Do you actually know if this stuff works—I mean, does it provide any real benefit at all?
Thanks!

I tried writing up a short post earlier, but I got flagged for "advertising." So, here’s a relevant article from another source instead:

With basically any procedure, recovery takes a while—but with cosmetic stuff, it drags out even longer.

If you're getting a nose job, you're looking at at least two months because of the bruising... (assuming there's bone work involved). If it's just a deviated septum, the recovery is usually around two weeks.

I need to get my septum fixed, so I've been asking around.

You'll be stuck in the hospital for 5 to 7 days, and they don't pull the tampons out until about day 10.
I had my surgery for medical reasons, and it was pretty complicated due to a severe deviation—full recovery took me over three months.

Bruising is different for everyone. I didn't deal with much, but two girls in the room next to me at the Mayo Clinic had massive bruises. They weren't painful, just looked terrible.
We all bounced back together. It wasn't nearly as bad as what you read online, and even when it hurts during those first 4 or 5 days, the doctors prescribe painkillers every four hours, so it's manageable.
