After 5 months of nose surgery
3,901I feel very nervous, just like on the day of surgery. I took some selfies on the way to the clinic. Is there a lot of swelling and swelling?
There was only yellowish around the eyes, and all the bruises disappeared, not too obvious. Severe swelling has swollen, I thought that only one week passed.. So I am very happy to go to the clinic.
TaDa! Finally, I felt relieved after removing the stitches and the splint. Because of the slight swelling, my photo looks very strange.
Even the doctor said that my double eyelids are very beautiful, so I took a lot of selfies on the way home. I am worried that my eyes will look closer after the nose surgery, but not, so there is nothing to worry about. I have been looking at my side (contour) and I have been staring at the mirror.
The doctor said that the swelling will be more swollen, so I hope my final result will be more beautiful. 68 0 11908 After 150 days 5 months after After 120 days It is four months already! No one can notice that I’ve had surgery if I don’t tell them.
On the street people who I don’t even know tell me I'm so pretty. I can’t believe this is happening to me and I've never imagined this could happen in my life. Nowadays I can give some advice to my friends who are considering plastic surgery.
It seems all my close friends have got used to my new look and don’t mention it anymore, but some other friends still ask me it something changed with me and tell me I look great. This makes me feel awesome.
