing started in the 5th grade. No one really teased me so much in high school, except myself. I've always believed looks aren't as important as personality and confidence, but my low self-esteem kept my from developing either. The surgery was a last resort, but so far I don't regret it one bit. I feel better, because I did this for myself not anyone else, this is the way I'll finally find a way to be comfortable with myself. I now have no excuses to hold me back anymore

SO. SWOLLEN.
so yesterday I got home, I felt great! only minor discomfort and no bruising. So the first night went great.
This morning I woke up and that's when things got worse... My eyes are swollen all around and bruised, my nose is very much in pain and uncomfortable. I'm taking Oxycodon, but it only dulls the pain slightly. I'm icing my face constantly and praying for a better tomorrow!

Hi! I just had mine yesterday morning and I am also dealing with being a little swollen around the eyes I can't wait untill the pain/swelling dies down a bit, I don't mind the bruises much. Glad to know your surgery went well!!! :)
July 24, 2014
Same for me! I can't wait till the worst of it is over, apparently the first 4 days are the worst.
July 24, 2014
Wishing you a smooth recovery. I look forward to seeing your new nose!

Looking forward to seeing how your nose turns out! :) I'm getting my broken German nose done next week and regret not doing it right after high school. Did your PS use packaging?
July 24, 2014
Nope no packing, apparently packing causes a lot of infection. I can't wait to see how yours comes out!

The worst days for me were the second and third day. Try to sleep through as much of it as possible! I had to get a refill on my pills. Ice, pills, sleep! Good luck Hon, I'm sure you'll look gorgeous, you already did!

Thank you! I appreciate that, I'm so swollen, I'm on my third so hopefully it only get better from here on

Day 3 STILL. SWOLLEN.
Busing and swelling is only getting worse, hopefully things can only get better soon. I'm using lots of ice, lots of meds, and plenty of sleep.

It sounds like you're doing a good job of taking care of yourself after surgery. Things should get better very soon and I hope you love your results (remember the swelling can last for quite some time after the cast comes off). Please keep us posted!

Thank you! yeah its tough right now, but I think it's gonna get better at some point!
July 25, 2014
Congrats on your surgery! Looking forward to seeing the results. My nose is similar to yours (I'm Italian and German) and was also broken. Good luck in your recovery!

Recovery's been rough, but it's not that long and it'll be worth it! Thank you for the support!
