It’s likely nothing happened. I'll just keep an eye on things and see if any asymmetries pop up over time.😢

I took a little accidental hit to the nose yesterday. Since I already have a deviated septum and a broken bone there, I’m a bit worried something might have shifted. It’s really tender on the left side right where the impact happened, even though it was a pretty minor bump.😢😢 I'll give my doctor a call on Monday... It’s been about 19 days since my surgery, and honestly, it feels almost impossible to avoid any kind of contact with your nose during those first six months.

I’ve only had one drain removed so far, so there isn't a visible difference yet. However, you definitely feel better afterward—it feels like the swelling in your nose isn't as intense. The drains really help speed up the process so the swelling goes down sooner and the tissue can start regenerating properly.

I'm actually heading to a different clinic for my drainage procedure. I know people talk about Nancy Kovacs' place, but their prices are just way too high—it's like $133 $1 per session.

My nose is really swollen right now, so I can't say for sure if I'm happy with how it turned out. As for the technique, I thought they were going to use the open method, but I don't see any visible incision from the outside, so I honestly can't tell. I'll send over all the details via DM.🙂

Hey everyone! I recently had nose surgery with Zambelli. My nose is super swollen and pretty painful right now. Does anyone know where in Washington, D.C. I could get some lymphatic drainage massage to help bring the swelling down? Any recommendations or experiences?🙂
