Thanks. 😁I'll give that a shot tomorrow.😁
My surgeon gave me a great nose; he’s an ENT, not some hyped-up celebrity doctor... though I wouldn't mind if the tip were just a tiny bit more refined.
There's a small bump under my eyebrow you can feel, but it isn't visible. It's been about a month and a half now. I'm not obsessing over every microscopic detail because, honestly, after how bad my old nose was, I wasn't expecting perfection—just something better. Surgery is surgery; surgeons are artists, which means they won't hit every single millimeter of what you requested perfectly. That's just impossible.
When I look at what other people get done and compare it to my old nose, it makes sense why people nitpick these little things. But when you start with a truly ugly, crooked nose and end up with something small and straight, you learn to be satisfied with the results.
Not that I mean to sound rude or arrogant, that's just my take on it. 🙂
The only thing I actually care about right now is how to deal with these dark circles under my eyes. They are incredibly prominent after the surgery. Does anyone know if specific compresses help dull them down even a little?
