Did you experience anything like this before your surgery?
I never dealt with anything quite like this prior to the operation... though my doctor mentioned that I should take some calcium moving forward to help stabilize my blood pressure 😕 so everything stays balanced and there won't be any issues. 🙂
Has anyone here ever traveled by airplane right after having surgery?
I recently went on a trip, and during takeoff—and honestly, for a good chunk of the flight too—it felt like my nose was actually going to explode. It didn't last the entire duration, but I was in quite a bit of pain for at least thirty minutes. 😲
On top of that, it still feels pretty swollen. 😢

And here I was, really hoping it would turn out all bumpy and textured like that!😢
Quick question for everyone: how long did it take for that little bump on the tip of your nose to finally settle down?
For me, right after my surgery, everything felt so sweet and perfect, but now that the swelling is shifting, it looks like the tip has sort of "drooped," and honestly, it feels way too large. 😢
I had my procedure back in March, and I’m just not happy with how the tip still looks today. The upper bone area—if you know what I mean—is still a bit swollen, but that doesn't bother me nearly as much as this tip. I really wish I could shrink it down and get it to lift back up to how it looked immediately after the operation. It’s such a frustrating tip. 😠
