These are progress photos from about one month after my revision surgery at a clinic. I intentionally took some right after waking up in the morning and some after putting on makeup. My swelling is at its worst in the morning. This was my 5th rhinoplasty revision. I had an upturned nose, and I had correction of nostril asymmetry and nostril lowering. Autologous costal cartilage was used. When I recently went to the clinic for my one-month follow-up, they prescribed me medication for swelling. It definitely seems to help with the swelling. Ah, my nasal tip swelling is worst right after I wake up. I think it is even more like that because I sleep wearing a retainer.. Still, they told me I have to wear it for 6 months to 1 year.. (When I wear this, it definitely presses down the grafted area inside and the scar tissue that was there before, so the scarring looks less visible.) So I wear it diligently when I sleep!! My nasal tip is still hard, but.. I can feel that this is all swelling. I like that the swelling seems to be going down and the line and shape are gradually becoming more visible.
