Couldn't be happier with my results - White Plains, NY

1 week post op
Yesterday I went to get the cast off my nose & it was SO WEIRD looking in the mirror for the first time. I looked like myself but still didn't. I absolutely LOVE my new nose though, no more bump & it looks so much nicer from the front. I thought it would take days to get used to but I was used to it already by the end of the day lol. I have to go back next week so he could remove the stitches from my breast aug.
I know I have the same issue everyone else does, but the swelling between my eyes is really really bad. I can't wait for that to go down & the swelling on my nose to continue to go down over the next year. Patience patience patience.
Another big thing - I also had a septoplasty which is a big reason I decided to go through with the rhinoplasty. When I woke up after the surgery he said my septum was really crooked. When he cleaned my nose after taking off the cast I took a deep breath & it felt amazing. I know I will still be a little stuffy over the next few weeks but I could already tell that I am able to breathe so much better.
I still have bruising on my eyes & haven't taken any pics but when I still plan on posting some soon.

I figured it was only right to write a review...
By the way, being that I am getting the surgery right before summer, does anyone know if I have to completely avoid the sun all summer because of my nose? Also, for those who have breast implants, what bra did you have to wear the weeks after surgery? I am going to ask Dr. C but figured I would get an idea from patients here too.

Thanks so much for paying it forward and starting your story on RealSelf! You should ask your surgeon about the sun, but I definitely didn't stay out of the sun after my surgery. I was diligent with a high SPF sunscreen and hat, though.
We'd love to see before and after photos of your nose in this space if you'd feel comfortable posting them (some people blur out their eyes).
Here's a list of supplies you might need for your rhino recovery (lots of cold drinks and lip balm).
Please keep us posted!
P.S. I used to moderate the breast aug community and the pain level each person feels varies. I don't think it's safe to assume that you'll be in a ton of pain. For some women it's more a feeling of tightness and heaviness.
