Rhinoplasty: Experiences and recovery tips?
in Health ·
It’s been about a week and a half since my surgery.
I barely even felt any pain, honestly...
Today, I actually went ahead and took the bandages off myself—mostly because they were losing their grip from all the ointment I've been applying...
They only worked on correcting my septum—specifically the cartilage—so if anyone has more detailed info on how long the recovery takes, I would be incredibly grateful...
To be clear, nothing was done to the tip of my nose.
A ton of little pimples popped up on my nose, but I should be able to handle that with a shower and some alcohol wipes.😁
The absolute worst part of this whole ordeal was having those silicone splints—the ones used to support the cartilage—removed...
Then today, I realized I've picked up a fungal infection—which, thank God, hasn't spread past my mouth...
A total catastrophe.
The one silver lining is that ten days post-op, I can breathe through my nose perfectly... once I deal with this fungus, I think I'll finally be back on top of things.
