I did a few more self portraits 4 days post-op. You can really see that it has started to heal very nicely
Day 4 Crop
Day 4
You can see the marks that the bandages were leaving on my face. I was afraid that the rest of the skin around the site would start to break down, but luckily it did not.
Today I got the stitches out. My surgeon was very pleased with my progress. So am I; I can't believe it's the same nose.
7 days post-op
Complete with "after work shook out ponytail hair". Please do not feed the hair...
I was advised that none of the "scar reducing creams" would do any good. Instead, I should apply a moisturizer and stimulate the circulation in the area by rubbing it in small circles. Also, to ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN and makeup with an SPF. Roger Wilco, Dr. Ma'am!
It still aches a bit (and having the stitches removed was not pleasant), but I'm glad that it's all over. I'm looking forward to what it will look like in 6 months or so. I'm also looking forward to maybe some pictures of myself with makeup on... Eek!
