1st week Post Surgery

During the first week I had a lot of swelling around the eyes, and a fair bit of bruising. On the second day my eyes were practically swollen shut. I knew this was what was to be expected though, so I wasn't worried at all. I knew it was all part of the healing process. From the third day the swelling had dropped into my cheeks, making me look like a hamster storing nuts for the winter - not a good look! That took a few days to go down. Eventually the bruising started to change colour and disappear. Could already tell that my nose was smaller even with the cast on which was promising for me so I was really hoping that this would all be worth it in the end!
