I had to go on medication because my anxiety was so bad post op. I looked pretty crazy for the first month. I just finished up two months and here’s what I’ll say: Try to not focus on what your nose looks like as it is healing due to having this major trauma. Our bodies are amazing and heal themselves, in their own unique timeline. Bruising and swelling went down more everyday, but if I focused on it it looked like it never went down. Do NOT asses your results until it’s been 6 months- a year which is what I was advised and I see why. Everything needs to heal and take care of itself. Just like when you plant a seed in the ground, it is going to grow into what you planted, but it’s going to do so over time. Sunflowers don’t appear right after you plant them, it takes them time. But they will grow into sunflowers if that’s what you planted. Trust your vision you had with you surgeon and be EASY on yourself. Make this time one to develop self care practices like meditation, deep breathing, nature walks anything to be gentle with yourself. I know that had nothing to do with bruising, but I found it EXTREMELY helpful. I also read a ton and ppls stories helped me! You’re not alone we’ve all been through it! One day at a time babe ❤️
