So, I figured I should probably check in... It’s been three weeks since my surgery, and honestly? I am beyond thrilled with how everything is turning out...🙏
Those of you who have been following along already know this is my second surgery. This time around, they went through with an osteotomy—basically a total break of the lateral bones—plus a full reconstruction of the cartilage...
I really wanted to share some advice with you all. After my first surgery—which was just a simple reshaping procedure—I looked absolutely horrific. Honestly, it was a nightmare... I was covered in bruises and the swelling was just brutal. I clearly hadn't prepared myself at all, and that was my mistake. This time around, I did my homework and made sure I was fully informed before going under, and let me tell you, it made a world of difference. I only had some slight purple circles under my eyes, and everything healed up so much faster...🙂)
What did I even do???...
I was taking zinc tablets and Vitamin C powder every single day, and then for the seven days leading up to my surgery, I added those homeopathic Arnica pellets to the mix... and kept them going for another seven days after the procedure too.
I was applying some LIOTON gel to my bruises, and about 24 hours after the surgery, I started trying to hold the gel-led compress against my neck, then a bit on the back of my head, then around my eyes... just doing five minutes at a time, then repeating that whole process again every hour or so...
After you go under the knife, everyone just wants to get back to their "normal" self immediately, right? But honestly, with this specific procedure, you’re going to be totally fine within like seven days... I'm telling you. I've completely stopped using foundation or concealer entirely, and my nose looks absolutely incredible...👍
Hey there...

I was just sitting here wondering how everything actually turned out...😕 I’m honestly just glad everything worked out the way it was supposed to this time around, and that your recovery was such a breeze... seriously, you bounced back fast. Enjoy rocking that new gear! Cheers...🙂

Hey everyone!
It’s been three weeks since my surgery. I only went in for the cosmetic stuff, and while everything went smoothly on the medical side, I have to be honest—I’m not exactly thrilled with how things look right now. I know, I know, it’s still early days and everything needs time to swell down and settle into its final shape, but there’s this tiny bump that’s still clearly visible right where it used to be (you can see it from the profile, and even when looking straight on or at a slight angle). I really hope I’m just being a total perfectionist here, trying to straighten out my nose only to end up with something even more lumpy... The doctor keeps telling me it’s too soon to judge the final result, but deep down, I’ve got this nagging feeling that this is just how it’s going to stay. On top of that, the tip feels narrower, and I can feel this little lump on one side right at the peak. I’ve spent hours scouring every forum and thread out there, and honestly, nobody seems to mention having a bumpy nose after the cast comes off. I feel so discouraged about it all, like maybe the whole thing was a waste of time! Has anyone else dealt with this, or did you all actually get those perfectly smooth, FLAT noses the second your cast was removed?!
