Hi guys, so today is Day 11 post-op.
I got my cast removed 3 days ago so um,
I suppose to update since then, I’ve gone back to work.
This is how the bruising looks; so it’s just a small bit here
that I’m able to cover with makeup
and this side obviously I can only cover some of it,
and it’s still quite visible through my makeup,
so I haven’t been able to cover it completely.
So, you still can see some of it,
but it definitely has gone down quite a bit,
so I know there’s still a bit to go left,
until like maybe about another 2 or 3 weeks at least
until it’s like completely gone.
In relation to the swelling, I still feel like there’s
a lot of swelling around here and around the tip to go down.
I hope so because when I rub down my nose like this,
I can feel there’s a bit of a bump here,
so I’m hoping that’s just swelling there and that it will go down.
And over the last couple of weeks,
it will become more refined
and I’ll hopefully notice some more definition.
It’s, it’s been fine; I’ve gone back to work.
I haven’t had any pain; I’m just like, I suppose,
more conscious of just being careful not to move really quickly
and just like taking things more slowly in work.
And just like being more aware of like things
coming close to my face
although I haven’t had any accidents
or nothing has hit like touched off my face
and my nose or anything like that
So, hopefully that will stay the same.
You can see that my scar is still pretty red underneath.
Obviously I can cover that with makeup.
I will start treating that soon with like some Bio-Oil I think.
I know that’s really good for scars,
so I’ll start that soon and hopefully that will help reduce the redness.
But yeah, I don’t, I haven’t really, I haven’t had any
like pain around the night that, sometimes I just feel
a little bit sore around here a little bit.
It’s, it’s definitely still like really tender to touch,
but obviously that’s expected, I’m only 11 days post-op.
I’m doing the tape at night and I think because of that,
I think the tape might be irritating my skin a little bit,
because it’s really sensitive,
so I’m getting kind of all red marks on my nose and
but yeah, I just put loads of cream on,
then afterwards when I take the tape off,
so hopefully that will just protect my skin.
I hope for the next couple of weeks that there’s still like
a bit more swelling to go down
and that I will see more of more refined just, just around here I
feel like there’s more swelling and definitely around the tip.
But when I look on my nose, now I feel like it’s more,
a little bit more swollen than before I went in for the op,
so I’m hoping that there’s a good bit more to go down
over the next couple of weeks; but I know it is, it’s slow
like those small aspects will take, it will take a while
to go before you actually see the finished result.
But um yeah I’ll come back again tomorrow with another update.
