Just a quick blog

Heya,
i forgot to update about my checkup appointment, i went in to the checkup room and he had a look and told me there is still a little more change  to happen in my tip, it should pinch in a tiny bit, but the swelling will go down.
He was very happy with my nose, it is just how he wanted it, and i am very happy with it.
The nurse took a few pictures, and i am to have another checkup in 3 months time :)
So he told me i can basically do everything as normal, and dont worry about my nose at all.
I had my first shift at work today, people noticed a  difference but they were all positive about it, they said it looks great :)
Not one negative comment ive had, and serving customers every second on checkout didnt  make me feel as conscience as i was before, now i dont care if they look at me haha.
Anyway i'll report back when something exciting happens :)

2 weeks post op

Well it has been  two weeks since my surgery, and i am so happy with my results. My nose is still numb at the tip and heavy at times along the bridge, but half the time  i forget i've had it done and thankfully i havn't bumped it.....yet anyway.
I have started to get into my regular exercise routine, but not lifting as heavy weights and still going a bit lighter. I can sleep fine and i can do everything as per normal.
Here is a few pictures of how i am looking. I still cant believe its still swollen, i cant even tell it is, and its just going to get better and better.
I also have a checkup with my doctor on Monday to see how my healing is going.

Day 9

healing process is going very well! I am so happy with how it looks at the moment, even though the swelling still has to go down alot. Anyway here is a picture with makeup on finally haha.

Day 7

Today has been exactly a week and the results are amazing! I got my stitches out today, it hurt a bit but it was quick. My nose is still very numb and sensitive, so i have to be very careful not to knock it. I can sleep fine and eat good, and i went to the shops for the first time, it was wiered coz i still had my scar under my nose but people didnt even look twice at me, i felt normal haha.
Anyway this is what i look like so far :)

Day 6

Best sleep so far, actually woke up with no headache, and finished taking my antibiotics. I am able to eat as normal and haven't taken anything for pain as there is none what so ever. Here is a few shots of my nose a the moment.

Day 5

My sleep last night was probably the most comfortable i have had yet. I think mainly due to me being able to breath and not having a cast on my nose which made my sleep more comfortable. I woke up with a dull headache but i took panadol and it was gone.

Nothing much has changed, just getting  used to it now i guess, here is a pic i took this morning. Noticeable swelling but i am still happy with it so far.

 

Day 4

Last night was probably the worst night so far, mainly due to my upset stomach and headache. Again my nose has no pain at all, and it is starting to wake up a bit because i can feel slight tingles and itching underneath the bandages.
Well i couldnt really sleep, felt like i was going to faint and i took some panadol and tried to sleep it off.
It came to morning and my eyes were sore from lack of sleep, it felt as if i was bruised but when  i looked in the mirror there was no bruising at all, just little swelling. I was amazed i havnt bruised, especially on day 4 which is suppose to be the most bruising expected. Ive eaten breakfast, took my antibiotics and at 330 today i have my first post op appointment with my Dr. Hopefully he can tell me when i can take off the cast and get rid of all the dry blood.



Well i went into the hospital, and went to my Dr's office and he walked in and said it went all great, then he accually took off the cast on my nose and removed all of the dry blood! He kept the stitches in because they were not fully healed up yet, i get them removed on friday.
He handed me a small mirror and i was so amazed, i was sshocked i didnt know what to think. of course i loved it! It was so over whelming to see no bump in my nose, and the tip was much reduced and my nostrils were smaller. I couldnt believe after just 4 days my nose turned out the way it did. It is really swollen but i can tell already it is amazing. My Dr did a terrific job, i couldnt ask for anything better. He took a few photos and told me i will have follow up appointments in 2 weeks then 4 and so on..
The nurse came in after to tape up my nose with skin colour tape just to help the swelling. Then she will take out my stitches on friday.

So i came home and wouldnt stop looking at myself in the mirror, i still couldnt believe how i looked! So here are before and after pictures.

before and after (i have skin coloured tape on my nose btw)

only after 4 days!
