It’s already been 3 months since my nose surgery! Time seems to have gone by faster than I expected.
Even up to weeks 2~3, there was still swelling left, so I wondered, “When will it start looking natural?” But after 2 months, I could visibly see the line gradually settling. Especially when I woke up in the morning, I definitely felt that the difference in swelling had decreased. Now, most of the major swelling is almost gone, and only a little minor swelling remains.
Around the 3-month mark, it really feels like my nose has naturally blended into my face. Before, my nose felt low and spread out, so I was always disappointed when taking photos, but now the side profile looks more refined, so I’m much more satisfied when taking pictures. I especially like that my nose line looks clear even in unedited photos.
There’s almost no discomfort in daily life either. As long as I don’t bump my nose hard, there’s no pain, and when washing my face or doing makeup, there are barely any areas I need to worry about anymore. But since it’s still not completely stabilized yet, I’m living while being a little careful with the nasal tip.
I can definitely feel the difference when doing makeup too. Before, I had to pay quite a bit of attention to contouring, but now even doing it lightly brings out dimension, so it’s become much more convenient. My overall image also feels clearer, so people around me often tell me my impression looks neater.
I heard it will continue settling until about 6 months, so I’m looking forward to that, and I’m already fully satisfied with how it is now. I think it will become even more natural as time passes, so I’m even more excited for what’s ahead :)
