hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... oh my god, you should see my face right now. I'm so bloated, I look like a total pig 🙂 hahahahahahahaha, can't wait for this swelling to go down 🙂😍

wanderingangler8 said:Well, I can say mine was pretty long, and it used to be totally flat. Now, they've shaped it nicely and lifted it up. What about you? What did they do for yours?

Mine wasn't even that long, but it had this bump. So I told them to straighten it out and take a little off the size... I guess we'll see how it looks tomorrow.🙂

wanderingangler8 said:I don't know, maybe about 5 days. They already had it lowered by the time they removed the mold 😍
I'm just hoping it doesn't drop any further. It feels great as it is right now 😁

hehe 🙂 they're taking out my mold and tampons tomorrow 🙂 which is awesome. 🙂 I'm actually pretty curious to see how everything looks from underneath 🙂 Was it really that big that you decided to go through with the surgery?

wanderingangler8 said:I went with the specialist I saw for my consultation. Everything seemed fine during our initial meeting, so I decided to move forward with him.😉
It’s tough to pick a surgeon. There are always going to be both success stories and horror stories, I guess. At the end of the day, it's your own nose, so you have to make the call yourself. I just hope I don't regret it.

I was weighing my options between two choices. I just hope I don't end up regretting it. 🙂 Heh. I can't wait for tomorrow. 🙂 Just one more night and I’m finally stripping it all down. Finally. 🙂 How many days were you Miss Piggyyyyy? 🙂

wanderingangler8 said:I didn't have any pain either. I didn't take a single pill after my surgery. I will say, though, that I was pretty swollen. Not super bruised, but my head felt like a balloon. 😍The doctor told me that once they remove the molds, there might be some additional swelling, so we'll see. He thinks things should settle down in about a week.

Honestly, I really hope the swelling stops now... 🙂 I just hope this is it. That everything starts going down from here. 🙂 haha, which surgeon did you go with?

wanderingangler8 said:Yeah, my dad even told me, "Look how high your nose is sitting right now."😍
It’s been a week for me and the tip has already dropped. Honestly, everyone is surprised by how natural it looks.
Don't sweat it. There's nothing you can do about certain things at this stage anyway, and Monday will be here before you know it.
I'm crossing my fingers that you're happy with the result and that we don't see any lumps or bumps.👍

🙂Well, thanks. I'm really hoping I don't end up with any bumps either. I've been reading through the forums and a ton of people mention getting lumps. That's what scares me. But I am actually shocked that nothing hurts—not my head, not my nose, not even my teeth. Nothing. Except for that annoying breathing issue that's bugging me. Are you still swollen? Or has it gone down yet?🙂 I had my surgery last Thursday, and yesterday I was practically dark purple. Now I'm sort of yellowish-green.🙂 Very attractive.🙂😉

wanderingangler8 said:They took my swab on the second day. Honestly, I didn't feel any pain at all. It was a little uncomfortable, I guess, but my pain tolerance is pretty low, so don't overthink it. It really just depends on the person.😉

It’s only been four days for me. But then again, that's when the tampon comes out and the mold is removed. I guess... tell me, does everyone else say they look like a pig once the tampon is out? 😢 Was it like that for you too?

Laura Castillo7 said:For me, pulling out the tampon was actually worse. My teeth and my head were aching—just this intense, awful pressure. But I guess relief never lasts long. The mold isn't that bad, really. The only thing is how much the skin stings because they use petroleum jelly to help the adhesive stick, but you just apply something else right after you peel it off and the stinging stops. Overall, it’s a massive relief after seven days, except for my nose.

Ugh, jeez. 😢 That sounds absolutely horrific. 😢 I'm basically counting down the hours until Monday; all of this is just so irritating and getting on my nerves. It's awful.

wanderingangler8 said:Look, I just got my molds back, and honestly? My nose looks incredible.
I have a follow-up appointment in a month, so we'll see what the deal is with those lumps. I'm a little worried, honestly, since this kind of thing happens quite often.
I don't know, why didn't they bother applying any ointment to my nose? Everyone else keeps bringing it up, but they just skipped it. I guess.

Did you just take out the mold and the swab? Or did you pull the swab out earlier? I’m scheduled to get mine removed this Monday, and honestly, I can’t wait because this whole situation is a nightmare. Did it actually hurt? I’m pretty much terrified of anything feeling like a lump. 😢

Amanda Ramirez42 said:Who did your nose job? Are you happy with the doctor?

I went through a specialist in Miami, and I'm really satisfied. Everyone there is incredibly pleasant—the nurses are just amazing. I actually spent the night at the facility, and honestly, I'm very pleased with the doctor so far 🙂 I'm taking the swabs and bandages off on Monday. I think this whole breathing through my mouth situation might drive me crazy before then. 😢

I figure I'll jump in here too. I've been lurking on these forums for about a week now, reading through everyone's experiences and whatnot. I actually had my nose surgery yesterday. It doesn't really hurt, per se; it's just this breathing issue through my nose that's driving me crazy. Plus, the bruising around my eyes is... well, 😢 I'm hoping things improve soon 😢. I'm heading in on Monday to get everything removed, and honestly, I can't wait. Does anyone know if getting the packing pulled out hurts? 🙂
