6 months out

6 months into it and I am convinced that a revision (small tweak) will smooth out this bump on the right side of my nose. I plan on doing that in Jan or Feb. Here are some recent pics.

2 months out

Here are some 2 month pics. Still have a bump on the right side of my nose, but a flat, smooth surface on the left. Also, septum is really deviated. I am meeting with my PS this Friday to discuss a revision-just to shave the small bump on the right. I know, trivial....but a pretty nose is what I asked for....and we're almost there!! Needs a little tweaking. :)

3 right views-day 20 and bump!!

Here are some XL views of the bump which is only one the right side of my nose.

19 days post op and kinda bummed

Hey!! Well, after a week and a half of nasal exercises religiously and icing afterwards, I have a bigger bump on the right side of my nose. :( Saw my PS today and he was disappointed. He felt bad that the bump is there. He told me to maybe do one more week of nasal exercises...after that, it won't make a difference. Also, he'll see me back in 6 weeks and if it's still there and the septum is still deviated, he'll schedule me for a revision-ugghhhh-more brutal surgery.

I love the tip and the he fixed my "saddle deformity" (aka dip) in the middle of my bridge, but I got this big ole bum now. What bothers me is the asymmetry-if I'm gonna have a bump, I'd rather it be on both sides than just one.

Anyhow, any comments, tips, advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Wed, April 30-post op day 12

Well, here's the latest. Swelling has gone down. Still have bruise under left eye-going away slowly, but surely!! Went to my PS yesterday and he has me doing "nasal exercises" which consist of pressing (kinda hard-it hurts!!) on the right side of my nose as there is a small bump in the bone. He says this will smooth it out. 5 min a day, 5 times a day for a few weeks. I can barely see the bump, but can feel it. Overall, I am very pleased!! :) Off to NY to visit my husband's parents for the week! Thanks again to those who took the time to read my blog and offer words of encouragement!! :)

Day 7 First attempt at putting on makeup to spruce up!!

Ran around a little this afternoon-attempted to put on make up-realized it fruitless to try and cover the black eye-looks way cheesy with gobs of makeup on. So I left it alone. :)

Befores and afters (afters being 7 days post op)

Here are some comparisons pictures.
