I went to a maxillo-facial surgeon in California. Luckily for me I live here so the surgery was just a drive away.
Here’s a link to the original thread I posted the day of surgery, it’s a good read trust me
Simply, this recovery has not been easy. I broke my nose 2 years ago playing basketball so my breathing was fucked and my nose was extremely deviated. Typically rhinoplasty takes 2 hours, which is about how long the surgeon told me mine would be. Ended up being 4 fucking hours (this resulted in much more pain and swelling, the pain meds they gave me have not been enough and I’ve had to go to the fucking ER to get injections just to be able to sleep KMS)
This will definetly be worth it in the end but holy shit this has been depressing and very painful.
Here’s a picture of me at the ER the other night
The swelling is obviously really bad; here’s some media I took right after surgery that shows what I looked like before a lot of the swelling appeared
Overall, the surgeon did an amazing job, it was a very tough surgery though as my nose was fucked before. I think I put my photos from before in the thread i linked (which also has a link to more photos lol) so after this recovery I think I’ll ascend a full psl point (LFG) but the recovery has been FUCKED.
