Post Rhinoplasty - Day 17


The nose is feeling not so good but yesterday it was little bit more pleasant. The bridge where they removed the bump is the tenderest part, still tender to the touch. When I smile nose is hurting and feels kind of tight. I can smile fine though, just not my normal smile. I'm thinking that will be back to normal after 2 months. Still taking steam and nasal spray but nose is little bit congested though I can breathe through nose, but through one nostril at a time. A new problem, I doubt, the mucous oozing out of my nose has some odor in it. I asked my mom to stand near me and feel any odor coming or what but she denied, No odor. but I feel myself smelling. I ring my orthognathic surgeon Dr. Jeomy to know about this more but he didn’t answer to my call. He might be busy.

The swelling on my face is pretty much gone and nose swelling, which takes 1 year to go down all the way. Bruising is there as a small patch under both eyes. Eye sore seems to be back today so I took a nap after lunch putting eye drops on both eyes but that didn’t help much. So I think it would be better if consult a specialist.


Today’s symptoms:-

  • Pain = none
  • Congestion = little bit worse than day 14, but can breath through nose!
  • Swelling = improved.
  • Bruising = still there as small patches under both eye!
