rapidbadger7 said:So... when am I supposed to actually start the nasal rinsing thing? Like, seriously... when does that even begin...

Honestly, don't sweat it too much—you just gotta let that mucus do its thing and circulate.
The only exception is if you're dealing with an allergy; then yeah, a cortisone spray is probably your best bet.

I mean, I'm out here living way up in the Appalachian Mountains, so traveling to some fancy clinic isn't exactly easy...🙂 Man, I don't even know if that kind of stuff is available here... she'd probably have to fly halfway across the country just to find it. Is it actually worth the trip though? Or should I just sit tight and wait for everything to blow over on its own?...

silverorca6 said:I think I'll give those online massage techniques a shot and see how it goes. I'm definitely gonna steer clear of the upper section—from the root down to about halfway—since that area is still pretty tender to the touch. Won't be pressing too hard, either. Thx!
Donna Johnson16 said:I can't quite recall if it's exactly like that, but I think they don't actually touch the nose itself during a Toyota massage; after getting rhinoplasty, you should definitely just steer clear of it. Honestly, indirect lymphatic drainage should be more than enough

silverorca6 said:Alright, folks! Listen up!
It’s been ten days since my surgery and honestly? Everything is going smooth as silk. No bruising, no scabbing, nothing. I felt like I could breathe perfectly again by day five, and the weirdest part is that I haven't even dealt with any pain—not even a little bit. I haven't even had to mess around with saline rinses. Just using some antibiotic ointment twice a day with a Q-tip, and that's it. There isn't even any mucus or blood on the swab anymore. It’s all just totally clean and clear.
So... here's the deal. I was told that both my roots and the tips are all swollen and tight, but honestly, nothing too crazy. They also told me I need to do lymphatic drainage on my cheeks every single day. Now, I'm sitting here wondering—can I actually pull this off at home, or is this strictly something you have to go to a high-end spa for? Because, let's be real, I live way out in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.🙂 Man, where would I even find something like that around here? I’d probably have to hop on a plane just to track it down. Is it actually worth the trip, though? Or should I just sit tight and wait for the whole thing to blow over on its own?
Plus... I was told everything just needs some time to settle into place. Honestly, I’m not even sure if they mean that regarding the tip—I still feel like it’s pulling slightly to one side. But looking at my profile? It looks perfect. Even with the swelling, I absolutely loved how it looked the second they took the mold off. The asymmetry is totally gone now, too; everything is straight and looks super natural.
