My Personal Nose Job Recovery Diary: 30 Days from a Patient Perspective

The First Week of Rhinoplasty Healing Journal

Day 2: Swelling and Sensations

Hello, potato face! 🤡 The swelling kicked in big time, making me look like I lost a fight with a bee. 🐝 Pain management was key, and I kept up with my meds and icing routine. Despite the puffiness, there was a sense of relief—it was done, and recovery was underway.

Day 3: Bruises and Colors

By the third day, my face sported a rainbow of yellows, purples, and blues.🌈 It was a bit shocking to see the transformation of my nose, but knowing this was normal helped a lot. I spent most of my time propped up with pillows, binge-watching, and avoiding mirrors, and of course writing on my job recovery diary.🍿
