1 Month Post Rhinoplasty

It's been one month as of today since I had the surgery and exactly four weeks post-surgery.  I haven't updated lately because I haven't really had anything new to say and finally the black mark has moved off from under my eyes. I think I look much different from the front. My nose button is still sensitive to touch and numb in places. My nose overall is feeling a lot more "normal", but yet not feels like it's my nose again. The tip is still numb and feels a little strange, but the rest feels really good! Swelling isn’t changing much but I expected it to be a slow process. Congestion is still heavy sometimes and drainage is often soo much heavy. Nose is still numb so I’m not conscious of drainage reaching my lips but the plus side I able to breathe through nose. I've been so lucky in avoiding pain and discomfort. I can't believe I had surgery only 4 weeks ago!

The craziest thing is, my nose job isn't very noticeable to people.  I know that's hard to believe, because the people reading this blog are looking at the before and after pictures side-by-side, but not one person has asked me anything about it.  No one at work has said anything to me, the work girls, who I met straight after having the splint removed, didn't notice. They couldn't believe it when I told them and I had to show them before and after pictures before they actually noticed :) and I was around my whole extended family and I had to tell the ones who didn't already know.  They were all supportive of my decision said it looked great, but the general consensus was they could see the difference now that I mentioned it, but wouldn't have noticed on their own.  Even my mom says she doesn't notice it when she looks at me.  This is not exactly what I was going for, but I am very pleased with this new nose! Well, I still absolutely love the nose and I'm so excited when I catch a glimpse of it!
