3 months & 1 week after Surgery

I can tell my nose is healing up looking at the last pictures taken. Last Monday a day before my 3 month mark I pulled out a stitch about 1/2 the size of an eye lash under my nose. I could tell something was there and it was dark. My husband told me to get something and see if it would come out so I used a little safety pin and popped right out. It was trying to heal around this area and now I know why it was still kind of buckled there.

9 1/2 Weeks After Surgery

I can really tell by the previous pictures it is looking beter each week. It is hard to tell when you see your nose everyday. I am still not liking my nostrils. I thought it was getting better but it's not.

6 Weeks After Surgery

These were taken on April 28th but I never got around to posting them.

Four Weeks After Surgery

I can really tell that my nose is starting to fill back in now. It still does not look to good and I am still wearing a bandaid over it when I go out of the house. Here are the pictures of my nose today 4 weeks later.

Three Weeks After Surgery

I am not sure how I am feeling about this three weeks out. I still have to wear a bandaid when I go out of the house since I can not hide it with makeup yet. I tried last week. What a mess and it was so hard to clean out of the grooves. Maybe in a few more weeks I will be able to cover it up. I mainly get comments from kids asking their parents why I have a bandaid on my nose.

Two Weeks After Surgery - Day 15

My surgery was two weeks ago today so I thought I should share some new pictures. My husband says my nose is looking better everyday. I will start posting weekly pictures of my nose for now and then monthly pictures once it gets better. I am still hoping it will change a lot I do not like that one of my nostrils is larger than the other hopefully it will change. I know Dr. Rowley said it will really change in the next few months so I am hoping for it to look even better.

Ninth Day After Surgery

I got all of my stitches out today. Saturday evening I started feeling better by Sunday I was feeling a lot better but thought I was all better and kind over did it so I had to lay down for the rest of the day and take it easy. This week I have been out and about. It is so nice to feel better I am not very good at being sick. I think Dr Rowley was impressed with how well my nose has healed. He said it will change a lot in the next few weeks/months.

So yesterday when I took my daughter to her dance class I put a large bandaid over the bridge of my nose and a smaller one from the bottom middle up over the bridge so no one would see this and gross out. After I got my sititches out today I just put one over the bridge of my nose and went into Frys Electronics with my daughter and kind of kept my head down. This will be so nice not to have to wear anything on my nose when I go out but I will keep something on there until I can put make up on there so people will not stare at me.
