204 0 13811 After 180 days Time flies so fast, now swelling is gone and I feel more comfortable. And I hear a lot of compliments regarding my appearance. I think I did a pretty good job considering the plastic surgery.
Now if I do not tell people first that I had surgery nobody knows about it. I am happy because I think that my appearance changed naturally and I am satisfied. Nowadays, I live by listening to funny pictures.
These days, I’m very into taking selfies. After 90 days I was worried about whether my nose was too high, but I am satisfied with the surrounding reaction that I became more masculine. The more I look in the mirror, the more I forget my preoperative face that looked plain.
I expect to see a transformation when the swelling disappears more. After 30 days It’s been a month since surgery. As the swelling gradually disappeared the surgery that seemed overdone became natural and people around me started complimented me, so I thought it was good idea to have surgery.
I was walking a lot to reduce swelling quickly.
