I'm doing a lot better since my surgery on the 21 of June . Arnica tea is helping a lot with the swelling as I mentioned in my previous post. However, now that the swelling is going down I'm noticing two things . My nostrils are different sizes , it appears now is bigger/more open than the other one . Also, the bone mark between my eye and nose is still there. :/ overall I'm happy with how my nose is getter better each day and I hope these two details fade away with time .

Arnica Tea helps with swelling
FBVJuly 11, 2016
I'm 19 days post op and I'm feeling a lot better and I also think that I look better. The swelling as gone down a little bit more thanks to drinking arnica tea. A friend who had a surgery suggested drinking arnica tea . You can find it at most stores . I drink it everyday morning and night . The tip of my nose is still very sore and hurts when I touch it however it less swollen. The tip has also dropped just a little bit which I'm very happy about . Now that the swelling has gone down by a bit I'm noticing a strange bone mark between my nose and my eye on my left side. Is making my nose a little bit unsymmetrical . Im breathing a lot better too however I'm still retaining a lot of fluids .

Difficult Two weeks post op
FBVJuly 4, 2016
The first week after getting my cast off I was puzzled and a little bit uncomfortable with my new nose. I really wanted to have a wow I love my nose moment but I didn't . I look very different from what I did before . My bridge is very wide and the tip is high( very high actually) At first I was ok but then I wasn't happy . I know is too soon but i hope once the swollen goes down my new nose blends with my face. I'm not depressed however I do feel the details were missed . My family is very supportive but I know its difficult for them too I see me struggle. There are things i do like about my new nose one of them is my profile . I had a high bridge before and now is almost gone making my face very flat which is something I'm uncomfortable with. Also the tip is very high I can see the part of the inside of my nostrils and I'm praying it drops . I look a lot younger now a lot actually . I hope that by the next following weeks the swelling had gotten better and my bridge is most defined and the tip lower .

I think your new nose looks nice and once the swelling goes down, you will be happy. Lucky you that you look younger with the new nose! You say you like your new profile but you seem to be be concerned with your face being flat. Perhaps you still have lots of swelling in your face?

Hi, I'm in the exact same boat as you, 2 weeks post op and my profile is great but from the front I look so different and my tip is very high. We should stay in touch and try to support each other, I have faith that they will go down with time. Can you post any updated pictures? Cheers x

Definitely! I'm posting an update soon . The swelling has gone down thanks to me drinking arnica tea every day sometimes twice a day !

How are you doing a year post op? Have your nostrils evened out as the swelling has dissipated?Â
