The swelling around the outside of my nose has gone down so much that it feels like it’s almost all gone, but my nose itself is still a bit swollen. Even just yesterday, my nose looked so swollen and bulbous that I understood why people say they feel a sense of loss after removal, but today the swelling seems to have gone down a lot in the meantime, so it looks pretty okay. Still, I think the swelling is still quite severe. They say the contours gradually start to show as the swelling goes down, but I still can’t see the contours yet. As for bruising, I still have yellow bruising on the bridge of my nose near the glabella, and I started washing my face with water from today. I was seriously dying because of the sebum, but even washing lightly makes it bearable... I really want to properly remove the sebum soon I was originally going to go out for work starting today, but of all places, the bruise is in an area that even a mask can’t cover, so I’m planning to wait a little longer before going out. If you have any questions, leave a comment.
