Recovery: 12 Days Post-Op

Pain = none
Congestion = same or a little worse than yesterday, wondering if i'm getting a cold, oh no
Swelling = seems about the same as yesterday
Bruising = improved, almost gone now, just a couple very light yellow spots on cheeks

Slept ok, woke up a few times, and seem more congested today, but still airways in both nostrils so that's good. My nose feels a lot more elastic and "normal" today, like it's slowly becoming part of my face. The numbness is only in the bottom tip of the nose and that's supposed to stick around for a year or so. It's feeling a little less tender overall. Smiling is much easier like normal now!

Been doing the saline spray & vaseline combo a lot, it loosens things up and if i can gently blow it out i can breathe so well for a bit.

Looking forward to no more mouth breathing, but i feel like i'm still a week or so away from that, it's ok though, the congestion is slowly getting a lot better.

The results improve day to day and i'm really appreciating the new nose more and more as it's revealed. The doc said there will be a slight hump where my big hump used to be for a little while. That has gone down a lot, still very very slight but i can see it all evening out. I think it takes some time for the skin to "redrape" as well, over the new nose shape stay there.

Will take more pics for the next update!
